~- MURDERED BY ISDIANs.--

ray MURDERED BY INDIANs.---The
EeJraskian learns from the Kearney City
Herald of the It'll, the particulars of q
late murder by the Indians near kearney
City. 1t appears that man named Smith
and two sons, and also son Of one of his
neighbors, were cutting wool in the tim
Der, when they were attacked by party
Of Indians, supposed to be six or seven in
rumber who came upon them with bows
and arrows, spears and clubs.
The man and three boys were unarmed.
There was no knowledge of any hostile
feelings on the part of the Indians, and
there had been no Indians ia this vicinity
for some time pas. The settlers around
were pursuing their peaceful avocations,
not thinking there was any danger. ;.
The Indians came suddenly upon the
man and boys, and shot their arrows into
them. To make their work sure they af
forwards speared them, and one of the
BOYS when found, who had evidently tried
to crawl away in the brush, hal his skull
beat in with q club. The tracks were seen
in the snow, where the Indians had headed
the poor little fellow to stay his further
progress.
Mr.. Smith was former resident Of In
diana. He was very much respected BY
his neighbors, and had seen service i'll the
Mexican war The Indians are believed
20 be Sioux. One of the boys killed was
ten, and one fourteen years Of age. As
soon as the news of the murder became
known, messengers were dispatched to Fit.
Kearney, and the commander Of that post
started a number of soldiers in pursuit of
the murderers.

Why Europe Desires the Indepen-
dencs Of the south.

Hitherto fortune seems to favor the Con
tederate States. They have ether unac
countably succeeded in enlisting the sym
pathes of European nations. This cer-
tainly is due less to their own merits than
to the dement's of their adversaries. A
priori one would no, have expected that
the slave owners of South Carolina, il
their strugg le TO maintain in its purest
form the Institution of slavery, wouli have
gained larger share of popular favor
on this side of the Atlantic than their ag-
gressors. But so i, u.s. The majority wish
that the seeding States may be ultimately
successful Nor is the apparent anomaly
inexpicable. The points at issue are not
in truth slavery or abolition. The s'rug,
gle as correctly stated by Eat Rassa,., IS
for empire on the part OF the North for
independence on that Of tbs South 1t is,
then, this struggle for independence by
the Confederate states which has enlisted
the sympathas Of many amongst us, aud
though il is impossible to ignore the exis-
tence Of the institution with which they
have identified themselves, still it is inn
possible to shut our eyes to the degraded
position in which the emancpa,ed slave
and his desce ndan,s in the most distan.
