By the arrival of a gentleman from Gariy’s Ferry on the 4th inst. we have received the heart rending intelligence of the murder of a whole, family named Uwinn, who resided on the Santa fc River. They fell victims to savage barbarity; a father mother and two children were found murdered at their residence on the 2d inst.; a daughter about 13 years of age ii mis-ing. There ere many conjectures as to her fate; hut if murdered her hody has not been found. This is the result of considering the war as pretty well ended, and of withholding from the suffering inhabitants that subsistence which would have enabled them to live off from their planla. lions. If they had been mustered into service their families would have bteen provided for and their homes would have been protected. A report is in circulation that two other fami lies had been murdered in the same neighborhood; making the number seventeen, hut we arc happy to learn by a gentleman from Newnansvillc, that this is an exaggeration. Two persons whose names wc did not learn, were murdered since the massacre of theGwinn family.

An association of the most atrocious and appal ling character was lately perpetrated in the Paiisli of St. Bernard. 'The details are as follows : On Friday last, five Irishmen entered the house of an individual, an inn-kcopcr, residing in Iho Parish of St. Bernard. They culled for break fast: they were supplied, and after finishing their meal, one of the number arose and approached the nmater of the homo. After a sow words had been interchanged between the two, the report of a firo-arrn was heard, and the huikceper fell mor tally woundod by a b ill in bis breast. A woman who was in the house entered the room, attracted by tbe cries and tumult. As soon as she was perceived a pistol was fired al her, and her check bone broken by tbe ball. Not yet content with their dreadful occupation, these miscreants fell upon a little infant that was sleeping undistuibcd by the havoc around it, and fractured its limbs in the most shocking manner, by a succession of blows wiih sticks and the butt cud of their pis. tols. The unhappy innkeeper being found still to survive, was finally despatched with tbe poig nard. In order to elf?.co as quickly as possible all traces of their crime, they procured horse* ar ! repaired to Now Orleans so rapidly that one nftho animals All dead on its arrival.

A correspondent of tin vi ‘VT Y( ’[ k American, gives the following uccouii re . of the affair ; rs, “ f’bey wore much bruised, and each receiver! a brace of black eyes. The Circumstances were ho as follows; It appears that early on Sunday morning, Mr. Maury was very active in procuring a call ot the House, in order In show to tho conn try wltn wore the delinquents. Mr. Campbell 5!) was among the absentees, and was brought to the bar with tho rest in custody of the Sergcant-al Arms. When tho House adjourned, tho laitei went lo Iris colleague and reproached him for his conduct in aiding lho call, at the same lime alleging that Mr. At. had done it with a view to injure him (Mr. (',) at home, among his constit uenls. C ihiaiion and recrimination followed, and each gentleman honored his opponent with (ho epithet of “ liar, scoundrel,’ &c. As might bo expected, a personal conflict was the result, nud blows were bestowed in abundances. Not more than live members remained when the fracas commenced, unit they, of course, did not attempt Yi 10 interfere. After the belligerents had belabored each other to their heart’s content, they suspended hostilities, retired to their respective homes, and have not been seen since. It is said they arc so well satisfied with lit'.ir mutual inflictions, that no doubts are entertained us lo further proceed, mg*.” Challenge from British lo American Ilout | mew.—The St. Johns (N.

This challenge, it is said, is intended to meet the eyes of the Whitehall boat men, who, it may ho recollected, beat Captain Harris in Ilia gig boat; a few years since, at New Yoik, and from whom the loyal New Btuns wrekers have great desire lo regain lire palm. An Intkhksti.no Oceuation.— The Herald of Thursday contains a notice of an operation for cancer, performed at the.'Franklin Infirmary, by Ur. Luzcnbcrg. “The patient,” says lire Herald, “was an elderly woman—shout GO years of age, wo should judge—and find been afflicted with a torturing eppeer in the breast for yours. When I laced upon tho operating table, and (ho upper portion ol her dress removed, the sight was ghasl, ly enough. The left Inpast resembled in shape a huge cauliflower, very hard lo lit-, touch, and truly revolting lo look upon. The roots of the cancer extended so far, it was found necessary to remove the entire left breast, occupying acir cumferenco from eighteen inches lo two feet, if not more. This the Doctor accomplished in a manner which reflects groat credit upon him as a surgeon.” We learn that the operation was per formed according to the most scientific principles. —.V O Picayune. Tire Lust Theft. Tiro most impudent and expert achievement in the art of thieving that wo have lately heard of, was related to us a few days since, ns folllows: At a labourer's boardin<j-hot’.so, where it is customary in warm weather for the men to leave their coats in lire entry while at meals,a sion one day while all hands Were uuaj dinner. Accordingly ho reconnoitred the passage-way, saw a good variety ol coals and jackets, some new, some ImlLworn, &c. all ol which ho gathered into his arms and carolofsly commenced making Irs exit. Just ns lie was about to cross the threshold, the man of tire house, who was late ut dinner, orrived at the door. “What are you doing with those coats'!’ said the landlord. ‘l’m taking’em to my shop, sir,' ‘And what, for!’ ‘The gentlemen want to get ’em scoured sir,’ replied the thief. ‘Oil then, if that’s all,’ said the landlord, ‘I believe my coat wants scouring and you may take it along too.’ So saying, ho dofred his garment, handed it over lo the thief, and proceeded to his dinner. The surprise of the boarders, when they went to get their habiliments, and the confusion of the landlord in giving his state ment may well i v 3 iihag hod. — N. O. Pica . yunc. An Kansas ano A» !

Tho invention of steam was a mere circumstance in compari son—clectro-magnelicrn, even if it is ever ’ brought to such pci feet ion as lo assist in turn -1 ing a windmill in a gale, would be a minor 1 consideration —hut to tiro story. The Captain of a steamboat engaged in the J Red river trade has informed us, although we r are inclined to think he was joking, that a I wealthy individual up that way has lamed and 1 trained a couple of alligators so that they will p swim in harness and haw and goo about as regular as oxen. So well, indeed, have they , been broken that their owner frequently lack -1 les them up, hitches them lo a “dug-out,” and , cruises about the bayous and ponds when the ; waters are 100 high to admit of his going on i horseback. i On a late occasion, while sailing along qui etly under tho banks of a bayou wit Jr h's “crit. tors” harnessed in abreast, he was seen by a I' hunter, who sung out. ; “1 say, there ! hallo I drap your dug out Ba ton) and give me u chance to plug one of them varmints.” “Don’t shoot this way-take care, don’t you see I’m after them'!’ said tho owner, os 1 tin; backwoodsman levelled hio riflle. | “I see you’re after ’em, and you’ll see a ball follenn on the same trail in less than P two minits. Look out for yourself, stranger; here goes for a crack at the varmint this way.” “fllop! hold up your rifle That’s my team 3 you are aiming at. Look attire harness, there, rust on the top cl tfn- water. Tb y are hitch ed to tire canoe, and I am on a little jaunt out 1 j back to look at and entervorne ’and-!.” , ‘-Well, I declarl” said tho old hunter, “if i. that don’t beat ail the doins I’ve heer’d on it rny way in the thick settlements, f reckon d you understand animal magnetism, as they e call it, a few.” s “I understand training alligators.” „ ‘ Well, you can pass—hope you’ll have a pleasant excursion.” fl The man now stirred up his team, and was ;e soon under way pt a rate which would leave ’.
