TERRIBLE OPERATIONS AGAINST THE
INDIANS.
EXCISE For THEM.

From The ST. Louis Republican,
The Humboldt Times states tina. the massacre OF
Indiana on Indian Island was committed by an I'M
known party At the same time the ranches on South
Beach were attacked and the entire population exeer
minated. A considerable number OF Indians on Eei
River were slaughtered at the same ums Inc kuilng
appears to have been principally with knives and
haichets, or axes. The whole number killed at the
different places Saturday night cannot Tall below
$50, including bucks, squaws, and children.
These Simultaneous attacks, at different pons, snow
clearly that this plan of operations against the ln
dams has been adopted by large number Of people in
that country, and that they act in concert II gene
rsly supposed that the sufferers from Indian depreda
tons in the Bald Hills, on Eel River, and the lower
part of the county, are at the bottom OF It.
The Times admits that there Is considerable excite
ment regarding the massacre, but offers some excuse
on the ground that the settlers who have suffered from
Indian depredatons have become perfectly desperate.
They have had friends and relatives cruelty and saw
" agely butchered, their homes made desoste, and
their hsrdearned property destroyed by these sneak
" ing, cowardly wretches; and when an attempt Is
" made 10 hunt them from their hidBg-places In the
" MONTANA, TO administer merited punishment upon
90 them they escape to the friendly ranches on the
coast for protection Standing under these great and
that would otherwise be unustfable, but cannot
approve of the ndscrminate slaughter OF helpless
infants and defenseless squaws."
The same paper says: large ranch Of Indians,
above Eagle Prairie, on Eel River, was attacked ON
Wednesday morning, and twehty-six Diggers, mostly
bucks were killed, and among them some that were
known TO be desperate villains. On Thursday night
snotber ranch, opposite the Slide" was attacked,
but we have not learned how many were killed or
taken Washettes, noted rascal lie, how sver, known
to be killed.
We learn from The Times of the 10Th inst that the
guns from the State Arsenal intended for Capt Wghts
Volunteers had arrived and woud be sent out to Eel
River The citizens have furnished supplies for thirty
DAYS more TO the Volunteers the end Of which time,
if no aid or announcement is received from the Sta o,
it ia the intention of the company TO assist the settlers
in removing their families and what stock they may
have left to some other qusrter The finest section Of
grazing country In California will then be abandoned
to the Indiana.

woman in the Hour of Trouble.

In no condition Of life is the worth OF
woman more eminentIy displayed as when
misfortune presses on the partner OF her
Joys and sorrows. 1t would seem as
thoagh it required the rough contact OF
difficulty, trouble and danger TO give 'ha'
respIemdent polish TO virtue with which
the iairyr portion of creation are endowed
In prosperity woman is gentle compan-
!op, in The every day struggle Of life she
is conflding friend, but in adversely she
is an angel. Man leaves his fellow man
TO fight The worli as best he may; il he
sees him pressed down by atllcllon, he
passes him by without scarcely turning
his heal, and leaves him TO suffer in soll-
tude. One of his dear friends in the hour
of need forgels him, another berays him,
and another will assist by al unkind word
to keep him down in the mire, or by
spurning him with contempt give another
pang to his already breaking heart But
how is it with woman? She never de-
ser,s him. In the hour of trial she is by
his side; she weeps with him, she COM
Sorts him, she soothes him, she patiently
bears all those little ebul!iliOns Of tenn
per which misfortune engenders, she re-
turns a smile for harsh words, and minis
,ers to his wants, utlerl y regardless OF her
own. And on the fist break in the cloud
of their misfortune, through which SIN
gle ray OF hope can penetrate, II Is reflect
ed by her countenamce. and she bresthes
of hope, happiness and returning prosper

While there remains one single cloud IN
The horizon of their lives she never leaves
her husbands side, but her life becomes
one long act Of love, compassion and duty.

pose in the grave, she clings to his memo

tomb with her.
