Irshmen while engaged in fishing on the river bank,
in front of Mayors & Strauss store, were drowned
As well as can gather from the particulars it
seems that, at the time, one of them was scooping
with net and losing his balance fell into the river
Three of his comrades standing near rushed to his
assistance. and one of them succeeded in getting
hold of his hand and was about pulling him out,
when the bank upon which he was standing gave
way, and second fell in. A third went to their
assistance, and Jared the same fate. fourth one
succeeded in seizng hold of the hand OF the third
man. The four were then linked together by their
hands, and in the struggle to extrcate the Others the
fourth one lost his balance and fell n but succeeded
in dvestng himself of the dying grip of the others,
who then sank to rise no more.
We could ascertain the name of but oae-Birns

the present without success Laurence Birns brother

The LEGAL ADVERTISING BILL--It affords us
pleasure which would not disguise, to chronicle
the demise of this infamous measure, which took
place suddenly in the Senate on Wednesday last We
have already stated in previous number that it was
intended to force all the judicial advertising of the
city of New Orleans into the columns Of the State
journal in other words to compel the people of that
city, by power of party legislation, to Contribute
about $4,000 per annum to party organ The pur-
pose was so plain, the proposition so garing, not
withstandng the !sspecia! pleadings of those who
sought to crowd through that it excited the oppo
sition OF many prominent Democrats in the House of
representative, and barely escaped alive from that
body, to meet its just doom in the Senate. Much
praise is due to Gen. Munday and other Democrats,
sist this vile scheme of partisan oppression The bill
came up for third reading on Wednesday, and the
vote on the motion to adopt the first section resulted
in tie l3 to l3. The motion consequently lost
escat in pace.

ELoQuENCE OF THE LATE S. S. PRESTIss.-A cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier remarks You
will find in this mornings Globe (Which accompanies
this) the speech of Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, a
most able and finished argument. In speaking of
this handsome effort of Mr.. Keitt to Mr. Rves the old
Jacksonian printer of the Globe said he: " Oh, yes
sir, it was credtable very; but when one remembers
the effort of the late s. S. Prentiss it is in vain to
speak of any mans oratory of this day. They all
thought when Prentiss arose to reply to Ghoson he
would break down in hour but, sir four hours
left him id sight more improved than when he
commenced, and his friends asked an adjournment in
order to hear him the next day!''
Poor Prentiss the wondrously gifted, the high
hearted noble and patriotic, cut off in the prime of
life Would that he were alive, and in the counsels
of the nation now The country needs such men,
but alas, the country has them not Her best bright

Editor Nueces PdLey-Dear Sir: The Indians
still continue to carry death and desoIatiou AMONGST
citizens. The bodies of no less than eight men
have within the last three days been reported here
as having been murdered by them northwest Of this
They were discovered by party of men en- route
from San Antonio to Guerrero and the description
not only Of the locality where the murdered party
was found but the particular features and marks Of
the corpses, leave no doubt as to the identity The
dog of one of the men, whose features, severely
marked by smallpox were described by the Guerrero
party, has returned home. The man in Question
Edubejen Molino, has left large family He was an
industrious and good citizen Another of the eorpses
as described, corresponds with the body of an old
man with but one eye, named Frausta who went out
along with Judge Williamson of this place and num-
Der of other citizens, to run cattle. They were to
have returned here oh the 18th of this month 1t is
feared that Judge Williamson also has persisted at the
hands Of the savages as the FEausta was in at

fatal spot where the bodies are lying 1t is highly
probable they will fall in with Indians as plenty are
about. Capt. Brackets company of dragons has
done no good that have heard Of owing it is sup

fully in this country requires evidently guides taken
from this immediate vicinity. Capt. Ford's company

cause they had good guides from this place. Blythe

NARROW EscAPE-The Boston express train for
New York, on the 3lst ult, narrowly escaped terri
bic disaster in running into a fallen bridge about
half mile this side of New Haven. The bridge had
broken down under the weight of snow saturated by
the rain, probably only few minutes before the cars
came along, and the road was completely covered by
huge timbers The train was proceeding at the rate
of only about ten miles an hour when it ran into the
obstruction, and consequently injury resulted to
the passengers beyond brisk shalzingup. The loco
motive was thrown off the track.
