Murder and outrage ON the Plains-Deaih Of
Mr.. Thnp-E Express from General Kem-


neg, Sc, &c.


| Captain ST. Vrain, Messrs George Bent, J. w.
Folger. F. p. Blair, Jr., E. Chadwick, J, T. Hoff
man, Of Baltimore, and other gentlemen, arrived
here last evening" says The ST. Louis Revelle Of the
18th inst. They left Santa Fe May 18th. Every
thing was quiet at that place. The latest date from
Chihuahua was the 9Th April. Col. Doniphan, with
part Of his forces, had left for Parras Lieut. COL
Jackson, in command at Chihuahua.


Captain st. Vrain and party left Taos on the
| 18th ult. Lieut.. Col. Wilcox was at that place
with his whole command. No danger Of an out
tary force in the valley. The Mexicans were quiet
from compuIsion


Our friends left Fort William on the 26lA ult.,
and reached Westport in fourteen days. Things in
the Indian country are in very miserable condi-
ton. Mexicans implicated in the late insurrecton
have joined the different tribes of Indians, and have
committed depredations at the different grsziag
grounds 10 great extent, particularly at the Ponil
They have succeeded in driving off and killing two
thirds Of the cattle, mules, &C., belonging to the
United States; also animals belonging to volunteer
companies, and Bent, ST. Vrain e. Co. Bent, St.
Vrain & Co. have been obliged to remove the stock
remaining, belonging to the Government, them
selves, and other persons from the Pon
! The conduct Of the Indians on the Arkansas, &c.
is no better. Hardly party passing from the set
Z L l--L n
plundered. The Camanches and Pawnees are at
open W ar, and the Arappahoes and Cheyennes, al
though proftssedly friendly, are in tuth not much
better.


Bent, St Vrain g. Co.'s wagons and William
Tharp's wagons were attacked at Walnut creek on
the 18th ult. by party of Indians, who killed Mr..
Tharp and took away upwards Of sixty mules and
horses, and the same number Of cattle. Mr.. Fran
els De Lisle, B. s. & Co.'S wagon master, and Mr..
Tharp, went out to kill buffalo which were within
tancc from each other, but only 900 yards from
camp when they were attacked by Indians. Mr..
Tharp was killed-De Lsle saved his life by re-
serving his FIRE until the men at camp came to his
assistance. The Indians made their charge in three
different parties. Mr. De Lisle believes that they
were Arappahoes. Our friends met several trains
Of Government wagons, also several trains belong
ing to traders, who may perchsnce lose their ami
mails, if not their lives, if they not on the look
out. The road has not been so dangerous for ssve-
raj years.


/ Two or three Mexicons came into Taos, about
the 18th ult and reported that they had left party
of about fifteen Americans on Green river, who
were bringing an express from Gen. Kearney. The
express would probably reach Santa Fe in few
days They met Mr.. Newman with mail. He
was nearly in California. This is the same express
taken by Mr.. Solomon Sublctte to Santa Fe, n
January last.


/ Il is expected in Santa Fe, that Col. Price and
Col. Doniphan, with their troops, would be reliev-
ed certainly, in June. The volunteers were very
anxious to leave.
