says: "This war must go on till the last Of
this generation falls in his tracks, and his
children seize his musket and fight our battle,
unless you acknowledge our right to self-gov-
eminent. We are not fighting for slavery.
We are fighting for independence, and that or
determination we will have" All right, JET.
Have the determination then. Let the battle

tFrom the Aarysville Appeal OF Yesterday
A Family Butehered by Indians.
SHASTA, Sept. l0.-Mr. ]. Kempt, who
arrived in town yesterday morning, informs
us that Mrs. VIM. Allen and two children
were most cruelty murdered by Indians at
their ranch, on Big Cow Creek, about eight
miles from Milleville, in this county, on the
afternoon Of Thursday. The particulars are
as follows: As one of the neighbors, 4 Mr..
Van Berry, was approaching the house on
some business, an Indian came out and COM
menced hostile demonstrations against him.
He was without weapons, and turned to flee
for safety, when he was shot with arrows, and
supposed mortally wounded. Alarm being
given, the neighbors FASTENED to the spot and
found Mrs. Allen and two children dead.
The third childis still living, but not expected
TO survive. Mrs. Allen was killed by being
shot in the head with some fire arm. The
children are supposed to have been murdered
by clubs in the hands of the fendish perpe-
traitors. Great excitement exists in the vi
cinity of the horrible butchery. The Indians
are supposed to have come from Antelope
Creek.
Another Woman Murdered.
We have Just learned from Mr.. Scotch,
Expressman from Copper City, that Mrs.
Jones, wife of Arkansas Jones, living in Bear
Valley, about FIVE miles from Copper City,
was Yesterday murdered by Indians. The
life OF little girl about eight years old was
attempted, but she managed to escape.
Jones heard the discharge Of the gun that
killed his wife, but supposed it to have been
fred BY a friend who was out hunting.
Two Parties in Pursuit Of the Hn-
dians,
A party of thirty from Millville and an
other from Copper City are out in pursuit OF
the Indians.
The Trial Of Hodges.
PLAcERvILLE, Sept. l0th.-Thc jury in the
case of Hodges, after an absence OF twenty
hours, returned verdict Of guilty Of murder
in the second degree.
Murder and Suicide.
NEWCASTLE. Cal, Sept. l0th.-A most
horrible case of murder and suicide was per-
petrated in this place at 4 o'clock this after
noon, by 4 man named knaggs. The deed
was committed with double barrelled shot
gun. After discharging one Of the barrels at
his wife, instantly killing her, he deliberately
blew his own brains out with the other.
Jealousy is supposed to be the cause.
