SCENES IN INDIAN WAR


George Winter, Of Lafay ette, Ind, writes
to his father in that city,a letter from Car
son Valley dated September 10th, which is
published in the journal. lie says;

dams on Humboldt river, and once by the
Goose Creek Indians. | escaped from them
once through the reference Of a white
man who is living among them, supposed
to he Mormon, but was not so lucky the
last time, having received a severe cut, two
in hes long, in my LETT breast. 1t was not
fair blow, or it would most probably have
proved fatal.
The Indian who STABBED me almost lost
his life. | drew my revolver and shot him
in the back of the head, and prepared to
shoot him again, but discovered other In
dams near. was afraid of being caught
again, so ran as fast rs | could to escape
them. In retreating for salty, | ran into
the midst of another body of Indians, who
were in the act of stripping tho body of a
white man who had just been killed. One
bloody devil of IN Indian tore off his scalp.
The unfortunate man belonged to orr train
by name, Thomas Harding, from Ohio. In
my surprise and alarm gave a most in
fernal veil. which brought body of our

were surprised, and did not seem to know
how to act.
But sad and bloody strife ensued. Our
party killed five Indians on the spot, and
took twenty prisoners, eleven OF whom es-
capped during tho night. The remaining
nine were hung on the following morning.
This was done by placing the tongues of
the wagons together: ami tying rope ut
apex. The Indians were made to stand
upon horse, the rope was adjusted around
the necks, the horse was then driven from
under the gallows, and each one was thus
landed into eternity. 1t was sad sight
but one Of terrible necessity for self pre-
servation. One of them proved to be
white man, evidently a Mormon. He was
stripped-iron rods from behind the end
gates of five wagons were used to whip him
until he was near y dead they were then
heated red hot and pushed into his flesh.
Oh! it was horrible aud revolving; yet

suffer. They burned him so that at last be

the mere prick Of pin. At first he cursed
and swore that his friends (the lndians)
would have revenge for this. They then
hung him, and tied the knot in such way
as to prolong his suffering. lie was then
cut down and taken to the willows
He was watched by men secreted IN the
bushes; in short time some Indians
came sneaking up to take the wounded
man away. lie seemed to revive through
something that was administered by them.

Indians his sufferipgs In their efforts to

TIE REVENUE LAWS.

'Cnerc arc now between three and four
hundred thousand dollars of State revenue
in arrears to the State from tho several
counties. This money can't he COLLECTED
under the present system, because nobody
will buy the lands offered at tax sales, Tor
the reason that they do not believe the titles
ac1ni, c un Ter such sales TO be of,,anv val
u. 1t is great object. therefore, to &C.
cure the payment Of this money now IN ar.
rcars, and to provide some means that will
ensure more speedy collection Of taxes IN
future. We believe that this object can be
accomplished.
First.-By reduction Of the rate of in
terest charged on delinquent taxes to rate
not exceeding ten per cent. There never
was n greater mistake perpetrated by !egis-
lators than this demand Of excessive inter-
est as a penalty for the non payment OF
taxes. In our opinion not one dollar in ten
collected ns interest over finds its way into
the State Treasury. The tax payers may
be feeced, but the State is not benefited by
it.
Second.-lns:ead Of charging exorbtant
rates of interest and waiting two or three
wears for it to accumulate, and then losing
both principal and interest, let the law Re so
changed that the property assessed and on
which taxes become due, shall be sold in
some reasonable time. and that no party
shall be uliowed to test the title acquired IN
der such sale until the full amount Of the
tares, interest and costs SHAH be tenGered to
the p1rtY claiming under the tar sale. With
the laws CHANGED, we shall not see the veal
thv men of our State allowing their proper

/ Of the tax title acquired upon it by the pur-
chaser to absolve them from the payment Of
, their share Of the public burdens.
In our opinion the real estate Of the coun-
| try ought not to be assessed oftencr than
once in three years, or else all improvements
should be exempt from taxation for certain

hnqfon Harrkeye.
We are Inclined to regard these sngges-
/ tons as worthy the consideration of the in
coming legislature, but We do not see how
any amendment now made in the revcnae
/ laws, will secure the payment of the money
now in arrears, unless the proposed change
can DO made retroactive 10 its operation
/ A change in the law as suggested would
doubtless have the effect to "ensure more
speedy collection Of taxes in fu:ure''-a de-
sideratum of no mean mportance. We
would also suggest to the Legislature the
proprle,y of absolutely debarring the owners
of property sold for taxes, from the redemp-
ton of the came, after the lapse of GER
tain specified ti'ne-two years. say. There
! appear to US no good reasons, why n title to
land, acquired under tax sale, after all the
conditions of the law have been complied
with, should not be as absolute, as though
acquired by purchase in the ordinary man.

