The MASSACRE AT WILLIAMS STATIoN.-A
correspondent of the Territorial Enterprise,
writing from Ragtown, gives the following
as the Indians story of the massacre at Wiz
liams' Station, on Carson river which was
the commencement of Indian hostilties in
that region:
The Indians story Of the massacre at Will
liams Station is, that one of the men there
bought horse of one of about 20 Indians
who came there-the men agreeing to give
the Indian rifle and two cans of powder
The rifle was given, but upon the Indian
starting into the house for the powder, he
was turned out doors, and two big dogs set
upon him. His friends, who were near, killed
the dogs with arrows, The whites, who the
Indians say were drunk, rushed out of the
house. aud were each seized by two Indians
Fleming succeeded in getting pocket knife
out and cutting himself clear of them; he
then ran for the river, and when about half
way to it he was shot in the neck and as he
reached the bank of the river. was shot
through the head. They say that Dick Snow
den was taken into Oregon by the Oregon
Indians. We fear the Indians are mistaken
ED They further say that Mike Bushy
was shot in ravine, about six miles north Of
Williams Station, and that he commenced
shooting first. Bill Allen horse was killed
and eaten.

RELIGIOUS REvIvAL.-The Stockton Re
publican says: "There has been for some
weeks a most successful revival going on at
French Camp, five miles from Stockton. Meet
ings have been held day and night by the
Methodist North and South united, and South
Carolina has not even been thought OF. The
"boys" have taken off their coats and gone
in, and are up to their eyes IN prayer. The
whisky shops are in despair, being abandon
ed by their customers. They say that If this
sort of things is going to continue, people at
the East will go to wasting their corn by
making bread of it. instead of sending it to
the distilery. 1t is said that one of the
preachers rather "got" a weak-headed youth,
"who came to scoff" day or two since. He
said in jeering manner, TO one of the elders,
yer don't think yer can get religion inter to
me do yer2" The preacher looked at him a
moment, and sternly remarked: "Young
man, if your heart was as soft as your head
| should be sure of it," The reply was not
new, but it hit hard. There are said to have
been large number of conversions at this

WE met at q railroad depot the other day
very agreeable Mississippi gentleman, who
asked US what Kentucky would do in the pres
ent extraordinary condition of political af-
fairs. We told him that Kentucky was earn
estly devoted to the maintenance of the
Union, and that she of course disapproved
regretted and condemned the violent move
ments made in a portion of the cotton States.
lie said that the Union would of course be
dissolved, and that Kentucky would be the
last State which the seeding States would be
willing to give up, inasmuch as her bale-rope
and bagging, her bacon. and her beef were
especially necessary to them. We asked why,
If the seeding States were so anxious for the
company of Kentucky, they showed no dis
position to take council with her as to their
action He said that her whole political
course had been such that they lacked conf.
dence in her and chose TO secede by them
selves in the hope that their movement would
drag her after them We ventured TO inti-
mate that dragging was process to which
Kentucky might not very cheerfully submit
that it any dragging was to be done she
might like to do a little of it herself
We asked our Mississippi friend what his
State wished to dissolve the Union for. lie
replied that it was chiefly on account of the
refusal of the free States to send back fugi-
tive slaves and their refusal to let Southern
men travel with their slaves through their
territory. We asked whether Kentucky and
the rest of the border slave States did not
suffer more, a hundred times more from both
these causes than Mississippi or any other
State that talked of secession. He answered
oh, yes, but we feel for the interest and the
honor of the border slave States as deeply
and keenly as We do for our own.-Louisvlle

She applied to numerous places, offering her

The bill for an Act to provide for the ap-

Last Sunday, the 18th, Asa Kanyon, J.

We found there the old Wiunemucca, twenty

sire to return the stock stolen 10y the Indians
during the late war; Kanyon recovered sew
eral head Of his horses, and we have one of
Judge Browns fllies The Judges horse
was brought in by Little Natchez, who is on

sent by the old chief, who wished to come
himself, but was detained by some of the In
dians who did not want to give up the stock
The head man in opposing the return of the
stock is Buffalo Jim.
Winnemucca's plan is to take portion
say six or eight horses-from the different
bands of Indians on Walkers, Carson, True
