A Government express arrived at San Antonio
from FL Paso on the 10th ult., bringing news of
more outrages committed by the Apachss and Ca

east of Preside; seven or eight Americans had
been massacred on the Giia.
A band ofIndans attacked the party with which
Judge Robinson was travelling, between the Pecos
and FL Paso; the judge and his family escaped
without injury and had arrived at Ell Paso but they
are indebted entirely to the prompt and humane
conduct of Captain Johns, of the army, who was
moving on the same route. The judges oxen were
all killed by the Indians. Mr.. Brush, who brings
this intelligence, was prevented by the Indians from
returning by the Ell Paso road, and came down on
the Mexican side and crossed at Eagle Pass. He
represents the ravages of the Indians to have been
dreadful through the whole course of his route on
the Mexican side.
Mr. Nugent, correspondent of the New York

Pitkin, David Stevens, and John II. Cornell Com
missoners Of the American Union Boot, Shoe, and

twenty-five dollars each; that steps be taken 10
raise contingent fund Of from ten to twenty thou
sand dollars for the expenses of organization and
the purchase of machinery, stock, &c, TO start two
three establishments under the direction Of the
commissioners.
The report states that boots and shoes annu-
ally manufactured in Massachusetts, TO the amount
of eighteen millions of dollars. Those are pegged,
and 'thc first man who pegged a shoe in this or
any other country" Joseph Walker, of Hopkinton,
Massachusetts, Is yet alive. The demand for these
articles, says the report exceeds the supply Frauds
are committed in substituting wood or shingles for
leather, in the construction Of cheap shoes for the
New York market, and in some parts Of the shoe
untanned leather is often used. The quarters of

The DOUBLE EAoLE.-We are indebted to Ad-

surprised that any should have spoken in praise
of It's beauty. II is the ugliest gold coin we re-
member TO have seen, if we except those from the
"private mints" in California. Both in design and
execution it is disgraceful to the country. The die
is miserably cut and the eagle looks like bad
imitation of schoolboy's first attempt at drawing
the bird. We hope this atrocious die viii be bro
ken forthwith, and that some competent artist will
be employed TO design and execute a decent
twenty dollar piece, the size of which affords a
great opportunity for the display Of superior work
