The Late Indian Murders the Plains.
In connection with the recent news of the at
tack on the United States mail train, near Fort
Laramie, by the Indians, the Hartford Times of
the It'll inst, has the following We arc inform
cd by Mr.. Henry p. Allen, of this city-a gentle
man who has twice Travelled the overland route
t, CALIFORNIA;, and is we'll acquainted with the In
dams along tn, line-that he was in the vicinity
of Fort Laramie less than FIVE weeks ago, and
that it was then understood that the Indians
would not allow the United States ills to pass
there again this winter. The cause of the diff
Guilty was this: Last summer, two boys of Salt
Lake City grossly imposed upon two intoxicated
Indians. Shortly after these boys were found
murdered, and the act was traced to the two In
dams. They were tried and sentenced to be hung.
The chiefs Of their tribe came in and begged that
the authorities would shoot or burn thcm-thcy
look upon hanging with the utmost horror, beicv-
ing that the spirit of person who is thus stran-
gled to death goes into the next world in foul
manner, and that it assumes a beastly form.
The chiefs were willing that the guilty Indi-
ans should be punished by the penalty of death,
but demanded that their souls should be sent into
eternity by some other means than strangulation
by rope. The law, however, was imperative !;
they must be hung, and were hung, though the
ropes broke twice before life became extinct
The chiefs then said that if their Great Father
pass through their country, and his braves should
fall under the tomahawk and arrows of the Indi-
an warriors.
Mr.. Allen says Mr.. Kincaid was ono of the
principal merchants of Salt1.ake City. He gives
singular account of Jamison. Mr.. j. once had
difficulty with his father-it-law, in which jam
ison's left arm was shot and shattered so that he
lost it entirely. Jamison subsequently practiced
with light carbine, and in another encounter shot
and shattered the left arm Of so as
also to ruin it entirely. Jamison has now fallen
by the hands of the Indians Mr.. Allen, who is
a very intelligent gentleman and close observer,
thinks, from what he has recently seen of these
Indians, that our government will have much
trouble with them, and that it is not safe for an
ordinary party of whites To- pass through their

appears plausible from the verse which follows
sand surely your blood Of your lives will re-
quire at the hand of every beast will require
it,' &C. You therefore narrow the passage down
to this, ssthat ,choso or rhatsoerer sheddeth
human blood, its blood will be she'd" But Mr..
Editor, the clause, &c and surely your blood &C., -
does not tollow, as you say it does, the precept,
" Whoso sheddeth, &C., but precedes it, and .ciM
the unmisfakeable requirement betreen,- At the
hand of every mans brother will require the life
of man." How then, according to any just rule
of Interpretation, can the idea of beast enter
into the construction of the precept2
But you say some eminent writers contend that
the rendering should be &c Whatsoever sbeddeth,"
instead of ssWhosoever sheddeth,' &c. In your re-
ply will thank you to give the names of these
eminent writers, SO that your readers may judge
of their eminencc, and if possible consult them
When quote any authority, intend always to
state the source, and your readers no doubt will
expect youto do the same. The only writer know
of who has given the rendering referred to, is Mr..
O'Sullivan, the author of Report upon this sub
ject to the New York Legislature; and he pro-
fesses to have obtained it from ssthat profound
and learned critic Michaelis Of Gottingen," as he
terms him. Bot alas the learned critic gives no
such rendering. His rendering and his reasons
therefore, are as follows &c Whatsoever crea-
fure aheddeth human blood, be It man or beast, by
man shall Is blood IN like manner be dhed, Gen.

command of God, why not make the sayings of
Christ equally as binding-"H He who takcth the
sword shall perish by the sword.'' In the bell eff
of the Chuch was not Christ God? He it was
then who gave utterance to both Of these sayings.
What right has our correspondent or any one else
to say that the first is a command and the second
is not? Is it not stated in both instances that
certain results shall follow? . ....-
In the twentieth chapter of Exodus, We read
"And God spake all these words, saying.
2. am the Lord thy God which has brought
thee out of the land of Egypt out of the House of
bondage" Then follow the commandments, and
God continues speaking and says sc He that smi-
teth his father or MOTHER" or "he that curseth
his father mother shall surely be put to DEATH
And he that stealeth man and selleth him, or If
he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to
death"
Now then, if ssWhoso sheddeth mans blood, by
God then these are commands Of God, and it is
perfectly ridiculous for the advocates of Capital
Punishment to set aside these passages, and ac-
cept only the isolated one which justi6es the in-
human act of legalized murder. The information
received purports to come from God through Mo-
SEES. They are tacts," as our correspondent says,
and he also dds" we are bound to take them
Just as they are" II be is sincere in what be ut
tiers, he must advocate the hanging Of all who
curse their fathers and mothers-of all who smi-
teth their fathers and mothers, and OF all slave
