iEVS OF THI2 WEEK. b'rom the Iogan$parl Telegraphy Ott inr pivvpvt As there appears to he much excitement i wiiu mc puunc in reiauou 10 me inuian pay i i . . ment, and as many reports are circulating through the country, which arc false and unfounded, we deem it necessary to lay before our readers sucli facts as came immediatly under our notice. On the morning of the 25th Sept., the A Kent addressed the citizens assembled on the payment ground, and with other remarks slated, thai flu- i-lufs in mnncil had appointed Messrs. C'jrusTaber and! v-i nun i ' uv i iiu n if C33J r- i i u! i iiuri iiiiu. Geo. W. Ewing commissioners to pay claims !

This led them to clolaid before the chief?, who were to decide ;ci observation; which soon discovered to what claims should ie paid, and as each them a naked boy, walking with the gait & in claim was presented, the individual claiming, the manner of a hunting animal, on the shore was to be called in the council house and ad-: of the lakes that abound in that region.

But immediately 'after, The discoverer attempted to approach him: and whilst the agent was absent, it was ob- but so soon as the wild lad saw him, he fled served that the two commissioners and the j with the usual terror of an untamed creature interpreter had laid aside some thirty-four j at the sight of a man, towards the lake, into thousand dollars as a part of their claims, and , which he plunged, diving and swimming had taken out about eighteen thousand doll- with the ease of an amphibious animal, ars, when Geh.

dividual from touching the money until the ; ciuiins suouiu oc investigated, l here was now a general rush towards the council houe, and if the scene that ensued was not of the siou order, it approached nearer it, than anything we have seen for a long while some were for taking the money and distributing it among the Indians, stating that they should pay their own debts others wished to have new commissioners appointed, as those appointed were too much interested whilst others were for appointing commissioners to Investigate the claims with instructions to paynone but those that were proven to be just. t i iii . . .... .-iter several addresses to the citizens by Col. Pepper and others, it was finally agreed j that a committee of five persons should be appointed by tlie Agent and Lieut. Siminton, whose duty it should be to investigate the claims the Agent objected to this, stating that he was not authorised to appoint any committee that did not act under the authori ty of the chiefs of the Nation, but consented -- tmvii, uui i-uiisciiicu j to lay the proposition before them, and if they consented, he would have no objection to nominate the committee. The proposition -... I I " 1 I r 1. . I r i i men i.iiu uciore me cmeis, wno requireu until ll.r. i - f ,1....,, .Il:i....i I :.. .... mini me next day to uelibeiate and eive an answer: on the ensuing day the chiefs assented and the committee was appointed; three were selected from the ground, the fourth t7 was thought p opt r to get from Logansporl and the fifth to be selected by the four already appointed. Owing to the appointment of the gentleman from Logansporl, nothing could be dor.e by the committee on that or the ensuing daj-. This occasioned some discontent among the citizens, but w hen the Agent assured them that an express had been sent, and that he would be on the ground by 8 o'clock on the next morning, they appeared lo be satisfied. In the mean time it had been thought f roper to send expresses to Iogansport and 'eru for troops, and the lirst intimation that the citizens on the ground had of troops having been sent for, was their arrival at Rochester, five miles from the ground, where they had been ordered to halt for the night. The arrival of the troops at this place, caused much excitement, not only among the citizens on tlie ground, but among the troops themselves the first felt as if their feelings had been outraged by the duplicity that had been practised on them by a few individuals and the latter felt iWmunl at tbp shnme. ful and base falsehoods that had been propagaieu 10 l.iuuee mem lo go out. 1 he next moi'llinsf tin- Irnnrs r.'fiwo.l In minli In tk ground, and after some misunderstanding with the officers as lo who should command them, they consented, at the request of the committee, to march to the ground under the command of Col. Pepper. After guarding the Indian shanty's whilst the Indians receiv ed their annuity of fifteen thousand dollars out of sixty-lour thousand, they marched as guard over tlie balance of the money to Judge Polke, where the committee were to investigate the claims which they did on the two following day s'. Instead of investigating the claims as they had been instructed, the committee, to make a long ninth r short, were satisfied to make an equal distribution of the claims as they had been presented. The money was distributed on Friday evening, and every man left for home troops, Indians litizms and all some phased and many displeased but am. agreeing that, from beginning to end, a greater scene of knavery and folly they had never witm s-ed. We shall say more in continuation of ihis subject next week. From le If atMngton Telegraph. WILD HILL, Ott THE MISSISSIPPI OR SOS. Although the story of Wild Bill may not claim parallel interest with the eloquent history of mind in the case of Caspar Hauser it may, nevertheless present one claim to attraction: it is literally matter of fact, without the slightest admixture of coloring of any sort and within the knowledge of citizens of highest standing in Mississippi and Louisiana. Judge Butler, of the latter state, is capable of furnishing many more details than 1 have been enabled to obtain. Although I Uave heard the oral seuiimenti or many persons who have seen the subject of the narr.

