On the. evening of the 4th of July, 1811.
two families of emigrants !Men be seen
tented for the night at the "Pacific Si•rimr,"
on the main trail from Ili souri to Oregon
and Upper California. They had lett in
dependence, the common poitit of deLarture,
and then one thou s and miles behind them.
in company tt fill a much more numerous
baud. But dissensions had occurred, as
must always happen in the absence of i.rov
erninent,or executive physical force, and the
vMuntary organization split into fragments.
which latter, however. continued to ru.l up
warts, like the broktin pieces of a flyifiLr
under the iutpetus of their original projec
tion. These two fatuities, disgusted with
the obstinancy' and riotous spirit of their
comrades, had determined toadvance alone;
and being provided with excellent teams,
and many loose mules and oxen, so as to
rest their anitnals by frequent changes in
the wearing service of their journey, they
had been enabled to reach the first fountain
which mingles its waters •vith the western
ocean—and hence called ••the l'acific'Spring,"
some ten days sooner than the remainder of
the band. Thus they were in no danger of
being surprised in the Sierra Nevada by the
premature full of an automnal snow, a most
dreadful contingency, which pioneers are
most anxious to avoid.
But the forwmrd movement of so diminu
tive a party was hazardous in the extreme.
lo all, they numbertA only a dozen person's.
four of these were small children, and the
rest 'adults of opposite sexes, in equal pro
portions. Their energy, prudence and per-
Severance, in spite of the hostile and thiev
ish savages that hovered around their way
had carrried them safely thus tar, hall the
distance of their route of twothousand miles,
and *nuld probably have borne them to the
settlements of the Sacramento, had not `lt
casuality intervened, as unexpected us it
was impossible to forsee or resist.
In the na•an time, the little band, not con
scious of the impending danger, al neared to
he in the happiest mood, cooked theirirMgal
slipper overa fire of "buffido chips," amidst
jokes, laughter, and.scraps of forest song,
and indulged the while in the brighWst an
ticipations us to "the promised land" before
them. . .
About. sunset, a youth and maiden stoned
from their camp, and ascended tine of those
tall elevations, which overlook and command
the celebrated ....Stiuth Pass." The view
opened into indescribable grandeur and sol-.
elfin cksolation. Immense plain's anti men
sureleas mountains extended wide . as the
cirCumference of sight, and the whole glit
tered in the red rays of evening, nil if sprink
led with a babtism of burning gold. But
the finest poititia theglorious perspective
was the noble Pass itself—that great gatesin
'poetical Department.

ROCKY MOUNTAINS.
the mountain Wall—so easy of ascent, that a
railway might be run without excavation, to
the very key of its gentle arch, and so ex
ceedingly broad, that all the armies on the
globe might deploy within its area, and
neither wing of their mighty line would
touch the edge of its enormous gap. .
The loVers, (for such they were,) looiced
till they were lost in emotions of sublimity,
and in blended ecstacy and devout awe pres
sed involuntarily closer to each other. Then
their two hearts throbbed togethe as one, and
the musical boats of their warm life-pulses
became a chime and choral anthem, for they
saw the name of nature's God sculpturvd on
the mute marble of ten thousand rocks.
What mattered it, that both were indigeni
nus products of the far frontier, and clothed
in smoke-tinted leather, and course-thread
ed home-spun ? That did not bar them
from love and worship, any more than from
dew and sunshine. Ile was brave above
f, ar, and she was beautiful Iwyond words,
Hence their love was youth's necessity—as
natural as the emission of odor from flowers,
or as the coming of flowers at the call of
May.
.What a crrand church for our wedding!"
whi,pered Henry, us they gazed down on
th, it white canvass tents, beside .-The
Pa
cific Sprizio," whence arose Wu tinicoig
melody of .inu'v-bells, and the ringing mer
riment of chiidren's voices.
Enuna's t..cul was iu her; but she au
swer,;tl only With a smile amid a bush.
.
