The Yale College Riot.

The Cincinnati Commercial says: Our
thanks are due a friend for the privilege af.
forded us of copying the annexed extract
from letter, written by young gentleman
of this city, now student at Yale College,
dated New Haven, Conn, Saturday evening,
March 18th:
81 was last night called out by the cry of
Yale (oW watchword in time of danger,
and found the students and firemen engaged
in general fight. 1t seems that some of the
iremen had beaten one of the students very
severely, for trivial offence, and large
body of students went to demand satisfac-
ton, but were overpowered by the fremen
and driven to the College, pelted with brick
bats and stones. The firemen attempted to
gain admittance into the College buildings
by breaking down the doors and windows,
and the fight then became general The
students barricaded the doors, and fought
like tigers. with clubs, muskets, pistols and
knives. One of the iremen was stabbed to
the heart; another was shot through the
head, and fell dead on the pavement. and
several Others were dangerously wounded
None of the students were killel, but several
severely wounded. No arrests have yet been

Sinking of the Avery

The officers of this unfortunate boat ar
rived here on the Duke, Sunday evening"
They state positively that the boat was
struck by snag. The engineer, Mr.. Guth-
rie, was standing on the lower guard when
she struck. and SAYS that his first impression
was that the whole side was knocked out of
her. The carpenter jumped down into the
hold, to see what was the matter, and by
the time his feet had touched bottom, the
water was up to his waist. The snag struck
the larboard knucklc.
The officers state that the Avery was not
heavily loaded, that her guards were more
than foot clear oi the water. At the time
there was a severe wind up the river. and
the Glendale had stopped at Black Hawk
point, on account of the waves, which. as
as she was deeply loaded, broke over her
guards The Avery vas at the time so high
out of the water. that the waves which stop
ped the Glendale did not wet her deck

counsel occupied three days, and the decis-
ion of the Judge was deferred. Judge Adj
ans proposed to give his decision on Mon
day last the 18th inst, at IL o'clock
By passengers in the splendid steamer
Duke. which arrived last evening from New
Orleans, we learn that on Monday last,
Judge Adams, before whom an application
was argued for the release Of the parties,
under writ of hdbcas corpus, rendered his
decision in the case, refusing to grant the
application for discharge.
The Judge remarked incidentally, how
ever in the course Of his decision, that in
the main trial it would have to be proved by
the prosecution that the parties charged were
actually, and not by implication, within the
jurisdiction Of the courts of Phillips county,
Arkansas, at the time the alleged crime was
committed This will, of course, release
all the parties arrested, except Cummings
and Holland who were the only ones on the
boa. at the time of her burning.
After the decision was rendered, an appi-
cation was made for an immediate trial, and
was ably argued on both sides. but, as we
learn by private telegraphic dispatch receiv-
ed last night at 10 o'clock, resulted in the
postponement of the trial for sixty days

Two BOYS REsc UED FROM THE CAMANcHE
INDIANs.-Last summer Mrs. Jane Adeline
Wilson, and two boys, were made prisoners
by the Camancho Indians. They were cap
tured near Phantom Hill post, in Texas
The escape of Mrs. Wilson, after enduring
great hardships and sufTerings, has been pub
lished; and letter from Samuel o. Humes
to the 81. Louis Republican gives an ac-
count of the rescue Of the two boys. Mr.
Humes writes on the | lth of January, from
Fort Washita, in the Choctaw nation.
"Ten days since, a boy about II years DID,
calling himself George Washington Wilson,
was brought in near here. by Aaron Brown,
an intelligent, educated Chickasaw Indian
who lives near this post. He had been out
with some Shawnees for the last four
months, trading for mules with Camanches.
They found this white boy with the Canaan
ches, in a very destitute condition respect
ing clothing, having but few rags on his
person. Aaron Brown, with the character
is;ic nobleness of heart peculiar to his tribe.
seeing the white boy in captivity, and badly
used, proposed trading some goods for him.
A few days passed before the trade was con-
cluded After giving several hundred dol
lars worth of goods for the boy, the Canaan
ches wanted to draw bargain, thinking they
could extort more, as they perceived Brown
manifested desire to have the lad A few
days since heard from Fort Arbuckle, stu
ated 6o miles west of this post, that a white
boy had been brought in there by some
friendly Indians, who had bought him from
the Camanches lately. This boy proves tc
be the brother-in-law of Mrs. Wilson, show
ing that all the captives are now safe
Steps will be taken to restore them to theil
friends"
