 lsasan oatrage.-Several gentlemen affiYed sl lh town oil Saturday from santa re. We learn that they state. that iiie were attached to aparty of twelve traders, all of them retufnino home that they were attacked on the Canadi. an Fork of the Arkansas. distant abant two hundred miles from Santa Fe. by probably 250 Camanche Indians; ard mat an engagement cnsued which last. ed 5S hours, and resulted in the death of two men. We understand. that on the day of the attacls-about the first oi January Indians were occasionally seen about them; and that in the eve #'iing, when one of the party attempted to bfIhg in mule CT two which had strayed some 40 yards from the main body, he was fired upon and killed. Ills name Fs;ss Pratt, |. timer who lad resided some time in santa Fe: Two balls and two spears entered his body. The attack was now commenced. i'm. mediately, the horses and mules were tied to a tree; and they, together with the baggage, afforded some protection, while the party were engaged in digg- Ing trench in the sand sufficiently deep toprotect them from the balls of inc Indians. But before this could be done another ot the party, Mir. Mitchell ol Boone county, WAS killed. The action lasted until twelve at night; when, the Indians having ceased firing,an attempt =Nas made 10 escape, but they were dri- ven back to their old entrenchment. Jn the return of day, the engagement was again rene wed and continued until night. By this time, their guns were rendered useless by shots from the h. dlans, their ammunition was expended. and almost every one of the men were wounded. They were now hailed by ono of the Indians, and told in Spanish that they might depart, and according 4y they prepared to do so. The Indians ailowei them to proceed on their way, directly through the main body, without molestation. It conld not be ascertain cd how many of the savages were kill ed, but some were seen to fall; and the Indians were observed frequently to crowd together, being sure indication that q ball had taken effect, and that they were engaged in carrying off the body. All the horses and mules, be- longing to the party were killed. They were thus compelled to abandon every article of tho baggage, and also ten or twelve thousand dollars in gold and sil- yer. On tho next day, the party was divided: one branch-that which has arrived here-vere 10 make for the nearest settlement, and the other took a route down the river. CT the five who took the last named direction, two proceeded in advance of the rest, and reached asettlement: they then return ed. with others, in search of the three whose progress had been retarded; but mo certain intelligence had been re- ceiyed of them.
 The party which has arrived suffer ed almost incredible hardships. They were logty-fwo daysin reaching a settle ment. In all thls time, they were al most without the means of procuring subsistence-were wounded and other wise disabled almost entirely destitute of clothing; and were withal, compell ed 10 perform the remainder of the jour
 ney on foot. They have not, even now
 recovered from their suilerings.
