HORRIBLE MASSACRE BY INDIANS. The
Salt Lake papers Of the 9Th ult., give the
details of another Indian massacre, which
occurred % miles west Of Fort Hall, on
Landers cut off, on the night of the "a of
September, on party consisting Of six men
three women end ten children, part from
Michigan, and part from Buchanan county,
Iowa. The massacre mast have been a
most horrible one The emfgrants were
surrounded just as they were about camp
ing, and shot down before they had time to
prepare for defence Some who escaped
fell in soon after with company Of dra
goons under command Of Lieut.. Livingston
who sent detachment to the scene Of the
massacre. The following is description
of what they found
'sAfter informing the command of our
distress, Lieut.. Livingston sent detach-
ment Of nine men, with one of our men to
pilot them to the place Of the massacre
On their arriving they found the dead bod
les Of five persons on the ground, out of the
eight that were missing The dead were
horribly mangled and scalped. One little
girl five years old had both her legs ceat off
at the knees her ears were also cut Of, and
her eyes dug out from their sockets; and
to all appearance the GIRL after having her
logs cut of, had been compelled to walk
on the stamps, for the sole purpose Of graft
flying the hellish propensities Of savage bar
barity"

Latest from ClarlestOWR.

Among other interesting and gratifying
intelligence from this little town. which
walked up famous only a few mornings
ngo, we are happy to inform our readers
that the free negro Copeland is sentenced
to do duty under the gallows at an carly
date. Also there has been received, by
Mr.. Andrew Hunter, telegraphic dispatch
from Gov. Wise, recommending that Ste
phens be handed over to the Federal au-
thorities, in order that witnesses (confeder-
erates) from other States may be compelled
to appear at the trial, which will take place
in this very town Of Staunton. Gerritt
Smith has all at once found it convenient
to 60 mad, and have himself confined in the
Lunatio Asylum at Utica.
But we must not neglect to advise our
friends, ofthe arrival of another dismal old
woman, with a mysterious, apochfyphal
son, who is now lodging about Charleston,
trying to nurse" old Brown, and all this
too, without having the decency to ask per-
mission Of the Governor. God knows we
are sick Of such afectatioDs; let the hypo-
critical old Pharisees be driven over our
boundaries, or else ducked in our ponds.

Fire..

Abont 10 o'clock on Thursday morning,
the stables Of the National Hotel. at this
place, were found to be on fire. The stalls
were all filed with valuable horses, which,
in the hurry and confusion of the moment,
would inevitably have persisted. but for the
presence Of mind, and energetic efforts of
DR.. VIM. McChesney and one or two others.
who, alone in the midst Of flames and uproar,
succeeded in cutting all the halters, and saw
ing every horse. The several fire Compa-
MES were promptly on the ground, but ow-
ing to the out Of repair state Of their hose,
&C., they made quite poor show. They,
however, succeeded in eonfning the damage
to the stables alone, which were totally con-
sumed. The fire is variously supposed to be
the work Of an incautious cigar, an abandon
ed lamp, or ''vile inccndiary" who now
Turks in our midst. The loss is probably COW
cred BY the insurance $4,000.

A WARNING Vo1cE. The following saws
the New York Express, is an extract from
letter to the editors, from one of the most
distinguished men in Virginia:
STANTON, VA, Nov 2, 1859.
= It seems to me that the time has
arrived when there should be con uItation,
and, if possible, concert Of action between
the Union-loring men North and South
We are in great danger Of being precipita-
ted on purely sectional contest in 1861
We may stand one such struggle, but not
more than one. IF y there will be,
beyond all doubt, Southern Confederacy
formed, and the CONFLICT OF OPINION will
be followed by the CONFLICT OF THE SWORD
This is no idle surmise. 1t will be an inevi-
table result. sincerely hope there is pa
triotism and national feelings enough to a.
vert such catastrophe. = The
outbreak at Harper's Ferry has given addi-
tional intensity to the feeling, which was
strong enough before.

EE-The Circuit Court, Judge Thompson
presiding, is still in session here. Nearly
all the time, since our last issue, has been
consumed by the trial Of Farrar, who our
readers will remember, stands charged with
the unlawful killing with his Gst) of Mi
chaeI Vance The prosecution was most
ingeniousry and ably conducted by General
Hartman, assisted by our young friend Mr..
Briscoe A. Stuart. who performed the part
assigned him. of opening the case, in pc
culiarly creditablc and happy manner: The
defense was ably and eloquently sustained
by Messrs. Stuart a. H. Fl. and Baldwin
The twelve highminded and intelligent Ju-
rors, as all candid lawyers contract to cali
thers, retired on Wednesday evening, since
which time we have heard nothing from
them. We conceive that their deliberations,
have as yet, been unproductiTe Of result, or
in other words dat they are hung. Should
their suspension terminate before o.r paper
goes to press, the world shall hear it,
THURSDAY EVENING.
S.-The jury have agreed, and Mr.
Farrar'r big fist has cost him 5000 and 8
months Imprisonment in the county Jail.

