10 thus the first man who came by the direct route
from FL Paso to the Gulf coast, which trip he says
can easily be made in 20 days to that point. He
represents the country around Santa Fe as being
entirely overrun with hostile Indians. So bold
had they become, that party OF Apaches had en-
tered the corral of the U. s. troops stationed at
Don Elana, sixty miles abeve Ell Paso, and stolen
thirteen American horses under the very noses OF

celebrated trapyer and hunter, who had returned
in search of the scientific instruments and other
property lost by Col. Fremont, were murdered by
a band Of Utah Indians. Bent's Fort was be-
sieged by five or six hundred Indians, but as 1t
was well watered and provisioned,, no fears were
entertained for the inmates. Col. Washington

The whole way from Parras to Chihuahua the
country was devastated by the Indians and at the
latter place he was advised by the American resi-,
dents to take an escort, as several Mexlcans had
been SLAIN within few miles OF the town by the
Apaches. This he. refused to do, however,, and
although he was twice chased by armed bands of
Indians, he succeeded in getting through in safety

The Mexicans, he says, do not think OF leaving
their towns except in large caravans. Most OF
the ranches have been burned, and the stock
driven off, and the country Is almost destitute OF
mhabl ants.
The day before Mr.. Love left San Antonio, news
had been received there of several murders having
been committed in the vicinity of the town by
Indians; and General Harvey had sent out a party
of dragons in pursuit, with orders to take no

MURDERED BY HER HusBAND.--The Xena, Ohio,
correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, OF
the 23d inst, under date of the 2lst gives the fol-
lowing particulars of the murder of Mrs. Rams
bottom by her husband in the village OF Fairfield,
in that State:
" Yesterday evening about sunset, man named
Jesse Ramsbottom killed his wife IN Fairfield, in
this county He attacked her IN the house and cut
her throat horribly with razor. In this situation
che ran out, making trail of bloed as she ran,
pursued by the atrocious villain who struck at her
as she was falling, with hammer-some say in
fiicted blow. Her screams in the house having
attracted attention, she was seen as she ran out,
and persons fastened to the rescue but too late to
save her. The murderer retreated into the house
when he saw persons approaching, and crawled UNI
der the bed. When dragged out, it was found he
had made feeble attempt TO cut his own throat,
having made two slight gashes; but like Jonas
Chuzzewitt, he had not the nerve. The reasons
he assigned for not completing the job, were, no
doubt, very satisfactory to his own mind. One
