A You've HERO.-As Lieutenant Mowry and a
companion were approaching Gia Bend, they met
with a surprise of a novel character. At some
hundreds of feet from the station, quite near the
road, was suspended from tree the corpse Of an
Indian. 1t appears that one month since Gila
Bend was Inhabited only by a single family--an
aged American, and his two sons, of whom the
eldest hardly fifteen years old, and servant.
On a certain night the inhabitants of the station
were awakened by the well,known war cry of the
Apaches, and soon discovered that the house was
surrounded. The establishment being simply con-
structed of the branches and leaves of trees like
Gila City itself and the majority Of the other sta
tions, the dangers environed the inhabitants, now
attacked by some five hundred yelling and frantic
savages, may be imagined. Not hoping to escape,
the men and boys armed themselves and awaited
the attack. They were saved in the moment of ex-
termination by dead shot from the rife of the
eldest boy, which cut short the life of the chief
upon which the whole turned and took to flight
The corpse suspended to adjacent tree, and
the spos of war; the arrows, head-dress, and other
personal property of the deceased warrior, were
preserved by the brave little fellow as memorials
of the fight.
CoEnCIoN ExPLoDED.-We take the following
from the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, of the
28th ut:
"IIow stands the case? ? The Federal Govern
ment has only 1000 troops at the utmost to send to
one point, and Gen. Scott would have the pleasure
of knowing that those 1000 commanded by
officers whose fidelity to Black Republican bchests
is at least questionable The United States army
has lost third of the best and bravest of its oii
GERS Four-ffths of the remainder are known to
have declared that they would in no event be in
ducad to meet their former comrades in battle
array. The Federal Government has no arms no
Ships no money, no anything with which to wape
a successful war. We have arms for every man in
the Confederate States; we have no commerce to
protect, for our carrying is to be done by English
and French merchantmen, protected by English
and French navies, far cheaper than it was ever
hvt he and how aptT alyl q
and faithful laborng population, who will, by their
labors in the and cotton fields, enable us to
send nine-tenths of our mae population to the
battlefield"
JAMES BUCHANAN AT HoME.-The Ex-President,
after the exciting of the last iour years, ap-
pears to enjoy the quiet repose OF Wneatlahu'-
Since resuming the duties of private ne, ne mas
evinced no disinclination to mlngle Win society.
Whatever political faults may be laid at the door
of Mr.. Buchanan, want OF hospltalty Is not one OF
his traits Quite recently, the committee which
arcompanied him on the trip from w ashington to
lancaster received an invitation to visit the home
stead, and were entertained by the Ex-President
ond Miss Lane TO those disposed to converse on
sueh matters, Mr. B. very freely expresses his dis
annroyal of the course of Floyd. He defends stren-
uously the policy pursued during the close of his
Administration, insisting that it was the only true
one to avoid the shedding of fraternal blood.
Numerous absurd rumors were circulated during
the public career of Mr. Buchanan, in reference to
a personal antipathy alleged to exist among the
people of Lancaster county These idle stories were
no less painful to their object than they libel
lOus to the residents of Lancaster, whose preten-
sons to courtesy and generosity too well es-
tablished to allow the belief for moment that they
would countenance any dsrespect 20 the Ex-Presi-
dent of the United States-PhH. Inquirer.
About two years ago, man was convicted, at
Pittsburg, Pa, of stealing, and sent to the penl-
tentary for term, which expired last week. lie

left her, but found that she had tired of waiting
for him and had married again. When he found
how matters stood he proposed that It the usurper
of his rights would give him thirty-hye dollars In
Tho money was paid and he left for parts unknown.