CT The London journals report that
the annual demand for penny postage stamps
in Great Britain is little short of SOC, 900
600. Surprising the year to contain 800
working days, that would give for every
working day about 100000 stamps to
be manufactured. Something, that, for
the printer to do. No very impossible task
however, when We remember the small size
of the stamp, and the number that might
be printed by single stroke of the press
or one revolution of a cylinder machine.

most disgrlceful panic his seized upon the
entire population of the slave States, and
their alarm has led 20 such exhibitions of
cowardice and madness rs have never before
been witnessed in any American community.
Cowardice is ever cruel and unreasonable,
and the phase Of it which prevails South,
especially in Virginia, is not an exception.
In their fear they are playing the most silly
and cruel pranks. Every man who may
chance to be met by any of the troops or
police, is Immediately arrested and thrown
into prison, rs IL spy or an agent of scdl-
ton. if they do not happen TO know him.
No mans life is safe, and as to liberty, it is
not known. 1t is a grave CIcnse not to be
known to the authorities, Immediately pun
ished by arrest and imprisonment. if not
with personal violence; and to express an
opinion not in harmony with Southern sen
timcnt, is a crime worthy of death. There
is, in fact, literally n reign Of terror through
/ out the South almost as terrible in its
results, as that which made France desolate
during the Revolution.
The conduct of the people of Virginia
since the Harper's Ferry conspiracy, is n
disgrace to the Southern character, and
will effectunily annhiiate the pompous
claim they have so long made to the title
of "chivalry." They have proved
themselves absolutely destitute of courage,
generosity, magnanimlty, and even common
sense. From one end Of the 5 nth to the
other, with now and then an honorable OK
cpption, a howl has gone up. not only for
the blood of Brown and his associates, but
of every Northern man who has incurred
their hatred bv his successful opposition to
slavery aggression. A thirst for the blood
of "aboltionists has become an overween
ing passion with editors and politicians Of
all degrees. No clearer evidence can be re-
1uired than they have given during the reign
OF this panic, that the present race Of South
ern people has dcgcnera'ed to dsarflIke

DEPLoRAsLE STATE OF THINGS IN SALT
= LAKE CITY.

From gentlemen just in from Salt LAKE
CITY we learn that affairs there are to all
intents and purposes growing worse in thas
strong hold Of Mormonism. Every citiIen
who is not Mormon feels that he holds MS
life by but tender cord which is liable to
be severed at any moment by the hand OF
the assassin. To incur the displeasure OF
the church or Of leading Saint is to DO
doomed. Under this state Of things all who
can get away are leaving. To live in such
constant peril against which no courage,
vigilance or proves will avail aught is in
tolerable. What, we ask, is the remedy?
We have repeatedly given it as our opinion
that the most humane, feasible and by far
the most economical solution Of this difficult
and embarrassing question would be the
construction Of Railroad to Salt Lake
Valley; which would induce the immediate
settlement of preponderence Of loyal oiti-
zens in that Territory and the expulsion of
the Mormons from every trust, offering at
once the means for the attainment of fair
trials before Gentle jurors, and the certain
visitation of punishment on oil malefactors.

AN ALABAMA PROTEST.

The Mobile Register places on record what
it calls an unqualified, earnest and indig-
nant protest :" against the clamors of the
Richmond Enquirer over the late Brown af-
fair. 1t says it was "disgraceful enough
that tw enty two wretched border marauders
should COW a town of 1000 inhabitants"
but the rawlings of the Enquirer over the
matter it considers even more disgraceful,
and stigmatizes them as ''cravenly cutlery"
"True dignity" it says, sis violated by the
undue importance given to this miserable
raid of few frantic fanatics; it should
have been classed with Baltimore riot or
New Orleans election-a heinous crime to
be sure, but not one implying frightful
danger to the South"

q The great plain which stretches be-
yond Kansas to the Rocky Mountains are
pronounced to be desert. Yet buffalo
range, such as those plains VIGOROUSLY are,
cannot be desert, and n country that will
support cattle will support men, for the OBJ
vious reason that men can subsist upon the
milk and beef that cattle furnish. These
great plains may be unfit for the p!ow, but
they will DOUBTLESS maintain u great pnsto-
rial population.
1t is one of tho most singular prejudices,
not CT mankind, but of tho American portion
of mankind, that countries are onlv valuable
in proportion as they are arnLlc. This is a
theory whIch rejects the natural productions
of the earth as of no account. Statistics
show that animals furnish a greater amount
Of foot., rcckoncd in this country, than all
tho cereals and all the root crops. And
even of Eng land with its confined limits and
wonderful tilti, it has been said by one who
ought to know, that "hdlf It's ueaith uGs on
the h0ot.' Every househceper is aware
that his butchers bill is larger than his ba-
ner's bill and yet, strangely enough, coun-
tries which will only support cattle are ad
judged worthless, the whole end and aim Of
man being supposed to be the raising of
wheat and corn.
In due time, we shall sec millions of peo-
pie subsisting in comfort and opulence upon
the mineral and pastoral resources of that
central region, which lies between the arabic
| skirts of the Mississippi and Missouri on the
one side, and California and Oregon on the
other; and it is this middle region, to be
developed by railroads, which is to be the
greatest future market of the valley Of the
Mississippi. 1t is the men who will tend
focks and herds in the parks of the Rocky
Mountains and in the great plains which lie
Mt their base, vino will consume the wheat
of Iowa and Missouri, md Kansas and Ne.
