Gus intelligence Of hostile attacks having

The leader, of the instruction was a
chief called Grando, who, with mum.
Der OF his followers, on the 5tli of Nov,
sacked and burnt the new village of
Fishiown, and murdered nine of its in
habitanls. He afterwards induced sew
eral other chiefs to join him, and on the
] 5,h of the same month made a desper-
ate attack on Dassa Cove. But here
The savages were repulsed, without any
loss of life on che part of the defenders
of the town. Since then o further dep.
relations have been committed, and the
rebel chiefs appeared disposed to make
peace. l, would seem, however, that.
before treating with them, tho public au-
thorites of Liberia contemplated, with a
view 70 preventing the recurrence OF
such disturbances, iniliciing upon them
some just punishment for their past
lreachery. These hostliles are suppo-
sed to have been ins,igated by few for
eign traders, and President Roberts has
issued a proclamation interdic,ng all
trade and intercourse with the rebellious
bands.

The Execution Of lAniclxcr.

ID. H.es HHs 1T BUFFALO, Jan. ~.
The execution of Knickerbocker, for
the murder of Carl Harkner on January
20th, Is 81, took place in the jail- yard
of This city to-day. He was visited at
an early hour by Rev. Dr.. Thompson.
Rev. DIR. Chester, Rev. Mr.. Roby, and
several other Ministers. His appearance
was easy--he entered with energy into
religious services, and seemed 10 give
much attention thereto. aa e
At O'Clock about 100 persons had
assembled TO witness the execution; the
scaflold was rough frame Of timber
with a floor about 10 feet from the
ground. The drop was opposite the Jail,
kept up by a rope drawn tightly through
block aud made fast TO one of the poles
lit fell upon the cutting of the rope.

rived at 30 minutes to 10, and delivered
the Sheriff the wriis. p atgs
The culpri, was accompanied to the
| seafold by the Rev. Mr.. Chester. Sheriff
Farnham and Deputy Sherifls Herberts,
and j. Pierce. A-
After speaking for few seconds with
DR.. Chester, he faced the crowd beneath
him and spoke about as follows:
IL am innocent You are about hang
ing man up;usliy. If the governor
knew what know myself, he would
not have hestated TO commute my SEN
tence, if not to have pardoned me. /
cannot account for the murder, except
that lost my presence of mind. am
about TO suffer unjas,ly." gaf
| Here Knickerbocker turned to those
by his side: IL feelit is so, this is the
truth. G} 8a ta
He then continued addressing the peo-
pie:
s.God will = =" Here he fall
tered,-(rcsl lost in transmitting 81 re-
turn my ,hanks for the kindness i have
received from Mr.. Clark, jailor. and Rev.

He spoke few minutes longer; his
remarks il was found impossible to OBJ.
tain. IA aaug
The District Attorney, in front Of the
scaffold. read the certificate and warrant
for the execution in clear voice. 9ii
Towards the last his countenance un-
derwetia marked change; his lips were
very white; he exhibited visible marks
Of violent mental agitation.
At the conclusion Of these things, he
took last look around, the cap was
drawn over his eyes, and he was launch
ed iato elernisy--at IL minutes past IL
O'Clock the .lrop fell. His neck appear

/, rrou, SANTA Re.


On Saturday evening we had the pleas
uie of shaking the hand of Mr.. +. I'll.
Aubrey, the justly distinguished Santa
Fe trader. Some days ago we announc-
ed his arrival at Independence. He left
Santa Fee, in company with Lieuis. Field
and Ward, u. S. A., on the 3lsl of Dec,
and arrived at Independence on the 9Th
inst. In his "trip in, he took a new route.
ever vatying from the one adopted on his
last visit to the States. Very intense cold
was experienced on the route, the Their
moneier standing on several occasions
twenty degrees below zero. At the Ar
kansas river, the party crossed on the
ice to an island, where they compelled to
encamr. During the night the river, in
most of its channels, froze to the bottom,
and the next morning the men cut through
two leet of solid ice without finding wa

At several places, they encountered
snow to the depth of Is inches. Not
withstanding the severity OF the cold,

having made the trip ont and in wilhou.
any loss of stock. He is certainly the
most daring traveller on the prairies. No
season or weather stops him; and whilst
he leads large caravans, he always is sue
cessful, both in time and safety. He
brought in with him large amount of
specie, and will return about the LIST OF
March.
On the route, the party was joined by a
Mr.. Mckenzie, and at the Rock Greek,
near the Round Mound, in some alterca-
lion, Mckenzie shot the servant of Mr..
Aubrey, killing him on the spot. He
then made his escape, and has not since
been heard from.
About the time the party came in, two
Cav Indians were killed, ina drunken
row, in their own nation, about fifteen
miles below Council Grove. .a g
Mr.. Aubrey is now satisfied that an
important change can be made in the
route TO Santa Fe, by travelling south of
the old road, from Red river to Rock
creek, and north from thence to Turkey
creek. A considerable saving can be
made in distance, and more can be saved
in the convenience of travelling. BY this
route, wood, water and grass can be had
at stages of about eighteen miles. whilst
over the old route there is distance OF
one hundred and fifty miles without tim
Der and fifty miles without water. Mr..
Aubrey has travelled over all thus country,
and knows it intimately. The crossings
on the new route are easy. The Cine
rome river cannot be crossed between its
mouth and head, but a road can be had
by going between its head and the Big
Timbers.-Mo. Republican, offhe l7th.

The contrac, is large one, but the

JEwELRY.--A writer who has been
permitted to look at the rich things in a
store in New York, says that the propri.
e,ors informed him that they sometimes
sell jewelry worth s25. 1000. Sets worth
$50 or $4,000 are more frequently
sold; while $4,000 to $4,000 is often
paid for necklace, bracelet, breastpm
aud ear Jewels. He saw some beautiful
$1,000 sets OF jewelry. and some ladies'
watches, for which the modest sum OF
5000 each was asked; also rings and
breastpins at the low price of $4,000
each. Gold card-cases, set with dia-
monds, were to be held at $500. They
often sell from Eve TO slen thousand dollars
worth of bridal presents per week. No
wonder we hear of frequent and large
