The Last Indian Massacre.
The report of the massacre ofCnpt. Gun-
Ifiion; of the army; and a number of his gal
lant party engaged on a survey through the
ountry of the Utah Indians, Comes, unhap
pily, in too direct and authentic a shape to
leave any hope of its being incorrect. There
is none of the appearance of improbability
about it that surrounded the similar story
about Capt. Marty, and sustained the hopes
of his friends until his safety was established.
The first account of it that we have is
di
rectly. from the Governor of Utah, who has
'employed such limited means asWere in his
power to rescue the survivors and punish
the savages,
The expedition cernmanded by Capt.
Uunnison was sent out to survey a route for
a Pacific railroad, which was recommended
by Senator Garin last winter. The route
has that of Mr. Richard 11. Kern, formerly
of Philadelphia, who received an appoint
ment as commander of the topographical
arty, and who has fallen also amon g th e
.ictims of savage cruelty. Mr. Kern was
one of the most daring . .intelligent, experien
cod arid cultivated pioneers of vast west
i.rn wilds. Ile had aCvvral times crossed
the continent, and was on Fremont's last ill
fated expedition, in which his brother, n
j Kern, was killed by hos;ile. Indians.
Both these gentlemen were unsurpassed in
'their professions. Richard, whose sad fate
Is now mourned by his friends, was a very
'superior draughtsman, a thorou.,h scholar,
an accomplished- linguist, and gifted with
that sagacity and energy which are so inval
uable to those who lead a mountain and iron.;
tier life. Had he lived,'he would doubtless
have rendered .good service to the country.
We have no information in reference to
the other victims of this calamity ; but as ;
such parties are akays composed of picked
men, there have probably been others mas
sacred equally gifted and equally beloved.
The cause of the disaster lies in that mica-:
ken policy so long pursued by our govern
merit, of sending off small squads of men
thousands of miles out of the reach of suc- 1
cour. through regions known to be inhabited;
by the wildest amid most blood-thirsty sara-!
ges,.whose hostility to the whites increases
with every new step made to explore their
lands or open the way to white occupancy.
We shall be surprised if the other explc
ring expeditions escariesimilar outrages, and
we trust that the bitter, lesson given in this
tragedy may be the means of introducing a
new system. It will not do merely to pun
ish the perpetrators of this last massacre.-- I
That will not restore the victims, though it
army terrify the murderers. But it should
be a fixed rule to send out a military force.:
of at least several hundred men, with every
exploring party, armed so as to sot at deli
ance the predatory bands of savages who
make the passage to the Pacific a gauntlet I
of death.
FROM NtIV MEXICO—THE GOLD PL WEDS.
The Santa Pe Gazette, of October 20th,
contains letters. ejeing rnot , t flattering ac-1
counts of the richness or the New Mexican
Gold Placers. A letter front the Placers.,'
dated October ;sth, describes the erection of
six mills for crushing the ore, and though
they were not yvt fairly at work, the writer
has no doubt of their success. A letter from
Dr. bangle says:
"I spoilt very nearly a meek, some four
or five years ago, in an examination of these
mines. I will particularly describe the re
sult of my observations with regard to one.
"The Davenport Aline." The body of ore
contained in this mine is a horizontal stratum ,
• of gold-bearing rock, having e dip of about
42 degrees, cropping out on a diet), wide
ravine, half a mile south of the principal
gold depot of the old Placer, and so far as it
bas been followed9and its indications observ
ed, it is inexhaustible. IVhcre this ravine
opens out in the champaign country, there
was formerly a very large deposit of gold
found in the earth and wash of the ravine ;
at least 8300,000 worth of gold has been oh
tained by the :Vlexican population at this
place, by washing. The ore of the mine is
rich. 1 have no hesitation in asserting it to
be the richest mine that has yet been discov
ered. I took ten pounds of selected pieces
out of this mine, pounded it up in a mortar,'
submitted it to the amalgamating process,
end obtained sufficient gold to make a hand-
some ring, about $5 worth, or 50 cents to
the pound. I next took some twenty or
thirty pounds of the average quality of the I
ore, as the miners threw it on the bank ; I
from this ore, (passing through no hands but
my own,) I obtained a yield of gold of at least
ten cents in the pound of rock. I have been
in the quartz mining regions of California,
and though I have seen far richer "speci
mens," yet I heve seen no body of ore more
easily worked or likely to produce richer re
sults than this mine."
The Santa Fe' Gazette, of the 22d ult.,
,announces the arrival of Col. Cooke, and
says.: "C o l. C. is well known throughout
he .country for the valuable services render
ed by him in various parts of the West. In
18 40, it will be recollected that he disarmed
the band of marauders under SniVely. In
/ 846 he was sent in advance by General
Kearny in the occupation of this territory,
stud afterwards opened a communication
with California with a train of wagons.—
Prom his well known energy of character,
wo entipi,pake,no.litoa good .to the Territory,
read his urbanity commend him to the
friendship of all."
