DALLEs, Sept. I, 1854.
Mr.. LELAND-Dear Sir: A gentleman
arrived here to-day who has just crossed
the plains, and brings the horrible intelli-
gence that the unfortunate women and
children who were taken prisoners by the
Snake Indians on the goth Of August,
have all been bdrbarOHsly murdered the
poor, helpless, innocent children having
been burned alire.
The circumstances which seem to have
led to this dreadful tragedy, as near as l
can learn, appear to be as follows
It seems that packer and Snake
River Indian had a dispute about the
ownership Of horse which was in the pos
session Of the latter, and he refusing to
give 1t up, the packer drew his pistol
probably with the intention Of merely fright
ening the Indian-whereupon the Indian
Immediately drew his pistol and shot the
packer dead. Then commenced the dread
ful massacre, the details Of which have
been already published, and to which l
have nothing to add excepting there were
ten men killed instead of eight, and some
children In the scuifle 8 women taken
prisoners one Of whom was Miss White,
the unfortunate creature being murdered
in manner too horrible to relate.
The immigrants who arrive here accuse,
(here portion of the manuscript Of our
correspondent was torn of the next
page continues thus convenient points
along the immigrant, road, or at least
there might have been a company of Dra-
goOns sent ont during the immigrant season
toprotect the immigrants, the mere pres
ence of which would have prevented this
massacre, and they might retire to Fort
Dales for winter quarters.
At present nothing less than war Of
exterminationis is spoken of here, as it seems
there is no trusting the Snake River In
dams, yet we ought not to come to rash
determinations until we have heard the
whole particulars, as in most difficulties be-
tween the whites and Indians, the former
have frequently been the aggressors and
twont do to fash revolver or draw a
bowie knife in an Indian country the same
as smany rowdies do in our peaceable towns,
as the Indians care nothing for braggado-
ciO
The troops and volunteers were at Butter
Creek on the 9th inst, and were Fastening
% to Fort Boise. The artillery company
from Vancouver win leave here in about
three days. They would have left ere this,
but that they were delayed for the want oi
wagons. Every exertion is being made to
Dispatch them.

Religious Intelligence.

From the 33d annual report of the Vt. Edu
cation Society, Auxiliary to the American

ceived from "a places. Many of the most
able churches having wholly neglected the
cause. Ten benefciaries have been aided by
the Society, in Middlebury College, and :
in Vermont University. During the last year
the present Society at Boston received s2l, ;.
366, 10Y and aided 297 benefciaries.
The various Conventions and Associations
of clergymen and delegates which have been
held Of late, in the northern States, very gene
rally have condemned in plain terms the
opening the way for Slavery to go into Kan
sas and Nebraska, and have declared the
solemn obligation resting on all lovers of God
and of their fellowmen, to do all in their
power to mitigate the evils Of slavery wher-
ever they can have access to them.
The Methodist Episcopal Convention, South
adopted by a large vote the following resolu.
ton.
RESOLVED. That the Gepera Rule in the Book
OF Discipline, on the buying and selling men,
women, and children. with an intention to enslave
them is understood as referring exclusively to the
slave trade as prohibited by the Constitu ton and
