CC7The Liquor Movement in New - Yo'rlc is
very violent: The friends of the liquor lan; on
one side, and , the liquor dealers on the other,
are holding nightly meetings in reference. to
the enforcement...of the law on the 4th of July
inst.—One is'determined to have the, law en
forced, and the other seems equally determined
to interpose every legal obstacle which can
invite its enforcement. Mayor Woo\ .'s in
"d t,
Structions to the Police relative to their du les
appear to give pretty general satisfaCiion.
The temperance folks talk of appealing to the
laws, and the liquor people assert that, to'be
just what they also intend to do, while the
Mayor is anxious for a legal decision in the
premises. The Carson League are busy or
ganizing'their forces -for complaining against
the dealers, while the latter make no secret - of
their intention to prosecute the League, on the
ground of - conspiracy. We may, therefore,
look for stirring times, on and after the fourth,
hi the Empire city.

The Crops
The Indians
The Indians on the north-estern frontier
have for some time past evinced a strong dis
position to ,set the U. - S. government at eleti-
Lance,_aedthOprpression is noy4retty getter";
al that a fierce and protracted Indian war is
fast approaChing. - Troops are being sent into
.our western territories in Ear e numbers, in
anticipation of difficulties. The Indians are
also gathering in large bodies, preparatory, as
it is supposed. to a bold and determined as
sault, in the mean time being actively engaged
in robbing emigrant trains, murdering the em
igrants, &C.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune,
- writing from Council Bluffs, (lowa,) June 9,
gives an account of a reported massacre of an
emigrant party of men, supposed to . _ be Mor
mons, and the capture of their women and
children, besides two colored women. His ac
count is as follows :
"N o white men were seen among them, and
the inference is, and so the friendly Sioux re
ports, that the hostile bands had attacked the
emigrant trains, which left here about five
weeks ago, and have killed the men and captor
e►! the women and children. This conclusion
is also strengthened by the fact that there were
two colareil_wornen accompariying the 'trains
when they passed _through here on their way
westward. The Sioux chief who brought this
report is well known in this vicinity, and is
bel;eved to he trustworthy. The Indians seem
to be fully aware of the hostile expedition on
its way into their country, and have taken this
opportunity
. to set the power of the, general
government at defiance. If the latter is deter
mined to have a fight with them, the sooner it
gets its troops on the ground thi! better. Sev
eral sovernn►ent steamers are now said to he
on their • way up the Missouri river, destined
for the sections of country along the northern
limits of the Union.--If this he trite, we may
expect to bear something soon from the move
ments of the military they have on board,
.which will give us some clue to the
.progress
of the ? war."

it would not bear that classification, some of

lit-appears-at first-in-some-discolored-spot, say

mortification.—lf suppuration takes place, it
passes off; hut, if not, death is sure to fol

not epidemic to any form. _
One or two physicians have resorted to the
knife, ar s id cut out the plague spot on its first
appearance, and . : so have saved life.- Fever
and delirium attend the progress of the disease,
if "the spot" is left to spread. Such is our

.A.VoTuEn MATT. WARD II FFAILL.—We learn
from a gentleman who was an eye-witness, the
following particulars of a most horrible And'
tragical affair that occurred at Pontiac, Miss.,
on Monday last. It appears that Mr. Brown,
the principal of the male academy at Pontiac.
had punished one of his pupils about a week
since. A brother of the boy that was whipped,
by the name of Wray, made threats against
Mr. Brown for- the afore Said punishment, to
which hut little attention was paid.. On Mon
day, young Wray, a youth of some seventeen
or eighteen years old, took a position where
Mr. Brown would pass on his way home from
school, and waited until he came 4liang, when
Wray attacked hint.
.The two clinched, Brown only acting in self
defence, and these who saw it thought it only
to be a seullte between than, until they saw
Brown run a few yards. his hands npou his
abdomen, and fill down lifeless. While 'they
wet e clinched, 1V ray had inflicted two wounds
upon Mr. Brown with a large bowie knife,
which killed hint almost. instantly' . The young
matt was arresied at once. Mr. Brown was a
man much reSp"Cled, and leaves a young. wid
ow, to whom he had been married but a few
Months, to mourn his early and untimely end.
This is one of the mpst horrible, cold-blooded
murders we have noticed for sonse. time, and is
a deeper outrage than the Matt. Ward case.—

ing Alaiden Hue and Courtfand street with iron
pavement. and there is a prospect of their re
commendation being adopted. The iron pave

tried two years ago, and it is said to have been
successful, though we bare never heard of its
having been adopted very extensively in that
