ans surrounded his cabin. with their guns leveled
at It, whilst he was some four hundred yards
distant, working on road, and took possession
of al his provisions, clothing and blankets,
valued at $3.50. On Tuesday Of last week,
several armed Indians attacked a teamster
named johnson, on the Dog'ogn road leading
to Pence's, and shot him in the left arm. We
are informed by gentleman Of veraeiiy that
the Indian Agent at the Reservation has sent
word to look ont for the Indlans-that they
are about TO retarn," etc, and We learn that
Indians are becoming Numerous again in the
mountains IN the vicinity Of DOgtown and
Nimshew. This is to be regretted. as it has
been already proven by experience that the
citizens cannot live upon amicable terms with
the Indians, from the thieving and treacherous
propensities Of the latter, which are continually
involving the people in difficulties, frequently
resulting in bloodshed If Government has
az Agent employed, with the necessary funds,
to feed and take care of these Indians upon
Reservation, why is it that they are allowed to
return to the localities which have been the
scene of their former depredations? Should
another outbreak occur similar 10 that of last
year, we fear that It will be followed by much
more serious consequences. The matter should
at ehce be laid before the proper authorities.
II a DARING OUTRAGE. A correspondent
writes US, from Yankee Hill, in this county,
that, on the 25th ult., a Mexican named
Raphael was caught in the woods, about mile
from that place, by four masked highwaymen,
who, upon his refusal to inform them what
citizens of the neighborhood had money, pre-
ceeded to torture him into compliance by CON-
mencing to castrate him; when his cries for
help we're answered by another Mexican. This
alarmed the ruifians, who supposing that per
sons we're coming to.the rescue, took to their
heels. Our spoudent says this is the fourth
raid By these fends in human shape on that part
of the county; and the citizens Of Frenchtown,
Spa1ishtown and Yankee Hi have resolved
not to trouble any county officials if any OF the
guerrillas are hereafter found in that locality.
