MASSACRE OF INDIANS.

-

We copy the following from the San Francisco
4nd Ocean Mail Letter :—" Never, as journalists,
have we been called upon to comment upon so flag.
rant and inexcusable an act of brutality as is in-
volved in Gen. Kibbe's last In Tian war—a scheme
mofornstuinrdheurnicaonncalnidvecdowinaisaple3c,autlrioticointva.nlifteixie account
dint
of Mr. George Lount, a resident o.t. Pitt River, be
true, Gen. Kibbe and all the cowardly band of cut-
throats who accompanied him should be hung by
the law for murder; for murder it is, most foul and
inexcusable. Sixty defenceless Indian women and
children killed in their own ranclieria at night, by
an armed band of white ruffians. The massacre of
Glencoe does not afford its parallel for atrocity.
This band of Indians were friendly, had committed
no outrage, were on their own lands, in their own
homes, only 10 Indian men with them, unarmed
and helpless. Gen. Kibbe's name, if responsible
for these acts, should be more infamous than Hay-
nau or any of the licensed butchers of tyranny.
This massacre is not excused even by the common
plea of expediency, policy, or necessity which has
palliated the butcheries oc history. The Indians
have been driven from their hunting ground by
the white man's stock. Their fishing racks have
been destroyed by the caprice or for the convenience
of the white man. Their grasshoppers are driven
away by the cultivation of the soil. Their acorns
are exhausted by the white man's hog, and, driven
to desperation by actual want and starvation, they
have stolen the white man's ox. ' When Governor
Weller, on Sept. 15, authorised W. J. Jarboe to or-
ganise a company- of 20 men to make war on the In-
dians who had been stealing stock, every man pro-
vided his own horse, rifle, revolver, knife, and am-
munition. In 70 days they had 15 battles (?) with
the Indians ; killed more than 400 of them; took 600
of them prisoners, and had only three of their own
number wounded and one killed. In 13 of their
fights the whites were the assailants, attacking the
red men either in their rancherias at daylight, or
encamped soon after having stolen stock. In two
cases the Indians were the assailants.' Brave gal-
lant Jarboe ! Brave and gallant Twenty.' Under
the license of law; under the cover of night; in
the safety of your ambush, you have murdered in
sold blood more than 400 sleeping, unarmed, igno-
rant, unoffending Digger Indians, men, women, and
children. Listen to the horrible detail of one of the
most atrocious massacres !—"fhe attacking party
rushed upon them, blowing out their brains and
splitting open their skulls with tomahawks. Little
children in baskets, and even babes, had their heads
smashed to pieces or cut open. Mothers and infants
shared the common fate. The screams and cries of
the victims were frightful to hear, but no supplica-
tion could avail to avert the work of devilish
butchery. It will scarcely be credited that this
horrible scene occurred in Christian California,
within a few days' travel from the State capital.
Humanity sickens at the thought. Many of the
fugitives were chased and shot as they ran. Where
whole families had been butchered was indicated
by heaps of bodies, composed of the mother and
her little ones. The children, scarcely able to run,
toddled towards the squaws for protection, crying
with fright, but were overtaken, slaughtered like
wild animals, and thrown into piles. From under
the haycocks, where some of them had taken re•
fuge, they were dragged out and slain. One
woman got into a pond hole, where she hid herself
under the grass, with her head above water, and
concealed her papoose on the bank in a basket.
She was discovered, and her head blown to pieces
—the muzzle of the gun being placed against
her scull—and the child was drowned in the pond.
The ground was covered with blood, and the
brushwood ranches, of which there were 50 or 60,
were filled with the dead bodies. Old decrepit
squaws, young girls, and infants, none were spared.
Guns, knives, and hatchets- were used, but
the favourite method appears to have been stav-
ing in the head with_tomahawks. The blush of
dawn shone upon this fearful spectacle, and still
the massacre went on. Some of the wretched crea-
tures had lived with the very men who now, struck
them down. Yet this iniquitous deed goes un-
punished—unpunished did we say? A bill of nearly
70,000 dols. is now before the Legislature await-
ing payment, to be distributed, in part, among these
crimsoned murderers! Many of the women were
found butchered with their children in their arms
—the mother's head blown or cut to pieces, and
that of the child split in twain by tomahawks. In
their blind and insatiate fury they killed one of their
own party (M'Elroy) while firing into a bevy of
squaws who had huddled together for protection.
When the slaughter was over, the shambles were
examined, and more than 60 squaws and children
and 10 Indian men were found dead on the field.'
Let this matter be thoroughly examined. Let
10,000 dols, be expended to ferret out and bring to
justice the guilty party. It .is due to humanity.
It is due to the fame of the State. It is due to the
oemocratie party. It is due to the Indian."

