INDIAN oUrRAGEs ON THE PLAIys-A Party
OF Immigrants Destroysd.-A special correspond
ent OF the Chicago Tribune, writing from Leav-
enworth on the 18th instant says:
. Intelligence of the most painful character has
just reached this city, and hasten to put vol i'm
possession Of the facts as they came by rumor
from Fort kcarney. Some time about the first of
June party OF emigrants-in all twenty-two
men, women and childreu-passed the Fort en-
route to California. They were well provided
with conveniences of travel and means of defence:
anu though warned of the hostile intentions of
the Indians, thought they had abundant means of
self-protection. When about eighty miles west

Cheyennes and vagabond Sioux Just before day

may prove to be much exaggerated, but at present
we see no reason to doubt their correctness.:,

IHE SECRET OF THE WALKER DEMoxsTRA

who assembled to see the fllibuster Walker. on

elaborate plates OF all the localities in the
State known to fame on secOuntpf their won

got out his first number, which consists of the

"Harper's Ferry" &" The Rockfish Gap, ""The

say that as works of art, both in the selection
of the exquisite subjects for such book and
in their execution under the artists hands, they
will compare at least favorably with any Amer

do not believe that the equal of this work was
ever before gotten up in the United States.
Every Firginian, ut least, who aspires to Guilt
