I.vniAH Massacre o.t the Pi.aixs ? A LadyTake* CoyttPA?The Council Bluff* (Iowa) Bugleha* the following account of a tragedy In themurder and robbery of Col B. W. Babbitt'* trainof governmentproperty, by the Cheyenne ladianaon the Plain*:

On Monday night, the 35th of August, the littletrain with Alexander Nichols, (one of ourcitizens)a* captain and conductor, and Mr*. WiUon and infant, from St. I<oui*, a young man named Orren1 arrinh, a man from Pennsylvania, and another,nameunknown, accompanying, were encampedupon Prairie creek, ten miinaeast from Wood river. neither fearful or dreaming of danger whenthey were suddenly attacked by a band of Cheyennes, (which for some cause bad been attackedaud driven by the soldiers at Kearney.) Orrenl'arrish only escaped uninjured to the fort, whilstthe other young man received a dangerouswoundfrom a bullet in tho leg.

Some day* after, a detachment wa* *ent fromthe fort, (tweuty miles,) who found the dead bodyof Mr. Nichols some tweuty yards from tho wa-gon, also the dead body of the gentleman fromPennsylvania close by, and the dead body of thechild, with its brains dashed out and horribly mu-tilated. The pillow where the child and motherslept was bloody, and a portion of the torn wardrobe of Mrs Wilson on the ground, bnt her bodywas nowhere to be found. The oxen (ten yoke)and all the mules were gone, and the wagonsrifledof much of their contents.

It seems, however, that a band of Omaha hunt-ers happened near just after the murder, and intime to stop the pillageand recover the money andsome other valuables stolen, which were honestlyturned over to the Colonel iu command of thecorps.

Mrs Wilson has doubtless been wounded, andthen carried away captive. The young man whoescaped with a wound, is in the hospital at thefurt; aud the wagons, and what property remained,were also taken to the fort These are the particu-lar?. as far as we cangather them. Ia a fewdayswe Khali, however, no doubt get a full detailed ac-count of the matter from the pen of Mr. Babbitthimself, which we will lay before our readers.The Cheyemies are a warlike and cruel race,numberingseveral thousand, who inhabit a jme ofthe wild aud almost impenetrablevalliea lu thefastnesses of the ltocky Mountains, southwestfrom Fort Lsramle, and seldom comeout except torob, plunder,or go to war with other tribe*. Ouremigration willnever be safe until these mercilesspirates are exterminatedThe same tribe of Indians recently attacked themail between Oregon, Mo., and Fort Kearney ?

For this they were pursued by Captaiu Stewart'scompanyand a detachment under Lieut. Wheaton.Ou the 23d ult they caiae upon them in camp,charged upon and killed ten of them on the ground,captured twenty-five head of ponies, a great manylances, shields, and nearly everything they had incamp.

The Collins Line ?It is stated that since thegovernmenthas decided to reduce the pay to theCollins line, on account of the aiail contract, thecompany has resolved to reduce their rate of speed,thereby avoiding an increased ratio of wear and'ear, diminishing the consumption of fuel, andlessening the size of the crews?arguing that if thegovernment caunot afford to pay for great speedprivate individuals cannot do it. The New YorkJournal of Commerce says :

? The greater economy of the new arrangementis apparent from the fact that the average con-sumption of coal per day at high speed is eigh-ty-five tons; at low speed fifty-five tons.?This is a difference equal to $4,000 per voy-age, and it is a calculated that the saving in wearand tear of machinery will equal this amount; sothat the total saving on twenty-sixround trips, asrequiredby contract, will exceed $200 000 per an-num, or more than compensate for the loss of pay.It is claimed that there is nothing in the contractbinding as to speed, but simply that the vessels"bball be built for high speed."

The ELSSLERS ?It is not Fanny Elssler, as sev-eral journals have anuounced, but Thereae Els-sler, her sister, whom Prince Adalbert of Prussiamarried morgacatically in 1852. Fanny Elsslerresides in Vienna, aud has done so since her retire-ment from the stage in 1853?N. ¥. Post.

