Military trial to day, Richard Fegures,
who had turned State's evidence,
and is the strongest witness. for the
prosecution, was placed on the stand.
At first he stated that he did not
wish to give evidence, as General
Buell. expected more of him than he
could tell, and-had this morRiug
threatened him with prosecution and
punishment for perjury if he did not
tell all he had stated privately. and
also that he would be tried for the
crime with the balaaee. He only

Additional Particulars or the Indian
Massacrcs.

LEAvENwORTH, KAs., June 3.
The Times and Conservative has re-
ceived the following additional par
ticulars of the Indian massaeres on
Fossel Creek: The tongues and
hearts were cut out of the dead bodies
of the men killed, the calves of their
legs slit down and tied under their
shoes, pieces of flesh cut from their
backs, pieces Of telegraph wire stuck
into their bodies. their cars cut off
and their heads scalped. John Park,
Deputy United States Marshal, re-
ports that the indians boiled the
hearts of these men for medicine.
The Swedish settlers. who we're
attacked on Spillman Creek, all lived
IN one house, and only those were
killed thatiieft the house and attempt
ed to reach place of greater security.
Those that remained in the house
were not molested. This occurred
in two or three instances. The
calamity is mainly attributable TO the
lack of arms, for wherever a gun was
fired the savages made no fight. The
Indians drove off considerable stock
from the above settlement

LONDON, June 3.-Dispatches re-

town in the northern part of Wales,

Several lives were lost and many in-
jured. An attempt was made TO res
cue two prisoners in the hands Of the
Sheriff. The Sheriff and his guard
resisted manfully, but the mob boing
too strong, il was found necessary to
call out the military force, which
fired upon the rioters, killing four in
stantly, and wOunding many more.
At the date of the last dispatches the
town was quiet and the prisoners still

AT a late hour the Manufacturers
Bulletin suggests to the people of Gin
oinnati that they can construct tun-
nels under the river much cheaper
than bridges over it. Tunnels viii
offer no obstruction to river men, and
consequently river men will not op-
pose the construction of tunnels. If
properly constructed, a good tunnel
will be liable to less accidents than a
bridge. will cost less for repairs and
be more generally satisfactory. We
hope the peoDl5 of Cincinnati will
give the whole matter a thorough in
vestigatien before obstructing nayiga-
tiOn with a bridge. 1t is almost i'm
possible to so build bridge as to
offer no obstruction whatever to navi-
cation. A stone pier anywhere in
the river, at some stage, is in the way
of steamboats,, aud liable to make
trouble. if not to actually endanzer
life. By all means let US have tun-
nels rather than bridges.

IT seems a little strange, when the
hearts ofmOst Presbyterians are pant
ing for the union of the two branches
of their church, and the most in
telligent have been puzzling their
brains to bring about such a result
satisfactorily to all, that HEERY WARD
BEEcuER should strongly dissent 1t
is said the distinguished gentleman
opposes all the movements looking to
the reunion of religious sects. He
does not believe that In union there
is strength. On the contrary, he
argues that the chief strength of re-
ligion consists in the large number
and diversity of religious sects,
and quotes st. Paul to prove his
view. He hopes that the number of
sec.s may increase rather than dimin-
ish, and would rather have bad men
preach the Gospel than not have it
preached at all. Mr.. BEEoHER's s
strong holt" as Artemus Ward
would express it, seems to be in diff
fering from everybody else. There
fore his position in regard to unior
movements is not TO be wondered at
