Attack on the Mail Ivui-I'ai-liculaM ol* the
Death ol Luring.
Circumstantial details of the attack on
the Arizona mail stage leave no doubt as to
the unhappy fate off Fred W. Loring. The
Arisona Miner, published in the vicinity of
the scene of lite attack, give:-; the follow
ing details of the tragedy :
At an early hour ou Sunday morning,
the flth inst., "the mail stage on the route
from Wickenburg to Khrenburg left tlie
former place with the driver, John I .an/.,
and the following named passengers :
Frederick Shohohn, Frederick W. Loring,
P. M. Ilamel, W. O. Salmon, C. S. Adams,
William Kruger and Miss Sheppard. At a
point about nine miles from Wickenburg a
party of mounted men, either Indians or
Mexican bandits disguised its Apaches,
rushed down upon the stage as it was
passing through a canon and fired a volley
into the passengers, killing all but two per
sons, and slightly wounding these.
The wounded—Mr. Kruger and Miss
Sheppard—not being disabled, immediately
sprang from the stage, which was now
brought to a halt, antl started together to
ward I'idling's station. White one detach
ment of the bloodthirsty wretches sur
rounded the stage, the others went in pur
suit of the fugitives, keeping up a desultory
fire; not being all mounted, their aim was
unsteady, so that beyond a slight wound
received by Miss Sheppard neither sustain
ed further injury than the wounds inllicted
by the first fire. This pursuit was kept
up for a distance of nearly half
a mile, the pursuers being meanwhile
kept at bay by Mr, Kruger, who still
retained his revolver, and fired upon them
whenever they drew too near, causing
them to scatter and retreat, but only to
rally again to the pursuit, until dually they
withdrew and joined their fellows. The
fugitives continued ou their way toward
(.'idling's Wells until they hailed the east
ward-bound mail, a few miles from that
station. Here they were picked up by the
driver who retraced his steps to the station,
from which point information of the calam
ity was sent to Wickenburg via the Vul
ture Mine, the bearer fearing to proceed
by the direct route.
* About midnight two parties of citizens
started from Wickenburg for the scene of
the attack, one to bring in the dead and the
other to take the trail of the murderers.
I'pon reaching the stage a most horrible
picture was presented to their sight. Six
men—Messrs. Loring, Shoholm, Lanz,
Hamel, Adams and Salmon —lay side by
side rigid in death and drenched with blood.
The mystery which surrounds the identity
of the murderers exists in the disposition
which was made of the mail and baggage,
One mail sack was cut open and its con
tents scattered over the ground ; the other
was left untouched.
The baggage of the passengers was
broken open, ami while articles of but lit
tle value were carried away, large sums of
money and other valuables remained. All
this would suggest the work of ignorant
savages, but as neither the arms, ammuni
tion nor animals hail been removed, soma
arc inclined to the opinion that the outrage
was perpetrated by a band of Mexican
bandits Irom Sonofa. Mr. Kruger, who
has really had the best opportunity of de
ciding this question, states positively that
they were Indians.

It Is projioppd to tsfiu, from thin inntitution an
iiliii* t rat I'd monthly four-page newspaper ('24x36
inches, full slip) tohp called
THE SOUTHERN WOUKMAN,
Devoted to the industrial classes of the South.
S. C ARUiTROHo, editorial manager; J. F. li.
Marshall, business manager. Terms: Une dol
lara year, In advance.
The lirst number is expected to appear not
later than next Christmas, ,la ted January Ist,
1872 : succeeding numbers on or before the lirst of
every month.
«* The Southern Workman" will be printed on
fair wl-ft* book paper. Mr. J. R. U-good. of
Boston has generously offered a picture from
Rvtry Saturday for each number. It is hoped to
secure further contributions in order to present,
In each number, a variety of illustrations, em
bracing pic in res of the best inventions in agricul
tural and household machinery, of good stock of
every kind, of famous places and scenes, and of
domestic life ; also portraits of distinguished
men.
Mere writing will not go far with a large por
tion of onr constituents ; adequnt* Ideas of what
they have never seen or heard of can best be con
veyed hy pictures ; written English is almost an
unknown tongue to the Southern workman ;
reading is so irksome as to be of little pleasure
to him. (food and cheap information has not
been presented to the laboring classes in a man
ner adapted to win their attention and sidted to
their needs.
We *ihall aim, ultimately, to reach those who
take no newspaper—to create a class of readers
whose information now scarcely reaches beyond
their visible horizon, and yet whose responsibili
ties and actions extend to and affect every part
of our country.
This is mission work—not a speculation—and
as such we take it up, believing that it will, in B
a year, ljeeome self-supporting, and regarding
the mechanical part as germane to tbe plan of
the institute.
We hope to enler the cottage or cabin as a
welcome guest, with amusement and Instruction
for young and old; to satisfy, iv an effectual way,
the universal desire to know what is going on in
the world, and to connect more closely, if possi
ble, the chords of sympathy that stretch from
heart to heart all over this land, by teaching our
readers the lesson of true brotherhood, nnd mak
ing bright and clear the relations and duties of
free men.
It is therefore proposed to publish an attrac
tive sheet, giving the news of the day, corres
pondence from different parts of the country and
world, to urge practical measures for thi' benefit
of the people, to stimulate respect lor labor and
self-help, and enthusiasm for education, tn mag
nify the office of the teacher, to give attention to
agriculture and the arts, by writing and illustra
tion, and to devote several columns tumoral and
religious reading. Without being denomination
al we hope to cooperate with all true Christian
workers.
Of all Southern workmen tho teacher Is the
most available lor the diffusion of literary tastes;
he is the entering wedge. He occupies* the ex
ceptional position of having no educated class
around him. If It be possible to awaken hit. in
terest in general subjects, his tastes will be re
flected in the minds of hi* pupils, and the great
point will be gained, that a newspaper will find
lv the cottage appreciative listeners. The neces
sities of the teacher in encouragement and infor
mation will therefore receive a leading share of
consideration in this journal.
Our agricultural column will he directed espe
cially to giving such information as may benefit
small landed proprietors. The peculiar misfor
tune of the Southern workman is, that he has
had no school in which to learn systems of mixed
farming adapted to the changed circumstauces
of the South.
WHAT HAS BEEX DONE.
An excellent ontflt fox a job and newspaper
oflice has been purchased and set up in our prin
cipal building. An experienced and energetic
foreman, Mr. W. J. Butter-Held, late of Hii-cr
rtcU Press, Cambridge, Mass., is In charge, and a
good job business has commenced. Fourstudents
are learning the trade, and many mom desire the
opportunity.
WHAT IS NEEDED.
Ten thousand dollars are needed to carry this
enterprise through. .Hy using a W.ishhiKton
band-press and a ltznited stock we need but $4,000
in hand at the outset; $4,050 have oeen contribu
ted ; $3,000 are needed immediately to pay for
the outfit.
We submit our cause to the friends of the labor
ing classes at the South, asking their thoughtful
attention to this statement, urging again the nerd
of more light for these dark masses, of a swifter,
more wide-spread agency than the school teacher
—a herald and helper of the free school— and re
minding them that from the printing-office to its
most distant reach our pap r will practically ad
vocate self-help, equal rights, and a fair opportu
nity for all.
Contributions may be sent to the editor or busi
ness manager.

