The Hon. Richard Dana has been
nominated in the5th Mass. District
in opposition to Gen. Butler, and
has accepted the nomination. The
canvass will be levely, but Mr.. But
Ter win probably be reelected. We

man, for we must say we are not a
very enthusiastic admirer of Gen.

The savages who attacked Col.
Forsythe's command were armed
with Spencer carbines, and Henry
rifles, which were supplied to them

children of nature to test the effici
n ency of their new rifles and bowl
Il knives.
