The inhabitants Of Ills Town are in
greai c"nnnolion, III consequence Of the
following recent and lturrii transaction -
On Sunday evening Captain DoNie's COM
pany broush. III i've male Indians, who
we're tahcn shorl time since, on or near
PeihiGo river. He succeeded in taking
them as follows lie possessed himself
ofiiieir squaws and children, and through,
their means told The Indians ii ;lipy woni,
surrender, they should receive his pre-
lection, DC. and on these conditions they
surrendered themselves prisoners.
" Immediately Oh their arrival here,
they were committed 10 jail, having been
directed hg Capt. DOyles 10 the care Of
Gus shcriif.-On Tues,!ay morning The
sheriff thought proper 10 send iheIn TO
Fort Montgomery, aud addressed a line
TO captain boyics, saying Thai The civil
authority had no concern with Them, Dc.
aud proceeded 10 deliver Them nom Jail
10 guard, for the purpose Of escDrlng
them 10 Montgomery. They proceeded
only Two or three miles from town. where
they were all inhumanly murdered. and
left uninterred. The guard returned and
reported, that on t!eir way they we're met
q attacked by party OF men, who seeing
The Indians, Immediately fired aud killed
ihem.-Y esierdaS jury Of inquest was
held oil the bodies, but have mol yet r, .
ported their verdict. The popular and
prevailing opinion Of The majority of tie
people Is, hal they were willuliy and
barbarousIy murdered, by party pr, con-
ccfted Tor the horrld purpose. The friends
OF civil order have set their faces and their
opinions against the proceedings, and
seem determined that such gross viola
tons Of justice aud humanity, shall not
pass with impnniiy. a mob has already
made IFS appearance and excited much
fear and alarm among The people. | hope
the civil authority will succeed in putting
down all rioters and disturbers Of the {
peace, yet fear we shall have further
trousle, originating from The above pro-
ceediug." o.
