The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-11-24

.yentureus spirits engaged in this affair to-,
equip and proceed to,Sonora by land and
water, insufficient force (say ,oO0strongJg
to protect themselves under any eircum-
stances. The land party were to take a.
sufficient number of horses to provide the,
whole party with servieeable animals
When fully prepared, they were to enter
the country for the purpose of prospecting
the gold and silver mines, with the osten-a
slble object of settling there and working
them. In the faithful discharge of the
laudaole enterprise they naturally eSpec-
ted to be nsulted by the natives, or per-
haps even attacked by Mexican troops if
any such should happen in their way; and
Of course they would be constrained to,
revenge the insult OF defend their lives as
the case might be. They expected to
conquer in the first encounter, take pos-4
session of few Of the principal points,
with the expectation that the inhabitants
and (still better pernaps.th troops would
make show of resistance, whereupon
they would proclaimait an attempt to ex-l
terminate them, declsre themselves mas
ters OF the country and make open war on
all who dare resist their authority A
State government would at once be orz
ganized, (the constitution being already
made, agreed to and in theirpockets, and
the principal officers chosen) and the, flag
OF the new republic, (also made of most
enchanting colors, run to the top. of the
flagstaff of the tent which might have
the honor of being considered the capitol
of the newborn nation. ,... s97..sf 81. s1ig.,
The funds to carry on the government
are already provided. sixty-fve millions
OF paper currency, for the faithful re-
demption OF which the public lands and
precious mines, together with the faith of.
the nation, is already pledged, and which.
is said to be already printed on beautiful
bank paper) would be at once issued to-
the principal parties to the enterprise in,
proportion, and according to the terms
agreed upon. s IL as.f ~
The seizing of the brig Arrow, which
was to carry down the munitions of the
revolutionists, may have, for the time, or
perhantly, defeated the enterprise .@s
SURPRISE AND MAssAcRE.-The. brig
Resa, which left Sidney for Tahiti, while
at Halls Island taking water on board,
was the theater Of a bloody tragedy. On
the Esd April, shortly after breakfast.
while the second mate was below stow
ing the casks in the hold, he heard large
number Of natives on deck; he came up
/ and found at least one hundred and fifty
men from the north end Of Halls Island,
. apparently disposed to take possession of
the ship. The captain was also on deck;
he Mr. Maiden took several clubs from
| the savages. He then went to the hatch
to speak to the man left in the hold, when
he received a severe blow on the head
with club, which knocked him down the
hatchway. While in the act of falling,
he saw two natives attacking VIM. Sheen,
cooper. The war-whoop was then raised,
and Maiden, recovering from the effects of
his blow, directed the man in the hold to
make for the cabin, there being door,
through the bulkhead, with view to find
amunition-a keg of powder and parcel
of shot.
Having now loaded some muskcts, they
shot five natives from the cabin sky light,
and Maiden, standing at the foot of the
companion ladder, and seeing the Kings
son passing on the deck, run him through
with a bayonet. They then left the cabin
and attempted to rush the natives over4i
board; Two natives were struggling with
the captain, one with the cooks hatchet
and the other with piece of sharpened
iron, like a long knife. Maiden killed one
of them with his bayonet. In falling,
both in the struggle went down the hatch
/ p as
way together, until the savage was overs
powered and killed. Maiden afterwards
shot another native. By this. time many
of the natives were driven overheard. Af=
ter getting theyessel under weigh, Maiden
found that the Captain, boatswain, COOPER,
and one Of the seamen, were lying dead on
the deck, their bodies being mutilated in a
horrible manner by wounds from the
hatchets and clubs. The steward, also,s
was lying on deck, almost dead. He then
made sail with the forces left him, and.
reached Sidney in sad condition. sgsa
