From the St. Louis News.
Mormon Pratt.

About two months ago, we publish.
ed an account Of the kidnapping OF
several children by the Mormons at
New Orleans. The father was absent
at the time, in California, and the
mother, who had been deluded by the
Saints, lent herself to the infamous
scheme by. which her own children
were to be ruined. The kidnappers
started with the children from New
Orleans to 60 thro' Texas, Arkansas
and the Indian Nation to the Salt Lake
trail, but were fortunately intercepted
by the father, who having heard of the
affair, had returned, and started in
pursuit of them. The following letter
is from hi n to his friends in this city,
and gives some Of the particulars of
the arrest:
