MURDER OF FORMER RESIDENT OF
MoNTpELrER.-The Houston (Texas) Tel
egraph of the 2lst ult. contains the fol-
lowing account Of the murder of Mr.. Fl.
P. Darling, formerly of Montpelier;
DEAR SIR 1t is my painful duty to
inform you of another Indian massacre
upon the frontier, on or about the LIST
inst. Major H. P. Darling, Thomas
Cossa, an Englishman, VIM. FL. V. Smith,
late of Navarro County, two negro boys,
and two Mexicans were brutality muir
dered by the Indians, at or near the
rancho of Major Darling, situated on
the Eagle Pass and Laredo road, about
40 miles above Laredo, and known as
the Salado Rancho.
The particulars, as given me by my
informant, are these: "The rancho Is
a large sheep rancho, and it appears the
parties were all engaged in shearing, ex-
cepting the Major, at manada or cor
raj about two miles from the main ram
cho when they were surprised and muir
dered. Mr.. Cossa being shot in several
places, fell with the shears in his hand,
where they were found tightly clutched-
He must have been killed instantly Mr..
Smith was found in the wagon in which
the wool was placed as clipped; he
must have fingered long, as when found
he was still warm; the two negroes
were found near the shearing stands,
whilst the two Mexicans were found in
the corral. The Major was found about
half way between the rancho and the
manada, for which he had started the
day previous. When found he was per-
fectly naked, having been stripped of his
clothing by the savages-he had bullet
hole through his head, and several ar
rows in his body-the tiends made clean
work of it.
The families of the murdered persons,
upon their not returning at night be-
came uneasy, and started in search and
found them as described. Imagine the
feelings of these unfortunate females,
not one of whom had been upon the
| frontier more than a few months or in a
country where there was not perfect Sc
curity. The Majors daughter, a highly
educated and accomplished young lady
of sixteen, had just been brought by her
father from Connecticut, where she had
Just finished her education. Mrs. Cosss
was raised in Illinois, and had left there
q year ago happy bride. Mrs. Smith
is an elderly lady, highly educated, ane
raised in New York, and has an interest

POSSIBILITY OF PEACE.


The London Times hints at an t, WY
peace between Austria and Italy, so tia
Austria could hurl her whole army
against Prussia. It says:
"Three days have barely elapsed since
the declaration Of hostilities, and Aus
tria has already won her victory.
Enough has been done to crafty her
pride, and by merely opening negotia-
ton for the cession of Venetia, Aus.
tria would detach Italy from the Prus-
sian alliance and be enabled to move
at once from the south to the north 300
600 of her best German troops with an
immense amount of material. All the
successes achieved by the Prussians in
northern Germany during last week
could be more than counterbalanced by
this sudden and enormous accession of
strength to her adversary. Indeed,
Prussia would at once find herself in
the presence Of such fearful odds that it
may be questioned whether she would
any longer feel equal to the contest.
The settlement of the difference between
two of the belligerents would of neces-
sity bring the third to terms"

TIE GERMAN WAR.

No great battle has been fought in
Germany since that near Ska!icz, call
ed Sadowa, in which the Prussians
gained an overwhelming advantage
over the Austrians. Prague had been
abandoned by the latter, the Austrian
army Of the North being in full re-
treat, closely pursued by the Prussians.
The Austrian army Of the North still
numbered about two hundred thou
sand men. Field Marshal Benedek
had been relieved from the command
and was succeeded by Prince Albrecht.
The Italians had again been defeated
by the Austrian army Of the South,
but Cialdini, the Italian general, was
again advancing with an army Of one
hundred thousand men, forcing the
Austrians to abandon the line Of tine
Adige. Italy refuses to acknowledge
Venetia as French territory, but Prince
Napoleon was to take possession oft
in the name Of the French empire, and
a French iron-clad feet had sailed for
Venice 10 aid the Prince in this busi-
ness. The armistice proposed to Prus-
sia and Italy by Napoleon, is likely to
prove a failure, and the emperor Of
France has, it is said, determined on
'armed mediation.n II is now thought
that general European war is immi-
nent.

SOLDIERS OF 1912.

In the defeat Of the resolution which
came up before the United States House
of Representatives on Friday hast, the
Radicals have fully proved their lack
Of love and devotion for the ''Old de-
Tenders" of our country.
The bill was offered by Hon. y. Il.
C0ifrOth, from this State, for the pur-
pose Of allowing pensions to the sol
diers Of 1872. Il was defeated or rather
postponed Indefinitely by a strict par
ty vote. the Democrats voting for and
the Radicals against the Resolution.
Men OflSl2! Mark these pretended
patriots Of the present Congress. You
can see who are your real friends. BY
voting for the Republican ticket, you
support men who are opposed to Civ
ing you a small pittance for your dis
tinguishad services in driving the Brit
ish s0idiery from our soil, in their AT
tempt to destroy our institutions,
You who marched on foot from Cum
berland county 10 Fort Erie, and en-
dured all the privations incident to
those early days, know full well, how
much the people 0fthis country are IN
debted TO you for your services IN
bravely ti-hting our Country's battles
Gin the days that tried mems souls. -
IfMr. COtfroth's resolution would have
been to give every NEGRO in the cOun-
try q pension. the Radicals would have
voted solid for it, but because the Old
chHe veterans of 1872, ask this small
favor for their supportin in their decIin-
ing wears, they are to be deprived Of ii
because they are 50 unfortunate as to
be "irRife." knowing the motives OF
these political intrigues, and that their
candidate for Governor, John w. Gca-
ry. endorses all their acts in and ont OF
Congress, acquit yourselves like men,
by giving Your support to the men and
party which defended you during the
canpafgn Of 1872, and have continued
v0ur friends ever since. The same par
ty which denounced the War at that
time, withhold their support from the
few remaining patriots Of to-day.
Although your numbers are few, You
have an influence which can be WELD
ed to great effect in advancing the
principles of the party which has ever
defended the interests OF the soldier
and thepoOr.
In the coming campaign let your
feeble voices be heard in giving coun-
sci and advice TO the supporters OF the
great Democratic party, and by elect
ing men of talent and honesty to all
positions ofreSposibility, aud by chang
ing the political aspect of our Congress,
YOU will be rewarded for your services.
Keep the present party in, power and
YOU who are in necessit0us cirrumstan-

graves in poverty, while the negro

HOW TmE TIDE is RUNNING.

Since the so-calIed "Republican"
party have assumed a position Of open
hostility to the restoration of the T.
Mon, thepopular tide has set in against
them, and now the waves of public O.
pinion roll mountain-high against the
course Of the piraticaI craft in which
they are embarked. The late elections
in Connecticut, Oregon and Nebraska
show how ow0verwhelming are the break
ers that are bursting over and threaten
to make ship-wreck of the Radical
crew. In Connecticut the Democratic
gain averaged about 100 votes to every
thousand votes polled. y higher av-
erage than this was shown in the gains
in Oregon and Nebraska. There can
benodoubtthat Pennsylvania will show
thesame average Democratic gain at
thec0ming ggubernatoriale election. Now
taking the Connecticut average Of 120
to every thousand votes polled, and cal
cuIating that Pennsylvania will poll at
least 500,O00, the aggregate gain over
last year would be $4,000, leaving the
state Democratic by 10000 majority.

We call particular attention to the
message of President Johnson, printed
in this issue, vetoing the bill to cOntin-

is sustained by Seward, WelIes, Me

President johnson and his cabinet, or
Thad. Stevens and company, are in the

it will endorse the Judgment of its old
