Further Particulars of the Massacre near
Fort Laramie.

By private letters which have been re-
ceived in the city we are placed in possession
of further particulars of the late terrible
massacre of the mail party near Fort Lara
mie.
The U. S. mail it seems had left the Fort
and prodeeded few miles this side without
molestatiOn. The party consisted Of the
mail agent, Mr.. Jameson and James Wheeler
and Thomas Hackett and one passenger, Mr.
Kinkead, of Salt Lake. They had rea ched
small creek which flows into the Platte,
and passing through the bed had assembled
the other side, when, just as they gained the
summit. they were fired upon by numerous
party of Indians who were lying concealed
in the grass. At the first fire every one in
the mail wagon was either killed or badly
wounded, with the exception of Mr. Kin
kead He, so soon as he saw the result,
jumped out of the wagon and seizing upon
one Of the mules, mounted it, and attempted
to disengage it from the traces While do
ing so several arrows were shot into his body
which he pulled out as fast as they pierced
him, and was about getting clear when
pistol ball struck him on the side of the
neck, and disabled him.
An Indian then ran up and felled him to
the gronnd with the butt Of a northwest
gun, and he became insensible After few
moments, however, consciousness returned
to him, and raising himself on his elbow, he
saw that the Indians were engaged in robbing
the mail wagon. An Indian who saw him
at this moment, beckoned to him to mount
and to clear out, but he was too enfeebed 20
stir, and sank back again PROSTATE from the
loss of blood. The Indians pillaged every
thing in the wagon, amongst which was
box OF coin, ($l0,000,) which Mr.. Kinkead
had in his possession. They after that ripped
open the mail bags with their knives, scat
tering the mai and letters, and then cutting
the traces of the mules, trailed off across the
Platte. Mr. Kinkead lay in a very critical
condition for some time, until he was SO
fortunate to be discovered by a soldier from
the fort, who was out wolf hunting and who
was attracted thither by seeing those ami
mails moving towards the spot. Their un-
erring scent told them where the dead bodies
lay, and they no doubt were preparing for
their feast The soldier at once made the
best of his way to the fort, and soon brought
assistance when Mr.. K was conveyed
thither and cared for. The bodies of those
who were killed were inferred on the spot.
