STILL ANOTHER MURDER BY INDIANs.-On
Sunday evening last an attack was made by In
dians on three men who were living in house
on Van Duzen creek AS we understand our in.
formant, the circumstances are about as follows
Messrs Coats, Bartlett and another man were
herdng stock on a ranch near the creek named
and occupied the house. A short time before
sunset, Goats went short distance from the
house where he was fred upon by Indians. Sew.
eral balls took effect causing almost instant
death. When the two men in the house heard
the firing, they caught their guns and rushed out
to the protection of Goats, who was not armed
The Indians fired upon them as they came out,
infoing flesh wounds on Bartlett. Their fire
was returned until the Indians retreated, leaving
one OF their number dead on the ground. There
were about twenty five Indians in the band
About halt OF them were armed with rifles, and
they were all tolerably we'll dressed in white
mems clothing.
We also bear that house was. burned at Lara
bees ranch on the same day, together with lot
of grain 10 the shock. The details of this affair
we have not heard.-Humtoidt Times.

Our Union has been considerably thinned. and
many members seem disprited. Several of our
papers have already suspended, most of the book
and job Offices are closed, while the Picagune
Bee and Crescent have been reduced. Nearly
half the papers in the seeded States have ceased
to arrive; the other half are mostly issued 10 a
reduced form and are pite0usly wailing for cash.
The Register and the Advertiser, ut Mobile, have
been merged-and printers, as dernier resort
for bread, have been driven into the great
COrn-fed-er ate army. Many publications have
been stopped for want of paper a few for lack
of ink but more from the " shorts" in financial
phraseOlogy. And if the blockade continues
much longer two-tbirds of all the newspapers of
the Southern Confederacy will have been forced
out of existence.

ARMY STATIsTICs--The largest armies ever
assembled on this continent were those engaged
at the battle of Bulls Run, in which were nearly
100000 men engaged. In the French and En-
glish war of l774-63 the British army OF $1,000
men under General Aberorombie, which attacked
Ticonderoga, was the largest army formed during
the war. During the Revolution the British
force which attacked New York numbered 80 600
and the American force which was driven from
that place, consisted of 27 900 all told. though
but little over half were fit for duty. The Ame-
rcan force which compelled the British to evacu-
ate Boston, numbered 10000. Wasbington's
force at Yorktown which captured the army OF
CORVALLIS, consisted Of 10000 French and Anne
rcans. In the war of 1872, the British force
which attacked New Orleans numbered l4.000
men. In the Mexican war neither Gen. Scott or
Gen. Taylor had at any time under bis command
more than $4,000 troops, while the Mexican army
during the war did not exceed 22, 900 men. The
Mexcahs however, were always greatly superior
to the Americans, usually being twice or thrice
their number.

The LATE CoMET.-The american Journal ot
Science and Arts says, observation made by Lieut.
Gillis and Professor Robinson, U. S. n, at Wash
ington. as we'll as by Professor Hubbard and Mr.
Ferguson, demonstrated eoncusively that this
comet is not only not the comet of 1856, called
Charles Vth's, but that this is its first appearance
its debut. In this conclusion the distinguish ed
astronomer, Mr.. E. p. Bond, of Harvard cOncurs.
He estimates the breadth Of the bead of this
comet at the nucleus, at 100000 miles, the hight
OF the inner envelop at 1880 miles, and the
length of the tail at A. 600. .000 miles The cred
it of the discovery of the comet Dr. Bond awards
to DR.. Brunnon, of the Ann Arhor (Mich.) Oh

description of the various fresh regiments going

fame of enthusiasm to protect the Government,
that we venture to say is quite unparalleled in
the history of cities. So much for the city. Now
look over that great State. 1t has the aspect Of
lion reused from its lair. Hundreds of cities
and of towns are, in proportion to their means,
as full of devotion TO the sacred cause of country
