that the latest dispatches from Spain to the State
Department here, are to the effect that for the
moment nothing whatever can be done by the
American agents in Spain, and that the only
course to be pursued is to wait quietly for affairs
again to assume a settled aspect Then the set
tlement ofonr difficulties and the acquisition of
Cuba can be brought up again. This is probably
the truth, and is moreover in itself so obvious that
it might be safely asserted even by those who
know nothing OF the latest dispatches.

SLAUGHTER BY THE lNDIANs-A report reach
ed us yesterday, and from its source we fear it
may prove to be correct, that party of Indians
had attacked, some three or four DAYS previous
the rauche of Mr. Maxwell, on the Kayado. dis
tant about forty miles from Taos, and kiet. every
body living IN 1t, in all eight women, ten men,
and two or three children not leaving a soul to
bear witness to the terrible details The Indians,
it appears, must have crossed the mountains i'm
mediately after their fight with Lieut. Davidson,
and proceeded direct to the rancho and finding
it comparatively deienceess, they perpetrated the
inhuman act recorded above.

Death of Governor Burt.

We regret to see the death of this estimable gentle
man announced, which occurred in the Territory OF
Nebraska on the 18th inst. He had left his home in
Pendleton but q few weeks since to enter upon the
responsible duties of his Office as the first Governor Of
Nebraska.
Mr. Burt was highly esteemed for his many social
and excellent qualities both of public as well as a
private character and all unite in bestowins upon him
that praise which true merit and acknowledged worth
must always command. 20
AS member of the Legislature from Pendleton,
we believe he gave entire satisfaction and at time
he was editor of the Pendleton Messenger sterling
paper, which ne regret ceased a few years back.
Mr.. Burt received the appointment of Third Auditor
under the excellent administration Of President Pierce
the duties of which Office he discharged with ability
and fidelity until his promotion to the Governorshp Of
Nebraska How inscrutable to seems this sad dis.
pensation of an allwise Providence Another noble
man has fallen before the reaper who is last gathering
into his garner the old and young the exalted and
the lowly There are many who will mourn the loss
of Governor Burt in his native State

The Mail Question.

We are glad to see that the matter between the Post
Office Department and the South Carolina Railroad
Company in relation to the transportation ofthe Mails

in of the disagreement between the Post

community, in common with the people Of the South

in the regular transportation OF the malsevils in
comparison with which the amount in dispute between
the Department and the South Carolina Railroad Com
pany sinks into utter insignifcance
The Resolution was unanimously adopted, and in
pursuance thereof COL A. O. Andrews and Col. JAS II

Deserves Attention!

The Charleston Courier very properly calls the at

has become quite common aud one which, to say the
least of it, may do HARM We alude to the custom of
merchants traders &c getting up bills similar in ap

reasonable rates, &C. The Courier says, ave have

him in letter. making some enquiry relative to its
value The bill had the appearance at first sight, Of
genuine bankI note, and was good deal worn as if
frequently passed. but upon the least investigation the
discovery could be easily made that some vide auaIe
trader was using this circulating medium adver

bearer the amount of goods at the first opportunity he
could get and on the best terms.
The gentleman to whom the bin was sent remarked
that his customer was plain, honest and illiterate

Although there is less danger In large bills of this
character being passed of as money, and the occur

bic danger as in the noticed by the Courier where

ignorant and unwary. . 80
The practice should be declared illegal BY the Legs

Press ought to notice the subject.
