The LATE MASSACRE on THE PLAINS AND THz
MoRMONs.-The report of the late massacre is fully
confirmed. The number of persons slaughtered by
the Indians was lis. Great excitement prevailed in
Los Angeles ON the announcement, shortly after the
receipt Of the news, that parties were in town who
corroborated all the statements that had been previ-
ously made. A public meeting was called, and the
persons referred to attended it and made statements,
a condensation of which we give. Their names are
Power and Warn. They had lately returned from
Salt Lake City. Mr.. Power, in his narrative, says
We found the Mormons making very determined
preparations to fight the United States troops WIEN
ever they may arrive. On our way in, we met three
companies of one hundred men each, armed and on
the road towards the pass over Fort Bridger. 1 was
told at Fort Bridger that at Fort Supply, twelve
miles this side of Fort Bridger, there were four hun
dred armed Indians awaiting orders; they also said
there were sixty thousand pounds of -four stored at
Fort Bridger, for the use of their army. We found
companies drilling every evening in the city. The
Mormons declared to us that no United States troops
should ever cross the mountains.
While in San Bernardino, 1 heard many persons
express qualification at the massacre. At the church
services on Sunday, Capt. Hunt occupied the pulpit,
and, among other things, he said that the hand Of
the Lord was in it; whether it was done by white or
red skins, it was right The prophecies concerning
Missouri were being fulfilled, and they would all be
accomplished.
More outrages had occurred upon the Plains, which
were i~nstigated by the Mormons.
EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFoRNIA.-A San Francisco
paper says Our city was startled on Tuesday
morning by the recurrence of the phenomena which
are beginning to be so much dreaded here, and for
which scien e supplies but the one general term OF
earthquakes. \ shock, whichEnyted from five TO
seven seconds, and was so violent as to slightly rend
brcs walls. throw DOWN mirrors and table ware, and
arouse the soundest sleepers in every part of the city,
was felt at L o'clock. 1t was preceded by lighter
vibrations during the night and early evening, and
accompanied with the usual rumble or roar peculiar
to the phenomena Accounts differ, as they always
will, of the direction of the motion produced. The
shock at 6.25 on the preceding evening was from
neaS,y due T. to w. 1t struck many buildings, in
INMATES were seated at dinner, with a
risiEs%sJtIon and effect similar to the motion one
experiences in n vessel buffeted by n heavy head sea.
The course of oscillation yesterday morning is gener-
ally conceded to have been from S. + to n. W.
