RAILROAD ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.-We
learn. through passengers arrived this morning
from Boston, that about o'clock last evening as
the steamboat train from the East, ON the Boston
and Worcester railroad, was crossing the Wilkin-
son bridge, between Webster and Baskerville, the
bridge broke down, and one passenger car and the
baggage crates were precipitated through the
opening.
One Of the brakemen, named John Kearney, was
instantly killed. and several OF the passengers We're
more or less injured. OF the latter, we learn the
names of Mr.. Richardson, Mr.. Jones, Mr.. Farm
ham, merchant of Philadelphia and Mr. Doyle,
Adams & Co. rs express messenger With the ex.
ception Of Mr.. Doyle, all were enabled to proceed
on their journey Mr.. r., and the body of the
brakeman, were temporarily placed in the care of
of the residents in the vicinity of the place OF
disaster.
1t is stated that the bridge has been known to be
weak for some time past, and that the engineer,
upon hearing the timbers crack, Immediately
opened all the valves of the locomotive, and with
the fireman, jumped from the engine. The tender
and engine crossed in safety, and became discon-
nected with the cars by the breaking of the coup

On Thursday, about noon, says the ST. Paups
(Minnesota) Pioneer of March 9Th, dog train
Cakes, of La pointe. they came by way of Fond
du Lac and the St. Croix valley, and made the trip
through--a distance Of over three hundred miles
in less than eight days. Their animals are well
indebted to Mr.. Cakes for the following important
news from the lake country. He informs us, in
addition, that they have had very mild winter in
that region:
Messrs. EDIToRs: II news from our northern re-
gious can in any way interest any OF your readers
you are heartily welcome TO the folowing:-A few
weeks ago, our quiet place LA Pointe, Lake Supe
rior) was quite a scene of excitement The Indian
agent at La Pointe had received a communication
from the Commissioners of Indian Affairs, stating
that the agency would be removed from La Pointe
to some point the Mississippi; and that the In
dams would be required to remove from the ceded
lands to lands Of their own further north and west
The Indians appear much dissatisfied at this.
They say they understood at the time Of the treaty,
CS42,) that Government would not require them
to move for long time, or, was expressed, long
after the present generation had passed away.
They say, also, that if they to be removed, it
will have to be done by force; aud that II the Gov
eminent has deceived them, they never VIII listen
to any other proposal from them The truth OF
the matter is that at the time the treaty was made,
the words contained in the written treaty, which
obliges them to at the pleasure OF the Pres
dent were in the presence OF many respectable W.T.
nesses, explained meaning 'that, on account OF
the poor soil, the distance, &C., the Americans
would not want these lands for long time; that
the President would at least allow those now living
to remain on their old hunting grounds" and un-
der that impression they signed the treaty Their
attachment to their native land is very great; and
except some conciatory measures are taken, we
may reasonably expect trouble.
We left La Pointe with our dogs and sled, weigh.
ing about three hundred pounds, on the 18th OF
February; passed by Fond 'du Lac, from thence to
Kettle river until where it strikes the st. Croix;
came down that river to Saltwater, and arrived
here about noon the eighth day out. Snow very
deep-very little ice in Lake Superior.
The country between Fond du Lac and Kettle
river bids fair for the making of good road with
very little expense. 1t will open important sec
ton of country to the people Of the Territory par
ticularly if the northern shore of Lake Superior
was purchased from the Indians. Large and profit
able fisheries be established there, and one Of
the richest copper countries in the world would
open its wealth to the enterprise of our citizens
