There is now in this city, says a Fl.
Dodge paper, at the house of Mai. Will
liams, little boy about s years old, who es-
capped the bloody massacre by the Indi-
ians at Springfield, M. T., on the Doth of
March last, and who was brought to town
by the volunteers who went up to the res
cue. He says his name is John Sidman
Stewart. We learn from some of the
survivors of the massacre, that he is the
son Of Josiah Stewart, formerly of lndi-
ana county, Pa. The boy says that his
grandfalher's name was Fleming-(prob-
ably his mothers maiden name.) All the
boys family, father, mother, and two little
sisters, are among the murdered.
Also, a young lady, about l6 or II
years OF age, named Elizabeth Gardner,
whose family were also murdered, she
only escaping the horrid fate. She says
her fathers name was Roland Gardner,
but she knows not the residence of any
relatives. Her father ernigra,ed from
the State of Indiana to this State, and
was formerly from Steuben county, New
York.
Both are DESTROYS of hearing from their
relatives, if they have any and all COM
munications in reference to them, adj

The TIDE TURSING-THE SOBER SEC
oND THoUGHT.-Black Republicanism is
Fastening in the footsteps of its elder
brother, Know othingism, to an early
decay. The reaction is beginning, and
it will be great in proportion TO the strength
of the excitement which has spent itself,
and made reaction necessary.
In New England, the Crinea of black
republicaniSm, the spring campaign has
opened with brilliant triumphs for the ma
tional democracy. In Iowa, where Yam
kee fanaticism proved stronger than de-
mocracy las, fall, the tide has turned, and
the young State, shaking off the letters Of
New England Purilanlsm, has wheeled
into the democratic column.
And Ohio has just shown in her late
spring elections, that her sturdy democ'
racy can carry upon their backs the dead
weight of niggerism in the Western Re,
serve, and yet triumph ~gloriously. Alas
poor Sambo, he sang the requiem Of
t massa Sam, and now he too mus "gC
