ALARMING NEGLIGENCE FROM
THE INDIAN COUNTRY.

The New Era of the 18Th, says: Six
Mackinaw boats arrived last evening from
the Platte river, with Robes to p. Chou
teau, r. IL Co. We have been permitted
to see Letter from the U. S. Blacksmith
at Willow Creek, (Pawnee country) to his
friend in this city, dated on the Goth of
June, giving an account of the murders
committed by the Sioux Indians upon the
Pawnees and upon the wife of the Black
smith. His wife was shot on Tuesday NOR
ming, the 27th about 7 o'clock. The hus-
band had endcayoged to save her by shut
ting her mp in the shop, BIZ, she had not
time to bolt the door, and it was burst
open. She was killed, and they fell to
whipping the blacksmith, without doing
him serious injury, having their guns all the
while cooked, ready to fire. The Indians
had also killed LashapeI, the U. S. Inter-
prefer, who had been in that country for %
years; Capo Blue, first Chief Of the Paw
nee Tappages, and falher-in.law of the In
terpreter; a son-in-aw of the old Chief
| Moulin, and several other chiefs and braves
young men. women and children. 1t is al
SO stated, that out Of IL Lodges, 81 Of the
largest were burnt, and most of the horses
were stolen or killed on the spot. The
Pawnee Indians had left their villages to 60
on their Spring Hunt, Willow Creek
from whence this letter is dated is $50
miles up the Platte river, and the Sioux are
$50 above it. These Indians had exhibited
hostile feelings on several occasions during
the winter, and this attack on the Pawnees
had been expected for some time. We are
told that the United States are bound, by
treaty stiPulations, to protect the Pawnee
tribes from such invasions, and are surprised
that some efforts have not been made tc
tprevent these murders. If the Indians are
not entitled to protection, certainly those in
the employ Of the Government may claim

DEATH OF A VETERAN.-The Boston
papers announce the death of Capt. Cleve-

who travelled nearly 500 miles from his
home on the Susquehanna, at Oswego, to
attend the celebration of the 18th of June,
on the spot where he fought at the Battle of
Bunker Hill, under the immediate command
Of Putnam. He died on the 23d ult., at
the residence of Samuel C. Hunt, in
Charestown, where he had been kindly re-
ceived and entertained since his arrival in
that town.
Capt. Cleaveand was born in Canterbu-

after hearing Of the fight Of Lexington,
and entered the army at Cambridge. He
was in the Battle at Bunker Hill. and re-
ceivad an ensign's commission soon after
served through the whole war-was in
nearly all the prominent actions-and clos
ed his career at Yorktown, at the capture
of CORVALLIS. He was present when the
corner stone of Bunker Hill Monument was
laid, June 18th 1926, and was recognized
by La Fayette, who, on perceving him, ex-
claimed, "My God there is Capt. Cleve-
land'
This noble old patriot happily closed his
glorious career with the celebration of one
of the most memorable events in history.

1--WE heard a gentleman relate the
following anecdote the other evening, which
we think worthy Of publication:
He said he met with an old man who
was driving a drove Of mules and an old
mare with bell on her neck. After en-
terng into conversation, the old man.
pointing to the old mare, remarked: "when-
ever | look at that old mare | think OF
Tom Benton and his followers. If she
were to 60 to the devil headlong, all the
mules would be sure to follow her."
True: Whatever Tom Benton says is
right, is echoed by his followers without d
why or wherefore. and the comparison be.
tween him and his followers and the old
mare and the mules, is about as good as any
we have seen lately.

MR.. O'CoNNEL'S SPEECH.

