committed at that place a few days previous. A Ger
man laboring ‘voman, name unknown, has for some

1 )wer corner of Third street, in the neighborhood of
the 'Tow Hill' negro quarters. She was last seen a
week or ten days ago—but as she frequently was enga
ged abroad as a washer woman, her prolonged ab
sence excited but little remark. On the , II th Istrvev

lying on the floor; which on being raised presented a

The body of the unfortunate woman lay there, in a
high state of decomposition --he r throat having been
eza from ear to ear! The skull was also severely
fractured in two places, and in addition, a large gash

The Western Expositor, published at Independence

"Three gentlemen :arrived in our mum this week, di

of Aug.. arid came by way of Bent's Fort. They left
the company with which they came, a few riav4 ago,

of the traders that started this spring. with Dr. I.2ast,
had all arrived safe in Santa Fe, anti the; had received
word at Santa Fe before they left by express, that the
other csinpaiii.., were going on finely, and no doubt
had gone through safe. The mit , is now entirely clear

of the disarming of the Texians .by Cupt. Cook, had a

Santa Fe. The Americans were treated with more
h.tspita!ity and kindness than they had ever been be
fore, while but a ch a rt time previous, they had been in
danger of their lives, and had been repeatedly insulted
by the populace!.
