FROM CARSON VALLEY - Carson Valley, Aug. 29 - Judge CRANE has just returned from a trip to Carson, and up the Humboldt. He states on the report of immigrants, that the number of persons who will yet arrive across the Plains for California, Oregon, and Washington and Nevada Territories, between April and December, will not fall short of 70,000. Some 20,000, it is believed, will locate in Nevada Territory. The stock of all kinds will amount to 20,000 - some of which are of the best blood. The emigration to Oregon and Washington is very large. Judge CRANE confirms the massacre of the immigrants at Sublett's Cutoff. One of the SHEPHARD brothers will be here to-marrow. The Mormons and Indians robbed them of $800 in gold. A man by the name of DAVIS confessed at the Sink of the Humboldt, that the Mormons and Indians committed the massacre. The people at Humboldt gave him warning to get out of the way. He will be there in a few days. Judge CRANE leaves there in a few days for Walker river.
