INDIAN oUTBREAK-HoRRID
MASS ACRE

TelegraPhic dispatches from Virginia City. under
date Of the sth instant, state that horrid murder
was perpetated the night previously By the Indians
below the Great Bend Of the Carson. Mr.. J. Will
Jams brought the intelligence Of the murder Of his
two brothers and Eve other white men, and the
burning Of the house After learning the perpetra.
tion Of this shocking butchery on his way up. Mr..
Williams called at two 0ther houses the opposite
side Of the river the doors were open, but loud
calling failed to obtain any signs Of life about the
premises He snpposes oil were murdered. A dis.
patch states that the Indians engaged in the muir
der are the CarsOn division VI the Pah Utes, here
tofore friendly. and numbering about $50 men, but
were reinforced by 800 more, tho whole under the
command Of n notorious rascal named Capt Ham.
They Hre all we'll armed. Much excitement pre-
walls in the different mining camps, and commit.
tees have been appointed to- make arrangements for
the organization Of companies ~ volunteers to pro-
tect settlers and warn parties in the mountains,
near the desert, Of their danger. Unless speedily
checked it is feared the outbreak will extend to
other tribes, and long and sanguinary war be the
result o
The Indians may destroy the stations If the Pony

what produced it must be inquired into A gentle.
man from WashOe stated in this city on Thursday,
that n fellow rode into the camp Of Wnnemuck, a
peaceaLle and venerable chief, and without the
slightest provocntiUn, deliberately shot him down.
This brutal act greatly eAasPCratcd his tribe, and
they resolved To avcngc his death. II this be so
there is some excuse for the Indians.

terms as could scarcely be applied to

q common pickpocket.' 2
- do, therefore, for reasons stated, and
in the name OF the people of the several
States, solemnly protest against these pro-
ceedlngs OF tie House OF Representative :.
because they are i'll violation OF the rights
goi the coordinate Executive branch OF the
government and subversive OF its conatitu-
stlonal independence because they are
calculated to foster band of interested
parasites and infermers, ever ready, for
their own advantage, to swear before eas
gnbrte.s committees to Pretended private
conversation between the President and
themselves, incapable, from their nature
OF being di.proved thus furnishing mate
rial for harassing him, degrading him in
the eyes OF the country, and eventually,
should he be a weak or timid man, render
ing him subservient to improper infuen-
ces, in order to avoid such prosecutions
and annoyances; because they tend to
destroy that harmonious action for the
common good which ought to be main
tanned and which, sincerely desire to
cherish, between coordinate branches
OF the government; and finally, because
if unresisted they would establish prece-
cent dangerous and embarrassing to all
my successors, to whatever political party
they mig be attached.

Impeachment of the President.

The message Of the President, remon-
strating against the assumption of the
House OF Representatives, clearly demon
strates the unconstitutional exercise OF
power on the part of that branch Of the
government, and the danger of an acqui-
escence in the positions assumed by it re-
lative to the Executive. The candor and
Justice Of the country cannot fail 20 sustain
Mr. Buchanan in his resistance to the ar
bitrary action initiated by the Black Re-
publieans, bYSappfoying Of his patriotic
effort to stay that spirit of partisan hostili-
ty which defes every principle OF equity
and constitutional law in seeking the graf
iication of its malignity. Those unscru-
puious men at Washington who are abus-
ing their temporary privileges to over
fllraNz l. -tllf lds Will
find their factious proceedings sharply re-
buked by the honest citizenssof the whole
country, and the representative OF the
people in the Presidential chair firmly sup
ported III his resistance to the illegal AFRO
gance Of his enemies The Opposition
have outraged truth and deceucy in their
desperate attempts to obtain the control
Of the country. Ii the confederacy is to.
be preserved, and the just and defined au-
thorify of the administration maintained,
a limit mast be placed upon the aggressive
insolence ofsuch agitators as now direct
the proceedings in the lower House OF
Congress. The three departments Of gov
ernment should, each, be sanctioned in
the defence of all rights, but the moment
one branch oyersteps the bounds prescrlb-
ed for it by fundamental law OF the ma
ton, the whole fabric is endangered and
an alarming stride made toward that point
where anarchy will commence. This
point the opposition appear anxious to at
tain-they are like wreckers on the coast;
they desire to see the Ship OF State strand
ed, if their own pilot be not at the helm,
that they may plunder the cargo. But
the political storm they invoke will in
vole only themselves in ruin, while the:
staunCh old bark will secure a safe an
chorage under the guidance of resolute
Democratic crew.-B0St01o Post.

A WOMAN JOINING THE SONS OF
MALTA.

