"A WHITE CAPTIVE AMONG THE
IND1ASs.--Last fall an emigrant train,
journeying from Iowa to Oregon, was
attacked on the plains by the Indians,
and all the travellers were said to have
been killed, with the exception Of
two men who fought their way thro' +,
and two women, one of whom was
left for dead at the foot Of q prcci-
pice, but was afterwards recovered
and restored to her friends, and the
other taken into camp and compelled
to adopt the savage life of the Sioux.
This summer, we learn from the Red
River Nor'Wester, when the half.
breeds from Pcmbina were at the
Yank,on camp on the plains, some
of them, as they allcge, saw this poor
hapless female nsthc wigwam of her
captors. They say that they, con-
versed with her, and that she was anx.
ious to get away but she could lot ct:
feet her escape. Wether there is any
truth in the halfbrccd's story VIC can
not say, but it is worthy OF being
enquired into, and if found to be cor.
rect means ought to be taken by on,
government for rescuing the untortu
nate woman from a position Of fmiscry
and degradation which she must feel
to be worse than the. cruelcst death. .
