INDIAN MASSACRE on THE PLAINs.-On
the 7th October last, large party of emf
grants on their way to California from Mis-
souri,, via Kansas City and Albuquerque,
on what is called Beale's route, were at
tackled by Indians and driven back. A Mr..
w. w. Banker, who was in the party, ar
rived in San Francisco. He says the ac-
counts published nisrepresent the facts Of
the case greatly. Banker says % persons
were killed, five were wounded, of whom
several died soon afterward; property to the
value of $l50,00O was destroyed or lost;
the survivors had TO undergo the most ter
rible suffering, barely escaping with their
lives. 1t seems that the emigrants, after
having Travelled a great distance without
water, arrived at a spring near the Colora-
do in the night. There were some Indians
collected around the spring. The emigrants
fired at them and killed. one. The Indians
fled. There were 240 emigrants-l60 men
and so women and children. The time Sc
lected for the attack was when the men
were divided in three parties; one to guard
the cattle at the pasture ground, nine miles
iioh Aic SuHpi oiio tii'iu VII tiiC iNSi Sauh
making RATS upon which TO cross. Mr..
Banker recollects that the following were
killed:
Frank Robinson Of New York; George
Anderson. of New York; -McKane, of
New York; Miss Kincaid; Cruise;
Miss Brown little girl; McGowan, an Irish
man, lately from Missouri; -Baughe-
man, wife and five children; Mrs. Arm
strong little Miss Brown, sister of the
one killed by the Indians, died from fright.
The Indians drove away oil the cattle,
nearly 1900, and abou, 81 of them were
recovered. A party was organized TO chase
the Indians, but they were deferred by a
white man among the red men, who advised
them in very good English 10 turn back and
be glad if they could get away alive. The
emigrants having few teams left, collect
ed 79 of their wagons into small space
and set fire to them 10 keep the red men
from enjoying the spoil. The emigrants
were known as Browns, Roses, and Bailey's
train from Missouri and Iowa. Rose lost
$4,000; Bailey $4,000, and Brown his
life.

An ANEcDorE OF CcL. BEsror.-The
Alexandria Sentinel ellis the familiar story
about Col. Benton's refusing to recognizable
House Of Representatives as legal body
after the 9Th of March.
1t was Sunday morning, ard the 4th Of
March of the short session. Col. Benton
held that as the Sd Of March was the end
of the period fer which the Representatives
had been elected, the House had expired at
midnight of Saturday. By a sort of legal
fiction, however, the House claimed not
only to be living on Sunday morning, but
was calling up its absent members, and it
SO happened that just as Col. Benton, after
a good nights sleep and hearty breakfast,
reached the door of the Hall, his name was
called by the CLERK. Immediately his
indignation was great" You shanf call
my name si-. I'll sue you, if you call my
name in there, SIR"

GENERAL WAsHINarox's RrMAIN's.-
Tho oIlowingis an extract from an arti-
Gle in the New York Ledger Of January 25th
inst:
A few years ago the remains of Gen.
Washington were disintered for the pur-
pose of placing them in new coffin
Even these were found in a remarkable
state Of preservation-so much SO, that ore
tpho knew him in life you'd at once hare rec
ognized his features.
Harper's .Magasrnk for March, 1856,
has an article in which is described the
removal of the remains of Washington;
"At the reques. of Major Lewis" says
Mr.. Strickland, "the fractured part Of the
lid was turned over on the lower part, ex-
posing to view head and breast Of large
dimensions, which appeared BY the dim
light of the candles, 10 haue suffered bui
title from the effects Of time. The eye sock
els were large and deep, and the breadth
scross the temples, together with the fore
head, appeared Of unusual size. There was
no appearance Of grave clothes; the chest
was broad, color was dark, and had the
appearance Of dried flesh and skin adhering
close 10 the bones"
These accounts coincide with the COM
mon belief in the neighbOrhood of Mount
Vernon.

coffins being placed along side each other,
they were so csnfounded that the young

and hardly anything can be simpler than its
manufacture; yet we import the great bulk
of what we consume, while exporting none
of our own production. In short, there are
scores Of opportunities on every side for en-
barking IN manufactures, with moral GER
tainty of immediate success and ultimate
wealth.
Nor do we need capital, us is often asser-
ted. There is capital enough in this coun-
try, and readiness to invest it, if its owners
can be but sure that It will be wisely en-
plOyed. Our greatest deficiency is in prac-
lical knowledge. Were ten thousand Of
our young men thoroughly qualified to d.
rest and manage manufactures, there would
be room for them all. Mills and improved
water powers sell at ruinous rates, in good
part because there are few or none qualified
by training and experience 10 make the
most of them. Had one-fourth Of our youth
who have been sent 10 college during the
last Ten years been sent instead TO the bes,
manufactures of the Old World, there &c
study and master the most approved meth
DDS Of spinning, weaving, dyeing, &c., oul
national wealth would have been far create,
than it is, and our labor more generally en-.
plOyed and more literally remunerated.-
May we not hope that the immediate future
will correct the error of the past?

