Closing Session Yesterday. ‘rhe American Bible Unton again met this morning in the Baptist Mariner’s Temple, the President, Rev. Thomas Armitage, D.

Rev. J. Moston, of England, wag next introduced. He said that he had returned to New York from & tour through the States of America, and although it ‘was the first time he had met them personally, it Was not the first time he had spoken on their behalf. Their agent in England, Dr. Wightman, was pro- gressing favorably with their cause, and his teach- ings would exactly meet the wants of the people. ‘The President now read a portion from the Caino- lic Worid for November, in which it was stated that the Baptists deserved great credit fer their efforts in order to secure for Protestants in general a truth- ful and fair translation of the Bible. tHe afterwards asked if the committee was ready w report, but there was no response to the appeal. An elderly gentleman arose m we church and said he was a Connecticut man, but he assured them they would have to work barder than they had hitherto done if they wished to “conquer bis State,’” ‘The bluff, out-spoken manner of this old gentieman created great merriment.

If we were to elevate the noble old Spanish nation, and imyigorate them to a sense of their trae position, or if we wished to instruct Cuba ip the way of freedom, and how to use it when she obtained it, we must give them true principles to act upon, and these would be guaran- } teed by an accurate and intelligible translation of the Scriptures, Mr. Frederick Evans, of New York, next ad- dressed the assembly on behalf of the Union, so far as the Baptists were concerned. An appeal, he said, moust be made in a lofty and liberal sense to the feel- ings and minds of the public, and educate them to the real object, to be obtained by their Union. _ Several resolutions were then offered py Dr. Wyckoff, in which he set forth that benceforward their anniversary meetings should be held in the second week in October of each year.

THE DEAD ALIVE Twelve Men Killed by the Apnches—Oue Taken Prisoncr—Ho is Released After ‘Cwen- ty-cight Days’ Captivity—How the Apaches Wage War. ta {From the Alta California, Oct. 19.) Last July there was published 1p tne Alfa an ac- count of the murder of a party of white men near Kitchen’s ranch, in Arizona, by the Apache In- dians, The names of the murdered men were pub- lished at the time, but now we are called upon to state that one of those supposed to have beed killea 1s still alive ana well. We give below the STORY OF MR. B, B. SMITH, as related by that ce eees yesterday to one of the Teporters of the Alla:— i am a resident of St. Paul, Minn,, where my fam- ily now reside. In 1862 1 came to this coast and for several years travelled a great deal through Arizona, California and the northern part of Mexico. After leading the life of an adventurer fora few years I returned to St. Paul. Last February { came to this coast again and went to San Diego, where I remained until April and then started far Uriz, the capital of Sonora. 1 ee Se saddie horse, and armed with a jenry rifle and two revolvers, I started to make the trip alone as the whoie country was familiar to me, and | had travelied over the route a great many times. I overtook a ey, of seven prospectors on arriving at the line between Arizona and Sonora. dt was on the 7th of July, and 1 found them camped near Peter Kitchen’s ranch. They started on at four P.M., but I stayed and refreshed myself and horse by a couple of hours’ more rest, promising to over- take them. As soon as the moon rose I took to the saddle und proceeted on my journey, THK WHOLE PARTY MURDERED. On arriving within six miles of Monument station my horse sued at an object just ahead in the road. I dismounted, and found it to be the dead body of a man—one of the party that had proceeded me. Within @ hundred yards [ found the dead bodies of the whole party and three of thetr horses. They had been stripped of their clothing, Things Jooked «# little squally and hesitated some time before [ decided to go forwara, 1 proceeded cantiousiy on foot, and within uw mule found another bedy, which, upon examina- ‘tion, proveil to be that of Juan Innego, a Spanish merchant, who resided at Altar, forty miles distant. die was probubiy on his way to Tucson. 1 knew { him well wien L was down there in 1852 and 1853, { About twenty rods from there Ifound the body of a Spamard, known as Cipriano, who lived in Magdu- lina. A little further on L came upon the bodies of three unknown men. There is no mistake about it, 1 was now thoroughly frightened, Death seeu Stare We in the face every way | turned. MADE A PRISONER. While considering what was best to be done I was startled by a vorce near at hand, commanding me in joud English to halt. My Henry rifle was brought up for use, and | now made up my mind to Aight to the death. 1 looked cautiously in every direction, but was unable to discover the person who hailed me. Again f was nailed) with—“Who at you??? still 1 could nov discover where th vowe came from, and knowing I stood the mercy of the person speaking, I replied, “4 friend to all naveons.” Twas then commanded to drop my arms, and { did so. At this, a stalwart Mexican, whose name | afverwarda Jearned was Juan Montoia, strode out of the brush, and taking my horse and arms, ordered me to follow him. He jeud me to & camp of Apache Indians only a few rods distant, where J was placed under guard. Montoia was the leader of the band, which was composed of fifty-six warriors, and his orders were } lL obeyed promptly. That night and the next day | {talked to him m both Spanish and English, and | tried to Jearn from him what was to be my fate; I told him I had served through the war as ab officer m the United States army, and showed him my papers, and told him the object of my mission to Sonora, The next day # number of them started of up the road, aud i 4 short time we heard several shots, and I knew they were murdering otuer wavellers. { remained a prisoner twenty-eight days, and was then released and proceeded on a mule, which Montoia gave me, to Uriz, the capital of Sonora. Whiie I remained with the party they continued their murdering and plundering most every day. They were held under complete muitary discipline by Montoia and were trained to obey coni- | mands which he gave by the bugle when tn action. All were armed with Heury and Sharp’s rifles and revolvers. ‘They were well mounted and fought like veveraus when it came to a close contest. Montoia toid me he had scouts on the hills as lookouts and that they signalled to him the approach of parties and everything of Importance regarding them, £ have no ‘iaea why they spared my life when they killed everybody else on sight. They always nad mg p W and scalp dance alter a killing, and then the spoils were divided. They took my hing aud gave me some old articies, taken from | some of thelr murc victims, in place of them, After {had visited Uriz L returned to Guay way of Hermosiila, Governor Pesquira i very kindly while Lremaimed in Uriz. At Guaymas Mr. Willard, the United States | Consul, showed me papers contaiming an account of the massacre of the party.
