News YsoM SALT Murder By
the Ind,ans.-Major r. H. Woodward
informs Us, says the State Journal, that
he has just conversed with Mr.. Turner,
who arrived in this city last night from
Carson Valley, who conveys TO him the
intelligence Of the murder Of Maj. A.
Woodward, mail contractor. and party,
by the Indians. Major Woodward left
this city in the early part Of November
with the mail, and - no tidings had
been received of him, his friends have
been for some time uneasy for his safety
The last that Was seen Of him was in
thousand Spring Valley, near Goose
creek, by the returning mail carriers
On the 23d Of May . train Of six wagons
arrived at Carson Valley, who bring the
intelligence that no tidings had been
received of him or any Of his party at
Salt Lake up to the time Of their de-
parture, which was some months after
the Major should have arrived there.
There can be no doubt that he and hi.
party have fallen victims to the trea-
cherry Of the merciless savage. The
following circumstantial evidence leaves
no question whatever in regard to the
fact.
The party which left this city in De-
cembsr, q month afterwards, reached
Salt Lake without animals or food, being
robbed BY the Indians and narrowly es-
Gaping with their lives. They travelled
ia that condition four days. Several
Indians were seen in Salt Lake city
during the winter with $50 pieces, a
number Of which Major w. had with
him, and also it is said, in Carson Valley
On the Humboldt the wagon train above
mentioned found Q mule which from tht
description Of it, no doubt belonged u
Major w. These facts leave no doub
Of the murder Of the whole party.

SHOOTING AFrAIs.-A rencontre took
place last night, says the Transcript Of
the Sd, in the FL Dorado building, be.
tween Alexander McAllister, and Thos.
Moore, the former being the assailing
party. Several pistol shots were dis
charged, two or three Of which took
effect in McAllister's person, inAicting
mortal wounds. One or two others, who
were merely spectators Of the scene,
were wounded by some random shots.
MIR. Rueben Rsines was shot in the
hand, while endeavoring to put q stop
to the ARRAY. The affair produced a
great sensation, rendering it difficult
to ascertain correct statement Of the
facts which gave rise to the horrid trans
action. There appears to have been an
old grudge against Moore on the part
Of McAllistef, the nature Of which we
could not learn; and he sought redres.
in mortal combat, under such circum-
stances as to endanger the lives of a
large number Of people. McAllis.er
expired during the night.

make up issue not warrantedby the state of facts
and that issue happens to be the same upon which
the Abotionists are waging their war. They allege
that to receive and lay upon the table, without read
ing printing, is equivalent to the rejection of petit
lions. WHY SHOULD NOT THAT COURSE
BE TAKEN WITH THEM? HAS THERE
TATION IN CONGRESS AND OUT OF 1T :
Has not time enough been wasted The same Pc
ttions. in substance, have been presented year alter
year and session afte: session. During the last Con-
gress they made subject of special reference
and report. Their contents familiar as household
words. The mind of every member is definitely
made up upon the question they involve. Argument
has been exhausted again and again. And what is
now demanded Why, not only that you shall re-
ceive petitions. but that you shall take particular
with them, which is in accordance with the
views of these gentlemen, who, not satisfied with the
exercise of their own rights assume the prerogauve
Of sitting in judgment, and determining what are your
duties.
The coincidence upon this point between one Por-
ton of the political press in New England and the
abolition press proper just at present. Is truly re-
markabe: the same arguments, the same opProbious
epithets applied to the members of both Houses OF
Congress from that section of the Union, who OPP
pose any action upon this subject. For instance the
delegation in the other House, from the State which
have the honor, in part, to represent here, are
charged by the Abolition press with having denied
the right of petition and the thing 10 reiterated
by the political press. in the face of their votes upon
the direct question during the present session 1t IS
notorious that the question of receiving petitions up
this subject has been taken in both Houses, and
decided afiirmatively by overwhelming majorities;
and yet there is perseverng and systematic attempt
on the part of the political as well as the Abolition
press give the impression that the right Of petition
is denied. have already detained the Senate long
er than intended, and will not pursue the subject
further than add that he has turned over the pages
of history to little purpose. who would not regard
with unqualified horror the connection OF religious
bigotry with political power and to warn gentlemen

EE MIR. Graham's letter to the Statesville Mass
Meeting is the smallest specimen of eectioneering
which we have of late witnessed General Scott
looms on the stump out West, and gives the le''
direct to anonymous assailants, and no one is
greatly surprised but better things than election
eering epstles in his own tehalf were expected of
Mr.. Graham
Mr.. Graham goes out of his way, in this letter,
to assail James X. Polk. He endeavors to leave
the impression without saying in so many words,
that Mr., Polk approved the Wilmot Proviso in
signing the Oregon bill Mr.. Graham we'll knows
that Mr.. Polk signed that bill in accordance with
the principles of the Missouri line, and that he
would not have signed it, as he distinctly stated in
his message, if the prohibition had extended to
Slavery South of that line But Mr.. Folks cri ne
in Mr.. Graham's eyes, was his Democracy; that is
the reason why he treated him with so much cool
ness when he visited his native State in l847,
while Mr. Graham was Governor; and that is now
the secret of this ungenerous and uncalled for at
tack upon his character.
Cold, selfish, ambitious Mr.. Graham aoarms only
IN has Read his Statesvlle epistle he
is almost eloquent for Scott, and, of course, for
Graham-for every vote for Scott is a vote for Ora
ham. But Mr.. Graham will fnd if he has not
felt it already, that he was sadly in his own light
when he betrayed his friend Fillmore and united
his fortunes with those of the Seward crew. The
I'd of November will teach him lesson long to be
remembered. That day will put dead stop
alike to Gen. SCOTS muddy" stump speeches,
and to Mr.. Graham's very enthusiastic epistles in
favor OF his own elevation to the Vice Presidency