CAPTURE OF CoRNwALLIs--PRETTY
GooD.--Some years ago there lived in
Yorktown a wealthy gentleman, Col.
-, who was the nominal owner of
an old negro named Billy. But Billy
was in reality his own master; and in
order to make a little money with the
least possible amount of labor, cleared
ont the rubbish and swept some old
excavations at Yorktown, that had
been used by Cornwallis at his head
quarters when heseiged at that place,
and which were frequently visited by
sights seers, who always rewarded Bill
ly tor showing them around. The
old fellow never failed to tell with
great JUNCTION of the capture Of Corn
wallis by Washington. which he pro-
fessed to have witnessed and describ.
ed il in the following manner:
"The General stationed himself be-
bind a bush, on the lookout for his
lordship, who soon came walking by
nnsuspicious of danger, when tht
General suddenly jumped out and
collared him, saying-'Ah! you blam'
ed old rascal, I've caught you at last

ANEcporE OF MoRpHY.-The Par.
j, correspondent of tie National In
telligencer says:
The following story has been rela.
ted to me, illustrative Of the. phi!oso'
ply of chess, a game which enjoys
the traditional admiration Of DR..
Franklin as requiring the exertion OF
every originating faculty Of the mind.
In the course of one Of the games be-
tween Messrs. Morphy and Anders'
sen, move Of the former excited
much surprise among the byStanders.
He had declined to take piece, which,
although apparently an exchange OIL
knights, would have resulted conclu-
siveiy in his favor. The game pro-
ceeded, however, without verbal com
ment, and was rapidly won by Nor
ply. No sooner did lie deliver the
'checkmate' than one of the most in
tense lockers on, breathless with pent.
up emotion, exclaimed, For love of
heaven, tell me why you did not take
the knight Because said Mr..
Morphy, all alive to the nature OF his
friends move, i should have lost the
game by a stalemate. Mr.. Anders.
sen saw the game was desperate, and
he planned this snare for me- So say.
ing he replaced the pieces as they had
been at the critical moment, and de-
monstrated by series Of moves the
result which would have been inevi-
table had he taken the knight. w Was
l not right, Mr.. Anderssen9' Pre-
ciselyp calculated the bewildered gen
tlemen, thinking, possibly, the Prince
of Darkness was not without share
in the composition Of the young stran
ger.

Why he Bet ON Him.

A Virginian relates an anecdote OF
Mr.. Wise's famous stumping tour be-
fore the last Gubernatorial election
lie was introduced to a famous char
acter of their county, Mr.. r,
when the following conversation &C.
Cured: y
Mr.. F.-"Glad to see you, Mr..
Wise"
Mr.. W.-"HaPPy tOsee you, Mr.,
f."
Mr.. F,-"Sorry can not vote for
you, Mr.. Wise"
Mr.. W.--"Sorry for that, too; but
this is q free country--a man can vote
as he pleases."
Mr.. .F.--"But I'll bet on you, Mr..
Wise"
Mr.. W.-"Glad to hear that from
you, Mr.. =, as you are man OF
disernment in all betting matters" "
Mr.. F.--"I.et me tell you a story.
Some years ago was at the Rich
mond races. There were were sever
al fine looking horses entered. Pres
emily they led in the ugliest, rawbon-
lest, scrawniest looking beast that ever
YOU did see; but he had fire in his
eye. Igot any odds | pleased, and
won every bet. So, if | can't vote for
you, Mr.. Wise, III go my death bet
ting for you!"
Wise laughed heartily, and accept
ed tho remarks of Mr. F., as a
good omen; which was in few weeks
afterwards verified, BY the result Of the
election.

AYERS
Ague Cure,

FoR THE SPEEDY CURE or
Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with a perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be Of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CURB" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AGuA
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, If taken on the first ap-
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t 10
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class Of complaints but also the
cheapest. The large quantity we supply for
A dollar brings it within the reach Of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEvRA
AND AGuB prevails, every body should have il
and use il freely both for cure and protection
Il is hoped this price will place it within the
reach Of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure Of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently 1t pro-
duces no auinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequences
Of the miasmRtic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection Of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement Of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CURR" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to imm-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves of the protection this remedy af-
fordI.
