Severely Hounded.-Despstches have
been received a, the War Department and
a, The Department. Of the Interior from
New Mexico. giving account Of fresh
Indian war in the Navajo country.
Col. Mclean, of the Rifles, was return
ing from Santa Fe to Fort Defiance with
seventeen mounted rifemen and few
friendly Indians and Mexicsns under Cap
tain Bias Lassero, when, within two days
march of For, Defiance. he discovered a
large body Of Indians attempting TO eur,
round him. He forthwith dismounied
his men and attacked The Indians. who
had signi6ed by their war-whoop their
intention Of attacking his force. He led
the attack, and at q distance Of three to
four hundred yards fred, killed several
Indians and dispersed the rest. A party
of them, who gained McLean's flank,
opened sharp fire Of arrows and bullets.
Mclean was badly wounded, supposed
a, the time MORALLY. His men continued
TO fight. and took large amount OF prop
erty, horses. &c. 1t is supposed this is
the band of Indians which protected the
murderer of Major Brooke's servant.
Col. Miles, commanding a, Fort Def
snce, reports tina! this Precipi's'es another
serious Indian war, and that he will take
the field without delay, with all his force,
consisting Of about three hundred mount
ed riaemen and infantry. is said these
Indians number about two thousand war
ri,rs. They are defiant, for when Nc
Leans party drew their arms they laugh
ed in their peculiar fashion.

who threatened TO take her life by knock.
ing her in the head with fence rail. II
she did not leave there Immediately. She
f4d, and made her way with all possible
haste TO house near by, where she made
known wha, was going on. The news
soon circulated, and few Of the neigh
bors assembled and repaired TO the place
where the woman left the negro abusing
and threatening the life Of The girl. Here
they were not to be found. but after the
lapse Of few minutes, the negro was
seen emerging from the wood near by,
and in some way managed to make his
escape. The girl was shortly afterwards
found no, far from the road side, ruined
and almos, dead. the monster villain hav.
ing accomplished his hellish design. The
people commenced most diligen. search,
and next morning found. arrested. and

large room in the north nave, and in front

soon made their appearance, and with in
credible rapiti,y in every direction.
There were about 1000 persons scatter.

thrown open. The entrance on forlieIh
