v thorn, and the volunteers from that place sSirted back for its protection. Whilst I am now writing, a party nas come in from Indian creek running into ox river, and about 15 or20 miles from here vhcrc thoy had been to perform the last melancholy duties to be paid to human bein a to 15 men, women and chddren, the victims of a most inhuman butchery perpetrated vcslcrdav morning, by the ruthless, inhuman barbarians. The men were mutilated bevond the reach of a modest description; the women hung up by the feet, and the most revolting acts of outrage and indecency practised upon their bodies. The children were literally chopped to pieces, and placed in the most revolting position; the houses were burned, the furniture all destroyed, and the stock killed, even the barn-yard fowls. The work of destruction and devastation has begun; the blood of helpless women and innocent children, fresh

and warm, reeks. Their cries have scarcely died away in the forests; and on the plains the deadly stillness of their yesterday's cheerful dwellings, speaks with a solemnity that almost curdles the blood of one not dead to a sympathy for his fellow beings. To see the agony and distress of these people t o listen to their tales of woe watch the smoke of their ruined dwellings, and then think of the apathy of some, situated beyond the reach of danger think of their ridiculing the losses and distresses of the frontier citizens think of their obeying the call of their governor, the call emanating from the field of distress and the sacred feelings of humanity; I say, to think of their obeying that call with cornstalks in their hands, as if to deride the shrieks and wailings of the sufferers, is enough to excite the honest indignation of every true citizen, of every honest man. It is enough to stir up the people to expel them with indignity form that country whose welfare and prosperity they thus contemn. The country should spew them out of its mouth. The Indians are in parties around us; they already know of our arrival with provisions; but I much doubt if they are strong enough to attempt an attack. The volunteers from your place arc in high spirits, ond if attacked, I have no doubt will give a good account of themselves and the enemy. We have gone on beyond Hennipen to this place Crozier's Landing to be near the army, which wants provision, fast as possible. Indeed, this river will form the line of operations, as furnishing more facilities for ih? transportation of troops &. provision than any other route. We shall protect the provisions until they are delivered over to the troops. There is a great scarcity of provisions all through the country; in fact, it is stated by all, that there is not more than ten day 3' rations for the citizens in this region. We this day left some flour and bacon for the citizens of Hennipen, who were almost destitute of every thing, and no arms to protect them, even in fishing for their subsistence. The names of the families massacred on Indian creek, were Hall, Davis and Pennigfew. I will also mention that two young, and said to be beautiful, females, 17 years old, were taken off by the savages ; their bonnets have been found, but their persons are still missing. Heaven protect them! Gen. Atkinson and the Governor are on Hock river, driving the main body of the army slowly before them, not yet strong enough to go into their strong holds with a sure prospect of success. The Indians are supposed to be making for the "Big-woods," when it is hoped they will assemble for a stand. Respectfully, your most obedient servant, R. HOLMES, U. S. Agent B. M'Carv, Editor Bcardstown Chronicle. The United States really present a very curious spectacle at this moment. While other nations are puzzled how to" raise the necessary funds to bear their expenses and pay their debts, we are about sponging off all our debt and feel at some loss how to reduce our revenue. Wc seem indeed to be as much at a loss how to curtail our surplus, as they are in supplying their wants. While they want millions to spend, we have millions to spare. At this vei moment too, while we are about to extinguish all our debts, and a jubilee presents itself to our enjoyment, wc are thrown by this propitious event into a slate of discord and talk of dissolving the Union and of a civil war a discord, and a civil war too, arising from this very event of a disenthralment from debt. This seems a species of paradox but we hope it will soon be terminated. Richmond Compiler. Accidents. Wc regret to learn that one of the Boston delegates to the little boys' Convention, reccnty held at Washington, vfrhile amusing himself by swinging on Mr. Gadsbyrs gate, foil from the top bar, and injured himself badly. Another member from the interior of this state, who had always before his visit to the scat of government slept in a crib, was put upon a bed unprotected by railings, from which he rolled on the floor in the night, and not only seriously bruised himself, but frightened two other delegates in the same room so much as to occasion great inconvenience. Boston Statesman. The locomotive engine Robert Fulton does all the work of transporting passengers on the Albany and Schenectady Rail-Road. Ten cars with 150 passengers were conveyed between the two towns in G5 minutes. The weight of the trains was about 20 tons. The Engine returned with six cars, in less than an hour. The Albany Advertiser remarks that "the road is indeed invaluable to the community The distance between J.h two places, by way of the Erie Canal, is 23 miles, and as the boats have to pass through locks, they generally consume t-diy in performing the trip. Baltimore American.

