Reign ofTerror in Lincoln county,

inform US that affairs have reached aI critical condition in Lincoln county. On Monday 1st instant, at the town of Lincoln, Sheriff Brady while walk ing towards the courthouse in the plaza, wgs fired upon by party of men posted on McSween's house, and in stantly killed George Windmsn was shot and killed same time. When Brady fell he dropped his rife. Kid, alias Antrim, who it appears, was one of the attacking party ran out to secure il. He was fired upon by Mathews snd wounded. McSween, Robert Waterman and ". P. Shields were subsequently arrested and taken to Stanton where they are held as prisoners.
 On Thursday the 4,h instant party of fourteen regulators under command of Richard Brewer rode up to the Indian agency and Blazers mill and dismounied and asked for food. God frey, the Indian agent, told them they might have dinner, which they par took of, leaving two of their party outside. While they were still inside man named Roberts, whom they were in search of, rode up. He was evidently unaware that this party were inside and inquired if 6 posse had been there. He immediately discover ed that he had committed fatal mis take and indicated a disposition to sell his life dearly. Frank Coe came out and sat down by Roberts outside the house, and engaged him ir conversa tion. In the meantime the balance of the party scattered out and disposed themselves, 30 as to obtain cross fire on Roberts. Suddenly Cos sprang to one side, leaving Roberts standing alone, and the firing commenced. l. is not positively known who fired the first shot. Roberts was shot in the side, the tall traversing the bowels and infiicting fatal wound. Be how ever, shot one of the attacking party, named Middleton, through the lungs George Coe was shot through the hand and Bowder was slightly wound ed in the side.
 Roberts then took shelter in Doctor Blazers room, barricadcd the doors with mattresses, Sc, and made des- perste fight, not for his fife, fur he was already 6 dead man to all intents Brewer, who WIS very much engaged, ordered Dr. Blazer sud Maj. Godfrey Co turn Roberts out. This they refused to do Brewer :hen threatened to burn the house unless the wounded man was turned over to him. Mrs. God frey pleaded with Brewer for ihe life of Roberts, who was stranger to her, but without avail. Finding that the inmates of the house could not Se per suaded or intimidated into turning Roberts over, Brewer proceeded to the sawmill, about one hundred and twenty five yards from the door of the room in which Roberts had taken shelter, and getting behind a saw-log glanced oyer it at the door Roberts caught a glimpse of the top Brewers head and fired, the bail entering Brewers eye, killing him instantly.
 The band left shortly afterwards, taking with them Middleton, who is perhaps fatally wounded, and leaving Brewers body, which was buried by Dr. Blazer and Maj. Godfrey the next day. Roberts died the following day.
 
 A REAARKABLE instance of effect of sea waves on masonry is furnished in in the case of the well-known break water st Wick, on the coast of England. The night of the waves at this place WAS, it appears, several times measured and estimated, the result showing about 42 feet from crest to hollow. Stones of eight and ten-ton weight were, by these waves, carried from the parapet to the very top of the breakwater; and it WAS therefore deter mined, finally, to construct the out lward extremity of breakwater by Idepositing three courses of 100 ton blocks of stone on the rubble base, as foundation for three courses of large, fiat stones, surmounted by monoii:h of cemented rubble built on the spot. The end of the bTeskwater, therefore, was in substance mOnolith, weighing 1 upward of 800 tons, being about 26 feet by 45, anu not less than II feet in solid thickness, cemented to the under living rubble base. Incredible as it might seem, this huge monolithic mass succumbed to the force of the waves-it was, indeed actually seen by the resident engineer to be boldly slowed around by successive strokes until il was finally removed and de
 posted inside the pier Not only the upper portion, but the three lower courses of stone, forming a mass of 1850 tons, were removed without | breaking.
