Raftsman's Journal. (Clearfield, Pa.) February 24, 1858
By way of California, we have news that on December 7th, Col. Alexander, with the
6th dragoons, attempted to force their way through Echo Canyon and that in the
attempt, four dragoons were killed. Thinking it impossible to force the pass, Col.
Johnston, who had assumed command of the troops, retired, and in a few days
dispatched Col. Alexander with twenty-eight dragoons as an escort, to St. Louis, to
obtain supplies. The news is up to Dec. 13th at which time the troops were well
supplied with fuel and provisions, and were comfortable.
