A PRAmrE INcrDENr-At place call
cd Yellow Greek, about half way between
Salt Lake and the junction of the Oregon
and California roads, VIC were the unwil-
ling witnesses to an Indian massacre. On
the evening previous we had crossed the
creek, and encamped about a half a mile
beyond. Near the creek, some Snake In
dians, thirteen in all, had erected their wig
vans. Before dark had cndeavoured
but in vain, TO trade with the chief for

all the while some one of the party kept
exhibiting the good qualities and speed of
the different ANIMALS. The young squaws

whip from the ground under full speed;

She rode like the men, yet
She was an Indian beauty too, and some

but, alasl she was a cold corpse ere the
morning sun shone upon the valley in which
she had been so active and happy. Just
as the day was breaking, we heard the
ominous war-whoop, and Immediately fol-
lowed the sharp crack Of the rifle. We
aroused ourselves from our slumbcrs and
FASTENED toward the scene of action. A
horrid sight met our view. There lay lie
dead forms OF those who had lived and
breathed the evening before; nearly all had
two or three bullets in their bodies.
Our heroine of the night previous had
not escaped. She lay outside her wigwam.

paid to her jet black locks; the scalping
knife had passed round them, and they now
doubtless grace the girdle of some grace

the ground, nine of whom had been scalp

capped the knife; one squaw had escaped
by flight. The perpetrators of this horrid

we saw near the camp of an cmigrating

ted, that fair trial has been had upou
the subject, because in some few instan-
ces females have had all the mental culti-
vatiOn which could be given to ths other
sex, and yet have not proved themselves
prodlgies. But little reflection will rem
der it apparent that fair trial, in the
present state of things is ont Of the ques.
ton. While it is required on the part of
young man, that he should have all the
stimulus of prospective activity and fu-
ture professional advancement, to ensure
the full deyclopement Of his powers of
mind, how can the Same dcvelopement be
expected in the other sex, without such
stimulus Yet such seems to have been
the justice awarded TO woman in Judging
OF her capabilities, as to require a kind of
spontaneity, III respect to her mental de-
velopements.
There has ever appeared to me an over
sight here. 1t seems TO inc that little
careful reflection would show; thst should
Colleges by scores, be founded for her
benefit, Professors Of the highest grade of
attainment and skill be procured for her.
and all the lore of ancient and modern
times be spread out before her and then
should she with the present prospect of
seclusion before her, in respect to her fu
ture pursuits, show herself equal to the
other sex in mental vigor, she would prove
herself their superior.
Now while | consider that the thorough
cultivation Of her whole powers is the on
ly thing that is ever to raise her to be
what she should be; Independent and self
relying; and while | find the constantly
recurring obstacle to the accomplishment
Of this, to be want of motive, sufficient
for bringing into play the energies of her
nature, am led to enquire, what is to be
done Shall we open to her the Medical
school, the profession Of Law and the Sen
atorial Chamber l answer why not p
Is it conclusive and satisfactory reason

with the genius tf our age to assume.
without examination, that all the usages
and customs Of society arc founded in the
nature of things. and therefore cannot be
improved Who that can look back thir-
thirty years needs any other answer to
this question: And who that looks back
historically to what the condition of wo-
man was in former ages, will not admit
that the watch-word in respect to her, has
been continually progress, progress -
And IS any one prepared to say that there
is no more Improvement for her condition2
That her watch-word has become obsolete
and there is for her, nothing more to be
attempted l.. g.
