the objects of the expedition to the north

west this summer, under Col. Ilndwnf

the United States' Dragoons, have been

piomptiy and completely gained, viz

ine recovery ot the eight murderers who made their escape last summer from

prison at l ort Winnebago; and the re

moval ot the entire nation of Winncbr

go Indians across the Ouisconsin river

irom the lands ceded to the Tfmfn

States by the treaty last summer at Rock

island.

The Winnebagocs lingered till the last moment; leaving reluctantly the

mosi ucauuiui 01 countries, the lands on the Hock River, Four Lakes, &c.

and but tor the dread and resnect which

they evidently felt for the decisive movements of Col. Dodge, would doubtless have given him and the troop3 under his command no little trouble in hunting

them out, and forcing them over the

Uiusconsin. lucre were a few instan

ces ot small parties of Winnebarrocs be

ing enticed by certain troublesome tra

ders m the vicinity of the Ouisconsin to

return to the old grounds, but they were promptly taken "and escorted by Col.

images mounted men back to their

new country.

The removal of this nation has open

ed new fields for the enterprise of emi

grants. Hitherto settlers have been de

terred from locating in this country, and

the bold few who did erect their cabins

here, were in continual danger of attack

Jrom the Indians; the case is now chang

ed ; emigrants may as safely settle on the

Those whose business or inclination

never led them to view this part of the

country, can form no conception of its

ncauiies ana advantages, its fine soil (prairie) skirted in all directions by open groves of timber, and watered plentifully by the purest streams; added to which, is a climate remarkable for its healthiness. The regiment of Dragoons, it is supposed, will hereafter afford a permanent defence for the frontier setller, and I am confident it only remains for our citizens to know the new country and occupy it. Subjoined is the speech Col. Dodge made at the Talk held at Fort Winne

bago, June' 2, 1833: also the speech of U'k:.l: 'PI i- - i i. 1

juui iiruion, anu would remain un

til you delivered up the eight murderers who made their escape from Fort Winnebago last autumn ; at that time you made no reply to my words. During the lat month I have received instructions to make a demand of the chiefs of the Winnebagocs for the murderers of our citizen?, and to carry into effect the treaty made by you last fall with the United Stales' Commissioners at Rock Island. With a view to carry into effect the object of the government, to enable them to effect an immediate removal of your people from the reded lands, and to aid you to lake the murderers, I re

paired to tins place ten days aro and

j held a conference with your agent Mr. Ilviuziej and your interpreter Mr. IN ti

the ceded land-;, and the absolute necessity of a prompt delivery of the murderers lobe dealt with according to the laws of the country. I am pleased that you have taken the good advice of your agent and interpreter, and that you have delivered up the murderers. In this transaction you have acted in good faith, and have proved to the government, by your actions, that you arc disposed to conform to those friendly relations which should exist between different nations when iu a state of peace with each other. Your Great Father, the President of the United Stales, acts justly towards all nations, whether they be a strong or a weak people. lie Rsksof them nothing that is not right, and he will submit to nothing that is wrong; he will do justice to all the R.ed Skins. Had our citizens killed the Winnebagocs when in a stale of peace, they would have been punished according to the laws of the country. If your people kill ours, they must be punished in the same manner:' the laws arc made for the protection of all, as well as for the punishment of all who violate them: to haibor or conceal the murderers of our citizens is in direct

violation of every principle of justice and contrary to the usage of friendly

nations. Your agent, Mr.Kinzie,will now pay

you your annuity money; you will also

receive the rations to be furnished vnu

under a stipulation of the Treaty at Rock Island. I wish now to know from you whether

ui uie ivinneoagoes who were to leave the country ceded to lha United States

by the late Treaty, have actually left

me ccaeu country to emigrate to the

xMorin side ot the Uuisconsin River.

The United States' mounted Rangers have been sent to this place to see that

you until your encasements with the

Government, and it is expected that you will immediately on receiving your

annuity money cross the Uuisconsin

Kivcr.

I will in conclusion observe, that the

dark cloud that huno: over vour nation

has disappeared, and that the bright chain of friendship will remain unbro-

Ken so long as you are faithful and true

to your engagements with our Govern

ment.'

'WninuNo Thunder' next spoke, as

'rather! 1 shake hands with you as I would with our Great Father at Wash

peated all he said to our young men; what he requested me to do, I have done.

The Red men of the Fox River, have

no speaker; I speak for them: bad birds have been seen flying from the Sacs on the other side the Mississippi; I have heard of them. It is remembered when we were first a nation, our nation arose

on Lake Michigan: since then we have

been scattered there is a line between

us now ; we must each of us try to remain on our own land. I have taken my foot from off your land : I will not put it down

mere again; we will remain on our own

ground we hope that you will remain

on yours. We wish to be your friends as

long as we live; we wish to be our own masters ; w c wish to live in our own way ; we wish to live like Red Men; we wish no white men to control us; we were divided into two nations, (the Rock River

and the Uuisconsin Tribes,) but now we

arc all together, we arc one nation.

