The Massacre.
The Aspiowall Courier gives the fol-
lowing account of the affray at Panama.
The difficulty originated in a dispute
about one dime, between an intoxicated
passenger and a native, respecting pay-
ment for a piece of water meloi1. The
story is, that the native being exaspera-
ted by the conduct of the passenger,
drew a knife. on seeing which the pas-
scnger fired at the native, and severely
wounded him. This brought forward
another native, who stabbed the passen-
ger, and then the _combatants increased
considerably on both sides for some time
—a number were shot, and more sadly
cut with niachetes. Through the exer-
lions of Mr. J. W. Johnson, the Panama
Railroad Superintendent at the Panama
station, the fight was then stayed for 3
short time. But, anon, it broke 011!
with renewed viol.ence, and an apparent
organization and evident method, which
told fearfully for the nativen. About
_ 'this time it began to be evident that
spite against the Railroad Company,and
plunder, were the chief motives of the
atrocities and depredationsl which had
been and were to becommitted.
The first affiray occurred between 6
and 7 P. M., and there were but few
briefiutervals of tolerable quiet between
tbs‘. hour and midnight. The most ter-
‘ to assault was made between .9 10
ack.
.ll the ofliciads on the station, with the
eption of the superintendent, lost ev-
liing they ha:-d in clothing and valua-
of every description. The Panama
Railroad counrinjg room (including the
desks of the Mail Steamship Company)
were entirely ransacked, and everything
of value"carried off; the books and - pa-
pers were cut and torn to pieces, and one
of the safes (which contained but ‘little
money) was broken open and pillaged,
while the other was pierced to the inner
liuiiigs, but nothing was taken therefrom
Every drawer desk and closet was ran-
sacked, and nothing was left in its place
or uninjured. The freight house was
riddled with balls, and all the baggage
that had not been put in the lighters to
go off to the steamer was rifled. The
officers all left the station, except Mr.
Center and Mr. Johnson; they were on
the premises until the ransacking was
nearly completed. Mr. Center had sev:
eral very narrow escapes; two men
were shot by his side,.and he avoided
the same fate by concealing himself
among the rafters of the buildings.

as if to removesome mark that might
lead to identification; a portion of the
flesh of the left arm, between the elbow
and the wrist, had also been removed ;
the top of the skull is bare of flesh, and
the bones of the limbs are in someplace:
exposed, from the length of time it has

tied near the ankle by a rope, to which
a weight seemed to have been attached ;

Harper-’s .MagaziI_|e.
The J one No. of this favorite Magazine has
been received from C.nIP’s. It contains as
usual, at large amount of valuable matter,
with appropriate illustrations. The present"
number it will he remembered, is the com-
mencernent of a new volume, and therefore
the right time for-those -who. wish a good
work, to subscribe. By reference to our-zadv.
columns, it will be seen that Curr placesiit
in the power of every one to have this popu-
lar monthly, as lie receives subscriptions at
the publisber’s retail price (-25' cents II No.)
and at the close of'each volume, he will bind
them in a neat and -.dur-able style, free -of
charge. .
Cur has also received No. 19 of Harper’s
Story Books, entitled “ The Engineer.” This
series of popular works are from the pen of
that pleasing writer for the young, Jacob Ab-
bott. We do not believe a parent could bet-3
ter gratify his children, than by subscribing
{or this work. ' A
We also find upon our table, a generous do-
not-i0.I.I of genuine and most exquisite French
Perfumed Exli1'3l9ll78_. A and Shaving Soaps, of
which he has a most excelleut assortment. It
is the liberal merchant who commends himself
to the -heart of the printer, and to the ‘l._liea,I-,t_s‘
of his countrymen,” also. 1
