ONO WHITE SULPHUR.-Mr. PAST is
making extensive preparations for the OPEN
ing of this establishment-which is doubt
less destined to become one 0 fthe most pop
ular summer resorts in the West. We copy
the following notice of an improvement in
nrospect from the Cincinnati CONNER cial Of
the I4thi
A very beautiful vase, as we'll in design
and execution as in material, is just being
finished for Isaac Paist, at the Ohio White
Sulphur Springs, near Delaware. 1t is
wrought from a single block of beautiful
Italian marble-white with blue veins-is
b~ell-shaped, about four and a half feet
across the brim, and three and a half deep
and has been made at cost of five hundred
dollars. 1t is to receive the sulphur water
| as il flows from the fountain-Will form a
most elegant ornament to the grounds, and
speaks highly of the taste and iberaity Of
! the proprietors and skill Of the artist.
II is not unreasonable that the citizens Of
| Ohio should take a State pride in the fact
that the summer resort near Delaware is
now quite superior to the White Sulphur OF
Virginia, and not inferior to the watering
places of New York and Rhode Island. 1t |;
not only that the expenditures of the present
proprietor of the Ohio White Sulphur have
been most liberal, but the medicinal prop
critics OF the waters, the rare scenery, ant
the climate, salubrity of the domain are it:
strong attractions.

Indian Massacre.
Crow WING, April as

CROW WING, April 10.
= Arriving here this noon from st. Cloud,
l was told of the shocking massacre of a
Chippewa family by the Sioux, which oc-
Cured at / O'Clock last night.
OTTAWA, a Chippewa, past middle age, had
been out with his family for several days
making maple sugar, Hearing that the
Sioux were about, they came into town with
what sugar they had, being over two thou
sand pounds. This was quickly disposed
of for whiskey. Their lodge was on the
island at the mouth of Crow Wing river,
just opposite this place, and was very much
exposed to any stealthy attack. In fact,
Ottawa's friends had advised him to move
from the island, on account of the Sioux.
But he replied that she had a spear, and
could kill a Sioux" 10
AT about l O'Clock last night the report
of guns at their lodge, and the cries of the
murdered, were heard on this side of the
river. 1t was discovered early this morning
that the whole family. eleven in all, were
horribly butchered. Nine were dead, all
were scalped, and the heads of some cut off
and carried away. The youngest, a child
with its stomach cut open, was yet alive but
its fortunes were ended by the friendly blow
of a Chippewa. The mother, the squaw,
stabbed, shot and s~calped. She fingers

1t appears there were about forty Sioux in
the company, though it is is thought only a
dozen went up on the Island. These came
up on theeast side of the Mississippi, and
crossed in a large canoe, which was at The
lower end of the village. They were scru-

james B. Clay is as destitute of all taste
and common sense as he is of honor and
honesty. II being known that there was to
be u serenade at the While House on the
night of the passage of English's bill, the
President invited several Democrats of Con-
gress, including ]. b. Clay, TO be present
and speak to the people OUT of his doors and
windows. And J. B. Clay began thus:
Friends: In the old time my name was
often associated with this White House
wl.re we now stand. Those times have
passed, and there is nothing to be realized
beyond what We have al p~resent-Clay, an
humble follower in the ranks of the Democ-
racy.
Everybody knows, that, in the old times,
Henry Clay's name was often associated
with the White House, but we are not aware
that James B.. Clay's ever was. If this sill
~ creature alluded, DIS we suppose he did, to
the old struggles OF his illustrious father to
reach the White House, and to the tremen-
deus efforts of the democratic party to
place him there, efforts baffled by the lies
and ISLANDERS and e%alunnies of the Democ-
racy, led ON by James Buchanan, the White
AAOuS1 . SNotNAh bIlS d0I was.
under all the circumstances, in the most at
trucious and horrible taste that can be con-
ceived. 1t is scarcely in the power of "a
man of ordinary sensibility or any decent
sense of propriety to understand how the
wreiched apostate, standing at the window
of the very house that his father was basely
excluded from by the infamous prosecutions
Of political myrInidons themselves, can have
got his own consent to make such reference
to his fathers hopes and aspirations and
struggles and overthrows. 1t was unnatur-
al, it was monstrous, it was revolving, it was
shocking, it was disgusting.
The apostate speaks but the truth when
he says that the tunes when his father strug-
gled for the White House have passed. and,
that "tbere is nothing TO be realized now ex-
cept Clay, on humble follower in the ranks
of the Democracy" The old time is indeed
past, and the only Clay now in public life
from Kentucky is an humble follower and
the most obedient humble servant of the
Democracy which pursued his father for a
quarter of century, as blood-hounds, to use
that fathers own memorable language, pur-
sue a torn and bleeding stag---LouisuiHe
