Ttro White Men and Thirteen Chinamen
Murdered by the Indians.-We find the
following account of horrible tragedy
committed by the Indians in the Sacra.
Inento journal: Two white men, one
named Guild, the other Ingalls,, while on
prospecting tour, in company with
nineteen Cinnamon, were murdered on
McClond's river, twenty miles east of
Pittsburg, Shasta county, by the Indians.
They were camped, and fifteen Indians
came into the camp. The white mems
guns were stacked near them. The In
dams appeared friendly at first, tut at a
word from the chief, they seized the guns
and ran with them. Ingalls, seized club
and struck the hindmost Indian, and
knocked him down. The Indians imme-
diately commenced firing on Guild and
Ingalls,, and also at the Cinnamon. A
party started out Immediately, and found
the body of Ingalls,; one arm cut off at the
elbow, and his head smashed up horribly
with stones. They also found the bodies
of thirteen Cinnamon; three had their
arms cut off, and all their heads had been
smashed in with stones. The body OF
Guild could not be found. They saw
tracks, which they supposed to be his,
leading down to the river, also blood
trailing along. They also saw marks of
an axe, which they supposed he fought
with, and they supposed he jumped into
the nver. From appearances, some of
the Cinnamon had fought like tigers, the
ground around them being completely
trodden down. -sI's

Distlessing Accident

=, Last Saturday week. gentleman named Z. j.
meany, residing at "Manakin town." ON james
River Canal, some twelve miles from Richmond,
was accidentally shot by his own son, and died
from the effects of the wounds ON Saturday last.
Inc circumstances connected with this sad affair
are these; Young Meany was playing with the
gun IN an upper room, when his father suddenly
entered. The lad had raised the hammer of
the lock- and was at that moment 50 holding it
when, seeing his father, and perhaps fearing
his dspleasure, he suddenly let the hammer spring
upon the cap, which unfortunately exploded, and
Mr.. NJ, received heavy load of shot in his face
producing death in one week afterwards.
Mr. Meany was an enteprising business man,
and at the time of the sad accident, was prepar-
paridg to start daily line of packets on the Ca
nal, between Richmond and New Canton. He
was well known to many of our merchants and
other citizens, and highly respected by a
large circle of acquaintanees.-R. Dispatch.

CLEVELAND LOCOMOTIVES. Nearly all of our
exchanges have copied extraordinary accounts
of the economical performance Of these engines,
without enlightening us upon the means by
which such results have been attained. Here
is one:
sstThey are turning out some valuable loco
motives at the Cuyahoga Works in Cleveland
One of them was run distance Of lo4 miles,
using only three fourths of cord of wood, by
actual measurement. (, The train consisted of
four cars, made twenty@one stops, and kept up
the usual rate of speed. The engine weighs
twenty five tons, and has six foot driver.
The amount of fuel usually consumed in run
ming that distance, is three cords"
Again, we are told that another engine ran
over 400 miles with some tender Of wood. /"
Now we trust our friend Mr.. d. T. Sterling, the
principal proprietor Of these works, will let the
public know by what means such economy is at
tanned. Is it due to using coke Or coal with
wood, or to the superior quality Of the wood, or
to any new arrangement Of the parts of the en-
ginel The Railroad Journal we should sug-
gest. would be the best medium for giving the
desired information. Railroad Journal. n
| We can answer some Of these questions. Mel
| Their coke nor coal were used, but wood simply
and taken Unfortunately from the railroad
pile. OF course this economy of fuel is due tt
the construction of the engine [Clevelant
