This U tho last month of spring, but lb fact bas been
the only spring month that we have had. March and
April were excesslTely cold, and it was feared that the
fruit crop had fallen a prey to the ice, snow and frost,
which has characterized the two first mouths of spring!—
The weather Is now as fair as we conld wish for all practi
cal purposes, and Instead of the fruit haribg been killed,
It promisee the most abundant yield. From all quarters
and all sections of the country we have the most gratifying
aocountgj and should nothing new occur, we will hare In
the westTthe most abundant crop of frnlt that we have
had for many years. The winter wheat, however, has all
been killed, and the farmers are plowing np their fields
and replanting with spring wheat. The season Is very
promising for a good corn and oats crop, and the hardest
generally promises well, notwithstanding the extreme cold
weather and the backwardness of the season. We have
had several very heavy and refreshing rains since our last
1 date, which have contributed immensely to the fruit, veg
etables and the growing crops. The rains have also cansed
the different rivers to rise, and they are now in most ex
cellent order for the largest class boats. Freights still
continue high, but considerable shipping Is done. -The
, receipts of produce have been heavy, and all descriptions
find a ready and good market at this point. Flour has
advanced about $1 per bbl., and now sells—(the quotations
we always report are those at wholesale ; in a retail way
much higher figures have to be paid)—from $5.50 to $j per
bbl.; wheat $1.20 to $1.80; corn 60 to 65c. per oats
68 to 70c.; hides 17J/£ to 18c.; pork 21.50; lard 13%; whis
key 26%; potatoes $1.40 to $2 per bnsbel. !
Business in all departments of trade is very brisk. • Our
ievee still continues to present a huge pile of merchandize.
From 8 to 15 boats arrive daily, loaded to their guards,
and the same may be said of those that depart. The emi
gration continues to pour In from all quarters, en route to
: Kansas. Nebraska, Minnesota, lowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Oregon and Utah, and no one can scarcely imagine the
cumber of emigrants pushing forward to tbo above named
States and Territories. In the early part of last week a
delegation from Lancaster city and cotmty arrived at thi g
point on their way'to Minnesota. Among the number we
noticed Mr. Ilenry Stoek and family; Messrs. Brubaker
and family ; J. J. Porter and family ; Stoner, Staumbach
and several others, whose names we did not get. This
party when hero, laid in a large 6tock of i,oods, and seemed
much pleaaod with our city—as most any body would.—
They left in good health and fine spirits on the steamer
Commerce for their new homes fn Minnesota. We wish
them a safe and speedy trjp and comfortable and happy
homes in the far west.
We understand that another party from Lancaster passed
through here on Tuesday last fur Kansas, but we could
v not ascertain thuir nanieH. Our beet wishes also go with
party. It gives u« pleasure to see and hearof so tnauy
Lancaster county people wending their way to the West—
which is destined to be the great agricultural field of tho
world. Thousands and tens of thousands are yearly head
ing for the Great West, and in a few more years—that
which but recently was a wilderness—w ill be peopled with
the bone and sinew of the American continent. Now is the
’ time to select hom«K In the West, whilst land is cheap—a
year or two more and it will be worth double what it is now
offered for, and perhaps three times as much. There is yet
plenty of room, and we iuvite the attention of the readers
of tho Intelligencer to the propriety of buying land as early
as possible—should they have any notion of taking up
their future abode in the Valiev of the Mississippi. The
same opportunity will never bo offered again, and tho pres
ent should not 1* overlooked. The West Is certainly the
plnco, ofall others, for the young and rising generation.—
Come on. then, “whiLt tbo lump holds out tA burn.”
Col. Beutou arrived in our city a few days tjure, and it
is possible tha» he will be Invited to addre«a our citizens
upon the “state of tho Union,'’ and also to place himself
right upon the -record," which hig former/rieudi have ob
literated, and placed him iu a wrong position before the
country, in tho fare of his previous declarations. Wo
look forward with tnu.-h solicitude for his forthcoming
speech.
