Mormon and Indian Alliance.

The Sacrlmento age ol oclooeI ioSI'
saws: Yesterday we had an interview
with a gentleman from Carson Valley,
who, from inlemacy with Mormon tamI-
lies, has some knowledge of their future
designs and plans of operation. II his
conclusions be correct, not only the set
tiers east Of the mountains, but even peo-
ple of this State will have reason 10 dep
Iecae the evaporation of those American
Bedouins. He says that the Mormons OF
Carson Valley and San Bernardno have
sold their cattle and property for nearly
nothing, and, at the bidding of their chief,
have repaired to Salt Lake, with the Sc
cret design of re.organizing' armlng'
equipping, returning, numbering and plum
dering their Gentle enemies.
They declare that, for every Saint slain
! by United States troops, ten Gentle wo-
men shall make atonemnI; that they will
first exterminate the troops from the east;
then come west, and in predatory bands,
allied with Indians, they will ravish the
border, rob, plumber and murder, until
they shall have replenished the Lord 5
treasury; and revenge insults put upon his
chosen people.
or their ability 10 execute this threat
we have little doubt. AT the order OF
their leader and prophet, they can muster
$4,000 men, armed with the most effective
instruments of destruction. They have
many thousands Of the finest horses train
ed to camp. service; they have lound.y
where cannon and shells are cast, d pow
der mill and a factory, where revolving
rifles and pistols are manufactured, equal
10 those made at Hartford. They have
ever, munilon Of war and necessary
provision and means OF transportation,
within themselves, and even women and
children are instructed in the use of arms.
Add to this their geographical position.
10 reach Salt Lake, from the east, II Is
necessary TO pass through a canon OF
twenty-five miles. under hills so steep
and rocky that dozen men could hun
down an avalanche Of stones on an ap'
preaching caravan; and even in the even,
of several thousand troops reaching the

They have, it is said, 10000 Indian al
lies, " HON they are ready 10 furnish with
arms and horses on an emergency. These
Indians are partially instructed in the Nor
mon reigion-enough TO make them su-
perslilious in regard 10 the Coo of supe'
rlor race, yet modifying none OF their ie-
rocity. With allies like these, and fight
ing for their homes, and, according TO The
belief of the ignorant, under direct su-
pervisiun of the God Of Battles, and from
the ramparts with which nature has sur
rounded them, 1t is easy 10 conceive what
would be the fate of a few thousand
troops, who travelled thousand miles 10

Horrible Massacre of Emigrants.


Ousr 100 Persons HRsd.--A letter
from J. G.. Ward to the Los Angeles Star.
dated San Bernardino, October 4ih, 1857,
states that an entire train oil emigIanIs
from Missouri and Arkansas bound 10
California by way of Great Salt Lake had
been masSacred by Indians at the Noun
tain Meadows, which arc on or near The
rim Of the Great Basin, and some distance
south OF the mos, southern Mormon settle
ments. The massacre took place about
the | 9th or llh of September. MIR. Ward
says he first obtained his information from
the Indians. The account is as follows
The company consisted of one hund-
dred and thirty or one hundred anG thirty
five men. women and children, and lnciu-'
ded some forty or forty-6ve capable OF
bearing arms. They were in possession
of quite an amount Of stock, consisting OF
horses mules and oxen. The encamp-
ment was attacked about daylight in the
morning. so say the Indians, by the com
bined forces Of all the various tribes im-
media,elv in the section of the country.
1t spperrs lha, the majority OF them were
slain at the first onset made by the lndI-
ans.
The remaining force formed themselves
into tie best position their circumstances
would allow; but before they cuu!d mako
the necessary arrangements for protecting
themselves from the arrows, there were
bu, few lef who were able 10 bear arms.
After having corralled their wagons, and
dug ditch for their protection, they con-
inued to ire upon the Indians for ore or
two davs; but the Indians had so sccfeied
themselves that, according 10 their own
statement, there was not one of them Kill
led.a and but few wounded. They the emi.
grants then senta flag Of truce, borne by
hulc girl, and gave themselves up 10 !he
mercy of the ssvages, who Immediately
rushed in and slaughtered all Of them.wiIh
the exception Of fifteen infant children.
that has since been purchased with some
difficulty by the Mormon interpreters.
The causes which led 10 massacre are
reported 10 bc that, when the train camp
ed al an Indian village near Fillmore city,
the emgrants no, only cheated the ma
tives badly in trading with them, but they
put stry chime in dead OK for the pur-
pose of poisoning the lndians.and also pat
poison in the water vi hich stands in pools.
This occasioned several deaths among the
Indians, within few days after the de-
parlure of ihe train; whercupon the lndI-
ans rallied, selected place OF attack, aud
look terrible vengeance. Mr.. W. says
he obtained the statement Of the causes
Of tie massacre from Elders Matthews
and Hyde, who were in Great Salt Lake
city at the time This train was there re-
cruiling their f out, and were OF their
way TO San Bernardine when The murders
were committed but several days journey
in The rear OF the emigrsnls.

