THE BoYD WILKINSON TRIAL.-This
case, which has ELECTED so much attention
throughout the State, has been up for a
hearing about two weeks already, and it is
altogether likely that it will continue on
hand for some time to come, and that with
NO other result than the final acquittal Of
the defendants, and an additional indebted
ness of johnson county Of some $4,000 or
$4,000. At Iowa City this trial excites
much less sensation than we expected to
see, owing probably to the fact that the cit
liens have already become tired of hearing
about 1t. The defendants take the matter
very cody. and appear to have NO fears as
to the ultimate result Of the trial. Phillip

10 LtsW. Hnsti"gs.-We learn by private letter
from Fort Buchanan, New Mexico, that about
the middle Of October last some Apache Indians
made an attack upon several soldiers, who. at the
time, were employed in the garden, and who
were chased into the Fort by their assailants
Upon the alarm being given all the officers and
men, except enough TO guard the post, went inn
mediately in pursuit Of the Indians. While
making charge down a steep. rock hill, Lieut.
Hastings was thrown from his horse with great
violence, had his leg and collar bone badly
broken, and his chest so severely crushed that
for some time, his life DIES paired Of He
was immediately removed to the post. and, at
the date OF orr correspondents letter, Nov. -
was considered ont of danger. although IL Is sup
posed that the injuries he received will unfit him
for future service.
Lieut.. Hastings is a gallant officer, and distin-
guished himself in the Mexican war where be
received severe wound in the same leg which
was broken in his recent ll.-St. Lonis RepKb
