MoRE INDIAN FIGnTiSG-The St. Louis
New Era Of the 23d contains long letter from
Fort Mann, dated the 2sth Of July, giving a
very different account Of the battle with the
Camanches on the Cimarone, the substance OF
an official report of which, from Captain Griffin,
we published some time ago. According 10
this account the Indians escaped without loss
beyond one man, through the bad Management,
of Captain Griffin, who insisted on the cannon
being fred at too great a distance, and who
recalled his men just as they were beginning
to make successful pursuit.
The same letter gives an account of another
subsequent affair with small body of Pawnees
by detachment under Captain Jones, also or
the Cimarone. The writer says that 81 of the
Indians were found dead after the fight, and
several othels were believed to have been xii.
led or wounded. Five of the whites were
badly wounded with arrows.
ltitis not impertlnen. we should like to know
from the Government, or its organ, what is the
cause, occasion or object ofthis slaughter among
the red skins. 1t seems to be of miscellane-
Gus and not very well defined character. Are

SIsGuLAR CASE AT WALrHAM.-Thcre has
been, and is now, considerable excitement in
Waltham, occasioned by the following facts -
A young lady in that town was taken sick re-
Gently, and during her illness dreamed, three
nights in succession, that she should 60 into
trance, and that her friends, thinking her dead
would undertake to bury her body, but that
as it was being placed in the the tomb, symp-
toms Of hte would induce them to desst, and
that che would finally be restored Last Mon
day morning she ceased to breathe, since which
time none Of the appearances usually seen up
on the dead have occurred. The limbs are not
rigid, but as pliable as in life. No sign of
modification has appeared. and the flesh has
not the cold and hard feeling that follows death.
The attending physicion has pronounced her
dead, but the family resolve upon not burying
till decay commences. A consultation of ply
slcians was to be held this day and attempt
made to restore life. Chelsea Pioneer, 25th.
