A 28r1.—Th Pons of veusy 2tn.—The Smith—Result the Investization.—The Chief of Police and Jonas EA Phillips, + acl District Attorney, completed their investigation into the causes of the death jof Sophia Smith, late of No. 80 Chambers stréet, this after- noon. Upwards of twenty witnesses have been examin- ed, including several respectable physicians. The re- sult of their labors appears to have terminated in thi opinion, thatthe deceased came to her death by suicid In justificution of this opinion, we present from thy mass of evidence, the testimony of Dr. Israel Moses and Dr James Chilton. Dr. Moses, deposed as follows :~“I have no doubt that the death of Sophia Smith was produced by strangula- tion, and my firm opinion is, that it was produced by her own hands. My reasons for this are, that she premedi- tated suicide from the evidence of conversations with Others; the next place, the materiale with which she strangled herself and stuffed her mouth, had evidently been cut off 1 'y from a petticoat with a pair of Scissors, Another reason is, a chemise and another petti. coat were smoothly laid on the floor underneath her body. ‘The position of the knife inthe hand, was such as women are trequently in the habit of asanming, and was evidently placed in the hand before death. The ge- ral position of the body bi natural. The ligature being several times around the throat, indicated suicide, whereas ina case of murder by strangulation, a ligature passed once firmly round, would have affected the Ura pose. If resistance had been offered, so much cloth could not have been stuffed into her mouth by a second person; and again the ligature around the neck was not so tightly drawn, but many respirations could have been taken, allowing ample time for the infliction of the wounds npon her person, by her own bands; bat it com- pressed the air passuge so, as not to ailow sufficient pure air to enter the lungs to carry on their functions perfect- ly. ‘The appearances too, of the lungs,viz: the congestion spoken @, was not so great as would have resulted from , sudden suangulation. “From all these indications | have arrived atthe conclusion that the deceased committed suicide, From the aprnacsnis of the intestines it was = evident that she had been laboring under some fever previous to her death. \ aus R. Cuicron, M. D., practical Chemist of the City and County of New York, being duly sworn, depo- seth and saith, thathe has made a chemical analysis of the stomach and contents from the body of Misa Sophia Smith, lying dead at No. 80 Chamber street, and after a careful set of experiments, he has detected nothing of a poisonous character, except a minut dication of opi light as scarcely to be able to iden- tify it. Depouent was also present at an examination of the body of the deceased : the tongue was very much coated and thickened; elevated, intlamed patches alon; the intestinal canal, indicated recent fever, of a taphpt character, which was very likely to have produce: rium. deli- From all the circumstances attending this case, from deponent’s own examinations, he is of it the deceased committed suici: Samus. Smirn, farmer at Shandakin, Ulster county, father of the deceased, deposed that she was 25 years of age, that she left home in 1840 to come to New York to learn the milliner’s trade; that she has been at home on | a visit every year except the last; that he came down in the latter part of June last, to take her sister, Rebecca, home, as also Sophia, if she would go, but she could not on account of her business; that the deceased was a very affectionate girl; remarkably lively, cheerful and amia- ble in disposition; and further, that so far as pecuniary circumstances, she had always a good home to go to, whenever she was disposed to avail herself of it. Jn regard to the handkerchief that was tied roand her head, with the name of C. Whitney upon it, Miss Whit- ney deposed that the deceased and herself boarded to- gether at 54 Ludlow street for a considerable time, and | that during that time they interchanged handkerchiefs, which is now more than one year ago. It appears alyo that the deceased was addressed by a young man named Edward Gray, to whom she was en- aged to be married, and that under the promise of mar- riage he succeded in seducing her. It also appears that the goods in the store No. 191 Greenwich street, belonging to Mrs. Hazard, and of which store the deceased was to have half the profits of the sales for attending, were seized by vir- tue of an execution, and removed to be sold, and her bus: ness, consequently broken up. This produced great de- pression of spirits, and added to the sudden departure to the South of Edward Gray, to whom she was engaged to be married, caused, it is believed, alienation of mind, that led her to the commission of suicide. Further Developments.—Since giving publicity to the facts connected with the arrest of certain parties for heinous offences, a few turther particulars respecting their doings have been gathered, and if the charges that have been preferred against the accused can be properly suhstantiated, the stoutest heart must sicken, a8 the mind contemplates the possible extent which cri the most atrocious character may be perpetrated in our very midst, especially so, when it is shown that a human being, after having’ been sent out of the world, as it were, by the hands of the murderer, is then packed up in a box, und sent off to a distant part of the country, where the remains of the poor deluded, if not murdered, vic- tim, is at once received by one, who, doubtless under- standing the matter, creates no noive, and manifests no surprise at such an occurrence; on the contrary, the traflic in human flesh is carried on, the package is taken charge of, and their contents, of course, disposed ofto the best advantage, apparently ll knowing tl from whence they come. If this be the case, is it unrea- sonable to infer that the life of more thun one young and interesting female has been sacrificed in’ the same place by the same means, and under similar circum- Tae Cumancues—As much is said of the power ot this roving tribe of Indians, and trou- hle apprehended from their assaults, a writer in the Union undertakes to place them in their true light, both as to numbers and military and warlike po In relation to numbers, there ‘are various estimat hat which places their warriors at 20,000, being supposed to be nearest tothe truth.

They were encumbered by ack mules, loaded with dollars, On the head waters of ted River, they came De three hundred Indians, difficult, rocky piece o! ith a level pi sand in the centre. On this sand did the Americaus make their stand—first taking off the packs ; and with these, and the bodies of the mules, (whose throats they cut for that purpose,) they made a breastwork, and defended themselves for fifty-two hours, when the Indians ceased firing, and let the twelve who survived pass ; and some of them arrived in safety among the Osages. These men were not soldiers, but clerks, &¢.; among them perished a brother of the Hon.
