A» Authentic Narrative or the CRABB MASSACRE. % From the Alta California. p m.es Edward Evans, a boy sixteen Vcf ago, the only person of Crabb’s party ^mredby the Mexicans and spared alive, ^ >J in San Francisco on the 2d inst., on £john L. Stephens, and has given us the : C loccI narrative of the massacre. ,. aarrativo begins on the arrival of the ‘at Cabcza Prieto, in the Gadsden Pur- "^Jtho events previous toj the arrival at that £ being of little importance, and being al- kmiliar to the public form other sources.: the division or the partt. fcan after arriving at Cabcza Pricta, the "my held a meeting and selected volun- , vr ! io go forward to Sonoita, a distance of i, leagues. Tho object of this was to ro- L* the parties crossing tho desert to such Ushers as to allow them to carry the neces- “ , y juiount of water. Twenty men then re fined at Cabcza Prieto. Messrs. Crabb, jl'Cottn, Wood, and sundry others including ' e lf(sixty-nino in all), were in the party that went forward. Wo arrived at Sonoita on |C f 05th March. Here it was at first proposed tii remain until tho other party could come up 6 ,,j ^.joiu us; but provision being scarce, ana anuous to press forward, Mr. Crabb order ed in to start for the interior of Sonora, which M diJ cn tho 27th, he leaving a letter with jjk brother-in-law, Jesus Aiusa, directing the i^bers to follow immediately on their arrival. We kept tho road several days, passing some hciewlas, where wo were treated with kind- jyjj by the people. We exchanged civilities Kith many of tho inhabitants on the road. All of these appeared to look upon us as peace time settlers, and evinced no alarm at our rau. Wo arrived in sight of Caborca about o'clock oa the morning of April 1st. Up to iis time wc bad received no intimation that rc should be attacked, or be regarded as hos- ile invaders by the people. At Sonoita, Mr. !r,ibb and bis brother-in-law, Mr. Cortelyou, cM frequent private conversations, but upon bat subject 1 could not learn. He showed, os ever, no anxioty as to the manner in which t were likely to be Ycccivcd, and seemed con- Jent that all would go well. THE ATTACK AT CABORCA. We were traveling up a lane between two rocatficlds, in full security, as we supposed, .4 congratulating ourselves upon the success yith iiad hitherto crowned the enterprise, ■a we were suddenly and unexpectedly fired a by about one hundred aud fifty Mcxi- ;, hidden behind the adobe fences on both ics of the road. Though their firing mado a -rible racket, and the air was filled with icke, strange to say, none of us wore wound- . lip to this time, not suspecting any hos- itics, and confident in our own peaceable in- ations, no military organization had been wmmended or thought of. Tho object, thus , of Mr. Crabb and lib advbcrs appears to me been to give the natives no cause for sup- jMug us to ho belligerents, aad consequently more military display was made than what irelcrs in a strange land would naturally Upt, os precautionary measures, The assault, at first, threw tho party into it.fusion; but Mr. Crabb gavo orders to re- ,ai the fire, and our men shot from ten to fif- leea of the enemy. Our first fire killed one jjtheir principal officers. At the time of the stuck we were not more than a quarter of a mile from tho town—a small collection of lidobes, with a fine church. The enemy broke I after our return of their fire, and ran for the burcb, and we continued our journey along be lane into the town. TDK FIGHT AND 8IEOE OF CABORCA Wc took shelter in a large house on tho Plaza, directly opposite tho church. The in habitants seemed much frightcucd at our ap proach. and men, women and children had crowded into the convent, which formed part of the church. The Mexicans commenced and kept up a brisk and continuous fire, with all kinds of small arms, at us and our house, but they took care to keep out of sight so that wc could not do much by returning their fire. ASSAULT BT CRABB ON THE CONVENT. Wc were soon convinced that we were con' sidered as enemies, aud must regulate our con duct accordingly. Mr. Crabb called for vol- catcers to make an assault upon the church. Only fifteen out of the sixtynino came forward. These were headed by Mr. Crabb in person. (The only names I can remember at this mo ment, as forming part of this storming party, we David S. McDowell, and James Wood of Sonora, Tuolumne County. The latter was Aot dead, and tho former received nine wounds ia his right arm.) They took a keg of pow der with them, for the purpose of blowing open the door of tho church. They crossed the Plaza in the midst of a murderous fire, and Ur. Crabb gave the word to charge. They expelled the Mexicans to retreat out of the invent into tho body of the church. Mr. Crabb then took possession of tho convent with a ea, and placed keg of powder under «e door which connects with the church. By ttis time Wm. Chaney from Nevada, Clark ^■all trom Mariposa, and another person Jj j-csc name I have forgotten, had been killed. The slow match did not explode. Crabb r -* : down and wrote a note on a loaf of his Met book, to his party on tho opposite side ilow match.

