Like the prophet of Mecca, the inspiration came upon him in the solitude of space; like him, he re ceived inspirations from the spiritual fountain-head ; and, like his olden time prototype. had to suffer perse cutions for introducing his new and novel Ideas on a Christian world. , It would he difficult to conceive what hardships and privations these earnest believers in a new-born faith were subjected to in their march of hundreds of miles through the wilds and fastnesses of :Missouri, with pre datory enemies. red-skinned and white,to con tend with on every hand, while they themselves were mostly from eastern homes of comparative ease and comfort. 011 a sultry .Tuly afternoon, having traveled over four hundretlemiles, they pitched their tents on a low, marshy spot, a few miles from the present site of Inde pendence, county-seat of Jackson/to. Mo., and near the river 'Missouri; on the following morning . at sunrise, having previously -elected a spot on the highlands whereon to locale, they moved up to neenpv these grounds, thereto rear the infant faith for which many of them had sacrificed happy homes and domestic felicity. A tab ernacle—always their first ambilion was commenced, :It the proper sea ,,on cereals were deposited in the ground, and for a period they lived comparatively free from molestation of any kind. The Fad effects of the lottg journey through a wild and in trietaflle wilderness was painfully manifested in the haggard and tat tered appearance of these fugitives from the wrath of their fellow-min trytnen. But health and spirits rap idly revived under the bright pros pects now opened to them, and a spir it of energy and thrift began to he an - parent that afterwards found a re warrLin the Salt Lake Valley. 'chic state of things lasted but a short time, however. Their envious persecutors—the Vandals who dog ged their footsteps, tearing down i t s fast as they could build up, bringing ruin and starvation in their midst were keen-scented, and hunted them down even here. Predatory in enr sions were made, habitations burned, horses and (tattle carried off. and their resources and dependeneies crippled and laid waste. Their neighbor ing opponents were too numerous to he met in open conflict, and even if such had not been the case, the Gov ernor of the proud commonwealth of •Misi.souri, about this time, issuctil a quaint and unique offie - ii calling out 2,:;00 militia to protect the laws of the State from infringement by n handful' of destitute people, whom had they been roasted and served up In the most fastidious Cannibal style, would not have made a square meal for such a force. Hence the Only subterfuge of escape for the v mor mons, was to flee the country, which they did, and, we may conjecture, greatly disheartened by so many misfortunes folloWina in quick suc cession. Leaving what afterwards became Independence, they turned their heads to the Northwest, seek ing a more congenial retreat on the western border of the Stale of lowa. 10223313 PIANOS, STATE AGENT IMMO I bl 3m ISE =ElinCI PITTSIIIIRGFI, PA From this time Independence be gan to lie mentioned as a town of some importance, conAequent upon the establishment there of a furnish ing post, for supplying the outfits of fur companies and free trappers, her traders receiving In exchange for the necessaries of life furs and gold-dust.

Many interesting reminiscences of the war in and around Independence are related with zest by the intitthil ant,i of to-day. From the deep val leys and dark gorges taishwfiackers would spot unwary foes, and guer rillas make flying incursions into the surrounding towns, enef - yingofr plun der amid the Nv i t panic of women and children, and finding a conveni eid and comparatively safe retreat in the depths of the intiivate hazel hush and dark forests. The whole south western portion of the State was swarming with detached squads fighting under a mythical flag; ene mies to all iron, and leaving a broad track of desolation wherever their marauding; expeditions led them, The principal stampiiig ground :old general rallying point of these migra tory bodies, was in the gloom of a pest dental swamp, near the hank of the Blue River, a beautifal limpid stream midway between Kansas City and Independence, fringed with a thick jungle of Inc .el and a taller growth of maple, beach, and cotton wood. I fere the wild and ur,discip ined ru n , ()wiling no allegiance, ca roused unmolested and divided their spoil, making sallies forth whenever the spirit of daring or appetite for ad venture moved them. Near this sp o t, where a light wooden bridge spans the narrow riv er, was enacted one of the most hor rid and blood-curdling tragedies ever recorded, and which only found its parallel in a brother's revengc--- prom pt and territile. Captain I,—, 1)f the Federal forces; under charge of a squad consisting of ten soldiers, tau reGel prisoners from Independence to Kan:as City way attacked in the dusk of the even ing while crossing the bridge, by a superior f4ce of Rebels. In the first vo;ley tired the Captain fell severely wounded, find although his men im mediately threw dawn their arms and virtually surrendered, the Fort Pillow massacre was re-enacted; and when the work Of blood was finished the bridge was fired, the well-season ed timber sending up a lurid glare, and the dead and the wounded were consumed in the flames, after first having been stripped of (dollies and valuables. A younger brother of Captain L.'s I , erved in the rebel army operating in Missouri; between them had ex isted no outward toketi of friendship since a question of principle had im pelled them to pursue different paths. Learning of his brother's inhuman death and et whose hands, love of kindred asserted itself, and his grief wit: - ; frantic. A furlough was pro cured and he started on a mission of revenge—a revenge, as be told me afterwards, in a broken voice—that would have caused the object of his hatred to waft his spirit to perdition with a little powder and lead, had he dreamed it was so inevitable.

It was just at the time of our greatest privation, when we had sent far and near to procure a subject, alibi found none forthcoming, that some of the class brought intelligence of a body which had that very afternoon, been interred in the cemetery adjoining the town.
