From the Plains.

Mr.. Henry Livingston, who reached San Di-
ego, short time since, in company with John
Stein and S. Simon, furnished The San Diego
Herald with the following intelligence:
eDuring the two days stay of Mr.. l.. at the
crossing of the Colorado, report was brought
in to the effect that company of immigrants,
composed of fifty persons, all from Texas, were
murdered near the Pimos Villages, by band
of Apaches, on the 31st of August. There
were several women and children in the train.
who, it is feared, were doomed to a more hor-
rid fate. All the cattle, 600 in number, togeth-
er with the provisions, were carried off by the
Indians, leaving the wagons in the road. This
news was brought by train which was at the
time a few hours travel in the rear, but which
happily escaped attack.
ssNear Tucson, about the same time, par
ty of twenty Americans were eating their din
ner, when band of fifteen Indians made de-
scent upon them, and carried Off of their finest
horses, without a shot being fred by either par
ty, altho' the Americans were well armed, out
numbering them, and witnessed the outrage.
ssAnother party, few miles on the other
side of Tuesen, were attacked, one American
killed, and twenty-seven horses taken. The
parties before mentioned were all from Texas
ssThe Apaches are becoming more trouble
some and more formidable every day, and al
most every train which enters within theil
range will be more or less harrassed by them
1t is rumored at the river that more immi
grants ale now on this route, through Texas
| than have ever been before"

GOV POLLOCK AND THE PRESIDENCY

We see that large number of our exchan-
ges have hoisted the name of the Hon. JAMES
Pollock, as the American candidate for Pres
ident in 1856. Although we regard the move
ment as premature, at this time, we are still
in favor of Pennsylvania taking a high posi-
tion, and embracing the first opportunity to
furnish one President; and we know of nc
man surround with more auspicious circunl-
stances, or who has stronger hold on the
feelings of all true Americans, than Gov. Pol
lock.
We think there is no State in the Union
that has stronger claims to the next President
than the sold Keystone.'' And now that we
have candidate, whose character, principles.
and ability have been endorsed by the largest
majority ever given to any occupant of ouI
gubernatorial chair, it is right and proper that
we should urge our claims, 'sand have those
claims allowed.''

From Washington.

The British Government have determined to
abandon all assertion of the Mosquito Protec-
torate, as far as San Juan is concerned, and
will leave the sovereignty of that place to be
settled between the claimants without doing
more than maintain the provisions of thesClay-
ton-Bulwer Treaty as regards the freedom of
the port and transit route. AT the same time
the claims of bona-fde British subjects for
damages from the late bombardment of the
town will alone be urged by the Cabinet of St.
James. We shall be gratifed to find the in
telligence confirmed.
The Washington Star states that the Gov
ernment have received official information that
immense numbers of Kansas emigrants are
now on their return home.
J. G.. Guthrie, Secretary of the U. S. Trea-
sury, and Jefferson Davis, Secretary of War,
have returned to Washington. The former is
suffering from the effects of the Louisville ac-
dent.