In the convent there were also killed James Woods and William Randolph of i uolumno County; also, another man of slim stature,. from Los Angelas Connty. Wo ro- luntucd in tho adobe house all night, ’the na tives firm- • - — patched by a little Mexican child, who had got •unrated from the other inhabitants. He had Urdly finished the note when tbo Mexicans warded—in number about 120. They enter- -* the convent, and for several minutes a hand to hand fight continued. Mr. having exhausted his shots, sat down , irately by the door, and commenced rc- •fcuing his pistol. While in tho act he was tot in the right arm above tho elbow. He !** las revolver in bis left hand and fired all “ it one shot. Up to this time tho efforts of w !>Jle population were directed against •axe in tbeconvent. THE SIEGE. There were still forty-four Americans rc- toining ic the adobe houso opposite. Wc rc- ^"eu to orders from any of our leaders to e’ oss the Plaza to the assistance of thoeo in e ccsvcnt: and many were not disposed to 0 »o under any circumstances. After Mr. •ib wag wounded, he retreated with his 5*f 10 the adobe house, where tho remainder the party were. Here the wounded wore » to ’ Wo stood guard regularly while " c ■Mexicans were shooting at us. I believe esc were the longest days and nights I ever ^eed.

But, there tn a 'Jroag conviction with many that, if we gy oncired, we should bo honorably treated. Able b i'’ out w ° could have formed a formid- ililaf an( T kept at bay any rcason- JW They coul is ret-P 3 The whole might have succeeded oweating safely out of the country, as the twenty-five did. Tlicre were long lh Ji'*ated discussions on this subject, but or surrendering carried the day. 3 ''ho d' ° Ur racn wcrc uiortnliy wounded, morning body, and the northern mines, but from what part I do not recollect. The natives continued firing upon us during the second day (the 2d of April). A largo number of people had collect ed in the town. Wo did not return their fir ing, except on the first day, as they were hid den benind the adobe walls. Often they rais ed caps and hats on their guns, in order to deceive us. In nearly every instance these wore perforated with a rifle bail as soon as they appeared in sight. On the nights of the 2d, 3d, 4th and 5th of April, the natives continued their firing upon us, but did not see fit to attack us any nearer than by musket shots. We found in the house provisions, such as bread, beef, lard, &c. A DESERTER AND HIS FATE. On the 5th, one of our ineu deserted to the enemy. __ I do not recollect bis name. The circumstances aro these : We bad retained, as a sort of hostage, the little Mexican boy by whom Mr. Crabb had sent the note for a slow match. Tho deserter, under tho pretext of taking tho hoy with him into the yard to ob tain some water, sprang over the fence and ran down the street, shouting to the natives, “ Viva Mejico.” The enemy pursued him, and carried him before the commander, who first extorted what news he could, and then shot him. ARRIVAL OF ARTILLERY. The enemy received on tho 6th two pieces of artillery, with which they commenced firing at point-blank raugc upon our little fortress.— Since the first d.,y we had fired hut one shot, and that at a man in the belfry of the church, where he was hoisting the Mexican flag. He was killed. Tho cannon directed against us were loaded with chunks of lead instead of ball; but these did not havo their desired ef fect in battering down tho doors. Tho proba bility is, that they had no cannon-balls. They continued firing, however, all day during the <5th until about sundown. About!] o’clock the enemy began to set the house on fire. This was done by shooting lighted combustible ma terials affixed to arrows into the straw thatch of tho house. The roof took fire and com menced blazing. The house was soon filled with smoke, aud Mr. Crabb gave orders to have two kegs of powder exploded, for the pur pose of blowing off the roof. The effect was to jar tho house and to burn one man slightly, but the flames were partially extinguished.— Tho enemy wcrc now surrounding the house, shouting, “ Viva Mcjico, y mueran los Yan kees They seemed firmly bent upon de stroying us. THE SURRENDER. Mr. Crabb now called a consultation, and advised a surrender. Many, however, were opposed to this, predicting and foreseeing the death which awaited them, and urging that as the natives seemed determined to destroy us, they might, as well sell their lives dearly.— David S. McDowell had proposed to take com mand of the men, and take the church ; but Mr. Crabb opposed it. Col. Nathaniel Wood and Mr. McCoun agreed with Mr. Crabb ii opinion, as did several others, whose names I cannot remember. There were a great •kaoy who wanted to sally out with Mr. McDowell, but they were overruled by the advice of Mr. Crabb, Col. Wood and others, who believed that if the whole party should surrender, tho Mexicans would treat us os prisoners of war, and that it was better not to exasperate them by a useless resistance. At 10 Mr. Hyne volunteered to he the bearer of a flag of trace to the natives. He accordingly attached a white handkerchief to a ran rod, and went out to the enemy. The Mexicans sent another flag to meet him half way, and Mr. Hyne was taken into the con vent ; he was secured there and not allowed to return. The Mexicans made Hyne shout their conditions across the Plaza to us, which were, that if wc surrendered wc should he ta ken i.o Altar, and tried the next day as pi ners of war; and that the wounded should be well attended to, as they (the Mexicans) had a good physician. Mr. Crabb not being satis fied, :md not fully understanding these condi tions, requested Cortelyou to ask a farther explanation, which he did; and the terms be ing fully understood, tho wholo party snrren- dered. This was about 11 o’clock at night.