Towards the Wiunebagoes, all parties of the Sacs and Foxes have an undying hatred.

After a full and fair trial of a year after the expenditure of an immne sum of money after the loss of an hundred men, and some of the most promising officers of the service it must be evident, that this rpgiment has failed in all the es senfial purposes for which it was created, and ought to be disbanded, or merged into the equally effect ive ranks of the lo fan try. We attach no sort of blame to ihe officer commanding, or to any one engaged in the service. He, and they, have done all that men could do in their situation. They have perilled life suffered every privation contracted almost incurable diseases under a burning sun--and all to what purpose? What great good has been effected, either for cur country, oi that of the Indians, with whom they have held councils, and exchanged She symbols f friendship and peace?

On Morula) night of lust week the family of Mr. Jo.-eph Baron, livii g in the township of Yo)dbridgc, abouL ihrte miles from Ilahway in this county, were alarmed after they had retired, by a loud thumping against the house. Mr. BV first impression was that some one was attempting to break in, but further observation soon undeceived him. The thumpiog however, continued at short intervals, until the family became so alarmed, that Mr. B. called in some of his neighbors, who remained up with the family, unlii ilHV-light, when the thumping ceased. The next evening-, after night-fall, the noise recommenced, when it was ascertained to be m sier iously connected wiih the movement of a servant gill in the family a white gii I, about four let n v c-ar ol age. While passing a window on tiie stairs, for example, a sudden j ir, accom panied with an explosive sound, broke a pain of glass; Ihe gill at the same mo ment being seized wiih a violent spasm This of course very much nl-trmed her; anil the physician (Dr. Drake) was stni for, came and bled her.

The circumstances were soon generally spread through the neighborhood, an"; have produced so much excitement, that the house has been filled and surrounded from sunset to sunrise every night for near ly a w eek . Every imaginable me ms have been resorted to in oider lo unravel the phenomenon. At oi.o time the girl would be removed fioci one apartment tn another, but without effect. Wherever -he was placed, at uncertain inter vals, tbe uibieii thumping muse would be he; i.l b the room. Sbe was, taken to n neighboiV iiouse; tbe same result followed.
