 THE INDIAN MASSACRE AT FORT RosE-. lL0Je Lmigrants lNossacreel. By the last arrival from Oregon we had full reports of the horrible butch- cry of a train of immigrants near Fort Rose. Sixteen bodies were found and buried, and three children were carried off by the Indians Mr. R. R. Thompson, United States Indian agent, writes from the Grande Ronde September 6, that the report of the murder by the Indians of three men belonging to another train is fully confirmed.
 It occurred on the 18th of August. about ninety-five miles east of Fort Rose, on the Jef- ters road The train consisted of five wagons. under command of Nose Kirkland, from Lou lslana. They were metby eleven Indians, who accosted them in the most friendly manner by shaking hands. Three men who were in the rear ot the wagons, after speaking with the h. dIans, turned to go and were fired at. One was killed and another wounded. The wounded man has since died. Their names were George Lake and Walter G. Perry
 They were from Iowa, and both left families who are now on their way to Washington Ter ntory. The whites fired and killed two In- dlans. The Indians now retired to . distance still continuing their fire. At a distance of three hundred yards, they wounded young man from Illinois by the name of E. B. Can trel, who died from his wounds several days afterwards The whites in their fright gave up their horses, five ln number, upon which the Indians retired.
 Another correspondent, writing from Fort Boise says:
 From what can learn there is determina- tion on the part of theS makes to kill and rol all who may fall into their power. They say the Americans have been continually telling them that unless they cease their depredations an army would come and destroy them, but no such thing has been done, and that the Ameri- cans are afraid of them, and say that if we want to fight them come on.
 The immigration is supposed to be as far as Fort Boise, except five wagons that were tc come on the Jeffers road
 Another correspondent tremonstrated with the Hudson's Bay authorities at Fort Boise agains selling any more ammunition and guns to the Indians, when they showed evident signs o hostility to immigrants. The reply of Mir Ogden the chief factor, was, that 1t consituat- ed part of their regular business: that he had authority to sell from the governor of the com: pany, and that he should continue to do so till he had orders to stop from the governor at Vancouver" At this reply our men very indignant
 The first party who carried tidings of the news of the massacre to Fort Boise could get no assistance to recover the captlves from the Indians They told of the massacre, and urged that no more ammunition should be sold tC the Indians. The reply was, we have orders to sell, and we shall continue to do so until we are forbidden by the governor of Vancouver' The President and the Governor of Utah.

 Washington, Snadag Nov. 12, 1854.
 The President still suspends the appointment of successor to Brigham Young. There is undoubtedly good reason for this. I hazard little in saying that the President has determn- ed to make the issue with the Mormons, tc see at once whether they intend to maintain the attitude of defiance to the federal authority which their present Governor and spiritual leader has assumed for them Young certainly will not be reappointed, and ought not to be If his successor is to have a struggle with the people of Utah, it is better that he should gc out armed with all the moral power of the gov ernment possible; and ts this end probably, he will not be appointed until the Senate IS 1T session to confirm the nomination at once. A rare combination of wisdom, firmness and cour age will be indispensable to the successful nomi nee for this important station. 5.