— It was very dark at the time, bat the sky was clear. Wo were required to go over one by one and leave the arms in tho house as wc departed.— This was done. Mr. Crabb was the first who went over. He reported who he wob. Ho was placed aside without being tied; the rest of us wcrc searched, and tied with our hands in front. The party submitted without murmurs, os it was generally supposed that we should soon bo set at liberty. We were then marched into the barracks aud confined, Mr. Crabb being with us. THE FARTY CONDEMMED TO DEATH Mr. Crabb was soon taken out, aud interro gated by means of an interpreter. After about half an hour, he returned to as nt the barracks, but the guard would not allow him to communicate to us the result of his confer ence with the Mexican leaders. This was about midnight. In about an hour more, an official appeared with a written paper, which we soon learned was our “sentence.” Mr. Cortelyou, who read Spanish, translated it aloud to us.— It was that we were all to be shot at sunrise.— Tho effect upon us may be imagined. There appeared no means of averting our doom. Wc were in their power, and felt that their barba rous resolution would certainly be executed.— No attempts were mode to intercede for us.— approaching nearer than to observe that they had been much gnawed and mutilated by wild beasts. I saw a finger lying near me, which appeared to have been cut off, perhaps to take a ring from it. From where I stood I was able to recognize some bodies, among them those of Mr. McCoun and Col. Wood. I re mained in Caborca fifteen days, and up to the time of my departure, I saw no attempts made soon after. These were William brought in again and tied, and I was released in his place. Chapin was shot with the re3t. He had been slightly wounded in the late fight. I suppose I was substituted for him, as it was found that I was tho youngest. I am in my sixteenth year. After taking mo out, they carried me to the adobe house, which our party had occu pied, and where I found nine of our party wounded. I remained there under guard, hut not tied, until about daybreak, when I was taken by four men to Hilano Gabilondo, the second in command of tho Mexicans, and ho told me, through a Mexican who spoke broken English, that I was the only one to be saved out of tho party, and that the others were to be shot at sunrise. Gabilondo ordered the troops to mount. I was placed on a horse, and we Btarted for Altar, where wc arrived at 7£ o’clock. The distance is said to bo seven leagues. Wo rode tho whole day in a canter. I remained in Altar two days. I was not al lowed to go beyond the town limits. I was not questioned or molested in any way. SHOCKING DESECRATION OF THE DEAD. On the Dth I returned, with Gabilondo, to Caborca. This was on the third day after tlio execution of our party, which, of course, I did not witness, being absent. I went out to iiuiMiii (he cemetery, and saw their bodies strewn Wile’ Peyote Fbt, Tuolumne Connty, and 1 about the ground unburied. Ail were stnp- Sea ton, from Benicia, I believe.— (pedof their clothing, even of stockings. idied before night. I believe.- They were terri- stonch arising from their bodies prevented my mg next fall. 1 recognized the clothing our party worn by the people around me. AN APPALLING SIGHT. On the day after my second arrival at Ca borca, a Mexican came up and motioned me to go with him. I followed him into a small house, and he led mo to a large earthen jar placed on the ground. He put bis hand in, and immediately drew out Mr. Crabb’s head, holding it by tho hair. It had been preserved in vinegar, and the liquid dripped down into thejar as he held the head up for me to look at. He laughed, and asked me if I knew who it belonged to. I retreated with alarm and hor ror from the spectacle. He laughed, and put it back into thejar. I then left the house. CAPTURE AND DEATH OF THE OTHER PARTY. While I was in Altar, the news came that sixteen others of our party had been arrested on the same day that Crabb and his command wcrc executed. These were the party of twenty, whom wc had left, as above stated, at Caborca. The other four of the twenty had been left on the American side. I was told tlicso sixteen had been s’irroundcd about two leagues from Caborca, and that in taking them, the Americans had only fired one shot. The man who fired it gave his name to the Mexicans, just before his execution, as Mc Kinney from San Jose, California. The par ty wcrc then taken into Caborca, and shot on o afternoon of the