miles down the river. One of the sights is thus
described:
'sWe saw hanging before one of the lodges n
fresh scalp taken within few weeks from one of
their natural foes-the Chippeways. 1t was hung
upon hoop, surrounded by eagle feathers, and
what was most strange, there also comb

The cases of Carvajal, Norton, and their COM
patriots, for violation of the neutrality laws, had
been removed to Galveston for trial.
On the 10th ultimo, Captain Granger, with a
rifle company, overlook party of Indians as they
were crossing to the Mexican side, on their return
from marauding expedition. Five Indians were
killed on the spot, some five or six wounded,
horses, arrows, bows, guns, blankets, &C., were
taken from them, and those who escaped swan

A murder committed on the night of the

name of Kennedy, on the person of Corporal
Riley, of Lieutenant Tilford s company of mount

Judge Lynch's court sentenced and hung.
Troops are continually arriving at the Mexican
towns on the frontier, and in such numbers we
have never before seen. Military encampments
are also being established at points the Rio

THE REPUBLIC.


The steamship Black Warrior, R. w. Shufeldt,
commander, arrived at New York on Saturday
from Mobile and Havana. She left the former
port the 9th instant, at noon, and the latter
the 18th, at half-past 8 a. m-making the passage
in four days and three hours.
lamentable accident occurred at Havana on
the 10th instant. A horse-race was to come Oft ON
the military Parade Ground, !" just outside the
city walls. For the accommodation OF the spec
tators, temporary seats erected, some OF thei
twenty feet high. Just as the Captain Henerai
entered, and the sports were about 10 coillliooe'
portion of the seats gave way Precipitathg some
five hundred persons below About forty OF MY
were either killed or wounded, comprising all ages
and sexes.
Three American sailors belonging to the barque
Jaspar (Which vessel recently mnded u cargo OF
slaves on the Island of Cuba) have been impris-
oned in the s'Moro.'' They say they shipped in
New York. and when the nature of the trade the
vessel was to be engaged in was made known to
them, which was after leaving New York, they
endeavored to get away from her, but were pre-
vented by the other part of the crew, consisting Of
Spanish and Portuguese, who threatened to take
their lives, and they were compelled to make the
voyage
The ship Lady Suffolk was before reported as
having, after landing large cargo of slaves, been
scuttled and sunk. This, it now appears, was
not the case as she went to of the small ports
on the south side Of the Island, where she was
taken possession of by the British man -ofwar brig
Daring.
The correspondent of the New York Journal Of
Commerce, writing from Havana on the 18th,
says:
81 should have mentioned in my advice of the
Sth instant that on the 4th Yankee strangers
were permitted to have decorous supper celebra-
ton at the Dominica A tablet displayed,
representing on one side General Washington,
and the flag of the Union affectionately inter-
folded with the Spanish, indicating the friendship
that subssted at the perous period of our history;
and the assistance which Spanish interest con-
strained of Spanish favor in our behalf. The re-
verse gave good portrait of the Queen. The
scene was pleasant and the whole appropriate for
the occasion.
