The BOUNDARY QUESTION. The present
excitement on this question, if il produce nc
other benefit, will be advantageous in causing
thorough examination to be made into our
rights, and in making our people better ac-
quainted with them.
The New York Journal of Commerce oil
Friday last contains copy ofanother map OF
the disputed territory, published in London in
Aug l776,n which the western boundary and
the northwest angle of Nova Scotia is laid
down precisely where they are now claimed
TO be, by Maine and Massachusetts.
Messrs. Prebe and Galla,in, in their state

More INDIAN MuRDERs-We learn from
Monticello, that on Friday evening LAST, the
dwelling Of Edmund Gray, Esq. of Jefferson
county, within nine miles of Monticello. was
attacked by party of indians, and that he,
together with TWO Of bis children, were murder
ed, another child severely wounded, his house
burned 10 the ground and his plantation plum
the butt end of rifle, and stabbed in several
places very badly, and left by the savages
senseless as for dead in the yard. A fourth
child, comprising all his white family, being
about IL years old, fortunately escaped by
flight in The dark, although pursued some dis
lance, and shot at several lines. She was the
eldest of the children

A DREADFUL ACCOMPLISHMENT
LIVES LosT.-On Sunday night last, an ex-
posion took place in Heth's pit, a coal mine
situated about twelve miles from Richmond,
IN the county Of Chesterfield, by which it is
said that 63 negroes have been killed or bu.
ried alive. The shaft is 800 feet deep-deep-
er probably. than any other in the United
Sates-and as the falling in of the earth has
been considerable, there is no probability
that any of the persons below. fnow alive,
can be extricated.

MAiNE-The legislature Of this state has
passed resolutions auihorisiDg the Governor TO
forbear the exercise Of Jurisdiction over that
part Of their territory, the possession of which
is now usurped by New Brunswick, so far as
can be done consistently with the resolve of
Jan. 2ith. Also approving the measures ofthe
Governor, in carrying into effect that resolve,
and pledging the state to sustain him 10 his
course. And further, that as the prae,icability
of running the line in pursuance of the treaty
of 1888 is indubiiable, submission 10 another
arbitration would be virtual abandonment of
her rights and interest.
The last resolution states that a crisis has
arrived, when it becomes the duty Of the Gen
eral Government TO propose to Great Britain
joint commission TO run the line in accord.
ance with the treaty OF 1888, and in case of
her refusal, il is the duty of the United States
to run the line upon her own authority and TO
take possession Of the whole disputed territory
without delay.