same day. These facts in relation to the sixteen, I give from tho ac counts of the Mexicans about me, not having been present. McKinney was in command of the party. The Commandcr-in-Chief, Jiron, sent, on the 11th, a company of lancers to Lonoica, with orders to kill every Yankee they should meet. THE DEAD, AND HOW THEY WERE TREATED. As I have said above, I was fifteen days at Caborca. During this time the natives were constantly celebrating their victory over “los Yankees,” and the late execution was mado the subject of constant conversations and merry-makings. I repeat that, during this time, the bodies of our party lay unburied and putrifying in the sun. The hogs made it a daily place of resort, aud at evening, when they came into the town, the stench, which as they passed through the streets was insup portable, showed too plainly how they had been occupied during the day. From these sickening sights and the harrowing associa tions (ooncctcd with them, I could not escape, and was only thankful that my life had been spared from this butchery. I do not know what was the object in pre serving Mr. Crabb’s head. Many women and children passed into the house where it was kept, aud it appeared to be a sort of trophy of tlieir late "ictory. TREATMENT OF EVANS BY THE MEXICANS. I cam moke no complaint of the treatment I received between Caborca and Hcrmosillo. On our route to Ures, and thence to Guay- mas, they refused nothing for my comfort.— The soldiers themselves gave me everything I asked for, which they could obtain, and the women of the towns through which we passed always treated me kindly, and expressed great sympathy for my situation. But in Caborca, after my arrival there the second time, I was obliged to don a red jacket and tri-colorcd ribbon (red, white and green) around my hat, on which was inscribed “liberlad o' Muerte." I was also obliged to carry a lance, and to adopt, in full, the military uniform of the coun- try. CELEBRATION AT THE CAPITOL. When I arrived at Ures, wo were received with great demonstrations by the people.— The whole city turned out to meet the con querors of “los Yankees." The American flag abeve mentioned was fixed, union down, to a lance, and carried in advance of the cav alcade. The Governor and his staff met the troops at the entrance of the city, saluted them, aud publicly congratulated them on their successful campaign. He then shouted, with liis hat off, “ Viva los galanles—oficia- les de Caborca ! Viva'los valientes muchachos de la Caborca! Viva el Rejntblica Mexic- na /” This was replied to by the troops, and the whole then paraded through the town. I followed with, the servants and pack auimals. I remained threo days in Ures. Several public festivals were held in honor of the late event. The Governor, Don Ignacio Pesquo- ira, had me brought before him; he treated me vary kindly. While nt Ures, I saw several brass field- pieces—24 pounders. Two of these, accom panied by 500 men, had started for Caborca for the purpose of taking part in the battlo there. They had arrived at within a day’s march of that place, when, hearing of the surrender, they returned to Ures. Had the siege continued another day, tho heavy ord nance would soon have battered down our adobe house. Division of Texas. Tho public journals of Texas are discussing the subject of a subdivision of that State into two or more States. No State of the Union has increased within a few years more rapidly in population and wealth. The population is now estimated at over half a million, and uu- dcr the next census it will bo entitled to six or seven representatives in Congress. The great size of the State, the great dissimilarity of its parts, and the difficulty in the way of constant communication between all of its parts and the one centra of government, are tho reasons urged in support of tho division. _ It will bo remembered that the joint resolutions, annex ing Texas to the Union provided for its ulti mate subdivision into five States. The line of division suggested is the some with, that now dividing the State into two congressional districts. Gov. Brown. Wc havo heard and heard of, a good many slighting and disparaging remarks upon the plain republican simplicity of style in which things are conducted by Gov. Brown at the Executive Mansion. We aro very glad, and the people of Georgia ought to be glad, that tho Governor has the good sense and the mor al nerve, to do just what he has done. We understand that he is upon all proper occa sions, glad to see any, even the plainest and humblest of his fellow citizens, at the Execu tive Mansion, that he receives them without show and parade, and entertains tucin with a simple aud cordial hospitality which makes them feel that he is in feeling and in fact the chief a republican government. Governor Brown seems to know, it nooody else does not, that he was elected for the pur pose of attending to the business of the peo ple and not to give grand entertainments to the Aristocracy. We hope he will not per mit himself to be either seduced or driven from tho course he has adopted. His example will havo a good effect upon the country.—turner Stone. H 1 ISAAC’S RESTAURANT.