We mentioned some time since that Major Hollins had
been named as the K. N. B. R. candidate for Governor—
and in fact was nominated by some K. N. members of the
Legislature, hut until this week Major Rollins was mum
as to whether he would accept or not —waiting, no doubt,
to Deo what the Black Republicans intruded to do, and
finding that they would not run a candidate, (hut the
leaders had promised to support the K. N\ candidate.) he
came out a few days since and announced himself as au
•'■independent" candidate for Governor.—against “Anti.
Bentonism” and “National Democracy " We now have
Rolling as tbo Know Nothing Black Republican candidate,
and Col. Stewart ns tho Democratic candidate, and
predict, should the vote be brought out, from 15,000 to
20,000 majority for the latter. Senators Polk and Green,
It is said, will stump the State. Col. Stewart left this city
on Friday for Southern Missouri to open the canvass. The
election takes place in August.
Mr. John W. Minor, Senator from Schuyler county, Mo.,
hna been appoluted by Mr. Buchanan, General Mail Agent
for Missouri and lowa. The St. Louis appointments have
not yet beeD mode.
It is now reduced to a certainty that the Democracy have
•arriod the State of lowa—electing their entire State ticket
by not less than 2500 majority. In tho counties heard
from the Democrats have gained on last fall’s election 7900
votes, and some fifty counties to hear from, which will
greatly increase the Democratic vote. Hurrah for little
lowa. She has nobly redeemed herself, and onco more
stands out in the Democratic column. Black Republican
ism has been wiped out, in that State, and we hope forev
er;—aud In August we will wipe it out of Missouri!
- We now have further and fuller accounts of the recent
Indian depredations in Northern lowa, and the latest and
best account that-we can give, is an extract of a letter
from Fort Dodge, lowa, dated April 10th, which says :
* “Oo the afternoon of Thursday the 26th of March, they
attacked the residence of a Mr. Stewart, killing him. while
standing at the door, with buckshot, and his wife imme
diately thereafter, as she ran to his assistance; entering
the house, they shot two small children, girls, and dashed
out their brains with tomahawks; oneotbercbild, and the
only remaining one of the family, a boy of eight years,
managed by some means or other to escape. He is now in
our placo, and will be roared by Major Williams, one of our
citizens. They next attacked the store house of Mr.
Woods, killed him and set fire to the building, In which it
is believed a brother of Woods perished. The remaining
inhabitants (then at home) collected in the house of a Mr. i
Thomas, which was in turn attacked by the savages, their !
first fire wounding Mr. Thomas, Carvsn and a young wo- \
man. and killing a young boy of Thomas; there remained
but two men, by names Bradford and Markham, capable of
making resistance, the balance of the inmates, consisting
of women and children. During the attack, some nine In
dians were supposed to have been killed and four wounded;
thirty shots were fired and the guns loaded by a Mrs.
Church, who killed one of tho Indians. A short time be
fore, two rf the inhabitants were dispatched to Fort Ridge
ly for assistance, the alarm becoming general from the re
ports of violeuco at Spirit Lake, and on Friday the 27th, a
company of mounted Infantry on mules, under the com
mand of Capt. Kee, reached the town. The savages, In the
moan timo, being apprized of their coming, fled toward tho
* Missouri. On Sunday morning the troops went in pursuit
and returned the same evening, performing no other duty
than to consign to his last resting place, one of the dead
found on the upper shores of Spirit Lake. Their conduct
has been severely censured, but whether with propriety or
not, lam not able to form any opinion or judgemeut. Tho
• day of retribution will speedily arrive, and they bido their
time. It is boheved the warriors numbered from ISO to
200, and their declared intent was. after the destruction of
Spirit Lake and Springfield settlements, to march down the
Des Moines as far as this place, to carry on their work of
death and plunder.
