NEW YoRK FASHION GossIP.-The New
York correspondent of the Charleston Mercu-
ry furnishes the following paragraph, con-
cerning hats and cravats;
A word about mems fashions. The ten
dency, of late years, you know, has been to-
ward the outre English style. The Princes
visit has done something to encourage this
imitation of the Anglican modes, even to the
extent of copying the abominable hats which
everybody in the Royal party wore, from
the Prince downward Such collection Of
shocking bad hats was never seen, except on
scarecrows in a cornfied They all had
wide brims, or else turned up awkwardly at
the edges, and had dull lustre, as if they
had been extensively rained upon. The
Dukes hat was eminently seedy, and no New
Yorker, with the slightest regard for his rep
utation, would have been hired to wear 1t
down Broadway The Earl of St Germans
supported q still shabbier tile of the bell top
pattern. Lord Lyons castor had decided
appearance ofhaving been sat on several
times and then punched out into rude re-
semblance ofits original shape which was a
very bad one. The younger members of the
party exhibited slightly advanced taste in
respect to thr hats, but there was not one
among the whole collection which an Amer
lean halter would have dared to send out of
his store as a specimen of his own manutac-
ture. Such ape-lke mimies are many of our
fashionable young fellows, however, that
copies of these atrocious hats are already be-
ginning to supplant the light, shining top
piece, which it has hitherto teen the pride
of New York youth to wear. The turn down
collar and thickly folded eravat, exhibited by
the Prince and the juveniles of his party,
are also beginning to be affected by the
ready copyists of Broadway. The Prince
has given the coup de grace to French male
fashions among us. With this exception,
there is nothing new in the fall modes of this
metropolis

MORE OF THE IMMIGRANT MAssAcRE.-A cor
respondent of the Portland (Oregon) Adver-
tiser writing from the Dales of the recent
massacre by Indians of an immigrant train,
gives the following as the language of one of
the saved
"After the soldiers left us, felt very bad
as the indications were Ominous One lady
expressed her belief that she would not go
much farther. True for her. she was killed
next morning, together with her husband and
three children. This occurred two weeks af.
ter the soldiers left US. The Indians visited
us every day. We had four soldiers with us
but they were deserters, and left us. One of
them was killed in our presence and another
named Snider took his money and papers,
and is supposed to have made off with his
companions After they had left, the Indians
made a rush, and cutting the wagon covers,
shot their arrows through the openings Sew
eral were killed in that manner. One boy
killed or 10 Indians with his rifle, but was
himself afterwards killed. We had to aban
don the wagons, and from that time we had
no provisions for 45 days until we were dis
covered by the troops Four of the party
were captured by the Indians three of them
were girls and one boy. One of the glrls
was Is years old. l do not know whether
they are alive or not they were carried to
Snake river. We travelled 90 miles from the
place of massacre to where we were encamp-
ed when found. We were then subsisting up
on dead body. The Indians at that place
gave us salmon for our clothes. We thought
some of the Indians engaged in the massacre
were among them. When we arrived at the
place of massacre we found bones hung on
the trees and written upon them a notice to
the effect that "a train was ahead l3 days );
that one of their men had been killed that
morning, and warned us of danger Three
of the children died of starvation. We had
made up our minds to kill one of the little
boys next day for food, if not rescued He
is here now. The bones of children who
died were scattered about The dead body
of one of the men was partly devoured; his
wife partook of portion. When Capt Dent
went into the little willow camp we had
erected, the children hung on to him, begging
food; bread, bread, they cried The sol
diers threw themselves down and wept, and
it was as much as Capt. Dent could do to re-
frain from giving food to us. We got lit
tie first, and in short time we were able to
move around. We are all saved now."

"The man employed to copy the census re-
turns of Hennepin West, absconded with the
originals and the copies. and if they are not
found the aensns will have to be taken again.
1t is supposed that his object was to keep
them, with the view of getting large sum
of money for their delivery. We learn that
warrant has been issued for the arrest of
the culprit; and that officers have gone be-
low to find him."
The scamp above mentioned went to Chi

were on the point of arresting him when he

The NEGROES at VIcroRIA.-The Victoria
correspondent of the Bulletin, mentions the
outrage committed by the negroes in break.
ing into the theatre at that place, and adds
The fact is, that the "Negro Rifle Crop"
of which formerly wrote you, is the centre
of this disgraceful affair. Members of that
company publicly declared that they were
contemplating the descent upon the theatre,
and that they would go there prepared and
force their way in. This "crop" is compos.
ed entirely of colored people, and they are
burning to show their patriotism. They
drill and carry their muskets through the
streets at night, without hindrance from the
Government. They boast of their strength
and since the riot one of the members of the
company has stated that they can muster 25O
fighting men, here and at Salt Spring Island.
every one of whom will fight to the death
and that they can hold out one full week
against anything that can oppose them. 1t
is thus evident that they have talked the
matter over, and made their calculations
and shall not be surprised to learn of some
serious disturbance before great while, un-
less the Government at once disbands the
"crop" and suppresses their organization.
And doubt not but these black ruffians
would willingly and legally enact toward

act counterpart of those horrd butcheries
which were enacted in the East Indies. |
have heard some of them utter sentiments of
this character, and believe that nothing
would be too revolving for them TO under,
take, if they could only find fitting occa
SION without the pale Of the law. But while
this is so, the feeling Is uniustified, so far as
any act on the part Of the Americans is con
cerned. They have not meddled with anv
matters whatever in regard to negro liberty.
politics, or anything else of a public charac-
ter. All the offense of the Americans lies in
this: that the blacks who have come hither
have got beyond all reason. Their "unre-
strained liberty" as they call it has spoiled
them, and they act with the most unbeoom-
ing impropriety. They swell and strut and
put on more frills and airs than thousand
turkey goblers; and if we should Judge
from their actions, the white race and oil the
rest of the world are only fit to be their SER

Harper had the little finger of the right hand
blown off, also the thumb and two first ting.

He also received severe wound in the left
thigh, and was otherwise manned and bruis-
