Merited Justice-A white man whose

person with an Indian dress, was shot near
Daniels Inn, IA miles from this place, by
DR. Turteloit, while attempting to make
his escape from the guard. He was taken
prisoner short distance this side of Buffa-

who had just plundered, and set Hodges
brick house on fire.-He was known to be
prominent leader among the Indians,
stimulating them to the commission of the
most wanton and cruel barbarites. There
is but one wrong attending this transaction,
that is ever taking him prisoner

This moment we have received the fol-
, lowing official army report, dated Gera,
