THE FOLDING LIFE PREsERyER.-We have
before u.s. says the New York Commercial model of the
Thompsons Life Preserving Seat which, at this sad
junoture should command the attention of ali ship
owners commanders 1t to us to be the most
simple and certain life preserver that have seen
or read of 1t is seat STOOL which in few moments
be made to form cradle for the support of an ind

at four hundred pounds and enables its occupant to
swim either forward backward with the head above

of withsandng exposure to shocks and punctures Its
adaptation the condition of the occupant when in the
water is such that it would be mpractieabe for him

This model has shown to many experienced ship
owners and ship masters all of whom accord their need
OF praise. -
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR-The Red River Repub-
Ican the 2Sh ult has long account of the mysteri
disappearance of a man named Dawson, at Little
River who, it was supposed had been murdered and
sumed to ashes by William Garner The parties had
previously had difficulty about some business matter
and when Dawson disappeared the suspicious of the
neghbors aroused and they proceeded to exami
nation of the affair. They discovered marks of blood
about Dawson shanty and by, along the side of
pine tree the of what seemed to have been
large fire in the embers of which found kind

A coroner's jury was then empaneled, and, acconpa-

found blood the shanty and searching the
binders found hundreds of pieces of BONES fairly burnt
to coke, not one of them measuring than two
three inches any way, But Dr. Price gave it his

warrant was issued for the arrest of Garner but 1t
was supposed he had fled to Texas.
EXPEDITION FOR THE DIFFERENTIATION or Hos
| TILE INDIAN TRIBEs.-The American public is
| yet unaware of the fact that an expedition is to
| be organized during the ensuing winter, the
| object Of which is to wage war Of extermina-
| ton against the Sioux Indians, and other hos
| tile tribes who have been engaged in the late
outrages on the plains. This force is to be con-
centrated upon Jefferson barracks early in the
spring, so that active operations may commence
without delay, as soon as the weather will per-
nit. The force will consist of the Second regi-
ment of infantry, three companies of the Second
dragons, and one section Of the light battery,
now stationed at Baton Rouge-the whole under
command of Col Sumner. This force will also
be joined by all the men who can be spared
frem the garrisons of the forts which are scat
tered through that region, and there is a pro-
liability that at least two companies of mounted
| volunteers, composed Of frontier men, will be
added to the command. After they have accom-
| plished their duties in that region, they will
turn their attention to the Camanches, and will
act in cooperation with the forces now stationed
upon the frontiers of Texas. The object of this
movement is not merely for the purpose of re-
dueine the Indians to an observance of the stipu-
lations of former treaties, but to exterminate all
the warriors of tribes who have hitherto an
noyed the emigrants, and to reduce the residue
to complete obedience to the laws of the United
| States.
| The late massacre near Fort Laramie has been
the cause of such vigorous movement upon the
part of the authorities, and it is in consequence
of this projected expedition that no step has yet
been taken to punish the offenders. tits in this
manner alone that the Government need ever
expect to be rid of the trouble and expense OF
endeayoring to keep these barharians in any
thing approaching subsection; we say endea-
voring, because the thing itself has never yet
been done. 1t would be wise TO increase the
mounted volunteer force to seven or eight hun
bred men, organized in separate detachments O
one hundred and fifty each, SO disposed that thu
Indians might be attacked simultaneously at al
points and hemmed in at once The regular
force now stationed at different points on til,
r head waters of Nueces, and on the Rio Grana
above Ell Paso, is thought sufficient to intercep
the Camanches should they endeavor to escap
: into the northern territories of Mexico TIL
measures become more evidently necessary whel
t we consider that the Pacific Railroad is to b
built through the Camanehe region, to do which
nn,,er existing circumstances, will be total.