sent 10 inquire into and ascertain the
truth, as is customary in such cases.
We know these aspersions to be false;
bu, that avails us nothing. We are con-
demned unheard and forced to an issue
with an armed mercenary mob which has
been sent against us at the instigatlon OF
anonymous letter writers, ashamed TO Ia.
ther the base ,slanderous falsehoods which
they have given to the pubic-of corrupt
officials. who have brought false accusa-
tons against us 10 screen themselves in
their own lnlamy, and Of hirelng priests
and howling editors, who prostitute the
truth for filthy lucre's sake.
The issue which has thus been forced
upon us compels us TO resort TO the great
first law of self preservation, and stand in
our own defence-a Fight guaranteed un-
to US by the genius of the institutions OF
our country, and upon which the govern
ment is based. Our duty TO ourselves, TO
our families, requires us not 10 tamely
submit to be driven and slain without an
attempt to reserve ourselves. Our duty
10 our country our holy religion, our God
to freedom and liberty requires that we
should not quietly stand still and see those
leuers forging around us which are cal
cuIaled 10 enslave and bring us in suhjec-
ton to an unlawful military despotism

for the Territory of Utah, in The name OF
the people of the United States, in the

THE MOTHERS FIRST GRIEF.
She sits beside the cradle,

She sits beside the cradle,
And the tears are streaming fast
For she sees the present only
While she thinks of all the past
Of the days so full Of gladness,
When her first born's answering kiss
Thrilled her soul with such rapture
That il knew no other bliss,
o those happy, happy moments,
They but deepen her despair
For she bends above the cradle,
And her baby is not there.
There are words Of comfort spoken,
And then leaden clouds of grief
Wear the smiiing bow of promise,
And she feels sad relief ;
But ber waveIing thot's will wander,
Till they settle on the scene
OF the dark and silent chamber.
And of all that might have been ;
For little vacant garment,
Or a shining trees of hair,
Tells her heart in tones Of anguish
That her baby is not there.
She sits beside the cradle
But her tears no longer flow
For she sees a blessed vision
And forgers all earthly woe.
Sanity eyes look down upon her,
And the voice that hush'd the sea
Stills her spirit with whisper
"Sufl'er them TO come TO me"
And while her soul is lifted
On the soaring wings of prayer,
Heavens crystal gates swing inward,
And she sees her baby there.

TIE DRUSKARD's WIFE!

Go, feel what have felt,
Go, bear what have borne,
Sink meath The blows loved one dealt,
And the cold worlds proud soon;
Then suffer on, from year to year,
Thy so!e relief the scorching tear
Go knecl as have knelt,
Implore, beseech and pray
Strive lhe besotted heart to melt,
Tie downward course to stay
BE dashed, with bitter curse, aside,
Your prayers unheard, your tears defed
Go, weep as have wept,
Ger loved husbands fall
See every promised blessing swept,
Youths sweetness turned to gall
Life's fading flowers strewed the way,
That brought me up 10 woman's day.
Go, see what have seen -
Behold the strong man bow,
Hear him his Makers name blaspheme,
See his cold, livd brow;
Go, catch his withered glance and see
There miYrored, his souls misery.
Go this deep pain abide.
With nought thy heart 10 cheer:
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wipe from thy cheek, that bitter tear.
Marx thy own form, and withered brow
The gray that streaks thy dark hair now,
The fading frame, and trembling limb,
And trace the ruin back TO him,
Who plighted faith in early youth,--
Promised eternal love and truth ;
Bat who--FnRsw oRN--hath yielded up
IHat promise, TO The cursed cup!
And down through love and light,
And all that made thy prospects bright,
Hath chained thee here mid walt ana

Go see, and feel, and hear, and know.
All my nay soul hath felt and known;
Then look upon the wine cups glow,
See where my every JOY hath flown.
And tell me if frail man can try
The poison, when It's DRINK AND DIE !
Tell me hate the bowl
Hate is feeble word -

With strong disgust is stirred.

Plain Truth.

We like plain speaking, fit is not un
couth and vulgar in lis tone. Hence we
are pleased with the following extract frou
one of our exchange papers. 1t contains
truth enough TO fill volume
FEMALE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Every
school for young ladies rejoices in it:
teacher OF drawing, painting, &C., as lit
teacher of music; and under the hands o
these two individuals, the whole school
as general thing, is desired to pass by
teacher and parents. French is studied as
an accomplishment. Dancing in some
schools, is taught as an accomplishment
The result usually is, that when young
lady is finished of, she can play six tunes
on the piano, has executed three pieces
Of drawing or painting, xhich papa buys
frames for, and hangs up in the parlor foI
exhibition TO visitors, has "done' little
portfolio in water colors, in which the
teachers hand is frequently visible, has
learned.to dance, and has achieved free
run Of nineteen French phrases which
she could not pronounce correctly to save
her life. SO far there is nothing bot show.
Principles have not been comprehended
and she has in her hands nothing, not
even the instruments which she and her
friends imagine she possesses.
We have seen such finished off young
women by hundreds. They are picked
up by the hundreds by infatuated young
men, and made into wives and house-keep-
ers. Our readers call upon such wives
every lar day. They will see the school
girls efforts in drawing lransplanted from
The old home where first placed, 10 bloom

evidence that she was once accomplish

her 10 play. She sits down reluctantly,
and gives you one of the immortal SIX
that She made you sick Of when she first
returned from school. She has not learn

sigh, tina, she has not played any since
she was married. She cannot even play
piece OF simple sacred music at sight, TO
accommodate company ofsinging friends
who happen in upon Sabbath evening.
You toss her a French ben mot, and she
stares; or you ask TO render French quo

You meet her at an assembly, and she