Our young men in your prison, were

delivered up to you by myself and the

chiels who are now before you. All

our chiefs present are proud to hear the

words you have spoken Ibis morning. I wish to remain with the younsr men

you have taken from us: 1 came from

them this morning to hear what you had to say to us: 1 wish to jro bark and

wish to bear them company. 1 hone

that the cloud which hangs so heavily

over us, will be blown away, and never 1 -v r

that you were coming, and we hastened to be eff; wc are all here but two families; you promised that the road should always be open lo us: we have a river and two lakes that, we wish lo get rice from: I hope the we between us" will continue forever.

erable distance from the house, he be- him, all of which operations wcrepcr-

came uneasy about them, and repaired

While sitting upon the fence, and giving some directions as to their work, he observed two Indians upon the other side of the field, gazing earnestly upon the party. He instantly called to the children to make their escape, while he should attempt to cover their retreat. The odds were greatly against him, as in addition to other circumstances, he was nearly seventy years of age, and of course unable to contend with his enemies in running. The house was more than a mile

distant, but the children, having two hundred yards the start, and being effectually covered by their father, were soon so far in front, that the Indians turned their attention entirely to the old man. He ran for several hundred yards with an activity which astonished himself, but perceiving that he would be overta

ken, he fairly turned at bay and prepared for a strenuous resistance. The woods through which they were running were very thin, and consisted almost entirely iof small trees, behind which it was difficult lo obtain proper shelter. When Morgan adopted the above mentioned resolution, he had just passed a large walnut tree, which stood like a patriarch among the saplings which surrounded it, and it became necessary to run back about ten steps in order to regain it. The Indians became startled at the sudden advance of the fugitive, and were compelled to halt among the saplings, where they anxiously strove to shelter themselves. This, however, was impossible, and Morgan, who was an excellent marksman, saw enough of one of them to justify him in risking a shot. His enemy instantly fell, mortally wounded.

From Lee's Memoirs . SINGULAR STRATAGEM. While the allied army was engaged before Savannah, Col. John White of the Georgia line, conceived and execu-

ted an extraordinary enterprize. Cani.. i ,i . . 1 - .

lam rrencn, witn a small party of the British regulars, was stationed on the Ogeechy river, about twenty-five miles from Savannah. At the same place Jay five British vessels, of which four were armed, the largest mounting fourteen guns. White having with him only Captain Etholm and Ihree soldiers, kindled many fircsdhe illumination of which was discernablc at the British station, exhibiting by the manner of arranging them the plan of a camp. To this "stratagem

he added another; he and four comrade

imitating the manner of the staff, rode with haste in various directions, giving orders in a loud voice. French became

satisfied that a large body of the enemy

were npon him; and on being summoned

by White he surrendered (1st of Octo krw v.'. at i t. i- ,

and one hundred and thirty stands of

arms.

L-olonel White haying succeeded,

pretended that he must keep back his troops, lest the animosity, already stifled by his great exertions, would break out, and in defiance of his authority ; and therefore he would commit his prisoners to three guides who would conduct them safely to good quarters. This humane attention on the part of White was thankfully received. He immediately ordered three of his attendants to proceed with the prisoners, who moved on

with celerity, anxious to get away, lest

man having no time to reload his gun, 'the fury of White's corps, believed to

oe near at hand, might break out, much disposed as he himself was to restrain it. White, with the soldier retained by him, repaired as he announced to his guides and prisoners, to his troops, for the purpose of proceeding in their rear. He now employed himself in collecting the neighboring militia, with whom he overlook his guides, their charge safe and happy in the good treatment experienced.

On Wednesday evening last, Tlicmas Massey and a negro man, commonly called Bob, met at a still house about six miles west of this place, (Connersville Jnd.) where they engaged in shooting at a mark. It appars from evidence as detailed to us, that the negro won all the change Massey had. Stung with chag. rin, he ordered the negro lo give it up, or he would shoot him. The negro refused, upon which Massey raised his gun, which was discovered by a young man present who caught the gun to prevent the murder, but was too late; the fatal ball took clleet below the right breast, which produced his death in thirty minutes. Massey has fled from justice. He h a Tomb-Stone cutter, and engraver, formerly from Tennessee, learned his business in Knoxville, in that State. He i? about 5 feet 7 inches high heavy setis long spoken says but little, and hail a countenance which serves as a correct index to his heart. A reward is expected to be ofTered for his apprehension.

Tho rencontre between Dewces and Cantain Wasson, it will be recollected look place on the day after the Presidential election, on account of some altercation which happened on that day and was supposed, for a time, would eventuate in the death of the Captain. Considerable excitement prevailed at the time, and Dewces was published by one editor, as a cold blooded murderer. We have been particularly requested to notice his acquitlaI,on this account. Captain Wasson, we understand, has entirely recovered from his wound. Ia. Democrat.

vantage of the awkwardness of the Indian, and got one of the fingers of his right hand between his teeth. The Indian tugged and roared in vain, struggling to extract it. Morgan held him fast, and began to assist" him in hunting for the knife. Each seized it nt Ihc same moment, the Indian by the blade, and Morgan by the handle, but with a slight hold. The Indian having the firmest hold, began to draw the knife further out ofits sheath, when Mo.

suddently giving his finger a furious bi(c, twitched the knife dexterously through his hand, cutting it severely. Both now sprung to their feet, Morgan brandishing his adversary's knife, and still holding his finger between his teeth. In vain the poor Indian struggled to get away rearing, plunging, and bolting like an unbroken colt. The teeth of the white man were like a vice, and he at

length succeeded in giving him a stab in the side. The Indian received it without falling, the knife having struck his ribs; but a second blow, aimed at the stomach, proved more effectual, and
