INDIANS MURDERED BIZ KnIeRANrs

{ Il rom te Sosnci Bafs dbwaD Bugle, May p
On Sunday last, three Indians visited
camp OF einigrants, and being some
what intoxicated from the effects Of spirits
that had been sold them by the whites,
got into little squabble in which there
was a clinch between the parties and the
Indians were expelled. The company
soon raised the hue and cry that the In
dams had made an attempt to murder
and rob them. A company of 40 or so
mounted and ysll armed men were soon
in pursuit of them. One of the Indians
was riding pony, whilst two were walk
ing, one of whom was shot down like
hunted wolf, the other lesped upon
the pony and rode forward with ali pos
slble speed, but were oyertaken by the
blood hounds, who fired a shower Of lead
at them. Two were killed dead on the
spot and stripped of their guns and other
apparatus, which together with the pony
was secured and carried off triumphantly
to camp by the assailants. The third
was carried over the river last night in
dying state, and is doubtless gone to the
Hunting Ground" ere this.

aroused the indignation not only of the
Indians, but of all our citizens as far as
We have heard an expression. The COM
pany was from Illinois, and crossed the
river to-day. They will doubtless meet
with difficulty, but are not deserving Of
the least pity, and we for one as sincerely
hope for their punishment as we would
the murderer, who is ascending the gal
lows. If there be any fault in the con-
duct of the Indians, it must properly be
ascribed to the manner in which they are
governed and controlled under our GOV
ernment.
We hear that the people here were on
the eve of arrestng or lynching then,
but they have flown over the river and
may yet get their just deserts.
As we go to press, we learn that an
Indian is lying dead by the road side
between this city and Carterville, muir
dered, doubtless, by some reckless emf
grant who is as careless in regard to his
own safety in passing through the Indian
as he is Of the safety of others.
We shall expect to see the Indian agent
use means for the arrest of the murderers,
that they may be punished as their crimes
deserve. Report also informs us that a
skirmish had taken place over the river,
In which eight or ten Indians were killed.

CENTRAL ONO RAILRoAD.-We are glad
to learn from the most authentic source,
that the Central Ohio Railroad Company
hav just closed contracts for the building
of twenty-four first class locomotives; the
delivery ofwhich is to be made at the rate of
four per month, from the first of August
next. This number of engines, in-connec-
ton with twelve now in use, and five which
the ballast contractors are TO supply, will
furnish an effective force of forty-one en-
gines for the large business which is expect
ed to press upon the road at its opening
This desirable event it is hoped will take
place between July and September next. A
survey made in October last, OF 1.-The work
then to be done to complete the graduation,
showed that it would amount to but $464,
900; and since that time the work upon the
heavy sections has been pressed as fast as
the weather would permit. The track lay
ing east OF GAINESVILLE is progressing, and
it is believed that the road will be opened
as far east as Cambridge. (within fifty miles
of the Chic river) during next month.
These gratifying assurances Indicate,
that within a brief period, our City and its
great road will be joined to the Railway
system Of the West, and will then ieel the
favorable influence resulting from a con-
thu as connection with the of
that vast region Baltimore American Of
