Upon arriving at the place where the wagons wore attacked, we fouad the bodies of six men, and in the cage brush, from a quarter to half a mile from this place, im different directions, the bodies of four more were found. Here one wagon was burned. About four hundred yards from this place, at the eage of the brush, was foun:! the body cf Miss Ward- (age about seventeen ears.) Her body bore signs of thai most brutal vio- oe—a hot iron had been fhrust into her person, Coubtless while alive. Not far from her, three wajo2s had been burned.
