Indian Murders.

We have learned from Mr.. Lockhart, of
Pit River, the details of the murder of two
men, named Bailey and and Irwin, and the
dangerously wounding of two others, by the
Goose Lake and Pit River Indians, at point
on the old Lassen trail 20 miles north of Fort
Crook.
1t appears that these Indians had learned
that company of white men were about to
enter their country with view of prospect
ing for gold and silver ore, and they armed
themselves for the purpose of preventing the
execution of the design. Instead, however,
offalling in with this company, they came in
contact with the Oregonians of which Bailey
and Irwin were members, on their way from
Willamette Valley to Washoe, by the old
trail east of the Sierras. The company num-
bered 78, including a female, and nearly
1000 head of cattle, some valuable horses and
wagons, with the other appliances necessary
for the journey. The attack was unexpected,
and made by two hundred warriors, and the
remainder of the company had great difficult
in making their escape. Animated with the
common feelings of humanity, the first OBJ
ject was to provide for the safety of the fe-
male, and that secured, they made their es-
cape the best way they could, taking their
wounded companions, who have been left at
Fort Crook, where they are receiving all the
care and attention that science and humanity
can confer.
On receipt of the intelligence the COM
manding officer at Fort Crook at once dis
patched 25 regulars and 20 volunteers to the
scene of the catastrophe with the view of Sc
curing the property and Furnishing the vile
authors of the massacre. We hope they will
fall in with them, and that success will at
tend the expedition.
P.S. Since the above was written we have
received, through the Yreka Journal, a more
detail ed account of this affair. The party
were from Rogue River, Oregon, and the
name of one of the murdered men Evans, in.
stead of Irwin, as our informant stated. The
soldiers found the bodies of both the muir
dcred men, who were lying close to each 9th
er, and had been pierced with many arrows
VIC also learn that it is the intention of the
settlers on PIT River to commence war Of
indiscriminate determination against those
savage brutes.

New Books.

This may be regarded as the age OF new
books; but we are by no means certain
that it is also the age of good books
There is a tincture of cant and a positive
unsoundness about modern books, that rem !
der them often worthless purchase
Now days man wants, instead of col
lection, selection Of books he must buy
with great care, and even then he will, in
few years, find upon his shelves good
deal of trash.
There are some volumes, thank fortune,
now beyond the reach of the touch of de-
Element, some books which we can put in.
to the case with a feeling that in them VIC
have the truth gathered and sifted by a
master man whose object was net to
make book merely, but to discuss great
question, to elicit truth, and to state con-
scientiously and honestly the facts, without
theory to support, or cause to defend ,or
a rival to defame.
Such a man was Henry Hallam, and
such books are his "View of the State of
Europe during the Middle Ages" of "The
Constitutional History of England" and
Of Literary History of Europe in the 18th
10th & 18th Centuries" Three works, of
which it has been said, that "either is of
sufficient merit to confer upon the author
literary Immortality" A remark which
has been endorsed by every man who has
ever read the works in question.
Messrs. Crosby, Nichols, Lee & Co. No.
III Washington street, Boston, have just
issued, from the Riverside Press, the finest
edition of the "NIiddlo Ages" we have ev.
er seen. III is reprinted from the latest and
best London Edition, and contains the au-
thor's last rev,ions and corrections. Hen
ry Hallam is dead land we have his works
now, as he intended they should remain,
and they are undying monuments of his
honesty, of his patient research, and learn
ing.
No library is complete without these
great historical works, and we advise ev-
cry man to secure copy of the one just
issued. 1t is in three vols. and in styles
from sl,25 per vol. to $3.50 per VOL
This is to be followed Immediately, by the
other two above mentioned, in the same
styles, and prices, the second in three and
the third in four volumes.
The history of Europe during the Mid
die Ages comprises an account of the man
ner of living, the conveniences and com.
forts, and social and political standing
of the people. The feudal laws-the cru
sadcs-the chivalry or Knighthood-the
superstitions wars, marriages and
daily life of people hundreds of years ago.
The descriptions of the houses and furni-
ture of the great and rich, of men whose
names are historical, of Kings and Queens,
and palaces and castles and towers, read
like romance; and yet arc sober and
substantial facts. See that you got and
study carefully, the great Historical works
of Henry Hallam.

D1- Apropos of female Postmasters,

B1- Apropos of female Postmasters,
Holh ook's Mail tells the following anec-
dote of the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson:
GA Post Office not far from his resi-.
dence becoming vacant, lively contest
sprung up for the appointment, and among
the applicants was a Mrs. Nancy W,
Congress being in session at the time, the
worthy Senator, in accordance with usage
in such cases, was requested to call
at the Department to look at the pa
pers in the case in hand. The re-
quest was promptly coupled with, and
the documents were duly inspected, not
without some perplexity in the mind of the
Senator; for two of his personal and po.
litical friends, both highly respectable and
competent men, were, as appeared from
the papers about meek and neck, in the
race for office, so far as influential sigma
lures ca either side could make them SO.
But suddenly a light dawned upon the Sen
ator. A neatly-written note in a lady
handwriting came to view, applying for the
office in her own behalf, and giving
but a single name as reference, and
that the name of the honorable Sen
ator himself. He had known her deceas-
ed husband intimately and most favorably
for many years, and was no stranger to
the young widow herself. After mo-
ment's reflection he carefully returned the
delicate missive to its place, and made the
following laconic Endorsement upon the pa
pers 4 go for Nancy Nancy was of
course, appointed, and is still faithfully
serving the public in the capacity of Post
mistress"
Of course Lincoln will turn Nancy out,
having already served several democratic
Postmistresses that scurvy trick.