Death from theBursting of a Soda-waterBottle?Au inquest was held on Tuesday at theManchester Royal Infirmary on the body o.f JohnDay, of Ooulden street. Henry Cheetbam statedthat he and the decease were working for Mr.John Skerratt, ginger beer manufacturer. Ashewas filling a glass bottle with soda water from amachine which fills the bottle and corksit, it broke,and apiece of the glass struck Day on the side ofhis face. He bled very much, and was takpn tothe Royal Infirmary, where he died.?Manchester{Eng.) Guardian

The Dutchman and the Milkman ?ADutchman, in Albany, some time back, went outto his milkman in the street, with a dish in eachhand, instead of one, as usual. The dispenser ofattenuated milk asked if he wished him to fill bothvessels. The Dutchman replied, suiting the action to the word,?"Dis for de rniiluk and dis f«rde water, and I will mix them so as to shute my-self'

Tom Thumb and Baknum.?A private letterfrom Paris says that M. Vattemare has received aletter from Baruum, in whichthe letter asks V'sadvice about the project of his bringing TomThumb to Europe agaiu on a speculation, whetherbis autobiogropby has not injured any specula-tion. &c. Vattemare replied tfcat, on the contrary,he had now more reputation than ever, so muchso that be would, perhaps, make more money toallow Tom Tbumh toexhibit him

THE Tort Pike ?Seeing mentionof the Cbar-t®r Oak a few days *l*ce, brought to our mind theremembrance of the-Tory Pine- I* the lowerpart of Sampaou County, N 0., almost la aight ofPreadwell ? Cre*4 Road*, stands a large pineknown a* the "Tory .Pine." Thl* notable treestands In a swamp surrounded by a very denseundergrowth, and can only be aeen by the exerciseof aorne trouble and patience, and the endurance ofa few brier teratches. During the RevolutionaryWar there were a few Tories In that region ofcountry lying between Black River and Moore'sCreek. These Tories found themselves at onetime in so critical a condition as to make conceal-ment necessary, so they encamped in the swampand built their fires by the side of this large pine.There they concealed themselves for months, andlived by what game they could capture in thewoods, and the assistance "oftheir femalerelatives,who met them at stated times. The "Tory Pine"is doubtless the monarch of many centuries, andstill looks green and flcuriiblng. It i* 30 feetid c'ucumference at the ground, and 27 feet in cir-cumference 3 feet above the ground. The scar madeby fire is five feet broad and 7 feet high, and thishollow has often served as a shelter for huntersand persons working in the adjacentwoods. Longmay the old tree live, as a testimony that tho To-ries of the Revolution found it more expedient tohide than to fight?C7/nto»(.Y C; Independent.

Melancholy Affray at Baltimore.?ashocking affair occurred Sunday nigbt, on Lou-denslager's Hill, eastern extremity of BaltimoreTwo Italian organ men were found secreted in anice house on the premises of Col. Maberry Turner,by that gentleman and Thomas Woolen, a neigh-bor Supposingthat the Italians designedrobbingthe bouse, Col Turner treated them accordingly,when one of the Italians drow a dirk and stabbedTurner, tbe weapon penetrating the lungs andcausing a wcund that will probably prove fatal ?

Woolen also received a serions wound, and anotherfriend of Turner was wounded in the arm Theaffair occasioned intense excitement among theneighboring residents, who were with difficultyrestrained from lynching the Italians on the spot.They were both arrested and sent to jail. It issupposedthat the Italians had gone ioto the ice-house for lodgings. Turner and Woolen are notexpected to survive

More Excitement in Alabama ?The citizensof Livingston, Alabama, held a meeting on tho 3dinstant, to take into consideration the propriety ofnotifying a man named Samuel Sharood to leaveSumter county forthwith, in consequence of bistampering with slaves He was heard before themeeting, said be had been an Englishman?thathe ha<l been an abslitionist, but was so no longer;that he was a tailor by trade, and a Methodist, andhad been bnt five months in tbe country. lie wasordered to leavu within three day*. Some calledfor tar and feathers, but no violence was offeredhim.

