INDIAN ATROCITIES IN Mxx1oo.- The
New Orleans Picayune states that among
the most horrible OF the unnumbered at
rocites of the Indians III Mexico. lately,
is one in which they made hole beneath
the chin of a young map, through which
they passed a cord, taking it through
the mouth, SO banging him up BY his
chin to a tree, and making him target
for their nrrowsl Another, in which the
wretches cut some pieces of flesh from the
launches OF u poor infnnt. roasting them
and eating them while the agonized lutte
creature still livedl and anoLherin which
they devouled the greater part of The hui
man body.

RWWe are not disposed to enter into

EB-We are not disposed to enter into
a quarrel with the Alexandria Sentinel
over the dement's of the different gentle
men now before the people as candidates
for Governor. We expect to support the
nominee, and discussion OF these sub
jects might place those engaged in it in an
awkward position. We. in common with
the people of this section OF the State,
have preference between the gentlemen
offered for their sufTrages, and have yet
to learn that there is any thing dishonora-
BILE or immodest in the frank expression of
that preference. We had supposed that
a free interchange Of feeling on the sub
ject was the proper manner to ascertain
and obtain the choice of the party in the
candidates, and acted accordingly; but
some others seem 10 incline 10 the opinion
that a ''masterly inactivity is the true
courSe-that nothing should be said, and
the Convention 20 it blind for the man
that can bring the most effective applian-
ces to bear during its session. We will
not attempt to decide whether it is more
Creditable to place before the eyes Of the
world the name of your choice. and agree
attendance possibe-or, while having a
decided preference. 10 endeavor to con-
ceal it, and at the same time oppose the
wishes Of large majority Of the State in
regard to the time of holding the Conven-
ton, in the hope that something may turn
up in favor of that favorite.
The appeal for time is too palpably
subterfuge. The gentlemen before the
people for the Democratic nomination are
too well known to render any further in
quiry into their public character necessa-
ry, and those who are not predisposed to
oppose the nominee, can End no grounds
for opposition in the holding of Conven-
earlier day has been proposed by large
portion of the people of the State and
what better evidence Of their conciIiatory
disposition is required than the universal
adherence that has been given by them
to the proposition which has originated in
the opposite section. The day then named
is much later than will suit our personal
comfort and convenience, but for the sake
of harmony and union we are willing to
agree to it, and we really hope that the
friends OF later time will not endanger
the prospects Of our party by opposing it.
The fortunes Of the Democratic party
Of Virginia have been saved by the vote of
the people who have received 50 liberal a
share of the censure of some Of their bre-
thrrn, and it may be that those votes will
again be wanted for a similar emergency
In view Of this fact, is it not impolilc to
charge the spontaneous will of those PEG

of course, we do not expect to heed this

this quarter of the State as far as our in

rsM.-At a meeting Of the Now York His
torical Society, Rev. Samuel Osgood read:
a paper entitled European Influence in,
America" in which lie implicitly took
ground against political movements which
are started from fear of Popery and ex-
cessiN e foreign Influence. He averred that
the estimates Of the danger from these
sources were enormously exaggerated.
and that perusal OF the figures OF the
census might do much to relieve the .anx-
iety of those who apprehend the suprem-
acy Of European despotism in this country.

OUR NEXT TOVERNOR.- we cannot
now, with any very great certainty. say
who will be our next Governor, but we
think we have seen and heard enough 10
enable us to form toIera6lu correct opin-
ion as to who be will be. There are
MANY men in the State who will fill the
Office with honor to themselves and credit
to the State. The names of several of
these have been brought prominently be
fore the public, and their friends and ad-
mlrers will, of course, do what they may
think proper To be done to secure their
nomination, This is all right, and should
Tot be cause Of complaint
a portion of The newspapers Of the State
have expressed their preference. Some
are for LEAK. some for SMITH, some for
WISE, and sumo for others a consider
able number of county meetings have
been held to appoint delegates 10 the
State Convention. and in some cases
resolutions have been passed favoring the
nomination OF particular persons We
publish to-day the proceedings of the De-
mOcracy of Highland who adopted Aatter-
ing resolutions in favor Of Mr.. WISE. Al
mOstaI the counties west of The mountains.
and many in the tide-water country, ap-
pear TO prefer the nomination Of Mir
WISE.
We have taken some pains to ascertain
the sentiment of this county, and we have
found great maj rity OF those with whom
we have conversed upon the subject, par.
tial to Mr.. WISE, and We believe the dele
gates from this county will vote for him
in convention. AS at present advised
we think his prospects for nomination de-
cidedly good, and that unless some great
change in public opinion takes place. he
will be our next Governor-Rock. Req.

tbs R1oTs AT New ORLEANs.-The
outrages at New Orleans have assumed
an atrocious character. from which every
good citizen, of every sect and party else
where, should take warning, and to the
extent of their influence enleayorIo calm
and quiet. instead of exciting and indam-

AS Mr.. Cooper, member OF the Board of
Assistant Alderman, was sitting on the
balcony of his house, in Suzette street,

Adams and his wife, a party of men came

one of them fired pistol into the balcony,

Cooper, who was sitting next to her.
This gentleman immediately gave the
alarm, and cried 'Watch!' as loud as be

and passing him. Before the thing could
be explained the murderous scoundrels
had passed out Of sight.
"But the outrages of the night did not
stop here. Sergeant Thomas, of the first
District police, reports that at 10 o'clock
he Iound a man named Michael Hyde, at
