Capt. Craig, Of Shawanoe town, went up
the Illinois river with eighty men, expecting
TO join Gen. Kuss.il, but did not fall in with
him, and he (Craig) PROCEEDED on until he
came to the old Peoria town, 30 miles above
the one destroyed by Russell, where he was
fred upon by some Indians, whose fire he re-
turned, and made good his landing without
the loss OF man. He met with no opposi-
ton in the town Chose who fired on him hav-
ing made their escape.) He took forty-two
prisoners, got large quantity OF iurs, des-
troyed their houses and property, consisting
of large barns full OF wheat, cribs full Of corn,
and gardens full of cabbages. He also took an
English trader there. The prisoners he has
delivered up TO Gov Howard, and has safely
rc,urncd--so that all is not unsucc essful."