The disappearance OF a man named
Curtis from GAINESVILLE Ohio, supposed to
have been spirited away and disposed Of
by the Sons of Malta, for exposing their
secrets, is explained. His wife publishes a
statement in which she says that her hus-
band left town because he was angry and
mortified at her having imposed herself
upon the sons of Malta, dressed in mans
clothes and been partially initiated. Mrs.
Curtis gives an amusing account of her ex-
perience among the Sons. She and
eighbor, Mrs. Smith, having a womanly
curiosity to explore the secrets which their
husbands would not tell them, bribed one
of the Sons to introduce them as men, for
initiation. They put on their husbands
clothes and went to the lodge-roon-. They
did not go through all the ceremonies
Mrs Curtis got only as far as being tossed
in a blanket She describes the conclu-
sion of her adventure as follows

The Supreme Court Qfthe United States
and tile Seaca2diteS.

The comprehensive philosophical states
man easily sees that the Supreme Court is
an institution Of the greatest value and
importance and none the less so from the
fact that the judges, being men, may some
times make mistakes. Never is it more
important to sustain an important depart
ment of the Government than when by
the firm discharge OF duty it has become
unpopular for the time. A judiciary is
of comparatively little value if it cannot
breast and stem the current of popular
prejudice; and never should the wise and
strong men of tie land rally to the support
of the judiciary so stoutly as when it has
made itself unpopular by the faithful per-
formance Of constitutional duty. If Mr..
Seward were the great statesman that his
admirers claim him to be, he would now
be defending the Supreme Court against
the coarse attacks of his subalterns, instead
of lending himself, in his subtle and in
sidiods way, to their aid. There is no
better proof of peoples capacity for self
government than their readiness to sub
NIT to temporary inconvenience or dis
appointment for the sake of vital prir-
ciple. Despotism, says Montesquieu, cuts
down the tree in order to gather the fruit;
radicalism sets fire to the house in order
to cure smoky chimney.-Bostoa Cou-
rser.

CHARLES F. FISHER, Eso.-The last
Greensborough Patriot, smarting under
old sores, splts FORTH another column OF
venom at Mr.. Fish er. That paper charg-
es that the n. c. Road is 'rented out" to
Mr.. Fisher, and that under this contract,
Mr.. Fisher is Transporting iron for the
Western Extension to the neglect Of
freight, &c. Now, no one will believe
this charge. The Editor of the Patriot
himself does not believe it. It is but a
continuation of the unjust warfare waged
on Mr.. Fisher, simply because he is a
Democrat, and because the Road prospers
in his hands.
Mr.. Fisher can we'll afford to disregard
these attacks. His labors, his anxieties,
his sacrifices of time and health for the
success OF the Road speak for him. The
vipers are gnawing file.
We have paid some attention to the
management OF the Railroads in this State,
and we can conscientiously say that an eff
fort would be made in vain to obtain the
services of men better qualified, Or who
would perform their duties more judi
ciously and satisfactorily than Messrs.
Fisher, Pearson, Ashe, Wilder, and Whit
ford have performed theirs. No doubt
the Presidents of new lines are doing and
will do as well as these gentlemen.-
We refer TO the latter only because four
Of the Roads have been for some time in
full operation, while the fifth (the Western
Extension) is already in use for some fifty
or sixty miles.-haleigh Standard.

A Compliment to Virginia.

We clip the following from an Editorial
correspondence OF the New York Day

queathed to us by our Revolutionary
sires:

generacy rather than the progress OF a ma

ancestors is not man- worship, and, above
all, it is not personal aduIation which
prompts it, as long as the great principles
Of which they We're the representative,
are kept in view.
We can only appreciate Washington as
we contemplate the causes which impelled
his action, and as was recurring in
Thought to the past as l trod the soll OF
that grand old State, Virginie, | could not
help rememb bering what mighty part
she has played i'll our history as "a nation.
Henry, by his electric eloquence, first
aroused the slumbering patriotism OF the
people-Jeferson embodied these thoughts
in his immortal Declaratiou-W " ashlng
ton, by his matchless skill, prudence and
sagaclty, fought out the grand result while
Madison comb bined the discordant elements
in Constitutional formule. Was there
ever single State IN ancient or modern
times, that ever achieved SO much for the
cause of liberty and humanity as Virgin
ia? | have always been broader OF the
fact that | was an American citizen than
Of any other thing in this world, but |
never before felt so proud Of it as l did
when | trod the soil of Mount Vernon,
and remembered these things. There was
but one regret mingled with it-and that
was, that l was not also a Virginian.
