.ha' Mr. Wright and four children were
llnh'umanly murdered, about the 26th
June, near Cave Hill, Washington Coun-
", Ark, for money, as it was supposed.
It was generally believed at Fort Gibson,
that the perpetrators of this act have been
pursued and taken with many others Of
notorious character, and that the law will
De dlsdensed with, and they be disposed
OF very summarily by Judge Lynch.
The Natchez Free Trader thus states
the same report: 'sThe steam boat John
Jay arrived yesterday from Fort Gibson,
Little Rock, &c. having left the former
place on Tuesday last. There was some
disturbance among the Indians, arising
from dissatisfaction in regard to the trea-
ties made by their government. Major
Riggs, his son, and Boudenot, were kill
ed by one of the three parties into which
they have divided. Ross was at the head
of about 1000 men. He was offered adj
mlttance into the fort by Gen, Arbuckle,
but declined unless his whole: party were
included, which was refused.''
VISIT OF THE PRESIDENT 10 New
YoRK.-The Journal of Commerce of the
Sd gives the following account Of it,
''rhe President Of the United States
arrived in this city between IL and l o.
clock, and met with very fattering re-
ception. The order Of proceedings, cor
responded with the programme, publish
ed in our last. On passing from Jersey
City to the Battery, he was saluted by
the Forts, and by the U. S. ship N. Car.
DINA, and other vessels. On landing, he
was saluted from the Battery. We had
not the honor of being at Castle Garden
while the addresses and congratulations
were going on, but we dare say they were
appropriate and cordial. The Garden ap-
peared to be crowded with ladies and gen.
tlemen. In the mean time several thou
sand persons were collected on the Bate
ry, in addition to the military, who were
out in great numbers, including the first
division of artillery, under Major General
Stanford, and a division OF infantry under
Major General Floyd. They appeared
extremely well.
After being reviewed by the President
on the Battery they escorted him up
Broadway to the City Hall, where he
was received by the Common Council
without distinction Of party. The pro.
cession was very long, and sufficiently
splendid for republican country. Com
pany after company, we know not how
many, each varying from the rest in its
style of uniform, followed in long success
ION, till it seemed as if the last would me-
yer come.
At length, however, at the very heel Of
the military procession, appeared Mr. Van
Buren,, on horseback, with his bald head
uncovered, accompanied by the Mayor
and other distinguished citizens.
civic procession followed in the rear.
When the President reached the vicinity
of Tammany Hall, (which as we'll as all
other buildings in the vicinity were crowd
ed with SPECTATORS general and hearty
cheering rent the air, which he acknowl.
edged by sundry acts of obeisance to the
sovereign people.
Altogether the affair went off in excel
lent style, and we are sure he must have
been more than satisfied with his recep-
ton. 1t was such a reception as was due
to the Chief Magistrate of 100000 of
people. And we are happy to say, that
although the programme appears to have
contemplated little else than party cele-
bration, it was not such in fact. The pc.
litical opponents of the President were
disposed to pay him respect on account
of his station, if for no other reason.
