Mnrdr eft tie tit f Traders.
The St. Louis New Era of Saturday week,
fives the particular of thn trrestat Indepen
dence of t man named William Mason, who
confessed himself to be one of the onndits who
recently rnurJereil Charvis, a Mexican trapper,
and other Santa Fe traders. -
"Antonio Jose Davi Charvis, a citiaon of New
Mexico, started about four week ago, from
Santa Fe for this 9tate, accompHiiiptl by twenty
men.-He had with him a large sum of money,
on.l took two wagons with a number of rmi!es.
During his journey fifteen of his men deserted
bim, rind returned to Santa Fe, owing to the so
terity of the weather. According to the con
fession of Mason, Charvis reached the Little
Arkansas, about 240 miles from Independence,
having with him five servants. His party whs
then assailed and plundered, Charvis being shot
b) McDanicl and Mason, to whom that task was
assigned by lot. Mason says the servants were
driven back, to Mexico, and that $32,0110 were
obtained in gold and silver. The accomplices
whose names he gave up were, McDanicl, of
Clay county, two men named Searcy, and one
called Harris, and Dr. Trefuntaine, of West
port, Ma These men were part of a compa
ny of 15 or 20 which left Independence under
the command ot McDanicl on the 1st ult., fur
the Arkansas, to join Col. Warfield. Col. W.
was, when Mason left, at the Little Arkansas
with forty-five men, waiting to intercept a com
pany of traders who were expected to leave
Santa Fe about the 1st inst."
The New Era adds :
"It cannolongor be a matter of doubt that
Warfield hasorganized a corps of banditti for
the purpose of plunder. His commission by the
Texan government cannot save him, if he ond
fiis accomplices are taken, from the punishment
due his crimes. He was in this city several
months ago, and prevailed on a few persons
to accompany him on what he termed an expe
dition for the capture of New Mexico. Hi
plans, however, seem to have extended no far
ther than rsbbery and murder, or to have failed
for the want of means to accomplish the object
entrusted to him by the Texan government.
At any rate, it is important that he should be
arrested, and that President Houston should dis
avow having commissioned him Tor the business
in which he has been engaged,"
The St. Louis Reporter announces the arrest
of Brown, one of the murderers of Charvis, the
Santa Fe trader. He had just sold his hort-e,
and hnd with him $500 in silver. The two
McDanicls have also been arrested at Liber
ty, Missouri. They had with them about So,
000. Moat Troidie. We learn that a gentle
man from Washington county, in this State,
over the Lake arrived in this city last night,
with a demand upon Governor Mouton, for a de
tachment of troops to aid in quelling a most a
larming insurrection, attended with serious loss
of life. The facts, as we understand them, are
as follows :
Several hundred men from Hancock Coun
ty, Mississippi, joined by many of Washington
County, in this State, find formed themselves
intoa band of freebooters, for the pillage of pro
perty and the destruction of life. It is stated
that they are well organized and armed, and
are regularly encamped. Many lives have al
ready been taken, and extensive robberies have
been committed.
We tike it for granted that a detachment ot
troops will be ordered to the scene of difficul
ties, in accordance with the demand made up
on the Governor. V. O. Tropic of the 3d.

the 2Gth ult.:
'We learn from a gentleman direct from Ben

heard a noise in his gin-house. lie called out

He got oft his horse and opened the door a
runaway negro and bis wife, the property of

fired st M r. Trice, and the slugs entered his

at the same time severely wounding the wo

We heard yesterday, some of the particulars
of an outrage, resulting in the death of two

Would hopp, for the sake of humani'.y may prove

The circumstances of the tragedy, as detail

ed in a law suit with some of his neighbors,
which terminated in his favor. Shortly after
wards about twenty men rode up to Adams'
place at noon day, and found him quietly seat
ed upon one of the fences of his premises
The ringleader of the party asked him if he
knew what they hnd come for ! To which he
replied that he did not unless thoy meant to kill
him. He was told that such was their object,
nnd they then commenced firing upon and kill
ed him immediately. They likewise killed a
brother of his. Adams' wife escaped with her
son, a lad of twelve or fifteen years ofagp, and
reached Covington in safety, after having been
