The attack began in conformity to the plans by beating Charlea W. Roby, the superintendent ot the mines The crowd then proceeded to the superintendent's hsadquarters, and before night Ave whites were murdered in the manner described in former dispatches. A highly favored people, mindful of their dependence on the bounty of Divine Providence, should seek fitting oocasion to testify gratitude and ascribe praise to Him who is the author ol their many blessings.