The annual meeting of the subscribers to the
Royal Literary Fund was held yesterday at the
office, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, Earl Stan-
hope in the chair. There were also present Mr. W.
M. Thackeray, Mr. Monckton Milnes, M.P , Mr.
Panizzi, Mr. R. Bell, Mr. W. Tooke, the Rev. Dr.
Major, Mr. F. Godwin, &c. The minutes of the
1 tat general meeting having been read and con-
'firmed, the hon. secretary read the report of the
council for the past year, from which it appeared
that during the past year they had expended £1,640
in relieving the wants of distressed authors and their
families. The total number of grants was 49, of
which two were of £lOO each, one of £7O, three of
£6O each, five of £6O each, and the others of smaller
sums. Of the applicants 35 were gentlemen and 14
ladies. Among the latter were five authoresses, the
other nine being the widows of authors. Several
of the applicants were relieved for the seventh time
out of the ,fund. Of the total sum distributed, the
gentlemen received £985, and the ladies £655. The
corporation commeneed the year with a balance
in
hand to the extent of £205, including which, its
total income arising from the fund, house property,
subscriptions, and other sources, amounted to
£2,246 2s. 4d. ; deducting. from which £1,640 paid
in grants, plus £76 19s. 7d.—the balance in hand
at the termination of the year—it appeared that
the cost of the general management of the fund
amounted to £529 2s. 9d. This report having
been received and adopted,- the thanks of the
meeting were voted to the registrar, treasurers,
and auditors of the corporation for their services
during the past year. The chairman then said it
became his duty to read to the meeting a report.
of the general committee, in reference to .an
offer that had been made to the corporation
through Mr. Charles Dickens and Mr. Elwyn.
This report, without stating the nature of the offer
, according to rumour, was a large and
valuable library—merely stated that the committee,
after carefully considering the subject, had come
to the resolution to decline the proffered gift ;
whereupon the offer had been withdrawn. Earl
Stanhope then went on to say that the meeting
would perceive that the report was a very short
one, but that he should at
.once proceed to inform
those present why it was the committee did not
thitik it desirable to go into the matter at greater
length. It was simply because they did not think
it expedient to state anything which might lead to
controversy. The general committee did not
trouble itself with the nature of the offer, as their
duty was merely to consider whether they should
recommend the society to accept it, and under all
the circumstances of the case they decided that the
offer ought not to be accepted. Whereunon the
two gentlemen through whom it came withdrew it,
and there was therefore now no question to be
brought before the meeting. It had fallen to his
lot to take the chair at some of the meetings of the
committee while the subject was being considered,
and it was imt just to Mr. Dickens and Mr. Elwyn
that he should bear witness to the courtesy, kind-
ness, and conciliatory spirit which they displayed
throughout the whole proceedings. Indeed nothing
could have been more satisfactory. (Hear, hear.)
There being now no offer before the society, the
question was at rest, and it was not desirable by
further discussion to re-open the question. It was
not, however, the wish of the committee to fetter
the freedom of any gentleman present, to whom it
was perfectly open to raise the question. The
committee thought that such a course was not de-
sirable, nor did the gentlemen themselves whose
names he had already mentioned wish to have the
discussion renewed, and he was sure the meeting
would agree with him in the sentiment that, while
gentlemen think it a duty by all means in their
power to improve the society, they were justified
in taking for that purpose whatever course they
could reconcile to their own sense of justice, but
that it was for the advantage of the meeting to
avoid everything like controversy, and confine
themselves to the literary and benevolent objects
for which they had been incorporated. (Hear,
hear.) The more they could, coesistently with
these objects, avoid all controversies of an angry
character the better it would be for the institution

in -whose welf,re they were all concerned. The re-
port was then adopted, after which the Bishop of
St. David's Was elected a vice-pmident of the cor-
poration in succession to the late Lord Macaulay ;
the Rev:Dr....Croly, the Rev. Dr. Russell, and the

Right lion. E. Cardwell were elected to fill three
vacancies in the council, and there being one
vacancy on the general committee Mr. W. Thacke-
ray was elected to fill it. Earl Stanhope, in ex-
preEsing his acknowledgments for the vote of thanks
fcr his conduct in the chair, said he had great
plcaSure in announcing that the next anniversary
meeting would be presided over by that distin-
guished scholar and historian as well as illustrious
prelate, the Lord Bishop of St. David's. The pro-
ceedings then terminated.