PAEjIiADI01. Xjawrcnccburgh, .lusic 1G. Pennon Law. The bill lately passed by congress, for the relief of revolutionary officers and soldiers, is given in another part of this paper.

CO" A meeting of the Directors of the Lawrenceburgh Library Company is to be held at G. II. Dunn's office to-dav, at four o'clock P. M. Tire War. We are still without any definite information from the army acting against the Indians in the west. The papers contain little in addition to the accounts already published. The excitement continues to spread, and volunteers are turning out in different parts of this state, and marchingior tne scat ot war. An express arrived at Indianapolis, asking aid for the protection of our north-westem frontier, which was followed by a proclamation or order from the governor, calling on the neighboring regiments for men. One hundred and fifty mounted reflemen from the 40th regiment rendezvoused at Indianapolis on the 7th inst., agreeably to the requisition, and proceeded to organize by electing their officers. II. Brenton, sr., J. W. Reding and J. P. Drake were elected captains. Each man was required to furnish himself with 20 days' rations, a rifle, 1 pound of powder, and ball in proportion, a tomahawk, scalping knife, &c. An additional force was expected at the same place on Saturday, from Hendricks and Johnson counties, when the whole was expected to move for Chicago. The Charlestown, la., paper, of the Sth inst., gives a report from Bloominrfnn n. erally believed, that an engagement took place between the Whites and Indians, on the 29th ult., in which the whites lost 110, and the Indians upwards of 300. The latest accounts represent Gen. xitkinson as moving against the Indians with considerable force, and there is little doubt that as soon as they should embody and make a stand, a battle would ensue. The report may possibly be true, though wo are much inclined to think the Indians would no where be found in force, nor risk a battle on equal ground. "Great noise and little Wool." An article lately found its way into the Statesman, said to have originated in the Cincinnati Gazette, stating that Mr. Plummer, member in congress from Mississippi, had made an assault on Mr Sladc, member from Vermont, in the capitol. We have looked for something in the Washington papers, in confirmation of the report, but not finding any statement of the affray, we are induced to believe the story a hoax a bit of domestic manufacture, on the part of our neighbor of the Gazette. The "national republicans" are to meet in grand council or convention at this place on Monday next, to nominate candidates for representatives and county officers. The Statesman calls this movement, on the part of the nationals, "dictating to the sovereigns of Dearborn county"." A short time since the same paper modestly charged the Jackson convention with dictating to "its menials in Dearborn county;" assun ing for the nationals, in consideration of their superior talents and character, the high title of master, and assign in? to the .Tnrl--sonites that of servant. The supporters of royalty used the same language to the Whigs of '7G, but when it came to the "scratch" to the pull for liberty, they found the "rebel dogs" an over match for them, both in the field and in the cabinet. We pretend to no prophetic gift, but will venture an opinion, that the "sovereigns" will still find the spirit of by-gone-days stirring in the bosoms of those they contemptuously call "menials." MAIL ROUTES. Gov. Hendricks has politely furnished us with the following list of new post routes, established in this state, by the late law.

