Old man Speers came near losing his life, he not idemtifying them as Indians until they were close upon him. He managed to escape to shelter, and the Indians contented themselves with taking all the horses they could find. Leaving Speers’ house, they attacked a Mexican train encamped near by, killed one Mexican, and carried off as a captive a young boy. They then proceeded southerly, visited Finiey’s ranche, on the Chapperoso, stealing, but not killing, from whence they passed wo the Pendencia xetiiement in the broad daylight of the next day. They surrounded the houses aud drove the people tndoors und took every horse they could lay hands on, Here also a boy was taken by them and carried of. Their next visit was to the Cariga, and it was here that David Adarus was killed in sight of his house. A party of six Americans and two Mexicans gave light to the Indians near this place, but the odds of forty to eight were too heavy, and they were force to retire, Both Mexicans were killed. Soon after Dr. Woodbridge, of the Trontier ferces, with a party of a dozen rangers, caine up with the Indians and gave battle. ‘The tight raged at intervals all day. ‘This galiaat liltie band managed to kil eight of the red devils, wile they lost one man killed and two wounded, At last accounts the Indians were pressed hard; their horses were in an exhausted state, and the whole Country in a state of excite- ment that brought out every man armed two the teeth. Scouts were out from all the neighboring forts, and the rangers were hastening to head the fends off Twenty-five of the Indians passed up between the Blanco and Frio. Meeting two rangers en route Lo Fort Inge, they waylaid and killed them both. The country is horrified. ‘his alarm has spread in every direction. hers and brothers look into the blanched faces ef each other, and silently wonder how much longer the sirong arm of a government 1s to allow its people to be ruthlessly massacred.

Interview with the New Senator Elect from North Carolina, The Circumstances of Vance’s Election—His View About Admission tothe Senate—Effect of a Re- fusal to Seat Him—Ben Butler's Amnesty Bil) Not Liked—His Ideas of the Justice or Policy of Impeachment Conflict. CuaRLoTre, N. C., Dec. 24, 1870. So many and widespread conflicting statements have been published regarding the political views and sentiments of ex-Governor Vance, the newly elected United States Senator from North Carolina, Mat it seemed peculiarly appropriate the public should be set right on this head through the HERALD. Accordingly, with this purpose, I paid a special visit to this city, where the ex-Governor re- sides, Vance was elected in justice to the great Western section of the State, the two Senators now representing it being eastern men. The west de- manded a Senator, and m all that wide mountain- ous domain there was no man whose feelings and sentiments were so fully in accord with the Union people and former whigs as Vance, If he had been obnoxious to this class his claims as a cane didate for the senatership would never have been put forward; and, besides this, there was no otner representative an of public note in that section who was not equally under the ban of political disabilities, His election consequently became a matter rather of necessity than choice with the Legislature, which body would, in all probability have preferred to send some leading democrat to the Senate—such as ex-Governor Bragg, Gen eral Mat Ransom, or men of that stamp. It is @ mistaken idea that Vance was elected because of his war record or because of any- thing he did or said during the war; on the contrary his anti-war record had a more decided influence in that direction; but his election 1s chiefly due to his character as @ representative man. I found the new Senator in his office pusily en- gaged with several of his cilents and very muen fatigued, as he had just returned from the neighbor- ing couuty of Cabbanas, where he had been for the past Week conducting the defence in a complicated morder trial. He was jovial, candid, cracked jokes every few moments or told a side-splitting anecdote, and paid a compliment to the enterprise of we HERALD, Owing to his extreme fatigue our inter- view had necessartiy to be briet, though at the same time general. CoRKESPONDENT—Governor, do you think you will be admitted to the Seuate when you make appli- cation + GoverNor—I do not know. I thought I would be admitted or I would not have asked my friends ia the Legislature to vote for me. 1ldok at it in this way: Congress has relieved many of the most ob- noxious men who had for years been teaching seces- sion and working up the Southern mind, and firing the Southern heart for separation and war; and I did not see why the y should not relieve one whose only crime consisted in fighting for bis State when forced invo it py the action of others, CORRESPONDENT—Have you any assurances from leading republicans in the Senate that you will be admitted ? GovreRNor—! have some pretty strong assurances from Senators and Representatives who seem anx- 10us lo aniet the South and restore harmony by acts of kindness éf this sort, but from none that [ can remember except such as are known to favor general amnesty. CoRrESvONDENT—What do you suppose would be the effect nationally and here in tne State of a 1 fusal to seat you? GoverNnok —I cannot think that a refusal to seat me will nave any effect nationally; certainly not so far as Tam personally concerned, thougn it might be regarded as of importance lookea upon in the light or snuobug a State tuily in the Union, In this State it would have 1 niluence—rainer an unfor- tunate miuence on the republicay party, For smce We have accepted the results of the war so com- pletely, and complied so fully with all the require.