"You remember your promise," continu
ed Henry, emade one month ago, at the
Grand Island of the Platte, to be toy bride
at the first fountain flowing towards Califor
nia; and . there it is. That sweet spring
sends its icy rill to Green River, which,
lower down, is called the Colorado of the
\Vest, and empties its waters into the pearl
producing golf."
At. the instant, the lovers started, for both,
at the same time-, discovered several dark
looking objects in the south, towards that ex
traordinary butte. which has sineo rocuivod
the name of "Jacob's Tower." Their first
thought was of Indians. But a nearer a.-
proach of the moving forms dissi c ated all
apprehension. They appeared to be a heard
of elk leisurely grazing in the siaort wild
sage Of the sterile plain. The emigrants
were ignorant of the singular fact, that cite
prairie Indians frequently assume the •skins
and shapes of the various animals, and in
this strange metamorphoses take the unwa
ry traveller by surprise.
As twilight gradually deepened over the I.
earth and sky, the youth and maiden de
scended to their-camp. Supper was soon
despatched, and all prepared lor the nuptial
certailim . j.. Ennui's fatht.r, a B dui-a min
ister, officiated as chap'ain. It nay yeadtiy
be cmiceived that few IU x uri es lia , l been
provided fonthe occasion. Such occasions
are common among pioneer parties. Some
delicious butlido :narrow wits handed r attui.
and surpliA the place of sugar-coated cake.
!'hero were no torches or torch-bearers. But
the rising moon in ble an excellent lainti,
and the stars resplelident candles. The
scene had intense national - significence. It
was a symbol worthy of the profoundest
study ; for, if emigration is - the pivot of
American progress, holy Matrimony is the
main-spring of emigration. llence, a wed
ding among emigrants, in the Gate of the:
Rocky Mountains, and on the Fourth tf Ju
ly, was in itself sublime. .
The congratulations of friends were scare
ly over, when a dozen Indians., entered the
encampment. Their appearance excited no
alarm, as they were nearly naked, and des
titute of weai.ons. They said that thee were
Utalis, and offered for barter a peculiar sort
of bread, composed of dry sett& of wild sun
-1 flower and grass-hoppers, in about equal
quantities, pounded, mixed and parched to
gether. Such an article of food would, of
I course, find no civilized purchasers. P.re-
I
. course,
these hideous savages were joined by
a still oreater number, all in the same, un
i warlike condition, with the exception of one.
'This was a huge. giant-limbed barbarian, in
!aspect very•ditTerent from his comrades.
l A profusion of matted hair hung around his
broad shoulders, and a bristling• beard cover
ed the' lower I art of his Thee. II is body was
i clothed in deer-skin, and his ferocious coun
tenonce seemed absolute!♦ fri,_!htful, front
m
the stru , obliquity of his little grey eyes.
Ile was obviously a white man turned sar
titre. The , wretch looked on the emigrants
I with a sini ter expression, boding evil for . -
w i le , till hi s !dance fell on the new bride;
when his features contracted into a. diaboli
cal smile.
At' the moment, Emma recognized him,
and screamed, "It is Bill Moore—the mur
derer of my brother !"
immediately the outlaw gave aloud whoop
—the preconeetted signal--and the .whole
band 'oflndiuns sprang like so many
,mad
panthers, and grappled with the emigrants.
'The latter, both men and women, resisted
with the bravery of desperation. The odds,
however, was too great; and in a brief space,
they were all overpowered, tied with cords
of bark, and lay helpless on the ground; at
the Mercy of their captors. Then, at the
command of their renegade chief; the Utahs
broke into pieces all the rifles they could.
find, and prepared to depart, leaving : Wl the
NUMBER 22.
i les. fast, bound, and carrying with them
the females. The shrieks of the poor •wi:t
men, .as they struggled in vain with the
naked 'areas which dragged them away.
were most piteous to hear; while the hor
rors of the hour were increased by the cries
of children clinging convulsively to the bo
soms of their mothers.
