says;
DIR. Jacob Forney. Indian Superintendent
for Utah, returned from the southern part of
the Territory few days since, bringing with
him to this city three of the orphans of the
Mountain Meadows massacre, and leaving
fourteen at the Indian Farm, at Spanish
Forks. These children have for the past six
months been living at Fort Clara, on the
ST. Clara river, in charge of Mr.. Hamlin.

and easy manners, they have been well cared
for. The Indians south, are all quiet they
are culhvating their reservations. On one
farm, some l60 acres are already sown, and
some 100 more will soon be in the ground
Houses of adobies are in the course of cree.
ton. Their children are regularly schooled,
ana Their women are taught the art of house
keeping The Superintendent has been very
diligent in the discharge of his arduous dn
ties since he has been in the Territory and
exacts from the agents under his orders. strict
performance of their duties, which in some
cases has caused him to exercise his powers
unpleasant as they might be.

rived in town, but not for exhibition He

bridge could not be reached. They then went
all the way down the river, and attempted tC
cross the Yuba river bridge at the foot of Tho
Plaza in this city 1t was no go, slough oil

DIToH TO COLUMBIA HILL-The Hydraulic
Press says the preliminary survey for the
proposed ditch to Columbia Hill has been
made by Mr.. John Archibald, and develops
the fact that water cannot be brought to the
hill from any point less distant than thirty
eight or forty miles. 1t is thought, however,
that the ditch could be dug at an average
cost per rod of eight dollars, which is said
to be less than the cost of any work of similar
size in the county. It is not yet certain
whether it will be undertaken or not. DR..
Weaver offers to contract TO furnish water
from his ditch at twelve cents an inch. If
this offer is accepted the new ditch will not
be built.

THE Atlas correspondent, writing OF May
9th, from Salt Lake City, says;
Parties of armed men are out in various
localities in the mountains. Scouting parties,
regularly organized and relieved, are on du-
ty. Belated travellers have been challenged.
Signal fires have been tactly arranged. Cam
mons, cached last Spring, have been exhum-
ed, cleaned and charged. Drafts have been
levied upon all the settlements, and gentle
man just from the South tells us that at least
two-thirds of the men of each and every set
tlement are absent; that he saw men mount
ed and armed, with blankets and knapsacks,
leaving home that but one bishop between
this city and one hundred and fifty miles
south, was at his post.
Participators, fugitives and
criminals of the South are secreted, and
sheltered in this city. Every effort is made
to screen murders and defeat the ends of JUS
tice.

What is the Cause of II!

No one, we presume, will have the hardi-
hood to deny that the weather, of late, and
indeed during the Spring, has been somewhat
extraordinary Cold winds have blown,
chilling the very marrow in the bones, di-
rectly after such heat as seemed ready to melt
one in his boots. In connection with this, it
is natural to recur to the fact also that, during
the past twelve or eighteen months, the
whole atmosphere of the earth has been sub
ject to violent changes. The most terrific
storms, gales, and tornadoes that ever shook
the realm of nature have been frequent
Ships have gone down to the bottom of the
sea, with every soul on board or seized in
the rude arms of the elemental cycloid, have
been thrown forth into the settling sea float
ing, helmless wreck Forests have been up
rooted, and Aouses prostrated in ruins Vast
floods have descended from the heavens
and swept down towns and hamlets BY
wind and wave and flood, there has been
fearful destruction indeed of life and property.
How can it be accounted for? The proba
bility is that it is owing to the uncommon
activity of the internal forces of the earth.
Within the last eighteen months, the great
heart of fire within the earths center has
seemed to heave and throb with a strength
not known since the elder ages of the world.
Earthquakes have shaken down vast cities
and swallowed up millions of inhabitants. A
far more than ordinary nuc!ber of volcanoes
have been belching forth their hidden fires,
and laundering their wrath into the startled
heavens. In the four quarters of the world
the imprisoned Fire Demon has been opening
the valves of his terrible enginery, and giving
vent to the power that will not slumber. The
amazing effect of these ut-bursting forces
may be estimated by glance at the one vol
cano of Mauna Loa, in the Hawaiian Islands.
For months has it been pouring forth its
burning flood into the sea, in a stream five
miles broad and fifty miles long Who can
estimate the results of such intenseness of
heat upon the circumfiuent air? 1t is enough
to change the whole atmosphere of the earth

volumes of cold air must rush, and by the