Our party having one sad duty yet to perform, dis
patched twenty-five of their number to Spirit Lake, where
thpy found the remains of the murdered pioneers, and gave
Hhem sepulture; those Were, the wife of Joseph llowe and
five sous; A. Noble, wife and child; E.Rion; a man, name
unknown, shot and head cut off; W. W. Slattock, wife and
two small children; Robert Clark, of Waterloo, in this
State; T. H Harriet; J. Harshman ; man unknown, with
■ sandy whiskers, black frock coat with velvet collar, and
checked velvet vest: Rowland Gardner, wife, and boy two
years old; ■ ■ Cropper, Mrs. Harvey Luce and two
children. The partially bnrht bones of two persons were
found in the ruins of one ot the cabins. Everything indi
cated the most determined resistance, and the most fiend
ish brutality marked the work of the lnforiated savages.
Nearly every one of the killed received from two to three i
death shots; the split open beads and dissevered limbs !
bore fearful testimony of the tomahawk, even after life had j
fled. A large nnmber of cattlo were shot and left undis- i
turbed upon the ground. Among the missing are Mrs. j
Thatcher, Joseph Howes, Sardis Ilowes, daughter of T.
> Howes, aged fourteen: three childreu of Mattocks and •
Harvey Luce—four of whom are known to have been taken j
prisoners. j
It is doubtful, whether in the history of Indian warfare j
a greater or more unprovoked outrage has ever been com- I
mitted than the present, and it looks as though it were J
the prestige of a general Indian warfare. Should this be, j
it will prove their last struggle east of the Missouri, for i
the avenging arm of the white man will destroy the last '■
remnant of their race. i
One would suppose this-outbreak would necessarily
check emigration to the North-west of the Slate, but ns |
long as the spirit of adventure is rife among our people, so |
long it will continue unchecked; and at this present time, ,
as many emigrants have passed through this place to settle \
on the field of blood, as lately fell there.
JOHN GARAGHTY" , j
As there are a groat may Pennsylvanians now in that j
country, and this lettor gives the Dames of those killed and j
missing, It will no doubt be eagerly sought for. The Lan
caster party are destined, we understand, for that region
where the murders have been committed, but no fears
‘ need be apprehended by their friends, as the settlers will
have completely routed the red skins before they arrive.—
A war of extermination is now destined to reign through
out the whole North-west, an«l nothing can chock the
avenging arm until the last of the red men falls before it.
This war is inevitable, and the work has already com
menced. It is estimated that there are some 200 or 300
* warriors in and around Spirit Lake, who ure desperate and
will fight to the laat, but their days are numbered. Alas !
poor Indian I
The ice in Lake Pipen, Minnesota, is becoming quite
rotten, and it i 6 thought a few days will entirely break it
up. We hope so.

charged with the murder ot Norcross, at Al
toona, last evening returned a verdict of mur
der in the first degree.
This morning McKim was sentenced tD be

The Allegheny County Harder.
Charlotte Jo ties, the young woman suspect
ed of having recently murdered her uncle and
aunt Wilson, in Elizabeth township, Allegheny
county, has been arrested, together with her
reputed husband, Henry Fife, and two men
named Stewart and Gardner. On being taken
before a magistrate, at Monongahela City, she
made a 'statement to the effect that on Tuurs
day she had taken the boat at that point and
went to, Elizabeth ; from thence, on foot, to
McKeesport, where she in company with
Henry Fife and Monroe Stewart, put up at
Wolfrs tavern ; that night the two men went
off, and returned before morning, saying that
they “ were flush of funds, and had plenty to
spree onthat she observed Fife's hand was
covered] with blood, which he accounted for
by naying that his nose had been bleeding; that
they immediately took her to a tavern on the
Youghogany river, and she saw no more of
them. ,
Subsequently she underwent a Becond ex
amination, and gave an account of about all
she new in regard to the affair.
She implicated in addition to Fife and
Stewart two others—one her own brother—
and T. Gardner. She stated that the parties
took from the cabin a considerable sum of
money,'seventy-five cents of which had been
given to her. On examining her person, a
small “ bull eye” watch was found which has
been recognized as belonging to Wilson.
In the meantime, Fife and Stewart, who
were stopping at Wolff's tavern, in McKees
port, were arrested about noon on Friday, a
large crowd having surrounded the house,
and were gathered there when officer Patter
eon arrived and took the two into custody.
