The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1861-02-21

THE SAME SoRr.-A few days since a
prominent Democratic politician OF Ro.
chester was holding forth to group of
persons, about the political troubles at
the South. and in the course of his re-
marks, said that if an attempt was made
to compel the people of South Carolina
'to-obey tha laws, he would shoulder a
-musket, and 60 down there to aid the
traitors. At this, enc Of the men who
were present, rem arked that he was 60
ing home TO sell his cattle. "Wha,
for" queried the sanguinary Democrat.
"To keep such men as you from steal
ing them" was the reply. +" The tories
Of the Revolution were cattle thieves,
and their successors of the present day
are not likely to be more honest
So saying. the indignant patriot walked
of. leaving his Democratic antagonist
to digest the retort as best be might.

A New way to Pay old Debts.

Florida got rid Of her Territorial deb,
by<coming into the Union; and now there
seems to be very proper determination
among the Southern States, in anticipation
OF the new Codfederacy. to prepare for
the partition OF Florida between Geor-
gia and Alabama. The absorption Of
the State would shuttle off her bonded
State debt; and in this connection it is a
significant fact that nearly all the seces-
sion troops at Pensacola are from Ala
bama. Query? What will be the value
" Florida is thus partitioned) of the
Florida bonds purchased by the late Sec
retary Thompson for the Indian Trust
fund?

A CALMi

The excitement Of q few weeks has
been succeeded by general calm. and
il NAV be that this quiet is the
precursor Of terrific storm. While tho
seeding states are quietly constructing
and perf.cting asystem OF general gov
ernment for the southern Confederacy.
there seem. to be but little disposition on
the part Of the men who are to control
that government to come in conflict with
the government Of the United States;and
should collision take place between the
regularly constituted authorities and the
rebels, it may be some time before Ii
viii occur. There i, now higher pow
er than the state government OF South
Carolina to which the several states Of
the bogus confederacy will be compelled
to bow; and as this power is ir tho hands
of cooler and more conservative men,
than the crazy hot heads Of the Palmetto
State, it may be possible that it will hold
tho traitors in check and that some con-
siderable time will elapse before any ad
ditional overt act OF treason will be COM
mitted-not till after the result OF the
peace conference is made known at leas'
and the policy Of the incoming admins
aratioa is also indicated through the in
augural address Of Mr.. Lincoln.
There is a mere possibility that the
misguided men of the cotton States may
yet see the folly Of their suicidal policy
and be induced to lay down their arms
and submit to the laws of their cavern
ment, but the prospects Of an event sc
devoutly wished Tor by every lover o
his country are. to say the least OF it
exceedingly gloomy. They have declar
ed that the north can offer them no term.
that will induce them to remain IN h
Union. and how they are to succeed il
dissolving their connection with it with
out precipitating this country into revo
]ntion and civil war with all its horrible
consequences, is more .han we can di
vine;for while we believe that majority
of all parties, in this community at least
are anxious to see the troubles settled
upon some honorable basis, we thinl
there are but few who will pretend t.
Justify secession, or dissolution of thi
Union. Hence, we think that should th
Cotton States reject all overtures OF com
promise on the part Of the north, whic
we are satisfied they will, the people G
the northern states will, in that event, b
q unit upon the subject Of maintaining
the integrity of the government and th
supremacy Of the laws.

Horrible Massacre in Carson Valley.

A correspondent OF the Missouri Re
pub blican Whites from Denver CRY on the
29th ult:
A gentleman who has but recently ar
rived in this city called upon me to-day
and gave me an account of horrible
massacre on the Surplus Cut'off. about
City miles north of Salt Lake City, du>
ring the latter part Of last August A
party Of emigrants, on their way to Cali
fornia. was attacked by party of men
painted and dressed like Indians; who
rushed upon them in the night. took
them by surprise, and murdered seven
of the party: the others escaped to a
train camped back from them, on the
road. distance of ten miles. The as
sassins did not pursue them, as they
probably knew OF the other company.
a nd were afraid Of encountering them.
Among those murdered was Mr.. Ste
venson. formerly resden, Of Lawrence,
Kansas. and his ne;ce. Miss Lizzie Ste
venson. young lady sixteen or eighteen
years OF sge. Mrs. Stevenson, wife OF
the murdered man. begged of the sava-
yes not to kill them; one of them replied
in good English, ''lhat they were deter
mined to kill them sll" He then level
led his rifle and shot Mrs. s., which took
effect in her right hip. supposing her to
be dead they left her. Catching up the
infant son Of woman they had already 5
killed, they struck its arms and legs of
with knife. and then threw the SUI
ferer into the bushes by the wayside t.
die. r5-
The next morning The bodies of seven
persons were found and properly inter.
red; two of the comp any were missing
whom they supposed to have been taken
of as captives. Mrs. Stevenson was
found alive; her wounds were cared Tor
and at last accounts she was at Carson
Valley, kindly attended by the settlers
there.
When found. the corpse Of Miss Ste
venson bore unmistkable evidence of hav
ing been outraged by those bloody fends.
under whose cruel torture she died. HeI
clothing had been drawn up over hel
head and securely fastened.

King Cotton Growing Hungry.

The Southern Cultivator, an old and
respectable agricultural paper issued at
Augusta Georgia, says:
1--WE have been suddenly brought in
to q position which suggests grave prob
abilities of war. We are therefore arm
ing. But we labor under a greater def.
cheney than the want of arms. 1t is the
want OF bread. The State of Georgia
has not now grain enough within her
limits to feed her population a md dome s.
tic animals until the gathering of the
next crop. 1t is presumed that the rest
Of the cotton States are in a similar con-
dition. Last year we obtained our sup
plies from the northwest. 1t may be
that our currency may be IN a conli,ion
TO prevent this supply. except at ruinous
sacrifices. 1t may be that we shall be
cut off from it altogether. This is prob-
able. unless these supplies are immedi
ately procured. We sre presenting in
Georgia at this moment, the anamulous
spectacle OF people having upwards o
twenty millions OF dollars worth OF the
earth's products for sale, yet requiring
a large proportion of the results Of the
sale TO buy the common necessaries o
life. which are also the produces OF the
soil 1t we were to write until dooms-
day in advocacy of mixed hushandry
we could not utter language so forclbl'
as that which is uttered by the rresen
crisis. We are surprised. We are
caught unprepared We have much to
sell. nobody TO buy, AMI little to eat ane

These are fatal admissions to be made
in the presence of an enemy; and ye
they may be more useful in cisarmins
attack than the assumption OF iormida
