Mcguire" organization, were executed at Potts
vile, Pa, OH Thursday, the 21st of June.
Their names are Thomas Duffy. James Carroll,
James Roarity, James BOYLE, Hugh Mcclellan
and Thomas Munley. The first five were hung
for the murder of Policeman Yost, Of Tamaqua.
Munley was one of the murderers OF Thomas
Sanger aid William Wren, at Raven Run. On

another "Molly Mcguire" was executed at
Wilkesbarre for the murder Of John Reilly.
The culprits were all singularly firm i'll their
manner, and died "game" Nearly all OF them
protested their innocence to the last. One of
them elly-confessed his guilt to the wife Of
his VICTIM and begged her forgiveness. The
woman was unforgiving, and for reply re-
quested the privilege of hanging him.
THE law-abiding people of Schuylkill, Car
bon, Columbia and Luzerne counties, in Penn
sylvania, are considerably excited by rumors
that the friends of the men lately executed at
Pottsvile and Mauch Chunk are preparing to
avenge their death. Two murders have been
committed within few days that are charged
TO the Mollies, two witnesses III the recent trials
have unaccountabiy disappeared, several law
abiding citizens have received coffin notices,
and there is q general dread that the reign of
lawlessness has not been permanently checked
by the late wholesale eXecution-that the snake
is only scrtched, not killed.

The first reports of the Indian outbreak in
Idaho Territory were not exaggerated. About
thirty citizens were murdered on Camas prairie
and that vicinity. The Indians, numbering
from 1000 to 1,500, are not of the lowest class
of hostiles. The trouble with them is said to
be the result of Gn attempt of the Government
to put the Joseph band of Nez Perces on a
reservation. To this they had consented, when
one Of their number was lneNcusaDly
shot by white man, and all endeavors to Sc
cure the punishment of the murderer failed.
Or. Salmon river every white man was killed,
but the women and children were spared.
There has been some fighting between the
savages and the white soldiers sent against
them, resulting, according to the advices before
us at this writing, disastrously to the whites,
about fifty of whom have been killed and
wounded.
ADv1cEs from the scene of the Indian out
break in Northern Idaho report that thirty
three white soldiers were killed in the engage
ment Of the 18th of June. A dispatch of the
22d from Bore City says AT State creek
the whites have fortified themselves in a stock
ade fort, into which has been received the
gether with the families of the men who had
escaped the massacre. These women are thus
shut up in the midst of the hostile Indians
without adequate means of defense and with
out aid, and will certainly be over
powered and murdered as the Indians
declare their determination to take the
fort ana murder the men. The situation far
exceeds in gravity any Indian outbreak OF our
day, and it will tax the best resources Of the
Government and Of the people immediately
interested to subdue the Indians and restore
peace to the country. The volunteer compa-
MES are being constantly organized in various
settlements. An amateur pedestrian named
