One Hundred and Fifth India,ss
Killcd.-We learn of the killing of nearly
one hundred and fifty Indians by comma.
ny of citizens of Trinity county, under the
command of Sheriff Dixon, recently Itwas
supposed that these were the Indians who
murdered Mr.. Anderson short time since,
The following is the account of the affair
The company that went in pursuit of
the Indians returned to-day, having been
absent just week They had little diff.
Guilty in following the trail. The foot prints

offwith them, together with portions of clothes
of the deceased, which they had found scat

nised by his son who was in the companv
showed unmistakable signs of the path Of
those whom they were pursuing. But it
was necessary to proceed with great caution
in order not to alarm the savages, and ac-
cordingly the party generally laid by during
the day sending spies ahead and travelling
by night. On Thursday afternoon, the 22d
ultimo, the scouts discovered the rancheria
in small valley at the base of three moun-
tains on the South Fork of the Trinity river.
AT midnight the company started from their
encampment, Captain Dixon having divided
his force into three parties, so as to come
upon the Indians from different quarters
and surround them. When day broke all
parties were in the desired position, and on
the signal being given the attack was CON-
menced. Each rife marked its victim with
unerring precision; the pistol and the knife
completed the work of destruction and re-
venge, and in few brief moments all was
over Of the one hundred and fifty Indi-
ans that constituted the rancheria only two
or three escaped, and those were supposed
to be dangerously ly wounded so that proba-
bly, not one of those engaged in the murder
of the unfortunate Anderson now remains
alive. Men, women and children all shared
the same fate; none were spared, except
one woman and two children who were
brought back prisoners

LOLA MoNTEz-The n. Y. Herald gives
the following graphic picture of the career
of this danSeuse in Western New York:
During her visit to Western New York
she has performed eleven times, danced
thirty pas, made eight speeches, smoked
ffty-fve cigarettes, delighted ten towns, as
tonished ten railroad conductors, blown up
six hotel keepers for bad fare, denounced
the Jesuits forty times, quarreled with two
managers, and lectured four love-stricken
youths. She appears tonight at the Broad
way, and will soon play in the new piece
which has been written for her, in which the
good King of Bavaria, pair of Jesuits,
Kossuth, and three red republicans, will all
be put upon the stage in full character
None of the wandering princes, counts, bar
onets, or chevaliers from Europe, with heavy
moustaches, need call upon her. She keeps
stout Irishman, six feet six, at her door,
with orders to knock down all such visitors
at their first appearance-price fifty cents a
piece, for every clear case Of deliverance.

A writer in the Gazette & Democrat, %
having suggested I. B. Hanly, of Phillips

the "Arkansaw Traveller" in noticing the
suggestion, thus speaks of one of our citi-

says:
Among those every way worthy and we'll
qualified for that import;.::... office, we know
that the people Of Sout!; Arkansas regard
Gen. G. ID. RoYsToN, of Hampstead coun-
ty, as most prominent. Gen. RoYsToN has
long been recognized as one of the ablest
and most trustworthy of our prominent citi-
zens; and if the Legislature shall have in
view the good Of our State, in their choice
of Senator we know of no gentleman bet
ter qualified for the duties of the office than
Gen. RoYsroN. We regard him above all,
as the man best calculated for the present
state of our State affairs.

CAL1roRN1A,-Both the South and the
North are disappointed in regard to the
course of California on the subject of slavery.
When she was admitted into the Union with
her constitution excluding slavery, the North
chuckled and the South growled. But her
course thus far has been more in unison
with Southern sentiment, than that of any
other non-slaveholding State. Her Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress are
unanimous for the Compromise in all its
parts. Her Legislature has just passed an
act, authorizing the owners of slaves brought
within her limits prior to the date of her
admission into the Union, Sept. 8, 1850, to
reclaim them for the purpose of removing
them frora the State. In short, the South
has no reason to be alarmed, nor the North
to chuckle, on account of the admission of
California into the Union

The Republic says Pierce is an "old

tinguished himself in the House of Repre-
sentatives by his hostility to the river and
harbor improvements That he voted against
all such bills that were subsequently approx
ed by Gen. jackson, including one for the
Delaware Breakwater and the Cumberland
road In the Senate he voted against all
harbor and railroad bills, even against 4
grant of land to the Indiana railroad, that
offered to carry the mails free for recon-
pense. His greatest speech in the Senate
was against the relief of the widow of Gen.

qualify him to administer the affairs of Gov

RAILROAD FROM ST.. LOUIS TO New On

RAILROAD FROM ST.. LOUIS TO New Or
LEANs.-We copy to-day, from the "West-

Louis, an article proposing and advocating
project for Railroad from St. Louis to
New Orleans, via Helena, thence South un-
til it intersects the Railroad proposed to be
constructed from New Orleans to Holly
Springs, Mississippi. The route laid down
in the article to which we refer, we are in
formed by letter from St. Louis to gen.
tleman in this place, has, upon consultation
with many of the most influential Internal
Improvement men in New Orleans, been
modified. so as to pass some distance North
of Helena, towards Little Rock, thence
South, to Monroe and Alexandria, La, and
On to Opelousas to connect at that point
with the proposed route from New Orleans.
An article suggesting the modification, will
appear in the next number of the journal
& Civilian" and a committee, We are in
formed, will attend the Internal Improve
ment Convention, to be held at Little Rock,
on the 4th of July next, for the purpose of
placing the project before that body.
Although the route here proposed, would
be of little benefit to the valley of upper
Red river, we would be pleased to see the
project succeed-at any rate no harm could
result from its being placed before the Con-
vention. The route as proposed to be modi-
fed would pass through Jefferson, Bradley,
and Calhoun counties, east of the Ouachita
river, and would obviate the necessity Of the
proposed road to Gaines Landing, as it
would place those counties most Immediately
interested in that route, in more direct COM
munication with New Orleans.
Of all the routes yet projected, we adhere
firmly to that which it is proposed to termi-
nate at Memphis as being decidedly the
best. most practicable and national. With
this route secured, we would like to see 9TH
ers trayersing every section Of our State,
opening avenues of communication with the
North, South, East and West.