MOUSE, the inventor of Morse's Indian Root Fills has spont tho greater part of. his life in travelling, having visited Europe, Asia and Africa nr. well as North America—has spent three years among tho Indians of onr Western country—it was in this way that the Indian Root Pills were first dis covered. Dr. Mooro was the first man to establish tho fact that oil diseases arise from tho imparity of Blood—that onr strength, health and lifo depended npon this vital finid. When tho various passages become clogged, and do not act in perfeci harmony with the different functions of tho body, the blood loses it action, be- comos thick, corrupted and diseased; thus causing nil pains, sickness and distress of every name; our strength is exhausted, our health we are deprived of and if nature is not assisted in throwing off the stag nant humors, tho blood will become choked and coaso to act, and thus our light of lifo will forever he blown onL How important then that wo should keep the various passages of tho body free and open. Ann how r.'easant to us that we havo it in our power to put a medicine in your reach, namely, Morse’s In dian Root Pills, manufactured from plants aud roots which grow around the mountainous cliils in Nature’s garden, for the hoalth and recovery of diseased man. Une of tho roots from which these Pills arc made is su dorific, which opens the pores of tho skin, aud as sists nature in throwing out the finer parts of tho corruption within. Tho second is a plant which is an expectorant, that opens and unclogs the passage to the lungs, and thus in a soothing manner, performs its duty by throwing of phlegm, aud other humors from the lungs by copious spitting. Tbo third is a Diuretic, which gives ease and double strength to tho kidneys; thus oncouraged, they draw large amounts of impurity from tho blood, which is then thrown ont bountifully by the urinary o, water pas sage, and which could not havo been discharged in any other way. The fourth is a Cathartic, and ac- aro thus taken up and conveyed off in great quanti ties by the bowels. From tho above, it is shown that Dr. Morse’s In dian Root Pills not only enter tho stomach, bat be comes united with tho blood, for they find way to every part, and completely rout out and cleanse tho system from all impurity, and the life of tho body, which is the blood, becomes perfectly healthy; con sequently all sickness and pain is driven from the system, for they cannot remain when the body be comes so pure and clear. The reason why people are so distressed when sick, and why so many die, is because they do not get a medicine which will pass to the afflicted parts, and which will open the natural passages for the dis ease to be cast out; hence, a large quantity of food and other matter is lodged and tho stomach and in testines are literally overflowing with tho corrupted mass; thus undergoing disagreeable fermentations, constantly mixing with the blood, which throws the corrupted matter through every vein and artery, un til lifo is taken from the body by disease. Dr. Morse’s Pills have added to themselves victory up on victory, by restoring millions of the sick to bloom ing health and happiness. Yes, thousands who have been racked and tormented with sickness, paip and anguish, and whose feeble frames have been scorch ed by the burning elements of raging fever and who have been brought, as it were, within a step of the silent grave, now stand ready to testify that they would have been numbered with tho dead had it not been for this great and wonderful medicine, Morse's Indian Root Pills. After ono or two doBes had boen taken, they were-astonished, and ab solutely surprised, in witnessing their charming ef fects. Not only do they give immediate ease and strength, and take away oil sickness, pain and an guish hut they at once go to work at the foundation ot the disease which is tho blood. Therefore it will of youth and beauty will again return, and tho pros pects of a long aud nappy life will cherish and bright en your days. Caution.—Beware of a counterfeit signed A. D. Moore.