DECEMBER 27, 1870. “Little Game”? {Prom the Chicago Post (republican) Dee, 19.) The New York Leader, organ of Tammany Hail democracy, announces the withdrawal of John T. Hoffman as candidate for the Presidency tn 1872. ‘The article admits the right of the West to the nomi- nation and virtually accords the honor to ex-Senator Hendricks, of Indidfia, who, tt presumes, is gene- Tally acceptable to all sections, ‘The question of the nomination of a democratic candidate for *he Presidency is one of curiosity, Whoever he may be, he will meet with discomfture, and that for the plain reason that the generation which saved this repub! from the assaults of slaveholding traitors cannot be inuuced to place in power a party which took the wrong side in that vital contest. By no honest means can that party succeed for many years, The nominauen of Mr. Hendric however, by the organ of Tammany at this time—so long before the convention can bé called—is putting in opera- tion am old trick Whereby fis chances may be utterly destroyed, There is a feud in the democratic camp of the West. The Pendieton wing of the party is enthusiastically devoted to “Gentleman George,” and it wiil not permit Tammany to dictate tts camdl- date. This 18, peraaps, the larger wing of the party in this section, not even excepting indiana, where Mr, Hendricks would be endorsed only in a compil- | mentary way. If he should seriously underiake it, | Gentleman George could beat Mr. Hendricks even tn | Indiana. He could, we judge, certainly beat hiw in every other Northwestern State, except Iilinois, and, perhaps, Ohio, We thas except Ohio, because in that State there is a feud between the Iriends of Mr. Pendieton and Mr, Vallandigham, which divides the party not far from the midale, ‘the object of Tammany, when we consider the situation in the West, is apparent, Mr, Hoifman is put out of the contest. le mugnanimously gives: way to the West, He thereby earns the goed opinion of this section, and prevents assaults upon him. But this magnanimous course on his part necessarily results in patting diferent fractions of his party In the West by the ears. {t will not be very lol Ullsuch resuit will have been brought about, The West will be divided or it will havea preponderance of strength for aman who will not acceptable to the East and cannot be nominated, hen Mr, Hoffman, by whom, with the help of the inost atrocious irauds, New York was transferred to democratic controi, will come in and win. This 1s the litde game that Tammany ts piaying, and Mr. Peter B. Sweeney, having stocked the cards, ix deal- ing them out so as to make success a certainty. If ‘Tammany goes on forthe next six mouths as well as ithas begun the nomination of Mr. Hoffman may then be set down a8 among the certainties of the future, ROMANCE OF THE GRAVEYARD. A Resurrectionist Captured, but Outwits Hin Captors. [From the Cineinnati Gazette, Dec. 24.) It wul be remembered that a short time ago we gave an accennt of the modus operand practised by body snatchers in the pursuit of their repulsive occupation, and how the burying grounds o! the city and county imnrmaries and of Lougview Asylum were depopulated of the dead paupers, We have now to record an incident of Wednesday night in the lustory of Cunningham, familiarly called “Old Cunuy," Ih which he was ‘sadly iuterrupted while engaged with two black experts in elevating a couple of subjects interred mi the graveyard used by the City Infirmary, justin the rear of Uaav mstit tom, lt seems that this notorions veteran in the bus i- ness, accompanied by his two stalwart assistant s*arted out Wednesday might on the avenue in his open spring wagon. The objective point Was the burying place of paupers apove mentioned. The night was cold anc the air bracing, In order to Keep the cold out and tie animal f im *Cunny? Stopped at the Avenue House in Carthage te “wet his whistle,” between the hours of eleven and twelve. He was also seen at eight o'clock, when a party of eight persons, divining his movements, was at once formed, who followed hun and his assistants to the graveyard. Here, to tne joy of the aged,resurrectionst, hie discovered iwo freshly made graves of two paupers Who had been burned the day belore. The party in pursuit surrounded the grave- yard and commenced firing promiscuously at the ghouls just as they were in the act of raising the subjects from their last resting place. The cojored assistants at once drepped thelr Wools and excaped through the adjoining woods, Several shots were ficed afier them, none taking elect. The party then advancea toward “Canny” and | told him to give himself up. He was told to hold up his hands to show that he had no weapons in his pockets. But he was very obstinate, and refused to hold up both hands, resoluiely Keeping one of them in his pocket. Ap athietic fellow iminediately brought a loaded rifle to bear upon bim, but the cap snapped, and ancther was put on with like result. ‘This litte acciaent no doubt saved Cunny trem be- coming food for the dissecting room, and seemg the determination of his captors to straimarily dispose of him he reluctantly gave Munself up alter sliding down a steep hill of 600 feet. He handed over a seven shooter and begged them “for God's sake” to Spare his iife, He Was then taken buck to the grave- fast getting together. In fact the battle fougnt here jast summer was on purely local Issues, and thousands of republicans in the West helped us to break up the — corrupt rings that were eatin us up. Searcely & word of national politics Was uttered, It was somewnat tn this fecling that the Legislature elected me Senator; notin de- flance of the Jaw which made me inellgibie, as has heen said by some of the republican papers, but in the hope and belief tnat Congress would relieve me, and not limit tie choice of the State in any respect, provided she selected a law-abiding citizen.