TRAVELLING ?A correspondent of the Savan-nah Republican says: "I have thought it well toadd a memorandum about travellingin Europe, asit may be of advantage to some of yourreaders.?My impression is tbat the traveller who wouldspend $100 a dozen years agi, would, nnder thesame circumstances, spend $150 now,and in somecases $'J(>o. Those who cannot move about mayconsole themselves. as I have done, by pleasantquarters, but they who expeet to travel genteellywithout a full purse will be previously disappoint-ed I haveoften paid from $7 to $8 for a day'*travel, and for the twen<y-fourhours by rail andpost chaises from Vienna to Trieste I paid $19 forover weight of luggage, the quantity allowed toeach person beiDg 20 pounds! For my apartmentI paid $75 * month, and others who came later totown paid $100 for others far inferior."

Miraculous Escape.? Ou Fridayof last week,as two Indies, one named Barton, the other hersister, were attempting to cross to Goat Inland,NiagaraFalls, by meansof some planks tempo-rarily placed upon the new bridge, the supportsgave wsy, and they were both precipitated fromthe bridge. Mrs B. fortunately seized an iron rodconnected with the bridge, while her sister, aftervain attempts to sustain herself by grasping Mrs.B's dress, was thrown into the raging waters be-neath. The plankfell with her, and after severalattempts Bhe grasped it. By the mercy of Provi-dence the plank was thrown into the water diag-onally with the shore, and the current, which wasbearing her so furiously to destruction, drew thelower end of the plant against tbe bank, whenseveral persons seized it, and after great exer-tions finally drew her ashoro in a fainting condi-tion. It was a miraculous escape. Mrs. Barton,aft«r clinging to the rod for some time, was liftedfrom her dangerous situation by some personswho hadrushed to the spot.

Mr. Crampton?A London letter states thatMr.Crampton is named as the successor of Mr.Bligh aa British Envoy to Hanover. This favor isby nomeans a promotion; and may serve to showtheexact estimate the British government has ofMr. Crampton. The post is only a secondary Con-tinental mission.

Y-, and Murphy, of Portland After thepugilihtf. got to work the police interfered, whena miscellaneous melee ensued, during which a po-liceman was wounded bya pistol shot. The fight-ing party made good their escape

The Dead Child.?Few things appear sobeautiful jw a young child in it* .shroud ihe lit-tle innocent face looks so sublimely simple and coa-ddifig amongst tbe old terrors of death. Crimelessaad fearless, that little mortal has passed alone un-der tbe shadow, 'i here is death is ita sublimeatand purest image?no hatred, no hypocrisy, nosuspicion, no care for the morrow, ever darkenedthat little face. Death has come lovinglyupon it?there is nothing eruel or harsh in its victory?

The yearning* of love, indeed, cannot be stifled; forthe prattle and smile?all the little world ofthoughts that were godelightful?are gone forever.Awe too, will overcast us in its presence for tbelonelyvoyager; for the child has gone, simple andtrusting, into the presence of an all wise Father?and of such, we know, is the kingdom of Heaven.

It seems to be gradually creeping round the Is-land in a westerly direction. Funchal is decidedlythe worst place. For seme days,I cannot ventureto say how many have died, but perhaps not lessthan 150 per day, near the beginningof this month.On Sunday, the 3J of August,about 150lay unbtiried on the buryingground and nobody to do tbework.

before the Mayor yesterday, to answer the cbargeof assaulting, besting ua robbing a negro nunnamed Joe, in the service of A Tbrnnas, last Satur-day night Joe. it seems, baa a wife in Manches-ter, ana after hia getting throngbbis labors of theday bad gone to the Second Market, procuredsomething to eat and started home, bat beisgstopped on the wayside several times to " nibble "

didnot reach the railroad bridge till after noon.?Fearing to attempt to walk that causeway in anunsettled condition, he laid himself out on a largestone to take a nap, and whilst there, snuglysleeping, was aroused by a clip on the bead, whichbrought him to his knees in an instant. On look-tagaround he soon discovered that he was in thepower of fire black spirits, bent on mischief; andBob Wells declared that he would kill him andlifl° W

