HORRIBLE MASSA GRE BY INDIANS

Another Indian massacre occurred rs
miles west of Fort Hall, on Lander's cut
of, on the eight of the I'd of September,
on a party consisting Of six men, three
women and ten children, part from Mich
igan, and part from Buchanan county, To-
wa. The massacre must have been n
most horrible one. The emigrants were
surrounded just as they were about camp
ing, and were shot down before they had
time 10 prepare for defence. Some who
escaped fell in soon after with company
of Dragons under command Of Lieut..
Livingston, who sent detachment to
the scene of the massacre. The follow
ing is the description of what they found
After informing the command of our
distress, Lieut.. Livingston sent a detach-
ment of nine men, with one of our COM
pany to pilot them TO the place of the
massacre. On their arrival they found
the dead bodies Of five persons on the
ground, out of the eight that were miss
ing. The dead were horribly mangled
and scalpcd. One little girl, five years
old, had both her legs cut off at the knees
her ears were also cut off, and her eyes
were dug out from their sockets; and TO
all appearance the girl, after having her
legs cut off, had been compelled to walk
on The stumps, for the sole purpose OF
gratifying the hellish propensity of saw
age barbarity.
"The animals were taken and their
wagons plundcred according to the usual
mode of Indian spoilation.

Promising that the cost of locomotion de-
ponds on the amount Of power required,
and on the economical generation and APP
plication Of that power, he inquiries how
much horsepower the Great Eastern de-
mands. Her size, he asserts, does not
give her any appreciate advantage over
other vessels, although she gains little
from her sharpness. Then, as her boilers
and engines are precisely of the old sort,
it is impossible that there should be much
economy of fuel. 1t seems to be also IN
established fact that her sails cannot as
sst her as much rs they would were she
exclusively screw steamer, as they in
tcrfere TO some extent with the free ope-
ration of the paddle-wheels. At high
speed they would be of little assistance.
He regards her, however, as to some ex-
tent mechanical success, and believes
that, if she can be filed, upon long voy-
ages she will pay, although the anticipa-
ted economical advantages may not be re-
allied.
