days since l had occasion to visit the place,
and examine for myself, and am satisfied
there is no humbug about it. Some six
weeks since, Squire Hewett was prospecting
for coal, on his farm, when he struck a small
vein of black sand and quartz rock, which,
upon examination, was found to contain
gold, as he supposed. Several Californians
have since visited the place, and tested it,
and pronounced it pure gold. Men are en-
gagged in digging, and average frcn two to
five dollars per day of the precious metal.

DisD, on the 10th February in the | 9th yonr
of his age, WILLIAM T., son of Burrel and
Eleanor Perritt.
Another immortal spirit hns left its earthly
habitation, and has been waited upon scraphic
wings to the gloro, habitation of God and His
angels. Our young friend was dutifnl and at
fectionate, and ever ready to perform his du-
ties to his parents. He did not belong to any
branch of the church, yet when death came he
was ready What consolation, il was to you,
bereavcd parents, when the last spark of life
was almost extinct to hear him shouting, glory
glory glory la term of praise found in the
vocabulary of celestial language, and which is
always rcsounding in the heights of heaven!
On the 28th, the Rev. Mr. Walker paid n
beautiful tribute to the memory of the dcceas-
cd, in which his relatives and friends found n
panacea for their wounded hearts, for they be-
iievcd that while they listened to the soul-stir
ring eloqucnce of the speaker, the departed
spirit of child, friend, was joining in the ce-
lestial melody of praise to God
Again another loved one is gone
TO dwell with God and angels above,
And we are left behind him to mourn,
While he dwells with the God of love.
Farewell! farewell to one most dear,
Thou art gone to eternal rest,
While we drop for thee silent tear,
Thou art numbered among the blcst.

HoRRIBLE MAssACRE. "a horrible mas
sacre was committed about the 7th ult., by
some Mexicans at Dona Ana, New Mcxico.
Eleven Indians, four men, five women and
two children were literally cut to pieces,
and that without the least provocation.
They were carrying wood into the settle
ments as we understand, and trading it for
corn and such other produce as would keep
them from starving, endeayoring, in an
honest way, to got something to cat, when
they were attacked by these cut-throats and
killed. One Indian woman clung to a
Mexican woman, begging for life, but the
brutes tore her away, cut her up, took out
her heart, and split it openS Another
had her tongue torn out and her breasts cut
of, and was thus tortured to death In
what ago Of savage .barbarity h ye such
deeds been eqnaled in brutality
This and similar outrage5 committed in
the New Mexican Territory, call upon Con-
greeg to take some steps 10 protect the help

pose that the Indians shall bo collected on
