The foreigner who so far forgets his duty as to

81. Peters Courier.
EF0- And yet the very men who were at the
head and front of the Know Nothing move
ment in this city last fall, are now advocating
the claims of Mr. Rice, and the very foreigners
who were the loudest in their denunca,ion
of the Know Nothings then, have united
with the Know Nothngs friends of Mr.. Rice
now, and are doing all they can to elect him.
Well, this may be consistency, but we fail to
sec it. We shall have something further TO say
on this Know Nothing question at the proper
time.

GaT The st. Joseph's (Mo.) Gazette gives a
melancholy picture of the state of things on the
Plains. 1t is thought probable that nearly or
quite all the emigrant trains for California and
Oregon have been plundered, if not destroyed by
the Indians. But light mail is all that has been
received from Utah for two months. The Indians
are reported to be in great numbers all along the
route, with the avowed intention of interrupting
all outward bound trains, and report says they have
attacked every train that has attempted to pass,
and have murdered the men, plundered their
goods, and carried off the men and children in
considerable numbers few have been plumber
ed only, and suffered to go and perish by STAR
walton. The troops ordered to the Plains have
thus far been of little or no service to the emf
grant trains.

DuonAoxruL.-Oue of tho most beastly af-

DlsoRAosFuL.-One of the most beastly af-
trays that has ever disgraced our city, occurred
on Thursday night last, at the saloon on Fort
street. A man who had been drinking all day,
became moro noisy than was agreeable to some
other drunken men, when quarrel commenced
and regular fight soon followed. Unfortunate
for one of them, he was the victim upon which
all the others rcekcd their Vengeance. Ills head
and face and other parts of his body were bruised,
but it is thought he will recover. We did not
learn his name nor his place of residence, but un-
derstand that he lost something over $500 in the
fight. This, in consideration of getting pretty
well beaten up, will probably have the effect to
teach him the lesson that saloons are but the out
houses of hell.

arsenic recently at Vawter's Drug Store, say