-'live. I am indebted mainly for the facts it ' contains-with which statement referred to, all

uniiormiy agree to one. of the first planters in the parish of Rapidas, in Louisiana. He I A ' . . - Decame a temporary resident at Woodville, In considerable villoma in ih intr; r ni;. . . . ... ...w iiiiLUVI VI 1UI3" sissippi, in 1811. Here lie first saw the boy etneu ii iiu uui, w no men resided with a Mr. Benjamin Kohins. He had at that time made such progress in learning to converse, tliat he was quite intelligible. It is believed that he had then been taked about eighteen months or two years. He was secured in the MUdsnni vnmn. ..II-.I tIT:l l I, Ml i. t ...... not far from the present site cf Pinckneyville. The circumstances that led to his be- - - - collected in a body to make an united pfEiri to lake him. After huntinir for I time, they at length discovered him under a pcrsimon tree, eating the fruit. As soon as he observed his pursuers, he fled as before, doubling the bush like a fox, and making again for the water. Excusing themselves by the motive, the hunters adopted their usual expedient for catching animals they put their dogs on the trail of the strange game. They soon tired him down, and brought him to bay. Though no metaphysicians to form mental theorems out of the rase of their new conquest, they discovered that the two-lee-gen, unieainerca creature, Had the natural instinct of fight-for he made battle upon tlie docs and men with the full amount f rmm age and ferocity that might be expected to result from his age and physical strength. But although he fought like any other animal, he was fairly caught and bound. He ....... il. : L . m is men, ujs supposea, not iar Irom nine j - a u iirtmu, tiuu pencciiy speechless, His form was slender, but well proportioned, and capable of extreme agility. His eyes' were brillian; his hair sandy, and his cm- . I I - . - ... years o.d naked, and perfectly speechless piexion uona; a circumstance which may be nrl C C I ; i- ,J accounted for, from his having lived almost entirely in the deep shades tof the forest. tir i hi .i ooovuie was me nearest considerable settlement.and thither he was rarrirfl ik experiment of demonstration. Eighteen months or two years after his capture the period as I have said, when my informant first saw him he had still a look perfectly indicative of his name. He was yet tri'M, although he could now make himself understood. It was more diflkult to overceme his appetite for raw lksh, than to learn him to speak. The love of the excitement of alcahol seems lo be another common appetite of the man of nature, for he soon manifested an unconquerable longing foi spirits in any form, especially when rendered very sweet upon which he became intoxicated whenever h; had an opportunity. Whether he discovered the usual development of the other animal propensities, my informrnt does not know; but he always remained a wild animal in the fierceness of his temper. When playing with lads of his age, the moment his passions were roused in any way, his first movement was to strike them with whatever instrument was nearest at hand. After tin's partial demonstration, they attempted lo put him at work, bul he showed a truly savage disrelish for labor. He was sure Immediately lo run away; generally making for the town where his principal amusement was to mount on horseback whenever he was allowed the opportunity. Hiding was his passion; and he would mount every horse in a livery stable in succession, merely for the pleasure of riding them to water. In other respects he was quick and intelligent. His appeaiance was rather agreeable and in his favor. The training which he receiv ed was either unfavorable to a good moral developement. or it had been originally denied him by nature; for he became quarrelsome, addicted to drunkenness, and not at all a lover of the truth. Consequently a grent deal of doubt and uncertainty must rest upon the history of his early recollections; though thev were so often repealed, and so nearly in the same form, as to have gained credence w ith the people among whom he lived. He stated that he had a dim rpmi-mliinnro nr B Willing down the Mississippi with his father's family A I 1 at ..I ft . . . H uai noai mat the boat landed that his father killed his mother, and that he fled in terror into the swamps, expecting that his father would kill him also; and that from that time he had subsiAtnl t berries, living in warm weather amomr tl. cane, and iu cold weather in a hollow tree. It is extremely unfortunate that so few details remain of the domestication nnd character ol ild Bill; though it is hoped that this imperfect account may call forth from the persons with whom he lived and died, ampler and more satifactory information respecting him. It is believed that ho died when at the age of 18 or 19. that i. hp k- tio. - n JCOI lOlOj alter a domestication of about nine years.
