It will remembered that in the lit of the dead were recorded four unknown persons, a man, woman, and two lads of about eleven and fifteen years of age,and they were buried without being recognized, with no friend to follow them to the grave, aud no inscription to be written above them but the sad one of the “unknown.” It will be re- membercd also, that an infant, very neatly dressed, was taken uninjured from the ruins. but found itself umong strangers, without one to claim or even re- cognise it. It naturally excited the sympathies of many of our citizens, and was kindly cared for and nured in one,of our most respectuble families. A cow was also 6n board the train, for which no owner could be found. It was feared that all these might belong to one family. and after long continued and faithful exertions such has been found to be the caso. The investigation has also elicited the following sad fact, that another young man who was killed, about seventeen years of age, and supposed to b Mr. Misner, from a card found in his pocket with this name upon it, was also one of the sons. The name of the family was Kellogg. They were moving from New York State to Minnesota, whither two older sons had already gone, and leaving behind a daugh- ter of full age. These three et members of the family have been here, have reclaimed their in- fant sister, and visited the graves of their parents and three brothers. This is the saddest tale of all connected with this memorable and heattrending catastrophe. Its record will live in some families through more than one generation.—Chicago Tri- bune. INGULAR AND Desrerate ATTEMPT To Mur- pgr.—The Springfield (Mo.) Advertiser relates the following circumstance, which is about the strangest attempt to perpetrate murder, and an equallystrange escape, that we have ever read:—John Russell was on his return home to Stone county, near the mouth of James river, when he was overtaken by three vil- Jains, who evinced a disposition to stop his progress. He attempted to escape from them. They pursued him, and he took to the woods. His horse gave out, and he endeavored to escape on foot; he was taken, his throat cut, his pockets rifled, and he was loft in a thicket, where it was supposed he woulddie. But he survived until next morning, when one of the wretches returned and cut his throat again. He had crawled to @ road and was tracked by his blood. Kimberling was coming along just at the time, and the villain fled before he finished his work. The trachea was cut so as to prevent articulation. He rode back to Berry's, got help, and returned as soon as ‘ible. While he was gone, the fiend returned a third time, and told him he should not live to give evidence against him. The poor fellow armed him- self with a knife, determined to defend himself. He was stunned with a blow from a rock, and_his own knife again used to cut his throat. When Kim- berling returned, in a few minutes, he was removed to a neighboring house, where Mrs. Messenger stitched up the horrible wound, so that he was able to give this information. It is said that the poor fellow may get well. He swallows water well, and breathes through the natural orifice. He had bat little money, and the scoundeels did not get thas. The desperadoes escaped. News rrom tae Carr or G bark Tremont, from Cape of Good Hope, Jene 2, arrived at this port last evening, says the Boston Traveller of the 2th instant. The only news by this arrival is that there is a good deal of grambling, in some parts of the colony, at the new constitution. Ata meeting at Grahamstown, the new constitution was denounced as the greatest curse which bad ever befallen the colony: that under it the most barbarons of the natives could not only vote, but also become candidates themselves, and that, so far asthe franchise is concerned, they might a3 well have been born with black fages. The Cape Monitor, in the excess of its fudignation against the terms of the peace, says that ia cage of further trouble between the colo- nista and the aboriginal chiefs, England will not foot the bill for troops to subjugate, and asks what is to revent the Assembly from invoking the aid of the ch, Dutch, or even Amoricans. With regard to the latter, he says:— It in rumored that the United States conte nplate the removal of their South Atlantic fleet from Rio Janeiro to Teble bag Ve Qs many express en affectionate admira- pro tion tor worn as well aa the republicaaism of ro- ther Jovathas, it is not unlikely that in the event of auch ® econ Kaffir war, the epirit of Yankee ‘weuld not be invoked in vain.

M , 1863 Off head Beaver Irland, 15 miles from the main opposite Pive River, Mich., windS 3. E., light and ciesr, Heard reports of firearms and loud shouts as of @ (arly melee on the main. Directly saw two small ats coming off from the settlement at Pine river. Immediately saw another large fish boat in pursuit of the two ahead, all ap otly filled with men. A brisk fire was kept up from the stern boat upon the two others. As they approached, saw there was trouble and excitement. The two boats ahead were endeavorin, to get clear from the more powerful as- sailants in the larger boat, which was fast geinin, on them, keeping up a brisk running. fire without re- ceiving a shot in return. In this condition the two head boats approached within hailing distance of us, and begged us to take them on board and afford them rotection, to which I assented, and Srey came on rd. The boat in chase, now about fifty rods dis- tant, “threw up” and lay on their oars, ceased firing, and hailed us, forbid my receiving the cursed. Mormons on board—that they were pi , deserved, death, and should die, as also all those who protected them, &c., &c., to all of which I mildly replied, that the affair was somewhat an exciting one, and that [ could not permit them to approach any nearer the vessel, in their present excited stute, at which they held a short consultation and then rowed off for the shore from whence they came, Pine river. Upon an inquiry into the affair and an examination. of the wounded wh» had come on board I ascertain- ed the following facts:—The part consisted of fif- teen men, among whom were the High Sheriff of the Mcrmon county, (Beaver Island,) other officials, oiti- zens, &c., all Mormons, or adherents of the Latter Day Saints ; six of them were severely wounded. From all appearances they had a narrow escape from their infuriated pursuers. Rifle balls had shat- tered and riddled the boat, and had indiscriminatel: broken legs, arms, thighs, &c., of the boats crewi but miraculously escaped taking effect in immediate vital places. Six men were wounded, but none mer- tally, though more than two hundred guns are kaowa to have been fired, all in short range. The following is the list of wounded:— Isaac Pierce, au ounce ball through his arm, botly bones broken. It is hoped his arm will be saved. A. J. Porter, shot through the hip; the ball as he sat on the rail of the boat, lengthwise of the limb, stopping at the knee; doing well. A. J. Hall, severe flesh wound in the arm jast:be- low the shoulder; bled protasely, but not dangceeeie J.T. Pierce, Alexander Wentworth, and ay) slighey wounded. After the excitement’ had somewhat subsided, and the. wounded had been feared for, to the best of my ability, I obtained tl eit] informa- tion in relation to the general fight, difficulty, &c :— Beaver Island is settled with a majority of Mormons, By late legislative acts it has been set off into a. coun- ty, towns, &c. The inhabitants have proceeded te organize, elect officers, &c. The Mormons, being im the ascendancy, of course carried the election, aad the test in politics was Mormons and Gentiles, (not whigs, democrats and free soilers.) The were beaten in the election, and when they saw their situation came.to the determination to be noa-acterss that is, claimed no organization, subject to no law, especially to no Mormon law. However, the authori- ties that be went legally in, ard in pursuanceof law, the. sheriff on this occasion had proceeded to the townebip of Pine River, in said county, to summon three jurymen to attend the County Court, then in session at Beaver Harbor. Upon the sheriff's to summons these jurymen, the gentiles of Pine River township assembled with arms, sticks, stones, &e., protesting against any law, ‘ial'y Mormon law, ordered the sheriff of, and the running fight, as be- fore described, then and there commen: The party on seyitg at Beaver Island went in their own boats, and from appearances the will not be settled without further bloodshed.
