IMPORTANT FROM SANTA FB Alarming Indian Depredations' Americans Murdered Fort Bent BurntTh Com mand Supposed Massacred Gnat Political Excitement, tft. ' ' St. Low, Sept. 29, P. M. Mr. James Brown, the Government Freight Agent, arrived here last from Santa Fe. He was 20 days on the way. He reports trade at Santa Fe generally dull particularly in dry goods, though groceries were in good demand. Two Americans were murdered by the Apache Indian, at Los Vegas, on the 6th September. Tho Indians stole twenty Gov. ernmcnt horses at the same time. - When about two hundred miles this side of Santa Fe, Mr. Brown was attacked by a party of 100 Arrapahoes, who robbed him of everything. The next day they gave him back some mules and left him to pursue his journey. ' On the way Mr. Brown met a party of Cal ifornia emigrants, who supplied him with provisions and other necessary articles. Col Alexander was in command at Santa Fe when Mr. B. left. Col. Washington, at the head f all the available force, had gone in pursuit of a large body of hostile Indians. Major Beel still continued stationed at Taos. Major Slein recently had a skirmish with the Indians and was wounded. A band of Cheyenne Indians, a short time since, surrounded and burnt Bent's Fort. Wm. Bent, and several men who were in charge of the fort are supposed to have been massacred by the Indians, as nothing has since been heard of them. Mr B. passed several California traders, who hi I suffered more or less from the de predations of the Indians. At Walnut Creek he met Col. Monroe, in command of 250 dragoons and infantry, en route for Santa Fe. The Indians were every where evincing hoslile demonstrations and becoming quite troubtesomp. Grass was plenty on the plains, and the teams appeared to begetting along well. Considerable excitement prevailed at Santa Fe, in consequence of an attempt being made to set up a convention to form a Slate gov ernment. The London Athenaum indulges in a bit of pleasantry over the ubiquitous qualities of the Universal Yankee nation "N'o land is too far no nook is too dark for their researches.

The law, however, does not require voters to vote the single ticket. Seperate tickets can be voted as heretofore, when persons prefer it. POOR HOUSE. We have heard but little said in regard to the vote on the Poor House question. Yet it is an important question, though but little understood. In some cf the neighboring counties of Dauphin it is said that no poor tax is levi ed, and that the profits of the Poor House more than pay the expenses. This is also the case with Lancaster and other coun ties. This of course will depend much on the location. If the Poor House is located in a neighborhood, where vegetables and garden truck can be readily sold, it will be almost certain to yield a good revenue, if properly conducted, as that kind of labor and business, seems to be admirably adapted to the inmates of such an institution. In view of these facts we have heard the up per end of Shamokin Island, between this place and Northumberland, suggested as an excellent location. Both towns might be supplied with many things raised and made at the Poor House, and any quantity might be disposed of along the line of canal. If such an institution would exempt us from further taxation, and add to the comforts of the poor, we can see no reason why we should not establish one in this county. This county has nothing to do with Union county in this matter. Each county will have its own. MEN WITH TAILS. Col. D.icouret, distinguished for his Afri can explorations, has been commissioned by the French government for a live years ex ploration in the interior of I hat country. He asserts that there, is a race of the Ghilaues inhabiting the interior of Africa and renown fed among the neighboring tribes us caudated, or having a tail-like appendage, formed by the elongation of the vertebraj column, and that they are the last link in the human race. Lord Monboddo's theory that man was ori ginally a monkey, and wore his tail off by sitting upon cane-bottom chairs, or some thing like this, is about to be realized, if the French Colonel's story is to be relied upon. Ha says he saw one of these caudaled persons, i i j r i.; .1 . aim maue a urawing ui mm. Alexander Dumas, the mullato writer, being asked "who was his father !" replied, ''he wasa merchant of Martinqne." "Who was your grand father)" "Son of a planter of that island," was the answer. "And who was you great grandfather!" "He, sir, was an ape. My pedigree begitn where yours ended." Ha probably referred to the newly discovered Ghilaues as his original piogenitors. Thb Mosquito Difficulty. The Nation, al Inlelligeiicer makes the following authori tative announcement: A slatemeut is going the rounds of the op. position pi ess that an angry correspondence has arisun between this government and the British Charge d'Affairs, Mr. Crampton, about the British claim to the Mosquito coast. The whole story is a sheer invention. In this respect it is very like another ridiculous story ciiculated by the press, that the Secretary of Slate had advised that -Madame Ponitm should not be received at the President's and that Mr. Poussin resented it by insulting the gov. eminent. It is hardly necessary to say that there is no foundation whatever for such statement, or for any part of it. There