Sippmss of Punch.

In order to account for the little injury
done to Scvasbpol by the British shells,
Punch suggests that the latter must have been
filled with the glnrowdcr intended for the tea
pot.
Punch thinks that Nicholas does not spend
much for spies in England: the newspapers
tell every thing, and the subscription prices are
reasonable.
An UNJUST CeMpAR1soN.- a meeting of
the Middlesex magistrates there was motion
for expense for militia colors and musical in
struments that could not be entertained "Why
not apply to the war Officer" asked Mr.. viii
son. at has been DONE" was the reply of the
lieutenant colonel land it is of much use as
representing to lamp-post An unjust COM
parison this; for the lamp-post has, at least a
greater part of its time, light at the head OF
it. No coronet extinguishes it.
CABINET VIRrtE-When a Minister can
stand no longer, he meets his fate with resig-
nation.
EXTRAORDINARY PREsENr.-It is said that
Lord Aberdeen is to have the vacant garter.
About as fitting present as knee buckles to
a Highlander. Seeing that the Premier has
not leg to stand upon, what will he do with
garter?
STRONG PRoBABnlry.-We fully anticipate
that one more grand mistake will be made in
managing matters in the Crimea. We are in
daily expectation Of hearing that all the plum
buildings would have been sent out there for
the troops, have been fired away under the
idea that they were round shot.
COOKERY FOR THE CRlMEA.-The mess in the
Crimea appears to be owing to divided res
possibility, the work being distributed over a
number of departments among too many cooks
who spoil the broth, and Whole performances
result only in a wretched hash.

INDIAN MASSACRE AT THE PUEBLO OF THE AR
KASsAs.--The Santa Fe Gazette learns from
Mr.. Atwood, who had arrived at that place
from the ST. Charles river, the following par
ticulars Of a dreadful massacre by party of
Indians at the Pueblo of the Arkansas
On the morning of the 25th of December,
hundred in number, collected and drove OH the
stock Of Mr. Marcellena, who lives about three
iourths of q mile east Of the Pueblo, on the
river Arkansas. This depreciation was proba-
bly, committed before daylight as Marcellena
had no knowledge of it until the Indians re-
turned and told him what they had done.
They cane within speaking distance of the
house. and wanted to come to it, but he and
his men, who were well armed kept them of.
They told him they had come to murder the
people, Mexicans and Americans, and meant
to do SO. They went up to the Pueblo, and
professed much friendship for the inhabitants,
which they did. The people, suspecting no
harm received the Indians kindly, and mingled
freely with them, when the latter, without the
least warning, surrounded and massacred them.
Fourteen men were killed and two wounded,
who were left for dead, and three women and
two children were made captives. One man
fortunately escaped by hiding in the bushes
near the village.
The Indians then rode away, taking all the
Stock some two hundred head. All the women
Of the village, except the three captured, were
at the St. Charles, attending Christmas party
the night before, and had not yet returned,
and in this manner probably saved their lives.
The same Indians returned the next day, and
killed one man and wounded another, opposite
the mouth of the St. Charles, and within half
mile of the fort; and that night they run off
near one hundred head of animals belonging
to the fort. Mr. Atwood was at the St.
Charles on his way from Salt Lake City to
TAOS when the massacre took place. and half
an hour afterwards was at the Pueblo. He
describes the scene as heartrending in the
extreme The victims were lying as they fell,
stripped, and the warm blood was still runninr
from their wounds. The two wounded men
he met on the road crawling towards the fort
one died on the way, but the other reached
there, and the other was alive when Mr.. At
wood left, on the first of the month. He came
through in safety with four men, and saw no
Indians on the route.
The Hon. VIM. Sackson, formerly member
Of Congress, and for many years past a leading
tree soil politician, died on the 9th ult., at his
residence in Newton, Mass.
