Indian Outrages and Murder— The Stcessity of Aetion of the General Rovernment to Protect the Frontiets, $c. One of those atrocious and cold blooded:murders so frequent inthis part of Western Texas, was ted on Saturday, the 12th inst., about 8 o’ol: in the morning, by a party of marauding Lipan Indians, with the most provoking !mpunity. Major Chas. G. Bryant, one of our citizens, was barbarously murdered, Mear to and in sight of Mr. Wood's rancho, which is situated on the river called the Chocolate, about five mileafrom the coast, twenty. five from Corpus Christi, on the high road to Victoria, and within ten miles of the Mission del Refugio. Mojor Bryant was from the State of Maine; he immi- grated to this country at an early period, and took an active part and distinguished himself in her struggles for independence and freedom, and at the time of his aseassination he was acting as commissary tor the com> pany of rangers, ordered out by the Governor of State in June last,and was on his way to Austin with the account of the same, when he met his unhappy fate. He was a man highly esteemed, and a man of ability, energy and general business habits; his untimely and foul end is a rerious loss to our community in general, He was a good neighbor and a worthy citizen, and is all of us sincerely lamented and will be much miss This unfortupate man bas left wife and seven chile dren to lament his untoward fate, who doubtless will have too much cause, in the bitterness of their anguish and the world’s coldness, to curse the barbarous rayaces Protection and real support, The tnforaation given 7 a Mr. Welder, who lives at or near Wood's rancho, upon this act of cruelty, is, that the Indians were dis- guited in the babiliments of Mexieans and Americans, which deubtless threw poor Bryant off bis guard ani caused him to allow them to approach him, as they secm to have done, without resistance or the slightest demonstration, for bis arms were still on his eaddle and he was speared both in the back and breast. The in- diane stripped him entirely, and left him like a dog . wall: wing in te own gore. im sight of Mr, we le, at the rancho, who saw bim fall, but could render him no assistance, the Indians being too umerous for their small band of three. After the barbarous ect was completed, the Indians caught Bryant's horee, which through fright bad ran of some alstaneo, gathered up the clothes they had stripped off Dry except his hat aud ax empty puree, which were found near the body ; they also drove off about fifty horses belonging to Mesers, Wood aud Welder, as much at one Indian bad the audacity to return Miter they had Ddence some ten or tweive horses more which bad been ett behind.

The number of persons doing business daily in this city, and residing with their families in Westchester county and the two islands named, (comprising the counties of Richmond, Kings, Queens, and Suffolk.) is very great, and yearly increasing. The reasons for pre- forring a residence in the suburbs to one in the city, by #0 many families, are sufficiently obvious ; the prinol- pal causes doubtless are, economy and the benefit of pure air, and retirement to persons of quiet and steady habits. ‘The construction of the Hudson River Railroad will doubtless increase the number of residents on the banks of that river, particularly in Westchester county; but desirable sites for countr# seats and cottages in that quarter, are rally hel@ at such high prices that people of moderate means will not be attracted thither in numbers proportioned to men of wealth. The same may be said of Staten Island in some respects, added to the objections of crossing the bay, and the location of the quarantine and other public institutions and arso- clations ofa dieagreeable character to residents on that island, Long Ieland possesses many advantages net enjoyed by other Iccations in our vicinity, which must make it the reat of an immense population, connected maioly with the business of this city. The great facilities of coess by railroad and steamboats, the mildnoss avd ealubrity of the climate, the purity of the water of Springs and rivulets, and the plentiful supply of fish 1d coves which indent the coast, render Uong Irland a most desirable residence. To this, we may add the remarkable cheapness of lands and real estate generally, after we pass the bounds of King’s county. We venture to say, that im no part of the United States ean lands, possessing equal alvan- tegen in the yicinity of «large city, be obtained on terms £0 moderate, as can nowbe done on Long Island, It {a o singular fact, that about one-third of the Island, forming tract of about seventy miles in length by five or six im breadth, about equi-distant from Leng Island Sound and the Atlantic, through which the rail- road passes, is stillin a state of nature, and entirely un- cultivated, excepting a few inconsiderable patches ecat- tered hereand there throughout the tract. These lands have been heretofore kept as wood lands, for the supply but their value in this respect baving greatly diminished within a few years, the lands are gradually coming into market for the purposes of cultivation, and we are informed that they are gene- Fally found, in point of soil, equal to most of the other Jande of Leng Island, which bave long been under cul- tivation, and bave proved sources of profit to the agri- culturists who have occupied them. The plains of Suffelk county, distant 40 to 60 miles from this city, bave levation of 80 to 100 feet above the Atlantic ocean, and present many desirable places for country residences, and they may be reached by railroad in two or three hours from this city. The springs on these plain umerous, and the water is remarkably pure, in consequence of its having been filtered through beds of gravel under the surface of loam. The outlets of there springs flow towards Long Island Sound and the South Bay, and ebound in trout in great quantities. The population of Long Island. it is probable, will reach 186,000 at the United States census to be taken in June next. We make the following estimate of the three counties, comparing the population with what it was in 1840 and 1845 :— State Census.

By the Philadelphia journals, I perceive a meeting has been called there to provide some such “temporary | home” for the emigrant poor arriving at that port. The Legislature of Massachusetts has also just legislat- ed on the same subject. Their action, however, strik: me as probibitory of the ingress of emigrants, rather than to control and use that element for the common good. They have enacted that every landing of an alien pauper in that State, “without the payment of $100 for each, and giving a bond of $1,000 that such alien rhail not become a public charge, shall be at a Furelty,of $1,000.” The cetinition pauper also appears ikely to be the root of a series of litigations, eually fruitless and wasteful to emigrant shippers and the State authorities of Massachusetts, | To come to New York. | ‘What isthe present emigrant economy of this city, | where eighty per cext of all the incoming strangers | arrive?

Mr. Webster was brought into court in custody of officers Wm. Feterbrook and David Pat- terson, At the opening of the court, the Attorney bend Hon, John H. Ciittord, addressed the court as jows :~ “May it please your Honor--The Grand Jury of this county presented an indictment at Munictpal Court, egai certified up to this court. your Honor, that the prisoner may be arraigned upon that indict- meni The Clerk then called upon the prisoner to stand up, and hold up his right hand, and hearken to the indict ment.

At the close of the reading of the indictment, the clerk asked —‘ John W. Webater, what say you to this indictment—are you guilty or not gents ?
