TwMty nine mangled bodies .,osnd

SaStrinys Of the Volunteers.
Through the attention Of II. Sher-
man 4 Co., we are enabled to lay the
following before our readers. The
worst rumors are confirmed, in regard
TO the horrible outrages perpetrstcd by
the lndions near the Northern line OF
our State. Men, women and children
have been cruelty murdered, and the
attention Of the War department
should be Immediately directed to this
point, and prompt and efficient means
resorted to for preventing the recur-
renee Of such outrages:
ED. JouREAL:-The following ex-
tract of a letter from on House at
Fort Dodge, under date Of the 10th
inst, may be Of interest to your read
ers. ii. SHERMAN IL Co.
"Evorything here is engrossed in
the one great question Of the excursion
to protect the settlers North and West
Of us. Our company has returned.
They went North in a body to the
Minnesota line--tound all the settlers
that had revived the bntcbcry on their
way to this part Of the country in a
very destitute condition. Some ORA
goons from Fort kidgley had reached
the settlement at Springfield, NJ. T.,
the upper settlcnent) two days before
them, aud one day after the settlers
had fight with the lndianss in which
six or eight whites and several Indians
were killed. The Dragons had been
after the Indians two days, but accom-
pllshed nothing. They passed by "or
the other side" Of the butchered set
tiers at Spirit Lake.
Twenty-Five of our men started ovel
to bury the dead at Spirit Lakc-foun
and buried the mangled remains o
twenty nine nen women and children
This company attempted to return-be
came hcwildered on the prairie, and i
IL feared two Of their number have per
ishcd from atigue aud exposure
Several of them were badly frost bit
tent. To day party started to lool
for them. but with little hope Of find
IN. them alive. y
The Indians we are afraid, will he
come enboldened bv their success, a
they have considerable booty; and a
the weather grows miider attack tn
settlers further down on the Dcs Moin
Us and the lew settlers that live on til
Little Sioux, it some force is not sen
into the country toprotcct them. Th
Post at Fort Ridgley is disgrace I
the service, it our men report true ofth
company sent to defend the settler.
We hope some course will be adopte
by the General or State Government
To drive out the entire wanderin
Sioux nation, and keep them with
their own territory. State journal.

remains to be considered. Next to grass
if not even before it this is our most i'm
portant product largely supplying food
for man and beast, and forming. in the
shape of beef, pork and whiskey, the base
of a considerable export. In this section
corn is quite luxuriant, but very late, and
in danger ofdestruction by an early frost.
We need a full month of dry, bright wealth
er, to carry the corn beyond the reach of
danger. AT present, it is green as lceks,
the ears scacely old enough to boil, and
the stalks scarcely dane growing. A frost
as early as the 80 inst. would destroy half
the crop. The earth is saturated will,
water; the days but moderately warm,
though clear and bright, with cool breezey
nights, Few sections have been deluged
by rain throughout the spring and summer
as this has; but even where June and July
were remarkably hot and dry, there have
been heavy rains in August, which tend &c
fpostpone the fipening of the crop. "A
smart frost any time this season would dc
great damage. Should this peril be Prov.
lidentially ayerted, we may rejoice over one
of the amplest haryests that ever blessed
the country. Tribune. -

From Utah Territory.

A letter, dated Fort Kearney, Septem-
Der 5, received in this city yesterday,
states that part of the returning Califor-
mans, who passed through Salt Lake on
the 25th Of July, reports that on the eve
ming before he left that city the Mormons
had arrested Mr.. Wilson, whom the late
Surveyor general Burr left in Charge of
the Office, and, with a rope around his
neck and pistol at his breast, compelled
him to answer several questions which
they propounded about Bell Mogo, and
others. Mogo was connected +%sith the
surveyor generals Office The Mormons
made Wilson promise TO bring Mogo to
them during the next day before they rcli'
eased him: Mogo: obtained INFORMATION;
of these proceeding, and Immediately quit2
ed the city, leaving his wife behind. so pre-
cipitate was his retreat. They went in pur
suit of Eandon and the other clerk, but
escaped byjumping Of second
story window. He went that night some
where South, and the report is that le
was otertaken and killed. AS these Cali
ifornians made but a Brief stay, they were
unable to ascertain what Became of VIII