Goverxor—I have not read the reports with regularity, and am not posted on the merits of the discussion now going on im regard to general am- | hesty. Of course we don’t like Butler's bill, bat, as the old Preshyterian said to his antay in arguing against rhal punishment ad that sinners might burn for ten thousand 80, “it is better than nothing.” As an imdiciion of a change of opinion North and a return of good fe ing towards us, it is very grauiymg, and the senu- ments uttered by many of the speakers hay bly touched the hearts of mapy of our people, CORRESPONDENT—If you are not admitted at an early day will you resign in time to allow this Legis- lature to elect your successor ? GovERNOR—If not admitted soon, and T find the sense of Congress decidedly opposed to me. 1 shail, of course, resign. I want my State represented, and there are many first rare i among us who have been reiteved. I shall be guided by circumstance: of course. CORRESPONDENT—What do you think about the impeachment of Governor Holaeu, and how do you think it will afect you?

I have advised nei.her way in regard to it, my ideas in re- gard to ats justice and 1s pollcy being somewhat in conflet, Were | to interfere in it either way it would be charged upon me either as an act of personal revenge toward a personal enemy or as done to effect my admission to the Senate. 1 don’t Know how Congress looks atit.

GoveRNoR—I have not much te say about the newspaper attaeks upon me, My epidermis is pretty thick, and I can stand as much thrashing as the next man. None ef them, I believe, have ac- cused me of being a fool or dishonest or eorrupt, and some strong republican papers have spoken of me very — kindly on the whole, {cared more for a charge that Forney made against me, of treating Union | koagemeng with inhumanity, than for any other, This was absolutely and cruelly false, as everybody in this country and the records of my administration will testify. Greeley says enough to keep anybouy from vouung for me, and then winds up by urging that I be admitted —I suppose for the saimé reason le Uhat made the temperance: man around with hym—to ple.

He said he did not expect such a load of “bodies” to bring back. If he “could get twenty dollars apiece tor the party he Would do well.” On the return to Carihage ne stopped at the six mile house, the “Black Bear,” and another public house, and treated his captors profusely to the drinks, which cost him four or five dollars. He was then released and started to the cuy with an empty wagon, while his doughty eap- tors dispersed to their homes In the serene conscious ness that they had done their duty. Bot while Canny was away irom the graveyard with bis captors at Carthage, the negroes, who undoubtedly have been trained up in the detestable business by Old Cunny to tue point of absolute perfection, returned two tie graves, hooked the subjects out, pul them in sacks and awaited the return of the evil genius, He not long after" 1 made his appearance with his wagon, having thrown his captors of the seeut by going back in the direction of Uw y.

