ave hanging coats and pantaloons.
The whole rests on a platform deco?

Ttys Indian War.
MORE ATROCITIES-ATTACKS UPON GOV?
ERNMENT. AND EMIGRANT TRAINS
MASSACRES.
Mr. Armstrong, of the Overland
Park Station, and P. S. Murphy, of
the Seven Mile Ran$h, give tis parti?
culars of Indian outrages that occurred
between Big Laramie and RockrCreek,
last Friday.
A simultaneous attack was made all
along the road between the two points
named. At one point, the Indians
attacked a single emigrant wagon,
coming np and professing peaceable
intentions, telling the old man who
was driving not to be alarmed, as they
would not hurt him. "When they ar?
rived hear enough, a single arrow Avas
shot through his body} killing him in?
stantly. His wife aud two children
were killed, the body of the wife being
shockingly mutilated-our informants
say, "literally disjointed, her head
scalped, and skull stove iu." They
then captured three females who were
in the wagon, aged respectively about
eleven, eighteen and twenty-five years.
Starting from the spot, they had gone
about two miles, when the youngest
girl, who continued to make an out
cay, had seven arrows shot into her,
and was left ti* die.*
The wounded girl was found and
taken to Laramie, where she received
Surgical attention, and is now doing
well, with a prospect of recovery.
She is spoken of as being quito intelli?
gent, and says that the first arrow that
wounded her was fired by a white man.
Perry Abbott's train was attacked
three miles this side of Rock Creek,
and had lively fighting for five miles,
when the Indians retired. The train
sustained no injury, and the men think
they killed four of the attacking party.
A' Government train was attacked at
Seven Mile Ranch, between Cooper's
Creek and Little Laramie. The party \
with the trahi succeeded in keeping
their assailants off, and sustained no j
injury. Half way between the Ranch !
and Little Laramie another train was
attacked-particulars not known. Ona
incident of the day deserves especial
mention. The Indians, after killing
Sergt. Cooley, captured his horse and
tied the leading reins of two of their
ponies to him. The horse broke away
froni his captors and led the two
ponies with him. A boy soldier,
whose horse had been taken away from
him by a cowardly white man, who
wanted to get out of danger, caught
the horse aud fought his way safely in
with Iris prize. Twelve white persons
were killed, one wounded, and two
captured, in all the attacks made dur?
ing the day. Qeu. Conner, willi a ,
force of 4,000 men, left Fort Laramie,
on th#27th, for Powder River.
[Dearer News, August 10.
A modern Leander has turned up.
A little fellow, aged fifteen, a few days
since, escaped from Randall's Island,
by swimming across the Fast River to
New York. He was followed by an
officer, and traced to the Albany boat
lying in the Hudson River. But catch?
ing sight of tho officer, he jumped
overboard and swam around a pier to
the Troy boat. Here he was caught
and given iu charge of the officer,
from whom he immediately slipped
away and jumped overboard again,
swimming back to tho Albany boat.
This time tho boat WHS moving out of ?
the slip on ber way to Albany. He
caught fast to one of the stauncheons
under the guard in front of the paddle,
and there remained for twelve hours,
all night, and until the boat reached
Albany. Before he secured bis perch,
however, he was struck once by one
of the paddles and had his bead luid
open. The telegraph notified the
officials at Albany, who were on the
lookout for the little water dog when
the steamer arrived. He saw them in
a boat coming for him, and hopped
off from his perch into thc water, and
there baffled their efforts by diving
and swimming under water for two
hours before capture. He was return?
ed to Randall's Island. If he was
only as good at lifting as he is at
swimming, what a serviceable "grap?
pler" for the Atlantic cable lie would
make.
The Wilmington (N.C.) Herald says
that President Johnson has decided
that pardon ??ries with it immediate
restoration of ?di property, except
slaves; that 4he Freedman's Bureau