When arrested, Fife was in bed. On the
skirt of his coat were found spots of blood,
which,!from appearances, he had attempted
to wash off. There were also spots of blood
on his shirt bosom and on the lining of his
coat sleeves. On his person was found a let
ter froth a sister of Charlotte Jones, postmark
ed Monongahela City, and addressed to Mon
roe Stewart, in which she expressed a regard
for Stewart, because he was such a " devilish
fellow,” and desired to see him and have a
“great'time.” Blood stains were found upon i
the skirt of Stewart's coat, and bloody finger I
marks on his pants’ pockets, which it appeared |
he had'attempted to tear out. I
Fife and Stewart underwent separate exam ;
itaations, and made contradictory statements, j
On Saturday evening Charlotte Jones made I
a statement before the Mayor of Pittsburg, i
implicating her brother, William Jones, and I
a man 1 named James Williams, with a long j
story about the whereabouts of herself, Fife j
and Stewart, on the night of the murder.— i
Subsequently £ on Sunday evening, she sent i
word b. jailor Phillips to Mayor Weaver,!
that she wished to tell all about it, and when i
brought to the Mayor's office, made the fol- 1
lowing statement:
On Monday last, 27th of April, 1857, Fife ;
told me he wished to see me on Thursday, at .
the bars at George Wilson’s ; asked him what ;
for; he told me he would tell mo when I came; j
I left Monongahela City in the boat, and got i
off at Elizabeth ; left there in the afternoon : .
arrived at the appointed place at dark; I i
waited there until about 15 minutes after 9 j
o’clock, when Fife came ; he had a bottle of •
brandy; Stewart came about 10 o’.clock; he
also bed a bottle of brandy ; they were both ;
in liquor ; they gave me some brandy : I drank ;
a good deal of it; Stewart then told me that :
1 they wanted me to go to Uncle George’s; I j
i asked them what for; they said they wanted !
; his money ; I told them I did not want to go, ;
| When Stewart drew a knife, and threatened if 1
i I would not they would kill me; I then went !
; with them ; Stewart told me to knock at the ;
door, which I did; Uncle George asked who j
1 was there ; I answered “ Charlotte Jones,” he 1
1 said he would get up and let me in ; Stewart j
i and Fife allowed they intended to kill them; !
; I told them for Uod’s sake not to do it; I did 1
j not think they would do it; thought they said \
it to frighten me ; uncle then opened the door, I
and I walked in; he said “good evening.” |
i and I walked up to the bed where aunt was 1
| lying ;. I asked her how she was; she said not
] very well; she was sick ; whilst I was talking
ito aunt, uncle went to the door; Stewart and
j Fife then rushed in ; Fife had a knife in his
! hand struck uncle on the breast with it; he
j never fcpoke; Stewart took hold of aunt, who
cried for God’s sake not to kill her ; aunt
jumped out of bed and caught hold of me for
protection ; I told them again not to murder
them that way, when they said “ shut up or
they would do the same to mo.” Stewart first
tlsrew her down and choked her, then stamped
on her head with the heel of his boot; he then
called to Fife for his knife ; he said it was no
use, as it was bent; he then called for a case
knife ; that not killing her, he ran to the cor
ner of the room and took a .poker and struck
her twice on the head, when I ran out, as I
could stand it no longer; after I was out hi
the yard I heard them breaking open the
chest; there was no light but a fire in the fire
place ; they wore in the house about fifteen
minutes ; I did not go into the house again ;
when they came out they took hold of me, and
threatened to kill me ; they then me swear
the most awful oaths that I would not tell; :
their hands were bloody ; we then started for
McKeesport; it was after one o’clock ; we ar
rived at the bank of the Yough at nearly two
o’clock, where we all sat down and drank
more brandy; they showed money to me there;
j it was all in half dollars ; we sat there a very
■ short time, but while there, Monroe Stewart
1 threatened me again that they would kill me
if I told on them ; we then went over the river
in a skiff, using pieces of boards for oars ; we
then went from the river to the railroad, and
walked down the track a short distance; they
.stopped and caught hold of me and allowed
