Expresses arrived at the DaIlcs on Saturday iastone
from Col Wright and one from Col. Shaw, of the
volunteers at Stcilacoom, Itappcars that Col. Shaw
had sent an express through Na-chez Pass to Col
Wright, and when within ten miles Of his camp they
were met by about thirty Indians and were forced to
leave their horses, and run to the brush. They al.
t"lWards joined the regular express from Col Wright
camp, III charge Of a. j. Price, and arrived at the
Dhies, as before stated on Saturday last They re-
port the streams much swollen, and that the snow
through Nachez Pass, is from eight to ten feet deep
-lnd that there is a wcll-bcaten trail through.
The regulars, under Col. Wright, were encamped
on N'-chez river The main body Of the Indians
have moved their camp up the river and but few OF
them remained near Col. Wrights camp.

Last Sunday some pack trains left the Dallcs for
Col. Wright's camp, taking sixty days supplies for
the troops; and on the same day another train re-
turned from Col. Wright's camp to the Dalles
Rumors are rifle that the indians intend TO get in
the rear of Col Wright, and cut off his colnnuuica
ton with the Dalles, and then come in and take that
point. The people at the Dalles are making due ar
engagements Tor defence, in case of an attack.
There are hostile Indians in the vicinity of the
mouth OF Wind river, near Wind mountains on the
Columbia river, between the Dales and Cascades
The Indians had shot Stock while the settlers were
taking their stock from boat. Moccasin tracks
as well as fresh horse tracks, were discovered near by

PITCH AND TOss.-A lroll story is related of an
honest farmer, who attempting to drive home hull,
got suddenly hosted over the fence. Recovering
himself, he saw the animal on the other side Of the
rails saving the air with his head and neck and paw
ing the ground. The good old man looked steadily
at him for moment, and then shaking his fist at
him, exclaimed:
i" Darn your apologies you needn't stand there,

Many erroneous notions prevail respecting the use
and properties OF the warm bath. TO MANY persons
the idea OF submerging in warm water on Il summer
day would appear prcposterous but if it be consid-
cred from the proper medical standard point, it will
be found that the warm bath may he taken with equal
or perhaps greater benefit in the summer than in the
winter. During hot weather the secretions in the
skin are much increased nquantty and, consequent
y, greater necessity exists that it should DC kent
perfectly free from instructions. Another preva ling
error is, that the warm bath tends to relax and enc
vate the body but experience has proved the falacy
OF the opinion, and many physicians have prescribed
its use to patients lahoring under debility from dis,
ease, none Of whom experience such Effects but have
all felt invgnrated and mostly restored to health and
strength. These are facts to be remembered

Slavery and Polygamy--.A Good Time
Coming I'm Utah.


We have just received the following pro-
clamation, issued by tho<Saints of great Salt
Lake to the Faithful. 1t promises them a
good time coming ''when seven women shall
lay hold Of one man." if Buchanan is elected,
and he is.
TO THE LATTER DAY SAINTS.
The Elders and Rulers Of the Church of Jesus
Christ Of Latter Day Saints to the Saints in
the United States # america:
Dear Brethren, Faithful Followers of the Lord and Re-
| cpients Of His Grace
| We call upon you to stand firm to the
principles of our religion in the coming con-
test for President of the country. Our duty
is plain. There are two principal parties in
the country-one is for us and the other
against us.
The Democratic Convention i'll Cincinnati,
which nominated James Buchanan for Presi-
dent, passed tho following resolution:
Resolrsd, That Congress has no power
under the Constitution to interfere with or
control the domestic institutions of the sew
eral States, and that all such States are the
sole and proper judges of everything apper-
tanning to their own affairs not prohibited by
the Constitution
This is a principle of the Democratic party
which they have extended to the Territories
as well as States, and the doctrine of Squat
ter Sovereignty applies to us in Deseret as
i. we'll as to the settlers in Kansas and Ne
braska.
The Democratic party is the instrument
in Gods hand, by which is to be effected
our recognition as a sovereign State, with
the domestic institutions of slavery and
polygamy, as established by the patriarchs
and prophets of old, under divine authority
and renewed to the saints of latter days
through Gods chosen rulers and prophets.
In the Republican Convention assembled
at Philadelphia, which nominated John G
Fremont for President, it was
"Resolced, That the Constitution confers
upon Congress sovereign power over the
Territories of the United States for theil
government. and that in the exercise of this
power, it is both the right and imperative
duty of Congress to prohibit in the Terrific
ries those tw.n relicts of barbarism, poly
yamy and slavery"
! This is blx w aimed directly at our rights
as citizens of one of the Territories, at ou
sacred institutions and our holy religion.
Saints of latter days, to whom God re
veals his will through his chosen prophets
stand steadfast in your faith; for the time ii
at hand which was foretold by the prophet O
old, and recorded in the Ancient Scriptures
" And in that day shall seven women la,
hold of one man and they will say, let u
eat of our own bread and wear of our owl
apparel: only let us be called thy name, t.
take eway our reproach.'"
Given by order Of the President ant
Rulers, at Great Salt Lake, on the 18th da,
of August, 1856.

Proper Depth to PlOvx.

The Depth of Flowing is another question
which must depend on many circumstances.
pillow all my own land from eight to twelve
inches deep. Much of it is sandy, and ma
nure heavily. The deeper sand is plowcd
the better it will stand the drouth, because
the roots Will strike deeper, and on light
soils; however much the manure may be diff
fused, the roots OF the plant are sure to pur7
sue and find it. On my heavy clay soil, in
turning over the sod after haying-say once
sn half dozen years-tO eXterminate the bad
grasses and briars, which spring up after a
few years, | am suspicious that have usu-
ally plowed deeper than is profitable. In my
next experiment, for which l am preparing a
large compost heap Of night soil and swamp
mud, propose to run the plow to the depth
OF about eight inches, apply the compost
harrow it well, and SOW my seed in August
or early in September. On such lanl. which
has strong affinity for ammonia, there will
be little loss by evaporation, and the young
grass roots will find their food at hand for
start. In afte: life much of the nourishment
IS derived from the air and water, and the
Fiearier portions of the manure they will
have te seize upon, before it washes below
their reach. For several years I have used
the sod AMI subsol plow, and run it a foot
deep for my hoed crops; but upon stiff
clay. which has been plowed but five or six
inches Def re, should deem such an opera
ton dangerous. A dee soil is desirable
everywhere, but it must be deepened eradu-
ally, unless bountifully MANFRED. In our
rocky soil, it is often impossible to pillow
more than eight inches, though l believe it
is well established that a granite sub-soil
taken even from the bottom of well, will
become fertile merely by exposure to the
air, so that on such soils we have little dan
ger TO apprehend from deep cultivation
