well known for weeks that some sixty Indians

doubt. That agabond white men in certain Sec

enemy with ammunition, there are enough who
believe That there are white men who live
with Digger squaws, and continually harbor

Il anything, even more distressing details of
savage ba:barity come from our ncghborin~
counties. II the Shasta C5art.r Of Sept. 9th
we find the announcement Of the murder Of mar
~ whole family BY the savage foe. The house
Of Wm. Allen who lives on Big Cow Creek, 80
miles from Shasta, was attacked hy Indians on
the sth his wife an two children killed, and an
other child so badly injured that there was little
hope OF life. Henry Winkle, who came from
Shasta on Monday, tells Us that those who visit
Cd the scene Of murder describe the spectacle as
most appalling. After being shot the poor wo-
man had battled bravely to save her little ones.
Her hands, clenehed in death, were filled with
hair anl beads, torn from the persons Of the saw
age hrutes in her dying struggle.
In tie HuEabollt Times Of last week we find
communication from Orleans Bar, dated Aug.
33th, which gives the p rtcnars OF another ia
human II uurQeT Dy 4 young lhulhh- y ilt.Ie -
phan boy named Tarian was left alone at the
house OF his guardian, eli aht miles above Orleans
Bar, for few hours. The occupants nna!iy re-
turned but the little fellow was missing, and
rife and some ammunition left in the house we're
gone Suspicion Immediately rested on young
Indian, who was known to have passed that way
party from Orleans Bar, under Sheriff Brown,
went in search of the child, and number Of In
dians started after dark in pursuit Of the suppos-
ed depredater, who was taken and delivered up
the next day. We let the correspondent tell Of
the finding of the child: 50 After little per-
suasion the Indian took them FIRST 10 the place
where he had cached the rife, then TO gulch a.
bout one hundred yards below the house, where
he had buried his poor little victim. When the
body was dragged from beneath innl ense pile
OF stones, with the skull shockingly crushed in,
apparently with hntchet there was rot dry
eye among that rough, siout-heaFted pa.ty OF

hibited the most stoicai Indifference, and even

Tie last outrage we have heard Of IS mar
rated ia the Copper City P.onec7 Of the 10th, the
editor Of that paper helng one OF the party WAC
visited the scene Of murder. Mrs. Jones, resil-
ing about four miles from Copper CITY, was muF-
dercd the day following the killing oi Mrs Alien
aud children, and it is supposed by the same
band of Indians ride shot had killed her,
after which her face and head were mutilated IN
the most horrible manner. \ little CIR! who was
Evus at the house saved herself by hiding IN
the bushes near by and finally escaped to fao
house Of Mr.. G. Belcher, about D.ile distant.
The Indians carried off or destroyed everything
of value which the premises contained.
Let those who sympathjse with Indians read
the above bloody record, and then ask theE'-
selves what incentive, further than rai:rai saf-