were no unkind feelings between Mr. Poussin and any member of the Cabinet. The sole cause of oar government taking offence is to be found in the correspondence of Mr. Poussin almf. ZJ Uain. After a long drouth of three months duration we have been bles sed with a glorious rain, which commenced on Sunday night last, and continued with various intermissions for three or four days. The mills are again at work and the canal is now in fine navigable order. QThe Northumberland Bridge, which has been undergoing some repairs, during the past two weeks, is again in passable or der. Several of the arches had been sprung and out of line, in consequence of not hav ing been properly put together. These have been keyed up and put in place by means of false works and wedges. ALE OB THE WlLLIAMSPORT AND ELMIRA RAILROAD. The Philadelphia Ledger of Tuesday last says : "Yesterday, at noon, a sequestrator, Under a special act of the Legislature, sold, at the Kxcbange, in mis city, the YVilliamsport ana filmira Railroad, in Lvcominir countv. in this State, valued at $700,000, to Archibald Ro bertson, tor 81000! Should the purchaser fail to complete the road, so as to connect with tho New York and Brie Railroad within five rears, the stockholders resume the fran chises of the Corporation, by paying back the amount expended by the purchasers it is, further, one of the conditions of the act un der which the road is sold, that none of its materials shall be removed, nor the line of the road used for any other purpose than a railroad. Twenty-five miles of the road, from WilliamsDort to Ralston, are finished, and locomotives are runnlne on it daily. The sale was ordered on the complaint of creel 1 1 ois, representing more than three forths of the liens, declaring that the annual receipts are insufficient to defray expenses, keep I he road in repair and pay interest on the debts due by the Company. A Vr.RY Dangerovs Counterfeit. We were shown this morning a counterfeit half eagle, so skilfully made as to render it neces sary for all to be on their guard. It was ta ken at one of our banks, where it escaped detection, and was paid out. Subsequently it was received at the Custom House, and was only dteected by its trial upon the de licate scales in use there. The coin is on the surface of pure gold, and the impressions are in every respect perfect imitations of the genuine. Upon breaking it open, however, it was ascertained that the gold was only about the thickness of ordinary writing pa per, the inner part being of line, lead or some other base metal. The difference in the weight of this and the genuine half eagle is scarcely appreciable upon ordinary scales, and the external appearance is so exactly like those issued from the Mint as to pre vent the detection of the counterfeit by an ocular examination. Let all be on their guard against it. Bulletin. Fine and Loss or Lite Two Persons, Twelves Horses and 200 Cows Burned Last night between Hand 12 o'clock, fire was discovered in Mr. Johnson's extensive cow stables, situated on the corner of Fifteenth street and Tenth avenue, and extending into Sixteenth street. The conflagration spread with such rapidity that all hope of saving any part of tho stables was soon abandoned, and it required the utmost exertions of the firemen to prevent the entire destruction ef an adjoining distillery, when in all probabili ty it would have spread to a still wider and more destructive extent. There were in the stablesabout four hundred cows, the proper ty of various milkmen who supply the city, feeding their cows upon the refuse of the ad joining distillery. Of these it is supposed that about two hundred, or one half, perished in the flames. Of course they were fastened up to their stalls, and the wonder is that so ma ny were rescued. Twelve horses also perished in the flames. A man and a woman also be came victims to the devouring element. James Kigan, residing in Factory street, hav ing some cows in the stables, attempted to rescue them, and was suffocated and burned to death in the attempt. A woman named Gaylaid, residing in a shanty in the rear of the stables, was also burned to death. Sue had been married only four or fivo weeks N. Y. Advertiser, Saturday. Destructive FireinOweoo. The pretty little town of Owego, near the Southern boundary line of New York, on the Susque hanna River, has been visited with a fire which greatly exceeded in its scope and da mages the brief report by telegraph. The fire originated in the Hall of the Sous of Temperance, on Front St., about 4 o'clock on Thursday morning, and raged until 1 1 atniht Most of the business part of the town is de stroyed, including the Town Hall, County Clerk's Office, three printing offices, tho Owego Hotel, the fine bridge over the Sus quehanna, nearly all the buildings on Main street, many on Lake street, &e., numbering altogether some 80 buildings. The loss is estimated at several hundred thousand dollars which is only partially covered by insurance. The amount of insurance in New York city is said to be not over 810.000. SIXTEEN DAYS LATER FROM CALIFORNIA. Tht Gold-Healih of the EmigranttTrou' blet anticipated between the Americans and Spaniard. The New York Tribune, of yesterday, pub lishes news fiortl California, 16 days later, by the eteamer Panama, received through Mazatlan, Mexico, and by the