MASSACRE OF EaIIGRANTS.

Over One Hundred Persons KlHsd.--A let
ter from j. 9. Ward to the Los Angeles Star
dated San Bernardihe, Got. 4, 1857, state
that an entire train of cnigrsRts from Missouri
and Arkansas, bound to Cal.fefnia by way OF
Great Salt Lake, had been nassacred by lndl ms
NJ the Mountan Meadows, which are Oh or
near the rim of the Great Basin, and some dis
tance south Of the most southern Mormon
settlements. The massacre took place about
/ the 10th or llth of september, Mr.. Ward
says he first obtlinei his information from the
Indians. The account, no doubt much ex-
aggerated, 1t not altogether u1trne, is rs follows
The cohipany consisted Of one hundred and
thirty or Que hundred and thirty Eve nlen.
women and children, and including some forty
or forty-hye capable OF bearfhg arms, They
were in possession Of quite an anoant Of stock,
consisting oi horses, mules aud oxen. TIE
cucampHIent was attacked about daylight in
the morning. 50 says the indians, by the conf
hlnco forces OF allthe various tribes Immediately
IN the section of the country Il appears that
the majority of theul we're slain at the f:st onset
made by the Iudiaus.
The remaining force formed themselves into
the best position li,cii circumstances would
allow; but bsfore they could make the necessary
arrangements for protecting themselves from
the arrows, there were but few left WHO were
able to bear arms.
After having corrallel their wasohs, and
dug ditch for fheir protection, they con
unued 10 fire upou the Indians for Que or two
days, but the Indians had so seeretei themselves
that, according to their owa statement, there
was not one of them killed, and bat few wound
Ell. They tthe emigraats) thea sent a filg OF
trncc, borne by iItle girl, and then gave
themselves up to the mercy of the savages, who
immediately rushed in and slaughtered all OF
tnen, with the exception Of fifteen infant chill
drcn, that have since been purchased, with
some difficulty, by the Mormon interpreters.
The causes which led to the massacre are
reported to be thpt, when the train calDPed at
au Indian village near Fillmore City, the
enligrauts not only cheated the natives badly
in trading with them, but they put strychuine
in dead OK for the purpose of poisoning The
lndilEs, and also put poison in the water which
stands IN pools. This oecasoned several
deaths among the lndilus, within few days
after tie departure Of tue train whereunou the
Indians rallied, selected place OF attack, and
took terrible vengeance. Mr.. w. says he
obtained u statement of the causes Of the
massacre from Elders Matthews and Hyde,
who were III Great Salt Lake City at the time
this train was there recruiting their it-out, aud
were on their way to San Bernardine when the
murders were Committed, but several DAYS

The Bs,lrdell Case.

The New York Times remarks as follows:
I Probably the most important of Whist was re-
ceived from the witnesses for 1.-THE prosecution,
was that elected on the cross examination of DR..
Uhi. The Doctors impression appears to be
that the wounds were inaicted by tall person,
having considerable amount of anatomical
knowledge. The situations in which, blood was
found-in the doctors room, on the stairway
wall, on the hall floor, on the hall basement door,
on the hinge side of the basement front door, and
again on the door Of the main entrance, appear
ed to indicate that the person who committed the
deed had passed out of the room, down the steps
to the main floor, then turned and passed down
into the basement door, and failing, had return
ed and passed oat of the main door into the street,
DR.. Carnochan, called for the defence, agreed
with Dr.. Uni in all that persained to the manner
in which the deed was done. His theory Was the
same. .,5 ..,., .ro., go. .s.ss,
D., There are two or three points in connection
with this affair which deserve attention.
! It's not known to the public where Doctor
Burdell was from 5 o'clock that afternoon till he
returned to his room at night. .aga-
2 It's reasonably certain that he was not
alone that he was in company with other per-
sons somewhere, engaged in conversation, play
or other occupation Of some kind and that the
parties who were with him intentionally conceal
the knowledge Of that fact, and Of his wherea-
bouts from the public and from the oticers of
Justice. -
!, 3 And it is clear that their motive for 90 do
ing must be guilty motive : that they must have
some strong reason involving their own charsc.
ters or safety, for hiding from the public . fact
Of such general interest and one 90 profoundly
important to the ends Of Justice. -,
OF course these suggestions can be Of no SER
vice in tracing the crime, bqt they are not with.
out significance in connection with the pending
trial.