The, whole vote given in the Territory of
New Mexico at the lateelection, is set down
of 9.497 ; of which Governor Lane received
4,520,- and Gallegos 4,971 ; but the extra
ordinary vote - of. San Miguel county-267f0r Lane and 1,397 for Gaileges—shoivs
that there was ihenting on a. big figure.—
Indeed, in the county of Santa Fe, the Grand
Jury found twenty add bills of indictment
against men who voted for Gallegos, for
perjury and fradulent voting, and they ex
press the opinion that they were Kim one
tenth of the number really voting.
The ~.corner stone of the new building in
tended for the Capitol, was laid on the Bth
of October, by Gov. Merriwethey, in 'fres
,ence,nl a large assemblage of citizens. • ,
Rates of Postage.
We are !sorry to see, that one or two re
spectable papers, which are no doubt coeni
zant of the Postmaster General's intentions,
refer to a proposed increase of the rates of
postnge at the ensuing session of Congress,
with vague expressions of its justice, because
they predicted, when the present bill was
passed, that it would not sustain of itself,
the expenses Of the Department ; and now
they appear to be anxious that their predic
tion shall he realist d !
To talk of going, back to liblher rates of
postage, should be considered in this day of
prosperity and progress, to be rank treason ;
and the Cabinet ()Weer who would dare to
reconiniend it. and ;he member of Congress
who would dare to propose it, ought to be
consigned to political death, never again to
be resuscitated.
The prating about the Department not
sustaining itself, is an old foreyisin of the
deepest dye; worthy of the clink nes, and
ought to find no countenance in Adinin
. istration prof ssing, to be Democratic. If
people are to 're eiiive nothing from their
Government except what they pay full mar
ket price for, while they are required to coo
tribuie millions upon millions annually, in
over-paying another Dopartment—they ha ve
but a poor bargain of it. and the sooner they
back out of it, and make another, more in
consonance with republican sentiment and
present requirement, the better it will be for
their general welfare, and the more honora;
ble to the position which their country occu•
pies in the eyes of the world.
It will not do to halt now,' almost before
we have started on our great career, and go
back to things and practices that are obso
lete. It is not only utterly impracticable as
a measure of internal policy so to do, but it
would be discreditable to us as a nation, in
falsifying those substantial evidence's of pro
gress in govermental policy as well as in in
dustrial prosperity, which are justly our
boast and glory.
We therefore scout the idea of an increas
ed rate of postage; and we warn the politi
cal suicide who may recommend it.
A Magician Put to Flight.
At Vicksburg recently, a conjurer, who
called himself ‘VVMAN, after going through
the usual feats of slight of hand—such as
burning n card, loading a pi,sl,9l..t.vith the
ashes, and firing it into a warrint where the
identical card was found unharmed, taking
egg alter egg from an empty bag, pouring
twenty kinds of liquor from one, and the
same bottle, breaking watches into a thous
and pieces, ipixing together the fragments,
and after certain magical words, restoring
them to their owners just as he had received
them, with various other exhibitions of a
like character, exposing the absurdity of the
old adage that "seeing is believing"—in
formed the spectators that he was about to
proceed to the weir riderful experiment ofal
lowing a gentleman to load and fire a pistol
and he would c:itch the ball in his hand.—
At that ammunrement a decent looking man
in the crowd called 'out to him to be on his
I.d. "Take good aim," said the mag,ici•
-or I may miss the ball." The pistol
was fired and Wvmws with a look of tri
umph, held up his hand with the bullet,—
Theapplause that followed had hardly sub
sided when two pistols were fired—in a mo•
ment he was seen playing with a ball in each
hand. 'You should not fire, without notice,'
said he ; "you might have killed me ; it was
my skirt that saved me." Scarcely were
those words pronounced, when a voice in
front called out, "You devil, be on your
guard." WYMAN saw a pistol levelled at him
but there was no thee for exclamtion—the
report followed., accompanied by a crush that
told the ball, had entered a plank near his
head. "lour God's sake, gentlemen, this is
no joke !" "Elere is another—you may have
better luck iircatching this time." A re
port and crash followed as before. The
macrician could stand it no longer, but utter
ing a scream of terror very ludicrously made
his exit at a side door, amid the shouts and
laughter of the company. The audience
waited some time, but the wizard did not
appear. The confusion increased, benches
were demolished, lights extinguished, ladies
shrieked, &c., but Wvmits was not forth
coming. tie had made his escape on the
steamer General Pike, internally resolving
never again to catch a bullet in his hand on
the banks of the Mississippi.

NEBRASKA TERRITORV.---.The Washing
ton correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce has conversed with Mr. 101INSON I the
delegate elect from Nebraska, who is a very
wonhy and intelligent man, and has lived
in the Indian country many years. He is
a missionary, and has two flourishing Indian
schools in that region. He surprises one
with facts as to the importance of that coun
try, and the facility with which it is to be
peopled, and brought into the Union, in the
furor of several States. We have always
been slow to conceive the magnificence and
expansiveness of our own possessions, and
our own institutions. Mr. JOHNSON states
that there are only thirty-six, thousand Indi
ans in that vast region, extending from lat.
thirty-six, thirty, to forty-four,and Westward
to the Rocky Mountain.
Seven thousand of them are already par
tially civilized. He wishes to protect all of
them, and, if possible, to prevent the ex
tinction towards which they are tending.—
'The bill which paf...ed the House at the late
session, for the establisfitnent of the Territo
rial Government of Nebraska, gave to it a
region six hundred miles in length, and four
hundred in breadth. Mr. Johnson will
probably propose two Territorial Govern
ments. The white population in Nebraska
is from all quarters of the Union,
AtAN SCALDED TO DEATIL.--.011 Saturday

ende of a coroner's jury. •
I New Calender In China.
According to the North• China Herald,
the leader of the Insurgents in China has is
sued a Proclamation in which he announ
ces a new Calender. It makes every year
to contain 300 days, every Odd month 31
days, and every even month 30 days. The
seasons are—commencement of Spring, be
ginning February 11th ; clear and bright
seasons, beginning April sth ; period of
bearded grain, beginning June Gth ; com
mencement of Autumn, Aug. 6th ; seasons
of cold dew, date net given ; and season of
great snow, December 7th. The, editor of
the North China Herald, remarks of this
new calender, that it is undertaken to torm
a solar divi;ion of the months instead of that,
combination of solar and lunar, which have
existed from time immemorial. Each of
their months consists of two solar terms or
one sign of the zodiac. They also make
another error in making the solar year con
sist• of three hundred and sixiy-six days
every year, instead of once in four years.—
They also make their Sabbath fall on Satur
day. •
Another part of the Proclamation relative
to lucky and unlucky days, is so replete
with good sense that it may be read with
profit even by some in our more civilized
hinds.
'All the corrupt doctrines and perverted
views of preceding, almanacs are the result
of the devil's cunning devices to deceive and
delude mankind; we your majesty's servants
have therefore set ttem aside ; for the years
months, days and hours are all determined
by our Heavenly Father ; thus every year
is lucky and favorable, every month is lucky
and favorable, and every day as well as eve
ry
hour is lucky and favorable ; how can
they be classified under good and bad, and
what can be the use of selecting one period
above another ? Whoever truly venerates'
our Heavenly Father, the Supreme Lord
and great God, is under the protection of
'leaven, and can engage in his duties when-;
ever he thinks proper; every season there-1
fore may be considered as prosperous and
fu vora ble.'

a *Vele Volume.
Prospectuk.
In commencing a riew volume of "The
Notion," the subscriber begs to say a few
words to its readers and the world at large.
Twelve months ago, when the second vol
ume was begun, its circulation %Vas but fif
teen thousand, all told ; it has now reached
thirty 'thousand, and increases with every
number. As with its circulation, so with
its improvement, the last number is always
the best one. This ; however, is accounted
for' when its character, and the money laid
out upon it, is considered. Unlike many
similar attempts in this country, 'it does riot
copy cuts from the London Punch, and the
like French and English pub!ications, but
has a corps of artists of its own, whom it
pays liberally for their best efiorts ! Its mul
titudes of pictures, even its smaller initial
' letters, are designed for it, and for no other
paper !"l'his, and the amount, and ability
' of reading matter in each number. has run
it up to fifteen thousand in twelve months,
arid will run it up twenty thousand mare
during the next year.
For the literary portion of .The Notions,'
the subscriber says nothing, and for the best
of all reasons,'it speaks for itself !' It ranges
over the whole ground of wit and humor,
from the keenest boa mot and repartee, to
the broadest and richest joke, and anecdote.
Tales, essays, sketches, witticisms, from the
best writers in the country ; glances at pass
ing events at home and abroad, and in fact,
it is a general omnium gatherum of carien
tures. Thus it has been during the two
years of its existence, and thus , and a great
deal more, too, it will be in its third volume.
Each number will consist of thirty-two quar
to pages, double columns, and will contain
from fifty to one hundred illustrations. It
will be printed on,gnod paper, on clean new
type, and, what is most wonderful of all, af.