steamship Severn, at Mobile. It does not add much to the amount of information previous recei ved, but is satisfactory in showing that the yield of gold was steady, and though there was, as a matter of course, much disappoint ment among individuals, the general result satisfactory. It is estimated that the aver age product of all the mines together, thus far, since the beginning of the season, has ueen iz,uuu,uuu per month, and there was thought to bo no doubt of its continuance at the same rate of abundance. No change is quoted in the prices either of gold or mer chandise. The health of the population, both al the mines and elsew here, is generally good, and neither cholera nor any other serious malady is reported as having made its appearance. The jealous, unfriendly feeling which has so long been in existence between the Ame. ricans and South Americans of Spanish ori gin has at last approached a crisis, and by the next arrival we may expect to hear of a grnve collision, at least if the party warned of display anything like a manly spirit. The Americans have determined that the Mexi cans aud Chilians who are at the mines, shall no longer enjoy the privilege of digging out the riches of the earth, and have taken do liberate mcascres accordingly. All compa nies of these nations who have come organ ized to work for the season, with tho inten tion returning to spend the winter and wet season at home, have been informed that their presence will no longer be tolerated, and have received positive orders to leave the gold region and not return. The order to evacuate allows a fixed time, sufficient for the retiring parties to make all necessary preparations. The Americans seem, fiom our information, to have proceed ed very calmly about it, and up to the 18th no disturbances whatever had taken place, they were waiting for the expiration of the allotted period, after which, should the rejec ted adventurers refuse to leave, they would set about making them. When that moment arrives, there is in thu nature of the case, danger of fighting and bloodshed. Polities seem to be much more quiet thro' the Territory than at the last dates, when the bustle of the elections had not yet crded and the excitement of parties was still fresh. Now it is comparatively stagnant. FROM lllllt Alii A. More I ad tan Murders American Bravery Cholera, Ire. St. Louis, Oct l. By an arrival from Chihuahua to August 2d we learn that the Indians in that part of the country are daily becoming more hostile to wards the whites. During the two weeks preceding the Sd of August, upwards of fifty Mexicans ami several Americans h id been killed by lius'.i! Lillians ueai ('liiltm.liun. In the middle of July, Mr. Vaiighan. an American trader, was muidf-red by a party of Apache Indians, near Sacramento. Six daring Americans immediately started in pursuit of the murderers, and succeeded in se curing Mr. Vanghan's scalp and property. The Indians, who numbered about thirty, fled. Jones, tho Apache Chief, offers a premium of ten horses for the scalps of each Mexican officer that are brought to him. The Arrikura Indians, a very savage tribe, on the Missouri river, have joined the A paches. Col. Washington and his force were, at last accounts, in pursuit of them. The cholera was taging with a terrible ef fect in Durango and other parts of New Mexico. REMAtNS OF WIIITEFtELD. The Rev. Jonathan F. Stearns, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Newark, writei to the Newbury port (Mass.) Herald, that It has been well known "that one of the principal bones of Whilefield's right arm has been missing from among the remains of thai 'eminent saint, deposited in the vault under the pulpit of the Newburyport Presbyterian Church." The bone was in possession of a person in London. Mr. otcarns states further, that he recently received a package containing the stolen relic, with a letter, from which an ex tract is given below, with Mr. Steams' re marks thereupon ; "Some years ago asbrother clergyman was requested to obtain an original letter of the dear and honored Whitefield, for me, which he thoucht he could easily do. He failed, however, in the attempt ; but to my great surprise and mortification, sent me what he called a precious relio of the holy man of God one of his bones I and precious it is; but it was of too sacred a nature to expose to the publio eye, and I have preserved it, hoping to restore it to its proper place, with my own hands. This I must now entrust to you, and 1 shall be happy to learn from you that it has been done." The trust committed to me, I am happy to say, has been discharged. The venerable relic was conveyed . to the vault where its kindred remains lie, and in the presence of the Session of the church and the parish com mittee, restored to its place yesterday,-"ear!h to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dost." As it seems not proper that names should be mentioned in this matter, I would only beg leave to add, that the gentleman by whom the restoration has been made, is known by reputation to me and others in this communi ty, and the worth of his character is a suffi cient guaranty that the transaction is genuine and the motives which have influenced his course honorable and sincere.

Mr. Sheddin, on Sunday last, in the rrercytenan Church, was an eloquent and beautiful production.