Letter from Mrs. Child to Gov. Wise.

WAYLAND, Mass, Oct. 70, 1899.
Governor WISE: have heard that you
were man Of chivalrous sentiments, and |
know you were opposed to the ubiquitous
attempt to force upoE Kansas Constitution
abhorent to the moral sense Of her people.
Relying upon those indications of honor and
justice in your character, venture to ask
favor Of you. Enclosed is letter to Capt.
John Brown. Will you have the kindness,
after reading it yourself, to transmit It to
the prisoner7
|, and all my large circle Of abolition &C
quaintances, were taken by surprise when
news came Of Capt Browns recent attempt;
nor do know Of single person who would
have approved Of it, had they been apprised
Of his intentions. But I, and thousands Of
Of others, feel a natural impulse cfsympathy
for the brave and suffering man. Perhaps
God, who sees the inmost Of our souls, per-
celves some such sentiment in your heart
also. He needs mother or sister to dress
his wounds, and speak soothingly to him.
Will you allow me to perform that mission
of humanity7 IF you will, may God bless
you for the generous deed
| have been, for years. an rncolnpromis-
ing abolitionist, and I should scorn to deny
it, or apologize for il, as much as John
Brown himself would. do. Believing in peace
principles, I deeply regret the step that the
old veteran has taken, while honor his hui
mainly toward those who became his prison
ers. But, because it is my habit to be as
open as the daylight, I will also say that if
I believed our religion justified men in fight
ing for freedom, should consider the en-
shaved, everywhere, as bess entitled to that
right Such an avowal is a simple, frank
expression Of my sense Of natural justice. =
But | should despise myself utterly, if any
circumstances could tempt me to seek to ad-
vance these opinions, in any way, directly
or indirectly, after your permission to visit
Virginia had been obtained on the. plea Of
sisterly sympathy with brave and suffering
man. give you my word Of honor, which
was never broken, that would use such
permission solely and singly for the purpose
Of nursing your prisoner, and for no other
purpose whatsoever.
Yours, respectfully,

Letter from Hrs. Child to John Brown.
WAYLAND, Mass, Oct 26, 1859.

WAYLAND, Mass, Oct. 26, 1859.
Dear Captain Brown:
Though personally unknown to you, you
will recognize il my name an earnest friend
Of Kansas, when circumstances made that
Territory the battle ground between the ans
tagonistic principles Of slavery and freedom
which politicians SO vainly strive to recon
cile in the government of the United States
Believing in peace principles, I cannot
sympathize with the method you chose to
advance the cause Of freedom. But hon
or your generous intentions reverence
you for the humanity which tempered your
zeal Isympathize with your cruel bereave-
ments, your suferings, and your wrongs
In brief, | love you and bless you.
Thousands Of hearts are throbbing with
sympathy, rs warm as mine. [ think Of
you night and day, bleeding in prison, sur
rounded by hostile faces, sustained only by
trust in God, and your own strong heart
| long to nurse you, to speak to you sister
" words Of sympathy and consolation. I
have asked permission Of Governor Wise to
do so. Il the request is not granted, |
cherish the hope that these few words may
at least reach your hands, and afford you
some little solace May you be strengthen
ed by the conviction that no honest man ever
sheds blood for freedom in vain, however
much he may be mistaken in his efforts. ~
May God sustain you, and carry you through
whatsoever may be in store for you.
Yours, with heartfelt respect, sympathy
and affection, Z. MARIA CHILD.

try the treatment on them (supposing my
brother to DE Southern man.. just take
the niger alone-tie him lindfold him
bare his back--and then take some sticks
Of sealing wax and candle, and let the
burning wax drop all over his back. He'll
think he is being dissected alive! You
never have to wax niger but onco. 1t
does not larm-only works upon him pow
erfully, and he never knows what was done
to him. >"
Again, cannot our cotemporary, from his
personal knowledge, pronounce the asser-
ton concerning the marriage and inter-
marriage Of Southern slaves most senseless
lie 4? It is true that most Of the Southern
States very properly refuse to acknowledge
the legality Of marriage among slaves but
we suppose no master was ever so foolish
as to decline to crafty the initiative and
monkey propensity ofncgroes, which prompts
them thus to mimic white folks"
We put the question to the editor Of the
Courier as sensible, honest man-does he
believe one word Of the story told by this
philanthropic lady, who SO ostentatiously
parades her lying "Observations" before
the woald, through the columns of the Tri-
bune? Even if these isolated cases be true,
does he not know that they do not, as the
authoress intended them, indicate the usual
condition of Southern slaves
