bune Gays an intelligent writer 10 tho train of the
Utah Peace Commissioner states that the system
OF buying and selling Indian women is carried on
all along the route across the plains, among the
traders and irontiersmen. rs a regular established
practice. Almost every white man along this
route has an Indian cOncubine he has purchased, in
the case of young and beautiful squaws, at as
high price as three or four horses. though old and
ugly ones may be had a. a much less cost, Once
sold to the white men, her Indian relatives re,
nounoe oil further interest in her, and not merely
her person, but her life, is at the disposal of her
owner. When q white man gets tired Of his slave
wife, he ships her off and gets another. The chill,
dren of these unions are totally neglected by the
fathers, and grow up ms they may under the care
of the mothers, At oil the forts along the route
the young officers, settlers and all who can afford
it, keep their squaws.
WHAT GERRir SMITH THINKS OF WoNAN's Dress.
"A the late National Dress Reform Association,
held in Courtlandville, n. Y, the following ex.
tract from n letter fran Earrit Smith N, RAD.
PETgRBoRo. N. y, June 18th. 1858.
Oh, when will women have too much self,re.
spect to indulge this dress foolery ? How asham'
ed she would be of man were he to indulge it,
and were he to put on hoops and dress his hair
and deck his neck and ears with jewels? In
spite of her vanity, woman holds herself in very
low esteem. She does not think of comparing
herself, in dignity with man. The comparison
would put an end to this triiling with herself, aud
to this sad and shameful self.degradation.
In haste, your friend,
GERRIT SMITH.

SELLING INDIANS INTO SLAvERV.-On the 50
inst, the Spanish,steGmer Mexico returned to Ha'
vana from Vera Cruz and Sisal. She brought no
news, but had among her passengers LIZ Yucatan
Indians, who are pretended to be sold only for a
'erm OF years, but who are neither more nor less
than life long slaves.
During Ignacio Comonfort's administration in
Mexico, this ex expectation of Indians was not per.
uitsed; under the present rule in that unhappy
country, men born free as the air they breathe
are made "prisoners of war" and then sold into
slavery

EGGs.-According to the census returns Of 1860,
the value of the annual product Of eggs in the
United States was estimated at SIS, 900 900. A
contemporary endeavors to show that these figures
are immeasurab!y short of the truth, and 10 do
great injustice IL the egg interest. 1t is estimated
thati there are l03. 500, 600 laying fowls in the
country, of which 10000, 900 lay one egg a day
throughout the year. This would give as the an
nual crop Is, $50. 000, 900 eggs and these, at eight
cents per dozen, would be worth Sl2l SOC. 666.
This is more tina n the cotton crop is worth.