EDITED BY M. L. HOLBROOK.M. D., ■
Editor of the Herald of Health.
N»w Yore: Wood & Holbhook; Hostoh:
A. Williams & Co.
This little book is most timely, for it supplies
in a concise and easily to be comprehended form
just that information which every woman should
have, and will save untold suffering, not only at
childbirth, but before. It has been most highly
commended by the press and by medical men.
Dr. Dio Lewis, speaking of it, says: "I have
read it with care. It is unpretending, solid, free
from kinks, fatherly, brotherly, and clothed with
language so simple, dignified, and strong, that I
am sure it will secure a warm place umontj all
intellgent and earnest people."
Henry Ward Beecher's paper says: "It is an
.■.uteres-ting and plausible argument, and the
course recommended cannot fail to be bene
ficial."
The New York Mail says : "It is a work whose
excellence surpasses our power to commend."
The New YorV* Globe says: "It is one of the
most valuable additions to our stock of domestic
medical lore that has appeared for many years."
It shows women how they should live so as to
avoid the pains and sufferings of child-bearing.
No person who takes it up will put it down till
he has read it through. We may add that the
language is so chaste and pure that it will de
light the most fastidious, and we are glatl to
know it is meeting a large sale, and thnt a house
of such high standing as that of A. Williams &
Co., of Boston, have taken the agency for the
New England States. The price, $1, is so low

A TRACT OF LAND,
lying in the county of Botetourt, Virginia,
CONTAINING 473 ACRES,
on which is situated the celebrated watering
place, known ns
DAGGERS OR DIBBRELLS SPRING.
This spring is beautifully situated at the foot of
Garden mountain, in the county of Botetourt,
Virginin, nine miles from Clifton Forge, on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and directly on
the proi»osed line of said road down the James
river, and three miles from James river. The
improvements are neat, appropriate, and com
fortable, are in good repair, and sufficient to ac
commodate 200 persons, consisting of a
LARGE HOTEL,
and a row of cotiages
CONTAINING THIRTY-SIX ROOMS.
The mineral properties of the water are diu
retic, aperient, and general alternative. This
spring has been visited for the last lifty years by
persons afflicted with dyspepsia, dtarrncea, nu
ralgia, diseases of the bladder anil kidneys, and
female diseases, who have experienced great re
lief from the use of the water, and in many in
stances have been entirely cured. This Spring
iB still a place of considerable resort, having had
200 visitors the present summer 1.1871); and were
It now in the hands of au enterprising proprie
tor, would he one of the most valuable pieces of
property in Virginia, and is one of the best in
vestments capitalists can make. Dr. Moorman,
a very sciciutilic physician, who is entirely fa
miliar" with all of the mlneial springs in Western
Virginia, in his work on Virginia Springs, saye :
" Dogger's Springs are very valuable mineral
waters, and will compare favorably with our
first-class mineral springs." In addition to the
valuable properties of the water, a large portion
of the land altached to the Springs property, is
very valuable for agricultural purposes, pro
ducing corn, wheat, and tobacco well, and is vsell
timbered. Anyperson aesiringto makeaprofitu
ble investment, cannot do better than invest in
