Horrible Tragedy.
i:- :
From the New T-ork. Tribune of the 28th
ult,, we learn the .particulars of a-horrible
tragedy, enacted in 80th street, in that
city, on-Tuesday night, 26th ult. A young
man named Francis Gonldy, aged about
18 years, armed 'himself with a hatchet,
a butcher.knife-and revolver, and coming
down stairs met his father io-the doorway,
and struck him on the head with the hatch

As he foh> Frank made another blow at
him taking effect on the side of his head,
nearly severing the top part ofthe.skull.
He then went to his mother’s room, caught
her by the hand and commenced striking
hqr with the hatchet The first three
blows she parried off, but the last two
took effect on her head. The noise made

by his mother awakened his two younger
brotbere, aged 14 and 8 years, whom
immediately attacked with the hatchet,
nutting them very badly. Two servant
girls, who slept in the third story, became
alarmed, and were coming down stairs,
when he met - them and knocked one- of
them down, cutting her Very much in the
head. The mother Ume seized the hatchet
and'WrenohedJt from him, but he after

Tip; Florida WAH.—It is stated, that
nearly a million of dollars will be required
to pay the volunteers alone engaged in
the service against the Florida . Indians,
during;the late troubles previous to their
removal, and . for losses by depredations.
Each Indian will have subjected' the gov
ernment to a something, near one
hundred thousand dollars. Of the above
sum, about 8500,000 will be required to
pay the volunteers called into the service
by the .general government; and say
8400,00 for those called out by the State,
under her militia laws, whose payment
the general governmeiyt assumed. The
remainder will' be consulted in indemni-
for losses i»y depredations.
Clerk of the House. —A. W Bene
dict, of Huntingdon, has been named in
connection with the Chief Clerkship of
the House, than whom a better mau has
not yet been presented. On the score of
qulaifications he is equal, if not superior,
to any of his competitors. .As a politician
he has always been consistent, and his time
and talents have ever been devoted to the
• - • ' \ •'
interests of his party without his asking
for office in return. To elect him would
be an act of Justice, and would secure a
good aud faithful 'officer to the House, —
We hope his claims will receive that con
sideration which their merit demands.

fer eome time—reason— nothing to write about.
On the 20th of August last, the mail between
this City add California was very, quietly turned
jbver by the patriotic red skins, on the Humbolt
River, about 840 miles from this place. This
is the'manner In which the 1 Indians of the pres
ent day generally manifest their patriotism to
ward their venorable old uncle Samuel, or chief
■Washington, as they term Jimmy Buck. No
lives were lost in the affray, but tho mail mat
ter, mules and provisions were appropriated by
the aforesaid Indians to and for their own per
sonal benefit.
Sapt. Forney left this city last Sunday with
about §3,000 worth of Indian goods, as presents,
in lieu of good behaviour in future. Ho was
accompanied by about 160 dragoons under Copt.
Hauss,- and will be absent about six weeks.
Quite a serious affray occurred at one of the
gameing houses in this city, about the Cth inst,
In which one of the beligercnts was killed, and
the other severely injured, though 'now improv
ing slowly. Brother Grant, one of the twelve,
received a nice thrashing at the hands of a Gen
tile, some two weeks since.
Col. Mcrriscii arrived in this city on the 10th
inst, on Lis r-sy to Camp Floyd, in .Cedar Val
ley, with aheut 400 recruits for the 10th Infan
try. In d icing through the city they gave vent
to their patriotism through fife and drum, play
ing “few Days,” after which in pitched-the
brass band with “ a little more cider too.”—
They didn’t' c.eafe much excitement, ,and the
Republic is still safe.
Mr. KirktAnderson, for some time since con
nected with the Missouri Republican, arrived
here about the 4th inst. Ho intends publishing
a paper in this city, which will not be under
any obligations or liable to the twelve for any
aid whatever, pecuniary or otherwise, and c:
course will bite wherever the shoo pinches.
The weather is very warm in the valleys yet,
but there are breakers ahead.
Judge Eckels leaves for home in a few days.
The trains (army supplies and merchant) are

Trains are arriving daily from the East. Kirk
Anderson’s printing office is looking up and will
soon be finished.
Two hundred mounted troops have been order
ed from Camp Floyd to Spanish Fork Settlement,
to arrest,' if possible, sonic Ote Indians who
have committed serious depredations at that
place. Dent know how it will end. The troops
will not follow the Indians into the Mountain's.
Dr. Forney, who left for tbc llumbolt some
time since, had, as far as heard from, met with
two bands of friendly Indians, very unexpect
edly, as it was predicted here, by men who
think they know something, that not an Indian
would be seen on the route. He algo received
n letter from Col. Sanders, who is in tho U. S.
Road Survey, near tho Humbblt, stating that
the Indians on the route were all friendly.—
Court opens on Monday next but will not last
long, as there are few cases on the Docket.—

Desperate Conflict with a Runaway Ne
gro.—The Clayton Banner gives the particulars
o: a desperate rencontre between a Mr. Edward
Garland of Gleuuville and a runaway negro,
the property of Dr. J. B. Owens of Russell 1
County, Alabama. The boy was discovered by
Mr. Garland, who came up with him in advance
of others in pursuit, when the negro stopped,
drew a scythe blade with which he had previ
ously killed a valuable dog, aud in a moment
rushed, upon Mr. Garland. , Fortunately Mr. Q.
was armed with a stout stick with which be
knocked tho weapon from the negro’s hand, but
the latter immediately seized Mr. G. 7 s horse by
lh« hridle.and commenced'stabbiug tbe.animal
iu the neck with a dirk, from the effects of
which it soon died. He lost this weapon also
before he could use .it on Garland. Springing
on the horse, he seized Mr, G. by the heck aud
dragged him. to the ground, and in the struggle
that ensued bit off a part of one of Mr. G.’dears.
Finding Mr. G. pretty well exausted, and think
ing, perhaps, that others would arrive, he made
off again. In a short time, however,' he was
decoyed by negro who immediately seized him
when another violent battle oosuod. iu thomidst
of which a gentleman posing by, seeing the
fracas," came to' the aid of the assisting negro,
and, placing a pistol at the head of tho runaway,
forced him to surrender. The nbgro has been
committed to stand his trial at tho next term
of the Court for an assault with intent to murder.
A Prize Fight Out; West.— The St. Lotus
Republican gives an account of a fight between
Pat McNeil, the Tipperary Boy, and Ellas O’-
Flaghorty, near the Fair Ground, on the same
day that the Mojrisscy and lleenau fight look
place. O’Flagherty was the victor, the report
closing with-tho- foßowing summary of the bru
tal work: ‘ ' '
On the sixtieth round McNeil could not come
up to time, having both arms -broken, two ex
tremely black eyes, a fractured rib or, two, and
a head about twice its usual size,' and having
besides received a great loss of Ho
