GENERAL CoURr--Mr. Randolph's Will.
The Richmond Enquirer Of the 10Th
inst. says: The General Court ad-
journed on Friday last, after session
| Of seventeen days. On Friday even>
ing the Court decided that the will of
! Mr.. Randolph dated in December,
1921, with its codioil annexed, the
codicil of 1896, the four codicils Of
1928, and the codicil Of 1891, written
in London, should be admitted to pro-
bate as the last will and testament Of
that extraordinary man. The effect
ofthese instruments is, we understand,
to ibera,e his slaves and provide for
their removal to one Of the States or
Territories. To Judge Tucker, his
half brother, and to Mrs. Bryan, the
daug hler of half sister, TO each) an
estate is. devised. The great bulk of
the remaining property is devised TO
Judge Leigh, but he having released
all his interest, it will be distributed

We have very recently published an
account of certain hoslililies said to
have taken place between Indians and
Whites on our Northwestern frontier.
The Missouri Republican Of the 5th
instant, received yesterday, furnishes

Indian hos,ilities, which, it appears
in this case, as in SO many others, were
a mere brawl, owing its origin 10 the
depravity and brutality Of white men ::
"We have been informed by gem
tleman Who was within thirty miles Of
the scene Of this affair, that ii origina-
ted in a d, unken trolic at a grocery
kept by one Of the white mea. There
we're several white men and several
Indians at the grocery. They got
drunk, fought, and two Of the whites
were Killed. Afterwards the whites
were reinforced & one Indian was kill
ed. He had these particulars from
gentleman who came from the immsdl.

ST. Louis, July 5.
We have seen Mr.. JESSE Ray,
Of Jefferson county, in this State, just
returned from visit to Kentucky,
who informs US, that within quarter
Of mile OF Paris, in Edgar county,
Illinois, at the place where they had
eneamped, he saw twelve Indians who
had been slain by the inhabitants Of
the town. The party, on their ARR
val at that poiat, consisted Of IA men,
who had obtained whiskey from the
people OF the town, and were intoxi-
Gated and noisy. In the attack twelve
of the number were shot, and the sur
yiving two were pursued through the
woods. The Indians, it seems, were
going up tho Wabash, and were all
mounted, bu, had left their horses al
the camp. We could no. learn to
what tiibe they belonged. Our infor-
mans states that the number of white
men assembled at the scene OF slaugh-
ter was about 90 /; that they were most.
ly intoxicated, and threatened a like
ia.e to all Indians who should come
10, or pass through their comfy
Republican.
