HORRID BARBARITY.

Massacre Of Iadians The Indiana Gszcue,
published at Indianapolis, Of March 80, gives
the particulars OF one OF the most outrageous
transactions tbst has OCCURRED In our country
for several years The deed vas done 10y
some white men and equals in t'eachofy, and
cold blooded cruelty, almost any transaction OF
o similar character, rero' aed OF the Indians
since the days Of King Philip The following
are tho particulars given by the Gazette, as
furnished BY a man who nss Jus, past through
the neig ghbourhood, and In whose vcracity the
almost confidence msy DO reposcd,
"It seems that . party OF Indians, ten In
number, consisting Of three mso, three wo,
men, two girls hall grown, and two boys, were
spcamped on Fall Creek, in Madison County,
about miles above The Falls, aud IS mites

the three meo away from the camp. ior the
os,eosible purpose Of assisting them to hun,
some cattle. Afisr hey had gone some dis

shot dc sad 1.-THE ,hitd made his escape, bsdly
wounded In tbs evening Of tho ssrne dsy,
the same pa y tsrurned to the camp, and sf.
ter making some ptofsssions of fiend,hip,
Murdered he whole OF the women and chill.

ELEcTIoN.-This day the General
Assembly of this state will convene in
this town, when the government of the
state, for the ensuing political year, will
be duly organized. The Hon. JAMES
FENNER, Governor elect, with large
number Of the members of fthe legislature
and many Other passengers, arrived yes
terday afternoon in the steam boat Prov.
idence, Capt. TURNER.
Papers in diFrren, parts of the Union
have strangely misconstrucd the result of
the late election in this state, as respects
its having any reference to the presiden-
tial election. Ii is needless to go into
any reasoning on this subject. We
stated something previous to the election,
that the nomination of state officers had
no reference to the Presidential question
we say so now. No man in the state
has any doubt of Mr.. ADAMS receiving
the undivided support of this state-and
If his elevation to the Presidential chair
depends on Rhode Island, he will surely
be elected.
FoRTIFIcATIoNs.-The act making
appropriations for fortifying this harbor,
passed the Senate OH the 9th ult. 1t
now only waits the signature of the Pres.
idcnt.
TIE TARITF.-The bill on this sub
ject was made the order OF the day for
the 2Sth ult. in the Senate of the United
States. 1t is very doubtful what will be
the fate Of this bill in that body.
