the Mormon Bishop OF Harmony. The boy,
Miriam, also identified his fathers Oneu, uiich
are nOc Orned By Lee. The two oldest boys
told me that after they had been fighting for
eight days, during four Of which they were in
the corral, from whence the water had been cut
off, Bishop Hight, of Cedar City. came into the
corral, and told the emigrants that the Indians
did not want anything but their cattle, and if
they would lay down their arms, their lives would
be spared. They did so, and started to 60 TO
Santa Clara, when they were attacked by mixed
party Of whites and Indians, and all killed except
the children. The boy Miriam stated that, after
the massacre was over, he sac the BiSh0p cf Coal
Greek mashing the paint from his face, lrhich he
had used to disguise himSe!f as an Intim.
The man Hanbiin seemed perfectly conyer
SAINT with the circumstances Of the massacre,
and told me that at one time he had good
many Of the cattle in his possession. A Nor
mon named Ira Hatch also told me that he found
the only man that escaped about one hundred
miles from the Meadows, persuaded him to re-
turn with him, but when they had gone about
40 miles, the Indians murdered him in his pres
ence.
There were 1S wagons $40 head Of cattle,
and l43 persons in the train. 1t is supposed
there was also great deal of money, as the
Momons say it was the richest train that ever
crossed the plains. | believe DR.. Forney TO be
acquainted with all the circumstances have mar
rated.
DR.. Forney has returned from the South,
bringing with him nearly all the children res
cued from the massacre at the Mountain Mead
Ows, to perpetuate the Mormon creed and prac-
tice Mormon atrocities. The Doctor, in the last
number Of the Valley Tan, so effectually con-
cealed the result Of his examination into the cir
cumStances Of this crime, that the cunning and
dupiicity Of this people will, in 4 few months,
turn his record to their favor, and with the same
boldneSs that they attempted to prove in court
that the Indians erected the Notifications in Echo
Canon, assert that the parents Of these children
were selfdestroyers, like the Kilkenny cats, or
were murdered by other emigrants who were
enyious oi their prosperity. Fortunately, the
impressions Of those horrid scenes are so stamped
upon the brains Of these children, that neither
time nor cruelty can etiace them; and however
numerous the efforts to discredit th,i testimony,
their assertions, substantiated by rcumstantal
evidence, by States evidence, and by the boast
ings that "they did it"-of the criminals
themselves-will yet cause our Government and
people to ayenge the wrongs Of these injured
orphans. In any other community than this
lynch law would be exercised upon those in
authority in the church, and upon those who
Dr. FOrney has brought these children to
Salt Lake City and distributed them among the
various houses of prostitution Qor what else is

To delay acton aud obtain time to perfect their
schemes, the old story Of negotiations for the
purchase Of the improvements Of the MormOns
is again put in circulation, but we incline TO the
opinion that few will believe It, this time. An
energetic President would soon settle the matter;
capitalists never.
LARGE STRAwBERRIEs.-We were last week
presented with dish Of the largest and best
favored strawberries we ever saw or tasted.
They were grown in the garden of Frank Clark,
Esq, in StcilacOom, and might safely challenge
comparison with the best collection Of this deli
ciOus fruit ever exhibited in confeetioners win
dow. We idnot measure them, but they would
equal, in size, ordinary plums Mr.. Clark has
devoted much labor and expense, the past season,
to the adOrnmcnt Of the grounds adjoining bis
dwelling, and has been rewarded by the most
gratifying success. He planted late in the spring,
q good variety Of fruits and vegetables, al Of
which have attained luxuriant growth, far in
advance Of similar plants and trees Of like age
in other localities. This garden is beautiful or.
namsnt to the town, and fails not to elicit the
admiration Of strangers.