that they were afraid that I would tell on them,
and they again threatened to kill me, when I
swore I would never tell; after that Stewart
again caught hold of me, when Fife interfered,
and said I never would tell; we all then went
to Wolff’s; we got into the'house by going up
aback alley, and in the back door; it was
dark, but I think there were three beds in
the room, and a man in one of theraj in the
corner ; we all laid down in one bed ; we laid
over an hour, when we all got up together,
just before daylight; they allowed they did
not want Wolff’s family to see me there, and
they hurried me within a Bhort distance of
Mrs. Alaxander's tavern where they left me;
at this time Stewart gave me one dollar, and
Fife fifty cents ; they told me not to go to the
tavern until six or seven o'clock, but I went
there immediately; about four weeks ago my
brother William told Fife, at my father’s
house, that my uncle Wilson had money ; he
stated that he had nine or ten hundred dol
lars ; I never was married to Henry Fife; Jus
i tice M’Nary, of Washington county, declined
I to marry us, on account of his being so young;
i I never was in Wolff’s tavern except on Friday
| morning, and it was on Saturday that I went
I to Uncle George Wilson’s ; I did not see Fife
lon Sunday morning. (She then went on to
j correct her former statement.) The watch in
j my possession belongs to myself, and was giv-
I en to me by Charles Bchanna.

FARMERS of Lancaster County, who are in want of
a strone, well made, reliable REAPING and MOWING
MACHINE, will find it greatly to their interest to get one
ATKINS’ SELF-RAKING REAPER and MOWER.
These Machines have met with unprecedented success, and
given full satisfaction to those using them; and the pro
prietor has spared neither pains Dor expense in adding im
provements that make them decidedly the most desirable
article in this country. With tho improvements' now made
they are tho best combined Reaper and Mower in uso, hav
ing a knife that does not choke; and while they are a great
labor saver, are also a great Grain-saver, relieving one of
the Intolerable labor of Raking, and doing it so much bet
ter a* to save one or two hands In binding. .
They can be adapted to cut all kinds of Grain or Grass,
and are very light of Draft. Nothing but the very best
materials are used, In their construction, and each machine
is driven by steam-power before leaving the Shop to see
that every thing is right.
We have a largo number of recommendations from Far
mers who have them in use; and knowing the machines
to act as they are recommended, have no hesitation in
warranting them to give eutire satisfaction. If they do not
please after trial, they can be returned. Call and see for

Ketobtxm’e Combined Harvester,
The superiority of Ketchum's Reaper and Mower having
been fully established by more than six years of severe
practical trial, with more than TWELVE THOUSAND
MACHINES which have been sold, It is now offered to the
Farmer as without an equal, and as tho only reliable ma
chine for all kiodß of grain and grass.
IMPROVEMENTS FOR 1857.
The improvements for 1867, are: perfecting aud
strengthening the guard finger; adding a seat for the dri
ver while reaping; increasing the length of the cutter
bar; a supporting rod to the cutter bar while reaping;
an adjustable wheel to the cutter bar far mowing, by which
the draft is materially lessened both while cutting and in
backing; a rear and side delivery for grain; an uuj us table
spriog seat for the raker, together with other important
Improvements constituting a perfect machine, which is
warranted to cut from teu to fifteen acres of grass or grain
in a day as well as it can be done with a scythe ur cradle.
The experience of the past has furnished a remedy fur all
defects. The improvements have all been thoroughly tested
in the harvest- field and are therefore improvements in
fact and not merely in theory. The price of the Mower
alone is $ll6, and of the combined Reaper ami Mower
$135, delivered at any of the Railroads or Wharves of the
city. Early orders respectfully solicited. Farmers are
invited to call at our now Agricultural Warehouse and
Seed Store and examine tbe improved machines as well as
our other stock of Implements and seeds, all the castings,
Ac., for the last year’s machines constantly on hand.
