ity river, on the 25ih ult. Guns were
heard. and neighbor going to ascer.

his view too appalling for description.
MIR. Monsey and MIR. Jamison, an in.
mate of the family, lay dead in The
camp, both having been first shot, then
tomahawked and scaIped; and shor,
distance from the camp lay the mutt.
lated corpse Of Mrs. Monsey mangled
in most shocking manner-ihe skin
and flesh almost entirely stripped from
the body-one limb torn oH-the up
per part of the skull broken of-the
brains taken out, and not particle Of
the face remaining. The two sons Of
Mr.. Monsey, who were also at the
camp, are missing; and although dlli-
gent search was made, they were not
found. One was about sixteen years
old, and the other sbou, twelve; whe,h-

In Necogdoches county, on the eel
February, Mexican named Warner.
The Mexican having gun shot and
badly wounded Warner, he then fled,
bu, being holly pursued by the son OF
Warner, drew pistol and shot him
dead at his feet. In the meantime, the
negroes OF Warner took the alarm, pur-
sued Gonzales, captured him, and
brought him back IL where Warner lay,
wounded MORALLY, bnt yet able 10
move. Warner Immediately drew his
knife and cut the hamstrings of the
Mexican. After thus disabling him he
placed gun to the head Of Gonzales
and blew out his brains. Thus, in less
time than it takes to relate the particu.
lars Of this tragical occurrence, were
three persons deprived Of lile-Varner
having expired almost Immediately al
ter killing the Mexican. What a stale
of society!