Horse Stealing. On Saturday mVhtlast, three horses were missing from the vicinity of Harrison, in this county, under circumstances that induced a belief they were stolen. The owners and a number of other persons immediately set out in search of the horses and thieves, and on Monday succeeded in arresting two men at Madison bavin w in their possession the horses. They were conveyed to Harrison, and after an examination before Justice Godley, were committed for trial at the next term of our circuit court One "of the men is well know here, as of doubtful character, the other is, we believe, a stranger. Their names are Chamberlain and Groves. CONGRESSIONAL. In Senate Thursday, May 31, 1832. Indian Hostilities. On motion of Mr, Smith, the bill to reappropriate certain unexpended balances heretofore appropriated, was taken up, the question being on the amendment reported from the Committee, appropriating dollars "for the support of the friendly Indians who may seek protection within the Indian Agencies, in the North Western frontiers." Mr. Hendricks moved to fill the blank with $20,000. Mr. Tipton explained the object of the amendment, stating that it was rendered necessary by the situation of the Indians on the frontier. Mr. Clayton requested the Senator from Indiana to state, if it was in his power, the origin of the hostility of the Sacs and Foxes and other tribes, in the North West to the United States. Mr. Tipton said, in reply to Mr. Cs inquiry, that these Indians had been dissatisfied since 1829. In that year they sent a Chief and twenty men to the Agency, where he, Mr. T. resided; tho Chief charged the white people with expelling the Sacs and Foxes from their cornfields and cultivating them themselves; and stated that if the white men did not desist from these impositions his young men would injure the property of the white men. He Mr. T. wrote to the agent at Rock Island, advising him of the visit and its object. In 1S30, anotherparty made similar complaints; and he was further informed that the Sacs and Foxes went to Canada and received presents from the British government, and it v?.s his opinion, they are influenced by counsel from British agents; that this was produced by our government having inefficient agents who arc restricted by unnecessary provisions and prohibitions, and that if this Government did not send some efficient agents to that frontier, who were not connected with the Indian trade and Indian traders; and who must be clothed with authority to make such presents as they found necessary to meet exigencies; these difficulties would occur frequently, and would be the cause of the entire extinction of the Indians by the western people. Black Hawk and his followers entered into a treaty in 1831, by which they agreed to cross to the west side of the Mississippi and remain there. But as they arc influenced by bad counsel, and men have recrossed to the east side of the river in violation of that treaty, there inflaming tho neighboring tribes, and have actually made war upon us, it is now necessary that this band should be quelled or driven from the United States without respect or delay. That although it was true we have what is called our army, to defend us, yet it is also true that when we were invaded, and our people murdered, the western people had to leave their families and their homes and defend themselves, and it was necessary that this Government should act promptly and efficiently, in making this appropriation. With regard to the probable amount of the expense, Mr. T. could only estimate it from the number of Indians who would join the warjparty. The whole number of Pottawattamic3 was about 90C0, and of these about two thousand would join the war party: leaving about four thousand of that tribe that would probably come in and take protection. There were probably about two thousand other Indians that might also take protection. And, said Mr. T., if you will furnish us of the west with the necessary means, we are bofh abie and willing to defend ourselves, and protect the frontiers of the Union; but when we do so, we have reason to hope that Congress will not cavil with us about a few dollars. After some remarks by Mcssr3. Hendricks, Tipton, Kane, and other gentlemen, the question was taken and the blank filled with 20,000. On motion of Mr. Kane, $300,000 was substituted for $150,000, to defray the expenses of the war with the Indians; and then the bill was ordered to a 3d reading, and subsequently passed.

Breaches of Privilege. Ii is amusing (o see how anxious a certain class of congress men are to preserve the privilege 'of slendering, while they give themselves not the least concern about The performance of their

coubiiiuiionai duties. JLct the privilege ot slandering in debate be abolished, end the blackguards would bo as secure from assault, as the gentlemen always have been for they would mend their manners. Boston Statesman. Mr. Foot, United States Senator, from Connecticut, has been superseded by Mr. Smith who is represented "to belong to no party." The overwhelming majority by which the Honorable Senator had leave to retire to private life, must be gratifying to the republican party. Such a Foot should never have a track in a Congress hall. The people have kicked him oil of his hobby, and he is now left a oo, sure enough. A redeeming spirit must be awakening among the Green mountain boys we hail it as a bright omen. Pub. Adv. It is stated that a number of individuals has been arrested in Henry county in this state, on a charge of counterfeiting money. A large amount of counterfeit bills are said to have been found in the possession of some of them. No exertions should be spared to ferret out the individuals who are concerned in this villianous practice. The people in this country have already suffered much from the circulation of counterfeit money. Indiana Sentinel. MARIHED6n the 7th inst., by Mark M'Cracken, Esq.
