INDIAN MASSACRE AT HUMBOLDT BAY.-From
Humboldt we learn that on Sunday, the 26th ult,
body of Eel river settlers, numbering some
forty, crossed to the South shore of the Bay and
killed all the Indians to be tound-men. women
and children-in all about eighty. The reason
given for the Wholesale slaughter is that the Bay
Indians are leagued with those Of the mountains,
and are continually killing cattle. a writer to
the San Francisco Ralietm predicts that it will
be the cause Of another speedy Indian war An
aged Indian is reported to have very gravely in
formed the citizens of Eureka that as his wife
and children had been killed, he intended to pro-
cced with the remnant Of his tribe to the noun
tains, and heuoeforth wage war against Che set
Tiers. Such a condition Of things is to be
regretted, but however iuhuman the wholesale
slaughter may be considered by would be phjlan-

the course pursued seems to have been the only
alternative, recent petitions for aid having been
totally UNDECIDED.

WEAvERvILLE. CALIFORNIA SATURDAY, MARCH 10. 1860. :

Two VIEWS OF THE CAsE--Judge Colamer,
L. s. Senator from Vermont, related to us a
good anecdote, the other day, illustrative of
Aboltionism. The morning he was leaving
home to enter upon his duties in this city,
straightfaced deacon, who looked upon the
whole South us a gteat paudemonium, called on
him aud said
"Now, Judge, l want you to do all in your
power to abolish Slavery"
l Well,N said the Judge, bow shall | pro-
ceed?"
+ " oh, | don't know but you must abolish it.
It's damuable curse, and must be abolished
ON know more about law than do The church
is my stronghold, but you understand national
matters, Judge, and can devise some p5an and
know it,
:" rhe only way see to abolish it, said the
Judge, els to buy all the slaves and set them
free"
"Wcll, 90 in for that; have law passed that
the North shall buy them, and then this trouble
will end. Yes, you go in strong for that, Judge.
"Just as you say, deacon, | will agree to it
in a moment and Will stand my share of expense
Here is Woostock with three hundred inhabi-
tants, and this town would be called on for about
six hundred thousand dolars-aud viii urge 1T
before the Senate"
The good deacon opened his mouth, then his
eyes, allowed his tongue TO escape from ono
corner of his face, scratched his head, and tapped
impatienUy on the floor with his foot, As the
Judge was leaving the room, the deacon power
Of speech came to him, and he called ont
"Oh, say, Judge, | guess you'd better let
Slavery alone. The poor black devils are better
of in the South than up here in this cold cl-
mate -

Gaarmiees-we have occasionally hut
rarely, heard the suggestion made, that the
South should demand new asi fresh guar
aniees from the North for the ialhlmcni Of
all their constitutional obligations. We
would ask the question, with all due re-
.spcct, villa, guarantees could we ask, or
expect than such as are conialncd In the
Constitution Ifilis once sac;cd insiru-
ment has ceased to be binding on the North
crn people, why should 1t be binding on
those of the South! couli any thing
he more bnding,--morc solemnly sacred
than the Constitution OF the United States,
and yet have we not seen IL violated, null
lifted, condemned and spit upon by the Re-
publicans of the North2 Shall we now
turn to them, and like fools ask them to
take w this constitution which they have
irampled in the dust, denounced MS IN

They have not regarded its obligations, nor
would they regard any other. Should they
ina. state of fright at the impending ruin,
in the event of Southern secession, make
us these guarantees, what assurance have
VIC that in very short time, they would
not plead the statute against duress, and

returns to his vomit, and the SOW to her

cations binding on honorable men. Away

SOUTHERN Pacific RAILRoAp.

1t is not easy for one unused to the COM
plications of outdoor affairs to realize tho
difficulties to be overcome in undertaking a
railroad enterprise, small or great. When,
then, a highway for the commerce of the
whole world is to be constructed, the obsta-
cles are almost infinite. All have been SUR
mounted to this time by the energy of DR..
J. Fowlkes and his associates.
We are happy in being able to state that
ear townsman, DR.. Fowlkes, arrived in the
city of Memphis, last night. He has just
received letters from French banker, who
has entered into contract for the compile
ton of this enterprise, on the part OF an
association ofcapitalists and contractors at
Paris. the ratification of which was so near
completion at latest dates as to only await
the sanction of an absent partner, daily ex-
nected This will doubtless be heard from
by the next steamer.
Col. V. X. Stevenson, Of NASHVILLE, arrived
in London as we le8rn, on the I'd inst. A
letter was yesterday morning received from
him BY Dr. Fowlkes, of that date. He had,
in the most expeditions manner, completed
the purchase Of iron for the road, for bonds.
This was at the same time tried by other
gentlemen from several States, without sue
cess. Col Stevensens acknowledged high
character for railroad and financial matters,
rendered his mission to London easy, where
all others had failed. His acceptance Of The
Presidency of the road certainly indicates
its future success he was to leave London

prnIIc MEETING IN FORT NORTH

Il
FT WoRTH, TARRANT Co., Dec. s, 1860.
Pursuant to adjournment, the citizens of
Tarrant county met at this place: to-day,
for the purpose of taking into further con-
sidcrntion the course that they should pur-
sue, resulting from the election to tile Pres
idency, by a sectional party, of Abraham
Lincoln. Cox Robert Gillespie, chairman,
then being present called Tic meeting to
order.
The following resolutions were offered
by Col Nat Terry, as substitute for q
resolution which was under consideration
at the previous meeting, which were voted
upon sirmedfim and passed vociferously.
Resolpcd, LIST That VIC believe in the SOW
ercignty of the States and in a conflict BE-
tween the Federal government, sovereign
State,-the State is lie sole .lddige not cnly
of the infraction Of the compact, but also
the sole Judge of the manner aud mode of
redress
I'd. that the question Of submission or
resistance is one 10 be decided by the pee
pie, and with that view there should be "a
State Convention, consisting of delegates
elected by the people.
Sd. That in the event the Legislature
should not be convened, or a convention
called, then the people should take the
measure of providing for q State conven-
ton into their own hands.
4th That as portion of the people of
Texas, we are unwilling to submit TO the
administration of Abraham Lincoln, and
that we will not submit.
5tl That We still have undiminished
confidence in those friends, in the Northern
States, who so heroically opposed the cleo
ton Of Black Republican candidates, but
were compelled TO yield to superior num-
hers impelled on by the lust of spoils and
plumber.
Ordered that copy Of these Resolutions
be forwarded to Ger1I Houston, and also,
with request 10 pull the editors of the
Dallas Herald and pan.
The meeting then Erned.
