home Hundreds in the mines have been there
two. three and four years, aud to this day have
never had money enough at any one time to get
home. They left wives and children, who read
the stories of California wealth, and they cannot
be made to understand how any one could fail to
make few hundred dollars in year where gold
is so plentiful. The unlucky miner wearics OF
making explanations of how he has been kept

think he has become dissipated or forgettul. On

and eagerly ask the clerk to look again there

a half suppressed oath that they have written

llECrOR II. MCLEAN.--Ihis gentleman, whose
heroic and pcrseyering efforts to rescue his child
rem from the oathsOmc embraces OF MormOnisnl
have made his name familiar to the public, yes
tcrday paid us a visit Ilc showed us number
of letters written to his wife by T. +. Pratt, in
the characters which the Mormons have Invented
IN order to carry on correspondence and conceal
their meaning, should their letters ever happen
10 fall into the hands OF Gentiles' The letters
thus written are as perfectly ncomprchcnslble to
us as they would be ii written in Chinese
Strange rs it may appear, Mr.. Mclean translated
these letters correctly. aS circumstance suhsc-
quently showed without any prcyUus knowledge
OF the characters used,
The only key he had was furnished in the first
letter, wherein the writer informed his victim
that certain alterations had been made in this
Mormon alpha bet, aud explained what they were,
so that she might understand them. The altera-
tons were only two, and from this slight clue to
the meaning Of these hieroglyphics, Mr.. Mclean
succeeded, after giving up in despair several
times, in decipherlng the whole, thus enabling
him to thwart the efforts of the impostcr 20 rob
him of his children. II was extraordinary and
shows itself veritably that necessity Is the mother
OF Invention. Mr.. Mclean narrated to usa mum
Der Of circumstances which almost seemed to III
dicate the direct intcrposition Of Providence In
his behalf in causing hun to secure his children.
We advise Mormon spies here, as elsewhere, TO
give Mr. Mclean as wide berth ~ possible
His company to them will prove extremely dsa-
groeabe to say the least
If Mr.. buchanan would confer upon him the
Governorship Of Utah. and he would accept it,
we are inclined to think that the old Brlgand
would have sudden weakness in his knees. A.

A "REMINISCENCES OF INDIAN MASSACRE oN TIL
TRINITY kVER--An incident occurred in 1852
in Trinity county, a short distance from the natu
raj bridge described hcretofore) on the Hay
Fork OF the Trinity river, which has given tn,
district historical importance, a correspondent
of the Christian ideocate thus relates the circum
stances:
The Trinity Indians had become bold, and the
murder of several men had filed the settlers and
travellers in those mountains with terror They
had collected to the number OF one hundred aud
thrty-(our. Capt Dixon, then Sheriff OF Trinity
county, raised small company of men, thirty
four in all. Learning the position oi the Indians,
he planned a mode Of attack. by statonng divi-
sions of his band at three several points so as to
cut off the escape Of the savagcs. One division,
at break of day and at a given signal, was to
march upon them and fire, and the other divisions
were to meet them in their Hight. The scheme
was most successful At the first discharge they
fed in one direction and were met by vOlley
from the men in it they rushed to the other av-
enue of retreat. and the well aimed fire of dozen
men drove them to their camp. The three divs-
ions now joined in a charge, and oae ho1idrcd and
tucaty- three Of them lay dead upon that fatal
field Several were taken prlsonc rs. aud only a
few escaped to report the slaughter OF their
brothers. The Trinity Indians have since been

CuRIous GosST ABOUT A SAN FRANClSCo NorA-
RLE.-I have conversrd with lady rom Salt
Lake, says a writer in the Sacramento Bee, who
informs me that it is quite common among the
women OF Brigham Young harem to talk about
the return, at some future day, OF Samuel Bran-
nan to the city Of the Latter Day Saints They
say that Mr.. Brannan has repeatedly written to
Brigham lhat he is only staying here amongst the
Gcntlcs to make money out OF them, and as soon
rs he gets enough, that he intends to go back and
spend it in building mp the Mormon strength IN
the Great Basin, and the spread ol the holy re-
ligion.' 1t is also said that Brigham shakes his
head and looks wise when he hears sam Brannan
mentioned, remarking mysteriously that Sam is
all right and will prove himself SO ere long
Whether this is all gossip on the part of Brigham
honris, Who must have something to talk about
in their associated scclusion, or whether it is re-
ally SO, of course We cannot say. We give the
fact as it is told US.