The case seemed hopeless, when a third
party arrived on the mournful theatre. The
brilliant light of the full moon revealed a
large company of Indians on holseback,
dashing rapidly towards the camp. They
were headed by a beautiful young- female,
dressed in a buckskin shirt, pantaloons, and
moccasins, adorned with many tasteful gold•
en ornaments, whose graceful figure sat
upon her fine steed with fairy-like ease and
elegance.
..Sos hones !Soshones !" shouted the Utah
giving way to a panic of ungovernable ter
ror, and flying off in all directions, leaving
their prisoners astonished at so strati* a
deliverance. But there was one who did
not let go his victim. The refugee, Bill
Moore, seized the fainting form of Em
ma. and sca!ing., with incredible velockw
bori to; eminence, disappeared withtlffi
Hein, burden beyond its tall . summit:
The minute after, the friendly Soshones
reached the scene of recent outrage, and cut
Luise the cords with which the captives had
been tied. hand and foot. The lovely lead
acr of the Snakes wild:tined. by signs, and
some few words of broken English. that the
commander of the Utahs was her husband,
and had that morning gone out, und&the
pretence of hunting, when she was inform
ed. by a comrade, of her false lord's inten
tion to carry otra white woman, during the
night, from the South-Pass—a woman whom
he' had seen the previous day, on the Sweet
Water river, and recognised as one he had
loved before his exile among the Indians.
This intelligence drove Henry almost dis
tracted ; and, as well as he was able, by
(!estures, he told the other that her husband
j
itiad borne away his wife—pointed out the
course they had talcen, and entreated her to
pursue them, and suffer him to attend the
coin pally.
The dark eyes of the female Soshone
lightened with the fires of jtialonsv and re
v.•ngt;. She instantly provided Henry with
afl iet horse. Ile found his ride, which, by
good luck, hail escaped the general mutila
tion and having mounted the hardy steed of
ate prairies. the whole hand of Snakes dash
ed onwards• Making a short circuit around
the hill, over which 13111 Moore had passed,
they soon, reached the level plain, and ob•
tained a sight of the fugitive, who was gal
loping oft on a strong horse, that doubtless
ha I b •o•t cott , ..atii.l for the present purpose,
ald the dieter of the w girin:•rits oil the•
wind proved th o the victim b rent; in
the abhorred rid •r's lap !
The Soshone w tovio uttered a piercing
yell, and the pursuer a u L 7monted their speed
to a r.tt.• which ntpidly daninished the tits
tatice betwixt th.•ni and their object. The
chase extended south. in the direction of the
spiral , shap. d brtfle, now known as "Jacob's
Power;" and as the troop neared it, the fe
lon Was not more than one hundred yards
ahead. • llis escape seemed impossible, for
the rocky structure was of considerable
height, and its irregular sides looked steep
as the walls of a house. Hence even the
savages were astonished when they beheld
Moore leap from steed, and still suppo •
the weight of his burden, began to
the extraordinary h a ul. He had d
ed a narrow and difficult crevice, tilt
bled him to climb to the top of the precipt e.
Of the Snakes, notwithstanding the en
treaties of their female leader, drew back,
afraid to attempt the dangerous elevation.
But henry pauSed not a moment: Cling
ing to his rifle, he urged his way up the
haw/ling cliff, and .by the utmost exertions,
at last succeeded in gaining the dizzy sum•
Init. Mire an appalling spectacle met his
eye. Moore having despaired of eluding
the pursuit of the Soshones, was endeavor

unprovided with w,!apons. which fie_ had
lost in his ha-ty flight, the human fiend was

lips to his own. They wore covered with
white foam, and felt chill and frosty. • Her
blue eyes were closed. Ohl what a horror
that so•mach youth and beauty should per,

'• But a few minutes of gentle pressure to
that warm and gentle bosom, of which she
was sole queen and idol, served to re-ani. ,