IJ? ? r *JZ. lntanperT(*~ on Mor,d »y eveningiMt, a young raan from Lvnchbure calledWTestmP by the« hfn H 1 the cs*e - ,0 answer thecharge of fighting in the street, and resistingan officer. \ esterday morning he before the Mayor with a black eye a»d swollen Hpsw?? inX" "araia/ fit>«- Four witnesses werSsworn in the case, and testified that Timberlake£.TT P*Uy WUh tWO oth*r P-rsons, called.atWheeley s restaurant in Locust Alley, took adrink or two, ordered slipper, and then started forav,alk On their return, Timberlake provoked aqnarrel with the bar keeper, William 80/e drewa pistol on him several times, and afterwards bvway of forcing him into a fight, gave him three oil-four blows over the head with a cane, whilst stand-ing in the street door. Boze, as a matter of courseresented this conduct, and whilst the two were en-gaged in a fight, officer Morris stepped up and separaied them. Boze immediately returned to hisplace of business, and whilst in tbe enstodyof theofficer, Timberlake again struck him. The officer

then seized Timberlake, but was struck for so do-ing, and in order to secure bis prisoner, had tothrow him on the floor and tie bim. Timberlakeoffered as au apology for his conduct his extremeintoxication, and declared that he did not knowwhat he wa3doing The Mayorinformed him thatbeing drunk wai itself a breach of good beha-vior, punishable by fine, and instead of being anexcuse, was really an aggravation of the offence.He therefore required the accused to give bail forhis future good behavior in the sum of $150, andrequired security foi a like amount for his appearanceat the next Grand Jnry term of the HustingsCourt to answer an indictment.

Breeding a Mu.«s.?John Wade of HanovergaveB. Frieshcorn a terrible tongue las'aiog yesterdaymorning, and then talked largely about introducinghis knuckles to F'a eyes without provocation, furwhich F bad him called before the Mayor, andheld to bail for liis good behavior. John, in all probability, had no idea of carrying out his threats,and even if he had felt disposed to attempt it, wouldhave got more than he bargained for, but the com-plainant being* peaceable roan, did not care to runthe risk, and therefore called on the law to b3ckhim.

City Water must be paid for when used, and thosewho attempt to borrow it will often find that ite-osts more than its value. A free woman, namedKesiah Scott, was convicted before the Mayor yes-terday, of using hydrant water in violation of anordinance, and only got out of the scrape by fork-ing over$5 in cash.

mistered ?A member of the ebo shin family,calling himself Granville Jackson, and owned byFleming I'arrish, had ten blisters drawn on his ex-terior yeste'day morning, to cure him of the dlsease of drunkenness. When found the night before, Granville's skin was so full of the essence ofpine top, tbat be imagined himself a locomotivewith a full head of steam on, and but for the watch-men putting down the breaks on him, would haverun off the track or burst his boiler.

Increased in Value.?Real estate along ShockoeCreek, has trebled in value since the Central Headwas constructed, and in some instances propertythat cannot be bought now at $25 per loot couldhave been purchased before the commencement ofthat improvementat $5. Most of the buildingsinthevalley are small and generally occupied by la-boring persons, at heavy rents. But the time willome when these wiii have ta give place to largestores and warehouses, to accommodate the vast,trade that is to flow down the line of that greatState improvement£Complimentary Dene jit.?We understand that anumber of gentlemen in this city design givingMrs. Lizzie Weston Davenport acompiimentary benefit at the theatre next Thursday night,and will request her to select the ''Heir at Law"as one of thepieces for the eniertainment. MrJefferson, the comedian, will be sufficientlywellby that time to appear in his favorite character,and we have nodoubt that Mrs. D. will take greatpleasure in yielding to the request of her nume-rous admirers on that particular occasion.

BloomingBeauty.?John RoaV walked into tbewatch house last Monday night and asked for lodg-ings. declaring that he whs ont of money and outof clotlien ?out of friends and out of doors, and ifnottaken care of, must lodge in the street or rooston a lamp po-it. Not feeling inclined to have thestreets obstructed at night by a mountain of badwhiskey and old rags, John was caged for tbenightand yesterday morning joggedby tbe Mayorpreparatory to being handed over to commanderPerrin'of the street force.