They also say that the Mormons were
making preparations for q fight, and did
not conceal their hostile intentions Ell
der Kimball, in his harangue in the Tab
fernacle,. laughed at the idea of sending
United States troops to Utah, and said
he could "take his wives Chirty or forty
of them) and whip the twenty-five hun.
dred troops, and come back and do q
good days work afterwards" He fur
ther said that provisions for the army
would come into the valley, but the troop:
would never enter Salt Lake City.
Two companies arrived at Fort Kear
ney. on the 18th of September, enrout'

As we had sreason to believe that the
Republicans, or some Of fethern atileast,
intended 70 try to trick the people in their
tickets, we waited until theirs we're print

We then printed ours on a Kind OF paper
that we knew they had not, and could not
conveniently get. sour ticket, as We said
in our last ISSUE, were printed on strong
blue paper. -, -. So =, =. :.
The. Republicans in their first lot had

AS soon as our last paper WIS out, so
that we could give the people no further

of Nathan 1foIlis'cr and w n. Patton

the Democrats cut their tickets apart, and

fFrom the Alta California.l
The Proposed Territory of Carson.


The people Of Carson Valley, and other
valleys adjacent, held public meeting at
Genoa, on the Sth Sult., to consider the
propriety of petitioning Congress for a
separate Territorial organization. So
far asswe can learn from the report of the
proceedings published by persons who
were present, the meeting was unanimous
in favor Of fza=new territery=of their=own.
The reasons for demanding separation
from the dominion of Utah are, that they
dislike the Mermons, and have now no
! political communication with the author
lties of Salt Lake, and, during the winter,
could have no communication if they wish
ed it. A government is necessary to
them; their population is large and rapid.
ly Increasing; and they. need protection
against rascals within and Indians with
out. The majority of the inhabitants Of
Carson and the adjacent valleys are Gen
tiles, and do not wish to have Mormon
officers over them. 5'''s 2ti ~ Jss" T'3a4
The Carson Valley people estimate the
white Inhabitants of the Territory, with
their proposed boundaries, at 1000, 81
whom about 900 are in the Valley to1
the Virgen. These last we strike off
leaving 5000. Carson, aud the valley
lying near, are said to have a population
Eof 1900; and, SO far as we can learn, thai
lis the only fixed point in the estimate O
population. ,a.'' 5,s - 3i' - a's g

The Yield of 1867.

The summer is over, and we are now
able to give some tolerable estimate of the
harvest of 1885, The growth of grass
throughout the dairy regions has been lux
uriant; pastnrage has been very abundant
throughout, a large yield of hay has been
secured---not in the best order---and a
full supply of fall feed is beyond contili-
gency.nJ There must be a full product of
butter aud cheese, though the number of
cows was probably less last spring than
hitherto. ii Sheep, also had somewhat fal-
lenioff, SO that the years product of wool
aud mutton, Jas well as beef, can have been
!! but anaverage one. Rye was q full crop,
, Wheat suffered from winter rains and
/. freezing Iout,n andfeonsiderable from THE
weeyel OF midge;i but o great deal was
sown, and many portions, of the west,
especially in she newest settlements, the
yield was abundant Il The. soutl lesn crop
was uniformly good, and, on the whole,
we bellevelthe surplus, Of this years pro-
duct will be unusually large, thong h, the
wheat culture seems to be gradually run
ming outin this and other of the older
States Potatoes have suffered consider
ablefrom rets especially in this vicinity,
where the last rain and the, succeeding
heat have renewed the ,rayages of the in.
sidious.. disease. u However, we are so
used to- the rot that the yield of potatoes,
though small, may be equal to an average
oflthe last ten years. !sas1o1 Ga 5lsi -sd ;
