The Mountain Meadow Massacre.
After an interval of eighteen years,
the trial of the alleged perpetrators of
the Mountain Meadow massacre has
commenced in fhc courts of Salt Lake
City. That the reader may have a
proper understanding of this tragical
event, we will state, that in 1850 Utah
was organised ne a Territory, and
President Fflmoro conferred tho office
ef Governor upon Briglmm Young.
Prrts years afterward, 'President;
Hetee. taudo oa aaeSVetuai attempt to
Jm* tWsH^l St?J?leO, of th? Ucguinr
Ajany, into tli* gabernatorial chair,
5n tho plAco of Yeuwg. A good deal
of bad feeling grow out of this, Young
declaring to tbo Mormon 'labcrnaclo:
"I am. nad will bo, Governor, and no
power ean prevent it, until the Lord
Almighty says, 'Brigham, you need
not be Governor any longer.'" In
April, 1875, Governor Young expell
ed from the Territory a number of
United States officers. For this offence
President Buchanan deposed Young,
and appointed Alfred Gumming in his
stead, and orderod a strong military
force to Utah to sustain the Govern
ment. On the 24th of July, 1857,
when tho Mormons heard of the in
tentions of tho President, they dcelnr
od their independence. This day they
had celebrated for ten years in suc
cession as a white one iu their history.
Ten years before, having been expell
ed from Nauvoo, the Mormons first
entered Salt Lake Valley, and after
ward kept the anniversary ns a holi
day, and tho declaration of their
separation and independence added
new zest to the festival.
During tho demonstration which
was held in Cottonwood Ganon, ono of
"** iheTnouniain gbrgesj where the. wciftT"
and subliue scenery presents a picture
which defies the skill and genius of the
painter and the inspiration of the poet,
two tired and travel-worn messengers
rode up the glen and anuounccd thai
tho troops had begun thoir march
from tho Iroulier of tho Missouri.
The news fell like a thu?<Jerbolt from
a blue aUy *oung made a fiery
speech to tho two thousaud auditors
before him, and defended his demand
for independence, and asked that the
name of Utah be blotted out, and
that the panto of Dc*erct be substitu
ted in its place. At onco the Mor
mon militia wero put under arms,
lortifications wero erected, and the
Territory placed in an attitude of
defonfo.
Wheu Van Vlict, the Quartermas
ter, arrived at Salt Lake City tomsko
Arrangements for the reception of tho
United Stale! tree pa, ito wii informed
4%M iheuF advance would be resisted
bf (orqtz ef areas*, cod a fortnight later |
tirebr ?reis? were attacked- by the
Veme* soldier*, their wagom* were
buraetS, aad their teamsters arrest* d
and dhiaruied. It was in this condi-1
tion of affairs that the Mountain
Meadow massacre occurred in Septem
ber, 1857. While tho troops were
marching toward Utah over the old
road along the Sweet Water, one
hundred aud fifty Arkannses cmi
grants, men, women, and children, on
their way to California, were attacked
by a band of Indians, and of whites
disguised ns Indians. For eight days
they defended themselves in a corral
made of their wagons; but on Tues
day, September loth, they surrender
eel, and wero at once exterminated.
Lee, the Mormon leader of this hand
of murderers, has made a confession
in which he gives a detailed account
of the revolting massacre, stating the
names of persons connected with the
outrage, what was done by the mur
derers aTter the commission of the
crime, the disposition of the children
saved, and the particulars of their
removal to Missouri. lie explains
how and why tke tragedy was execu
te?!, nnd fixes tho responsibility on
Height nnd Higbce, the former stand
ing on un eminence and giving the
signal agreed upon for llie slaughter.
When the emigrants had been decoy
ed from their stronghold by nllag of
truce, they were despatched by thirty
white men and a large number ofr
11;dinns. He adds to his confession
the following statement: "Injustice
to Brigham Young, I must say that
when he heard my story he wept like
a child, walked the floor and wrung
his hands iu bitter anguish, and said
it was the most unfortunate affair, the
. west unwarranted ercnt that had ever
happened to the Mormon people. Ho
said 'This transaction will briug sor
row and treoblft upon uj in Utak. I
' would to Qed it bad aavcr happen
ed.' M
Lee, p Mormon Biakop, is repre
sented in his photograph, as about
seventy years of Hge, with short,
coarse gray hair, a merciless mouth,
high cheek bones, a hard forehead,
an unsympathetic and uuintcllcctual
face. He is of ordinary height, heavi
ly built, nnd clad in homespun. His
appearance marks him as a man of
inflexible purpose, obsequious in bis
servility, aud unflinching in his devo
tion to his religious sentiments.
Scientific Observations.
The highest point in the world
where arrangements are made for
scientific observations is the summit
of Pike's Peak. There, 14,30b' feet
above the level of the sea, is a rudely
constructed stone house, where live
three men, the observing sergeant and
his two assistants. During seven
months of the year these men arc shut
off from all in teniour.se with other hu
man beings. Early in November they
house themselves, and live on the pro
visions they have stored up and the
meats they have buried in the snow.
When tho atmosphere is in a proper
condition for the telegraph to work,
some scraps of news aro obtained, but
they cannot reach the world below
u?rtho woTirf get tn thron?ThTTT^cF^
vations made from this lofty point are
sent to almost every enlightened
European nation. The station was
established here in ?ugest, 187?, the
special object being to learn some
thing about 'he upper currents of the
atmosphere. The principal instru
ments used aro the barometer, ther
mometer, hygrometer, anemometer
and tho rain gauge. One of the most
remarkable phenomena seen on Pike's
Peak is the electrie storm. A corres
pondent of the New York Tribune re
cently visited ihe summit signal sta
tion, and to him Mr. Brown, the ob
serving sergeant, thus describes these
storms:
"They generally hegiit with bail,
and last from half nn hour to four
hours. The whole atmosphere is full
of electricity. Sheets of fire arc every
where. Sparks crackle about your
clothes and in your hair, nnd fill the
buffalo-robes aud the bedding. The
electricity comes through the roof,
through tho windows and up from the
floor. It veor?K ax though you aro in
a hnttery. Tf yon go out-door?, a cloud
of electricity rsstssn the whole Peak.
It eemea from the rocks; the clouds
are full of it. Th? lightning plays
belew in fearful intensity. One's hair
literally stands en end."
Mr. Brown also stnted that he had
seen the frost a foot deep all over the
summit, on windows, doors, rocks, and
particularly on metaU. Sometimes it
gathers on the telegraph wires to the
doth of eight inches, and frequently
breaks the line and Htops communion
tion. Such are f-omc of the features
of life on Pike's Peak.
Parson Brownlow, llie lite-long po
litical antagonist of Andrew Johnson,
in speaking of the deceased, says that
"in one nspeet, at least, ox-President
Johnson was a model statesman; he
was honest." Mr. Brownlow further
remnrks that this was one of the
principal reasons why he was so strong
with the mntses: "His personal integ
rity nlways gave hi* political policy
special weight." In concluding his
excellent and magnanimous article on
his old political antagonist the ex
senator says :
"What he had was justly his own,
and be came by every dollar of it
honestly. This trait iu his character
is worthy of emulation by all public
men. His boundless success is evi
dence that the American people ap
preciate honesty in their rulers, ami
that when they find such reward them
with their conlidence and support."
