Mr. Editor : Paving read the editorial in your paper headed "Tragical," and finding several important points in the account in correct, I beg to be heard by this communi ty and the world, being yet a living avitneas for both the living and the dead. For the sake of the andirialreLh - - ten:-L-for thilialie of aged parents and elf my kindred—for the sake of my children and myself, and tin: the sake of truth, I thank God that I yet live. In the first place, the article alluded to says that '•Mrs. McLean was induced to em brace the, Mormon raid' by Mr. Pratt."— Tim! tv false: for s Mr. McLean knows that the M u aertutut 1 luaudln California, himself and iny brother, J. J. McComb neve present, and they know ii I%as at least two ea• s helot e Mr. Pratt made his appearance in ;inn Francisco; and they know that from the time I heard the first sermon- I never spoke except in defence of the Mormon& and their faith ; and they know that I sought chi !gently for my husbands consent to hem bap tized into the church of thti saints, and final ly obtained it in writing, and was , haptized before P. P. Pratt made his appearance-- Thew are facts which the certificate in AL: Lien's own writing, and the daily papers in San Francisco announcing Mr. Pratt's arri val, can he lii ought to prove that my bap tism and confirmation in the church of the ant. I lI.P to the arrival of P. P. him in that State. I will here state a fact which ha, never, to toy know ledge,liren n mien. I took my children from the schoolroom, (with the permission of the terichnr,) end in an (mini ) bits repaired to the place where there was I water, and in the presence of several wil -1 nestles they vet re (that is the two boys,) baptised by P. P ljratt. for the remission of sms t and by the laying on of his hands they r were confirmed members of the Church of “Latter Day Saints." If any cundeum this refuses to go to perdition with her children, Just beesm., 11,21 husband mak es this choice! Again, your article represents Mrs. Mc trim rrwetuphig Miff safl rricrieface to Tlab a ith Pratt., and after her elereinemt her pa n role jorl.bco w. them. This is also false, and my father, J. S. McComb, if yet living., Is a witness, with oar neighbors in both places, that the chil dren w ere petit from me in California to him New Oilcans, and that on a ship— =I =1=1!1:71 IVhere there wets Dot ono tnior or fore, That the) tied ever beard or lore in other t 1 .00 In November. 1851, 1 embraced the Mor mon faith, and in Jantiarl, 1855, my chil dren were, on account al my faith, sent from San Francisco to New Orleans. and this wiii- Out my having the slightest intimation of it until they were fir upon the sea. In the morning, as was our custom as soon as their father left, (generally about 9 o'clock) the dear children clapped their bands and said, "Now, Ma, we can have a good time, Pa's gone, we can sing and pray as much RS we ei "' And they did pray that morning as 1 had never known an infaneta pray I They kissed me and said, "good morning, mother dear," about 10 o'clock, and started for school. At 3 I looked for their return ; I raised the curtain, I opened the door to look if Albert and Annie were coming, but oh! my soul they never came ! At 4 o'clock their father cams to Inform me that they ware an their way to New Orleans. Said, '1 put them on board the Sierra Nevada at 10 o'• dock this morning, and now they are where you and the cursed Mormons can never coo them again'" That night ho locked all the doors, locked me in a morn, took all the keys to his room and locked the door. Can any one conceive of that desolation cries diaturtml and about 2 o'cllnik he unlecied the'd7x.ir of the-room where I was. In the morning I went from room to room, I ran in the street and.called Fitzroy, Albert, Annie. But no child answered, I heard tiny k.otsters tinder the window, Iran and said my children ! But they wore not mine. My brother, E. C. McComb, said I should go by the next steam er to my children, but McLean said he have nothing to do with it. A merchant ire San Francisco told me he would give rpe $2l - 1, and he would insure that in his neighbor hood of merchants I could raise in ono hour I -all the means I would need to go to my chil dren. After this, McLean boasted that I was in his power, and ho would see whether I could go or not.

I ii‘ligaged to cook fur a mess of ten persons to defray my expenses, - Alia thus 1 journeyed across the plains to Salt Lake city. I I remained just one year, leaving on the mi nis ersary of the day (11th September, 1855) 1 mg% ed. W lulu there I taught a school. 111 which I taught ten of P. P.

On the 11th of last September, I left in a eunipany ui udiudonanos consisting of ats..us twenty elders and twelve females. I trav eled in a carriage with two- elders and one lady, making four of us. I furnished my own provisions, and. cooked for theinfire three, for the priVi'ege of cithrtg. At St. Louis 1 Lorton cd of church funds and proceeded to New Orleans. It was my in tention when I left Salt Lake to go to my children, and get thorn it I could. That I have (lone r hat I could, and all I could, I call Heaven and earth to witness. I got on board..thoste.em cars with my children at my father's on Saturday at 12 o'clock, to go on business to New Orleans, a distance of five or six miles. In front of the St. Charles I hired a car riage for five hours, expecting to leave Oil a steamer fur Galveston, Texas, the next morning at eight o'clock, but to my great discomfiture them was no steamer to leave before Thursday. I stayed ath my viol ren mat night, Siidny and Sunday night, at the United States Hotel, kept by Mrs. Smith.

She said her hus band worked oti a towboat, and would not be at home till Thursday night. We stayed at this woman's honso,“tY days. She gave us her best bed, loanad me her cooking utensils, and gaol me wood to cook with, and then helped to carry our little trunk to the omnibus. But she never asked us where we came from nor where wasw,erv 4 going, which I think wry remark able for one of the sex.
