HAYrL-See, on our first page, the circular,
inviting emigration to Hayti, issued by an
agency established in this city.
The recent movements of Spain upon San
Dominica, the object and nature of which are
very imperfectly understood, have created an
apprehension that Hayti may be made the OBJ.
jsct of attempted conquest by Spain, or France.
Such apprehensions are altogether groundless,
and, indeed, there is no nationality anywhere
more entirely secure from the dangers of for
eign attack than that Of Hayti, as has been
demonstrated by more than half century Of
exemption from it. In addition to the general
sentiment Of the civilized world, that the black
race ought to be undisturbed in this little spo,
which they have made their own by so many
titles, are the more powerful considerations
connected with the geographical position Of
Hayti, which would combine against any mari
time Power which should attempt its conquest,
the resistance of all the other Powers having
similar objects and interests. OF all the dan.
gers which menace Hayti, that of foreign inva,
sion is the most remote.

SENAToRIAL.-It is a remarkable iact that
should not escape the attention of members of
the Legislature, who mean to adhere to their
oath of office to support the Constitution OF
the United States, that, the great majority of
those who are now voting against bringing on
the election of Senator, deny the power of
the Federal Government to coerce State, and
are in fact dsunionists. They are Union men,
they say, but deny the right of the Union to
resist the secession Of a State. This position
opens the way for disruption of the Govern
ment, by giving every right to State, and
not even the right to collect the revenue to the
General Government. A failure to elect a
them towards secession and Pacific Republic
In the present state of affairs if there arc men
enough in the Legislature, who are Union men
in reality, it is their duty to elect a Senator,
who is for the Union, no matter what his poll
tics may have been heretofore. If they shall
have been Democratic, so much the better. II
he never had any politics, so be it; only that
he be a Union man, believing that the Govern
ment founded by our forefathers has the right
and power to maintain its existence. Union
men who believe that the Federal Government
has no power to prevent State from seizing
the property Of the Federal Government and
converting it to their own uses, are what might
be termed "pusillanimous disunionists," and
should they prove numerous enough in the
Legislature TO prevent the election of a Sena-
tor this winter to succeed Gwin, they will fur
nish aid and comfort to the rebel secessonists,
compel the State to aid in rebel movement,
and will deserve to be hung as traitors
Would the Union men in the Legislature
properly view this subject, they would imme-
diately choose a Senator.

From the Mesilla Times, of January 10th,
we get the following items
During the absence of the Rangers the citi-
zens of Pine Alto were visited several times by
Indians, who took horse or mule each time.
At ranch owned by Abadi & Co., they took
fifty head of cattle. They were pursued seYe-
raj days, but finally made their escape with the
property. Two nights afterwards the same
place was again attacked, and they took some
forty head, but were overtaken by Mr. Abadi
and the stock recovered. He also succeeded
in obtaining one horse belonging to the Apach-
eS
About fifty men left Las Cruces last Mon
day for the Organos Mountains in search Of
Indians. A party have been lately seen in
one of the canons, with a large amount of stock
probably stolen from the surrounding ranches

THE MASSACRE AT WILLIAMS STATIoy.-
A correspondent of the Territorial Enterprise,
writing from Ragtown, gives the following as
the Indians story of the massacre at Williams
Station, on Carson River, which was the COM
mencement of Indian hostilities in that region:
"The Indians story of the massacre at Will
liams' Station is, that one of the men there
bought a horse of one of about twenty 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 tie 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, and
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 went about half way to it when
he was shot in the neck, and as he reached the
bank of the river, was shot through the head.
They say that Dick Snowden was taken into
Oregon by the Oregon Indians. We fear the
Indians are mistaken.-ED. They further
say that Mike Bushy was shot in a ravne,
about six miles north of Williams Station.
and that he commenced shooting first. Bill
Aliens horse was killed and eaten.

shook hands with him, Mr.. Paschal remarking
that her hands were very cold. Yes, they
are cold, was the reply, land yours will be soon
Brother, in month | will return and take you
with me-" Mr.. Paschal related his dream,
without seeming to be apprehending anything
further. But, strange to say, he sickened, and
on Friday, November 30th he died. The
neighbors who were present at the time of the
dissolution, affirm that there was, at the mo-
ment, whrlwind upon the top of the house,
which threatened to tear the roof off, but was
visible at no other place.

not deny, to bringing about the destruction Of