On the first page of to-day's paper will
be found the speech of Daniel O'Connel'
on the subject of the Repeal of the union
between England and Ireland, and the abo
lition of slavery in the United States. His
uncaled for and Liberal remarks on the
subject of slavery and shareholders in the
United States, have met with the severe,
yet dignifed rebuke from the friends of re-
peal in this country, they so richly merit
He processes to speak the sentiments of
the Repealers of ireland, and if so, the
course pursued by the Charleston, South
Carolina, Repeal Association, is the one
that should be adopted by the Associations
generally. AS soon as the speech, in an Of
fetal form, was received and read in the as
ISOLATION, resolution was introduced and
carried, to dissolve and appropriate the
funds on hand to some charitable purpose
in the city. Other Associations have ex
pressed their disapprobation of the senti
ments contained in the speech, but evince {
determination to persevere in the cause o.
the oppressed of Ireland. An interference
on the part of the Irish people in our do
nestle affairs, is a poor return for the eff
forts of American citizens in their behalf
Mr.. O'Connell is expressing sentiment
long entertained on the subject of slavery
and is attempting to connect it with thu
popular subject of Repeal in order to de
ceive the people of Ireland, and get then
to sanction his views of the subject. Whel
the people of Ireland come to see the re
cepton the sentiments of their leader ME
with here, they will learn their cause is no
likely to be advanced by connecting
with Abolitionism.

MARKETS..

New ORLEANS, July 8.
The market during the past week has exhibited
very little animation. In prices no very material
changes have occurred, though some articles of
Western Produce are declining, and the marke,
generally in that department is excessively dull.
ToBACCo.--Since our last Saturdays report
very fair business has been done in the Tobacco
market, the sales of the week having reached fully
$500 hhds Of nearly all descriptions. The better
qualities (Which are scarce) are consequently
sought after, and taken up as fast as placed upon
the market, at very full rates. We continue
former quotations--say for ordinarily lots "a,
a 81 and a AZ cents, for X, seconds and firsts;
common lots 81, 81 and Al; fine lots and selec-
tons % n3, 80 4, and 4& cents per h.
Stock in houses and on shipboard "a 099 hhds.
FLoUR.--We have seldom seen the Flour
market duller than at the present time. Prices
have further given way, and we now quote SUPER
fine at 81 373 81 80 per BARREL though some
choice St. Louis brands may command n fraction
more
PoRK.-Some orders for the West Indies and
for the U. S. Army, have created q more active
demand for barrel Pork, and caused an advance.
We now quote clear $ll So mess $40 so, M. o.
SO 80 50 49, and prime 50 80 per bb No
bulk pork in market
| BAcON.--We have still to notice a dull market
for all descriptions of bacon. Our quotations for
sound merchantable qualities are as follows saw
for uncanvassed hams d cents, canvassed and
extra cured do. 6 g. sides IL; and shoulders
- p cents per ID. Inferior lots may be bough,
for less.
BAGGING AND BALE RorE. We continue former
quotations, which are for western bagging l24 a
ID cents cash, and IA Is on time Western
rope Al 81 cents cash. and 81 = 81 on time.
The demand is fair for this period of the season.
| GRAIN.--The supply of Corn is rather more
abundant, and the demand less active. We now
quote Shelled Corn in sacks at 49, 40 cents per
bushel. Corn in the ear has been sold at so a 81
cents per barrel. Oats are scarce, and have been
sold at 30 cents per bushel in bulk, and 80 So in
sacks. No Wheat for sale.

cimens of American silks, manufactured

gloves, crava,s, hankerchiefs, stockings.
scarfs, pieces in the web, for ladies dresses
of different colors besides numerous other
articles, all of which have an admirable
texture, and appear to be of highly dura-
bic quality. Mr.. G.. states that his enter
prise has thus far proved successful, even
beyond his most sanguine expectations.
Besides the factory, which employs about
fifty hands on an average, he has a large
Mulberry grove and an extensive cocoone.
ry, whereby he is enabled to raise consid.
cradle portion of the worms that supply
the raw material. 1t is several years since
this enterprise was undertaken by Mr..
Gill, and at present he has invested in il a.
bout thirty thousand dollars, which yields,
as he states, a very handsome equivalent.
Having given much attention TO the bust.
ness in its various branches, he has also
had an opportunity of discovering the best
manner of cultivating the worm; to &C.
complish which, ventilating apparatus has
been invented by aim to facilitate the worm
in feeding, found to be of great service. 1t
is simple in construction, saves much labor,
and is accounted highly valuable i'm

think those noticed here are conclusive