The Park Ponds and All Other Poods Crowded with Skaters—A Splendid Day and Splendid Sport. Dame Nature does not often put herself out of the Way at any time of the year to oblige Gothamites any more than any other particular portion of this terrestrial sphere of ours; but she certainly must have exerted berself a little yesterday to please ue majority of New Yorkers, who have an idea that a Christmas without skating 16 no Christmas at all. In fact, skaters could not have obtained a finer day than was yesterday in point of weather, or ® more slippery surface for every pond for miles around had they for a month before gone down on thelr marrow bones ery day for two hours successively to beg of the “authorities that ve’ over our freezing destinies to grant the icy boon each so long wished for, Dame Nature, therefore, deserves well of the skating community, ho matter how she may see ft to act before the present week has run its length, It is not often that the ponds in this viemlty are in a fit condition for skating as early as Christmas. In fact, THE SKATING SEASON Was lever opened vefore the 26th day of December, with but one exception, previous to this year, since the Park ponds were the property of the public; bat somehow or other skaters always get it into their noddle that somebody who is an oficial body is to blame whenever they are not allowed on the ponds just as soon «48th first cold snap puts a transparent platform over the waters, The Park Commissioners, however, have most wondrous ways their works to perform, and although people do find fault with them whenever they do not do exactly as the aloresafd people want them to do, thelr ways, &8 a general thing, always turn ont to be the rignt ways in the long rua, The Park ponds were covered with an excellent layer of ice four or five days ago, and a large number of the employs, who are accustomed to risk a ducking every winter, that the general public may not get its nice clothes wet when the “‘s¢ason’’ sets in, were able to walk over it from shore to shore in a crowd us carly as Thursday last. During one of the essays a portion of the layer cracked bodily, and tnis tact Was suflictent ot itself to make Judge Hilton and his confreres refrain from hoisting the ball to the stop of the Arsenal pole, it was in vain that adven- luresome urchins, Who don’t believe inthe Park Commissioners a8 much as good boys should, skuiked Jato the groves near the pond and then glided out upon the glassy surface with skates ghtiy strapped, for they were aiways nabbed by those terrible gray coats, commaaged by Captain Muls. But (he sigit of ? “THE BALL UP” on the Arsenal yesterday put an end to juvenile as well as seule an&iety op the skating subject, apd long before many a breakfast had been prepared the cars leading to the Park were crowded to repletion by the devotees of the “Irons.” Indeed, up to taree and as late as five o'clock in the afternoon there was an incessant flow through the avenues of men, w 1 and children, all bound to the winter Mecca of am—the Park ponds. At noon the lake was so crowded that locomotion was almost an imposal- bility, and had Une ice on the lary lake especially not been over & foot thick, as It was, Ube pressure would assuredly have given occasion for a lively time m= uw wet clothes line, and promably in the coughing line also, The ice was not only thick enough to bear up the thirty thonsand or more persons who during the day cut up their iron-teal anines with their patents, but it Was so slippery that the unlack, wights who attempted to Walk across the lakes wit the coolness they would have displayed im stepping Jrom one side of a parlor to anocher, and who were not scientific enough to know HOW TO SKATE, came to untimely grief many times before they were able to reach terra Joma, it 18 safe to say that there never was a finer field of ice in the Park wince it was opened, and this fact may no doubt ‘ount for the — blood-stained handkerchiels that were wound about so many fore- heads before evening had weil set in, a well as for the canes that were im demand all day long by the skateless portion of the many thousands present. So creat was the eagerness displayed by old and young alike to get to the ponds as © me as possible after the mystic ball had been desc dangling an invitation to every one, that hundreds reached the jake houses only lo discover that they had left their skates at home. Others who do hot care to trust to sham Nature's fantasies and run the chance of a proit on the “loss’ side of thelr ledger by in- vesting in & pair of skates every year, arrived at the ponds as glecfully as the joliiest skater owner on the ice and made thé mosi of thetr poverty py hirtg & patr just for the asion. To say that the Park Cotomissioners did not make a OODLY PILE OF GREENBACKS for the benefit of the Park by this, although the ubiquitous Braun, swellered as ordinary men dom the dog days, in his vain efforts to make even non- skaters add to the general fund, would be @ hazard- ous assertion. The ladies did not turn out m vary great lorce, having evidentiy been compelled to stay at home to sicep off the tiresome eifecis of & Sunday Christmas, but in their stead there was a goodly supply of the beginuers, who, thanks to their sprawlings, their fallings and their graspings for a hoid When they felt their underpinning giving way, managed to secure u very clear space for them seives im whatever part of the | y saw tit to stumble and tumble, The large lake afforded THE BEST SPORT, as the lee was much more glissy than opon the Oihers, AS a consequence the crowding was im. mense. ‘The fancy skaters who love to have elbow rovm enough to display themselves — betore the gaping waltitudes who follow them from place to place, in hope no doubt of seeing them fail and break their necks as they dash avout at ail sorts of augies, were at a loss to Know how to witha avoid Turnishing the coroner dental cases selected from the hegiite ners, Who Wi tostumbie inthe way Just as Mr. Fancy Skater was performing a music vaton’s movement in midair with his fee’, On the upper or smalllake, which joins the large one beneath te great bridge, the ice was exceleni, bui northern portion of it Was reserved exclusively a number ot wNY SCOTS”? who enjoyed themselves hugely In a “curling” game, Many of the old curlers weré on band, prominent amoug whom was Willie lloustun, who tried te make more points than any one else, but did not succeed by & good many odds.

One of the best jokes of the day on this lake was @ big signof “Danger,” which was @ placed on beam stretched from shore to shore in such @ Way that he who ran, or rather skated, In 11s direc- Non was certain to read if, ifhe could read at all. What the danger reaily was the skaters were unabie to find out from the policeman who stood guard at the beam and warned all intruders away with a majestic gesture of the hand that put to flight every urchin that came within hating distance. There Was @ littic pool of open water near the boat steps which the gray coat occasionally eyed with a sort of contemptuous regard, as though 10 his heart and. soul he were wishing it to be 8. 0. P.