It it well arranged and one of the bet published in this country ANOTHER IllXHMAN CASE. The Pennsylvanian publishes the follow. ing singular case, which is the first we have heard of the matter : "We have just been informed that there is another case now in progress of investigation before a court of in quiry in this city, that will not only rival the notorious Hinchman case, but reflect great disgrace in the end on the prosecuting party, as all their charges are said to be prompt ed and sustained by religious prejudice, as well as the other motives common in such case, viz: avarice and pride. It appears that a gentleman (Warden Cres son., Esq. ,) recently returned from a residence in the East, at Jeiusalem, and there became convinced that Judaism was the true ism, and consequently became a Jew, He was ap pointed our consul there, but did not act as such, as by some foul play his commission papers were detained from him by those he entrusted to receive them from Government to send to him. On his return, the disgrace of his change of faith waKso keenly felt, that together with a desire, probably of handling his properly freely, prompted the prosecuting party to institute a charge of lunacy against him ; and he, being a warm devotee to reli gion is not too well qualified to maintain bis ground against those who have wealth and influence to obtain a judgment in their favor. As these proceedings are, for policy sake, kept secret from the publio view, we forbear now to enter nice fully into the particulars, but we may probably before long By the Constitution of the United Slates, an Ameri can citizen is guarantied hi civil and reli gious liberties and we trust that those who are dark-minded enongh to deprive a man of man of these, from such motives, may meet the just indignation of the American people."

A Colored Posmaster in Virginia The Postmaster General, on the representations of some person at Faruham, Richmond coun ty, a., was led to appoint "Mr. Spencer Marden" Postmaster at that place, who, it turns out, is a free man of color. Upon be ing advised of the fact, the Postmaster Gen eral abolished the office. The opinion is confidently expressed by those who are best informed on the subject, that the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal will be finished by the first of January next. Slave Killed.

The French government it is said, have sent to Rome an imperative order for the release of the famous Dr. Achilli, who was thrown into the dun geons of ihe Inquisition at Rome, on the re storation of the caidinals to power.

He was simply a Protestant, occupy ing himself in distributing Bibles and dis coursing on theology. THE mormox city of the salt lake. Mormon City. Great Salt Lake, ) July 22, 1849. J I shall never forget the first sight of this valley. It shall Tver remain on my mind as tho most beautiful spectacle I ever beheld. The Great Sail Luke lies towards the North. The L'teh Lake lies sixty miles to the South. The valley is watered by the Jordan, Web ber and Bear rivers, with several creeks. The whole valley is surrounded by snow capped mountains, forming a complete basin The land is very rich, producing wheat and corn in abundance, but there is no wood for 15 mill's. The whole valley is occupied by the Mormons, who build their houses entirely of sun dried bricks. Their city occupies more ground than Pittsburg, but each man has a large piece of ground around his dwelling. The bridges are all pood, the streets and roads wide, and the fence very regular. There are about ten thousand Mormons here They say that they will welcome to theit Society any good citizen, no matter what his i religion may be. Their motto is, "do right." They are building a rhurchof stone, which is already one slury liiirh, and will be a line building. They assemble every Sunday morning nnder la rye shed. Tim Society is governed by a Piesident, the twelve, and the seventy. Thil President and the twelve oc cupy the pulpit, and do all tho preaching, I went this morning, when the bell rang, to I church, where I saw a large assemblage, some dressed quite fashionably, and all clean and neat. A brass band first played a lively tune, and then the clerk rose and read several notices. One man had lost a pocket book another had his garden destroyed by caltlo breaking into it. He then read off the names of per sons to whom letters in the post office were addressed, and several other items of that kind. He then announced that on next Tues day, they would have an anniversary feast, as it was Ihe day of the month on which they arrived their present snug quarters. He sta ted that the city would be roused early in the morning by the filing of cannon, and the music of the brass band. A procession would march out of town, and at two o'clock dinner would be served. The emigrants were all invited to attend. The dinner table will accommodate seveial thousand people speeches will be delivered toasts drank, and the Declaration of Inde pendence and the Constitution of the United States read. In the evening there will be a ball. The order of l ho procession is as fol lows : First, the President ; then the Twelve; next Ihe Seventy Three ; then the twenty four Bishops; then the grey haired Fathers; next twenty-four young girls singing hymns, and with flags in their hands; twenty-four young men wiih a sword in one hand, and the Declaration of Independence in the oilier. The citizens and emigrants come next, fol lowed by the military with music and artil lery. This will be a great day with them, and you may be assured that I will do ample jus tice to the good dinner which will then be served up. I will also have a dance with a Mormon girl, merely for the novelty of the thing. They are very strict in the administration of justice. One of their number stole pair of boots from an emigrant. He was senten ced to pay four timet their value, fined $50 and was compelled to work fifty days on the publio roads. One of the men was senten ced to death for borrowing some property from a neighbor and selling it ; but finally, owing to the intercession of hit family, hit sentence was commuted to banishment When they first arrived, they were very much troubled by some Indians, who killed their cattle and stole from them. ' Tbey tent to remonstrate with them, and the Indians replied that their President was an old wo man, and they would not mind him. They then sent out a company of soldiers, and kill ed a few of them, since which time they have not been again annoyed- Corresp. Pitts burg Gazette. 5UI Sorts of 3tcmc.
