Since wrote you last, many occurrences have
TRANSFERRED that induce believe that serious dis
turbances will shortly take place this frontier.
The murder ofthree persons at the Miami settle
ment lately has taken place. The Indians in this yic
nifty appear to be in motion. The Ottawa h Chippe-
way tribes have actually left this place. and probably
will make ,eir stand in Maiden. Lar &c councils
daily held by the Indians that remain here, the re-
suit of which am unable to determine, they not
only exclude white people from them, but all those
OF their own tribes who understand English.
Runners constantly on the move from one tribe
are kept in circulation. The remaining Indians are
Offering all their cattle for sale at very reduced prices
and making every preparation for removing. The
inhabitants of this place are making their escape by
all possible eSertons. The probability is that m one
week there will not he a white person, perhaps not
an Indian within thirty miles of me except my in
terpreter who assures me he will remain with me
to the last. People who have, been here twenty or
thirty years now leaving the place and advising
others to follow their example. a friendly In(ian
the Othee day told us were 10 danger, and advi-

time seems fast approaching when this quarter will
be involved in all the horrors of a savage wal,
aud should there not be sufficient guard to pro-
tect the public property here, it will undoubt-
edly fall prey to their rapacious disposition"
The above extract affords lively picture OF the
danger which menaces our unprotected frontier set
