news Of a strange and stirring character

ry Of the news, as CLEANED from Mr.. ] H
Jones and Capt Homer, of ST. Joseph, Mo-,
and MIR. Brewer, Of Council Bluff City. They
report all the mountain Indians in a starving
condition, and eating their horses. The
Utah chief, Walker, was preparing TO give
the Mormons battle, and as he has enlisted
in his cause the Camanches and Apaches, a
bloody struggle may be expected. He has
sworn war Of determination, and woe belide
the Mormons who fall into his hands.
The Mormons endeayored to make a
treaty with him, but his demands were con-
sidered inioleran, and they would not comply
with them He required that they should
build him house as large as Gov. Young's,
on prominence near the city, pay him a
large sum of money, and furnish him with
as many wives as their veritable Governor
has So far as the house and money are
concerned the Mormons were willing to
comply, but furnishing the wives was another
matter, and here the negotiations ceased.

THE F1RsT FRUIT OF WAR.-A letter from
the Rev. VIM. @. Shaufler, of Constantine
pie, draws melancholy picture of the distress
which the Eastern war has occasioned among
the poorer classes of Constantinople. He says
that there is no commerce, no business going
on, but little money to be seen, and thousands
of human beings are dying of hunger, thirst,
nakedness and disease. Rats and mice are
eaten by many to allay the cravings of hun
ger, and people who but few months since
were comparatively rich in worldly goods, now
beg for bread. Mr.. Shauffler states that al
though he has resided twenty years in Con-
stantinople, through all the horrors of war,
plague, famine and fire, he never saw such
distress as now exists. It is hoped that the
present state Of things will prove but temper
airy. The Journal Of Commerce says to those
who are disposed to contribute to the relief of
the suffering poor in Constantinople, that all
donations sent to David Hoadley, No. rs
Broad Street, New York, win be applied to
that object.
