Wholesale Massacre Of Whites by Indians
Fifty Killed

In addition to the startling intelligence
received few days since Of murders com
mitted in the northern portion Of the State
by Indians, the Yreka Union of Saturday,
furnishes us with the suboned painful nfor-
nation. 1t appears that nought save eXter-
mination is in store for the savages of that
section Of country:
On Tuesday morning, 9th inst, n large
party Of Indians collected and started down
Rogue river killing every white man who
happened to fall in their way. At Evans
Ferry they found two or three men, whom
they murdered, and then left the river for
Waggoner's, on Louise creek. Just before
they reached Waggoner's they were met by
a party of packers, with a large train, who
saw from their appearance that there was
something wrong with them. Presently the
packers looked back and saw Waggoner's
barn on fire and heard the screams Of wo-
men and children in the house They then
cut loose their packs and run for their lives.
The Indians pursued them closely, killing one
of their mules.
They counted in their flight the bodies Of
seventeen white men, who had been murder
ed along the road. Many of these We're
teamsters, and their loads had been scattered
in every direction by the Indians in search
inc for ammunition and liquor.
From Waggoner's, it appears that the In
dians now nearly all drunk, again started
down Rogue river, burning and numbering as
they went
On Wednesday they were oyertalen by
Major Fitzgerald with 80 men, and battle
f1uob+ IN u-bi.b II, n cnIJiorg
are reported to have been killed.
Mrs. Waggoner and child were murdered,
and five other families along the route pur
sued by the Indians are said to have shared
the same fate. The whole number OF whites
who have already fallen, from the best ac-
counts, is between 80 and so.

picture Of Mexican politics than in my last
letter.
The different parties have stopped in their
career to upset the Provisional Government,
and appear quietly to submit to the election
Of a President, which has to take place by
the convention convol,ed for the 4th October
at Guernayaca. The respective decree is
signed by Gen. Alvarez who certainly pre-
ferred this small town to the city Of Mexico,
where his personal influence would have been
entirely lost.
The different candidates proclaimed are:
Gen. Alvarez, now at IeuaIa
" Comontort, now at Guadalajaro
" Harooy Tamaris, now at San Luis.
" MeIcher Campo now at Monterey.
g Santiago BIanco, now at Guanajuato
" Manuel Roblos, now in this city.
4" NJ. t. Palamos, now in this city.
Licentiado Ia I.lave now at Vera Cr'z.
Of all these candidates, think Comonfort
has the best chance, being sustained besides
by the principal papers in this city; however,
he is a new man, and only known by bis
energy during the late revolution. His enc
mics had brought out a Eliminating accusa-
tion, making him and Alvarez participators
in a prcmeditatcd sale of some departments
to the United States. But Gen. Alvarez on
one side, and the American Minister on the
other, have published long manitestoe~, call
inc said assertions vile calumnics, and Mr..
Gadsden finished his declaration in the fol-
lowing forcbe manner. saving: The dip O.
macy of the United States is truth. and the
American Legation in Mexico, feels itself
bound to state publicly, in good faith and
sincerity, that the United States shall never
be accused Of duplicity."
The Trait d Union has sustained also its
reputation Of aighforwardness, and in some
excellent articles it advocates religious, poll
teal and social liberty. hope that the
power of the clergy will be broken with
Santa Annals downfall, and that all liberal
thinking men in Mexico will defend the said
principles as the only ones which can attract
foreign emigration and advance the country.
Some of Santa Annals DEGREES have been
revoked. and amongst these the principal one
is the law granting amnesty to public officers
accused of fraud. General Carrera has not
waited till Congress convened to bring up
before the law all those who abused the
confidence placed in them and squandered
public funds. think at San Francisco SINH
lar severity would not be out Of place.

A Great Battle.

Massachusetts is to be the theatre Of the
greatest political battle Of the year, and ev-
cry politician will accordingly watch the pro-
gress Of events wi h unusual interest. We
have therefore copied largely from the ac-
count of the late Republican State Conven-
ton. This is the first organization in Mas
sachuse,ts on the Republican Platform, and
it has been inaugurated amid great difficult
ties. In the first place the Liquor Question
is in the way; aud the Pierce men have a
vailed themselves Of that question in order
to make a respectable show of strength: the
rummies of all parties and the Pierce men
have united upon one State Ticket. In the
mex, place the K. n. question was an obsta-
Gle TO harmonious action, there being GER
tainly two party organizations already in the
field to wit. the Know Nothings and the
Know Something's. 1t is probable that the
great body of both sorts will support the Re-
publican Ticket. Finally, there was a con-
siderable number Of $50 called) straight out
Wings" in observation-disclosures many of
them, who were so rey straight that they
bent backward in 1852 and voted for Frank
Pierce Some of these men are still bent
on mischief, but We think that most of the
men of Massachusetts who ever called them
selves Wings, will support the Republican
ticket. At present the signs are favorable,
and the battle has been commenced with
great spirit.
