1 The Governor has ordered company OF
| Riflemen, completely equipped, from Gener-
| al M'Arthur's corps, TO march TO Grecnyille,J
and another 10 Picqua, 10 protect the frontier
inhabitants, who are flying in every direction.
They have both marched 10 their place of
destination. 1t is supposed that not less than
one hundred families have fed from Miami
and DARK counties, in consequence OF the
late hostile conduct OF the Indians
Young Kill Buck, the supposed murderer
OF the white man that was killed near Green
vile, has been taken by the whites.
Ii appears that :he two Indians that were
killed near Grcnyille were Putawatamies
one OF them hsd a scar on his leg, apparently
just healed from this Circumstance it is sup
posed he was iii the battle of Tippccanoc.
BY an express from fort Wayne we are in
formed that the wounded Indian had arrived
there /; the only wound which he received,
was in one OF his hands, which it was suppo-
sed he would lose. The killing of those two
Indians had excited more sympathy than all
the numerous depredalions committed by the
sayagcs on our defence!ess frontier for many
years we are glad to be able to state, that
this impression is wearing of, that our coun-
trymen are beginning to manifest some sensi-
biliiy for their uhte brethren.
Mr. Johnston, by order of the Governor,
held council with the Shawanoc chiefs from
Wspacanetta, on the 9Th last. at Picqua
The chiefs as usual made great professions
of friendly disposition and Mr.. Johnston
expresses much reliance in their sincerity.
The battle of Tippecanoc should have des-
,royed all faith in Indian sincerity. Mr.. Muir
ray, who resides in the Indian country, and is
perfectly acquainted with them, assures US,
that messengers have been constantly passing
and repassing between the Prophet and Wa
packanetta. We most fervently hope that
our countrymen may not again fall sacrifice
to Indian dupliCiiy. 1t is vain 10 council
with them, or to talk any longer to them a
bout determination they have learnt that it
is all clustering.
Yesterday, Generals Gano and Cass arrived
with between six and seven hundred men.
The army now at this place consists of about
fourteen hundred troops, large majority Of
which are volunteers. We expected to have
been able 10 lay before our readers, an accu-
rate statement of the number OF volunteers
and drafts af.er taking considerable pains to
procure such statement, we found the. task
impracticable for this weeks paper. Captain
Mansheld's light infantry company, and Capt.
Sloan's troop (both volunteers) and two COM
panies of regulars from the eastward, are ex-
pected here in few days.
Governor Hull, Of the Michigan Territory,
who has been appointed Brigadier-G General
In the new army, has arrived at Cincinnati
from the City of Washington. Gov Hull
despatched an express to Vim
ccnnes to hasten the departure of Col. Boyd's
regiment OF regulars they are expected
here IN few weeks, and il is supposed the
troops will not march from this town, until
after their arrival.
Marietta, (Ohio,) May 9.
Extract Of a isfter from Cahf. John Sharh, to
Griffin Greene, Esq. dated Cincinnati, IL
hrl SO, 1912.
We arrived here on Wednesday and arc
joined by nearly 200 men of this place. Next
Sunday we march to Dayton--all goes on
well SO far---it is certain that six thousand
Kcntuckians are ready to join us, and Cover
nor MEIos has received orders from the
War OtRce TO raise five thousand more men
in Ohio. The different detachments Of this
expedition will join us at Dayton, and proba-
bly, the Kentuckians will Join Us there also
then let the English and their good allies the
Indians come on and we viii teach them to
dance jigg to Yankee doodle, or I am much
mistaken. Our men are in high spirits.
Governor MEIos has exerted himself to the
utmost and is an honor to himself and Ohio'
Iroohs.-On Sunday about fifty recruits,
destined for BoYD's regiment, arrived at this
place in escort Of Gen. HULL, Governor OF
Michigan. We are happy to learn that Col.
BoyD and his regiment, are to accompany
the regiment to Detroit. The number Of
troops will amount, i, is said, to about three
thousand strong.