must give up at once all property of
the non-excepted classes who have
taken the oath, and also of thc exclud?
ed as soon as pardoned, even when
the property is already in-court ; but
in the latter case the cost must bc
paid. This decision was given to Col.
Short, of Louisiana, on the 14th ult.
The exports of petroleum from Jan?
uary 1st to July 14th of the present
year, were 13,338,217 gallons; for the
same time last year, .5,41 t,0L>4 gallons.
So much taken from tho whale, oil
trade, which the whales will not regret.
A NEW FAITH. -A new religion had
its birth in New York city, on the 31st
of July. It was sired by a Scotchman
by the name of Davidson, and, of
. course, damned by fanaticism, and
damned by the papers and the public
generally. Davidson claims to bc a
brother of Christ, if so, ho must be
the Wandering Jew. We have never
heard of him by that name before, as
that notable wanderer has borne many
cognomens which smack of Jewish
origin, such as Joseph, Ahashuens
and Caftaphilus, but Davidson is too
common to savor of Israeli tish origin.
Again, if he is a brother of the Sa?
viour, he has remained a long time in
these "low grounds of sorrow," with?
out making known his genealogy.
Davidson ia assisted by a man named
Noyes Wheeler, who claims to have
been sent by the Angel Gabriel to be
a leader of the new sect, and will be
immediately immersed by a "high
priestess, daughter of Zion and hand?
maiden of the Lord," the Angel Ga?
briel beiqg present, and aiding and
abetting.
This "brother of? Christ" seems to
give no proof of his identity by miracle
or otherwise, as he considers it useless
where. faith is wanting, and wlmre
faith exists it is unnecessary. On thc
whole, he ousts Moran>nisiir> com?
pletely. We wonder if Boston is not
jealous of New York being thc?birth?
place of the bantling.
A PROPOSED OVERGROUND RAILWAY
IX NEW YOKE.-The New York Pusl
"savs:
We hear that Mr. Richard Mont?
gomery will shortly put up a stretch
of his proposed overground railroad,
on Broadway, half a dozen blocks in
length, that citizens may see what he
intends. This line will he built upon
iron posts, and will run over thc
pavement, on a level with tho second
stories of Hie better class of buildings.
The inventor claims that it is cheap,
safe, speedy, and that it will not en?
cumber Broadway even while it i>
building.
The Post also states that it is thc
intention of tue inventor b? move tin
train by "practical application ol
atmospheric presssure," and quotes, ii
I this connexion, an ext met from ar
article in an English journal on this
I subject. Thc Po*/, iu conclusion,
sn vs :
The application of some motivt
power as this, would remove the ooh
tenable objection to Mr. Montgonie
ry's plan-the. unpleasantness to mei:
and women, walking in Broadway, <>.
having a locomotive rushing over theil
hoads.
ALTERING THE TEXT.- AU anecdote
is told of. the Bishop of Exeter, Eng
kud. The scene is a church in Tro
(juay; tho Bishop is present, but not
officiating, and he sits with the cou
gregation. The officiating olergymai
wateres to soften to ears polite th
phrase "eat and drink their own dam
nation." He reads it "cohdemua
tion. " A voice is (heard energetical!;
exclaiming, "damnation!" Th
whole church is startled. But it i
not a profane epithet they hear; it i
the voice of the Bishop in rebuke o
the officiating minister.
The recognition of Italy by Spaii
has caused great surprise among th
''Catholic nations of Europe. Dnti

by the defection, it would be unjin

j Queen and Cabinet. The Episcopate
however, is making a noble stand,'an
the letter of the Archbishop of Burg?
to Inn* most Catholic Majesty end
with little less than a threat of excon
munication.
A SHOOTING AFFAIR*-A negr
woman was brought down on Sat u:
day, from about twenty-six miles i
thc country, severely wounded. "
appears from a statement mailt? by h<
father, that the deed was committc
by her husband, who, without eau:
or provocation, tired his gun at her ;
a short distance, and put a fuji load i
i shot into her back. She was brongl
down in quest of medical attendanc
