MURDER WILL OUT

Oar readers will probably recollect see
ing an account published few weeks
since, Of the skeleton of man supposed
to have been murdered, having been dis
covered in opening new road not far
from Geneva. The person murdered was
said to bea gentleman from New-Jersey,
who was travelling into this country with
a considerable sum Of money, about nine
years since. He put up at public house
in Gorham, in Ontario county, and his
friends were never able to obtain any &C.
count of him afterwards. The circum-
stances created considerable excitement in
the neighborhood at the time, but as no
clue appeared which you'd lead to de.
velofement Of the mystery, 1t had long
since subsidized and the circumstance was
almost entirely forgotten. The finding Of
the skeleton, however, led to an inquiry,
which resulted. we understand, in disco
very Of the transaction, and Of the person
who perpetrated the horrid act. A man
by the name Of Mentor, who kept the Ia
vern at the time that the gentleman dis
appeared, is ascertained TO have been the
perpetrator. Mentor, who moved to Ca
NADIA soon after the murder, left son in
Gorham, who, after the skeleton was
found, made the shocking discovery, that
his father was the murderer.
After residing several years in Canada,
Mentor removed from thence to Ohio. and
settled on the west branch Of the Char
grin. river. After the discovery requisi-
ton was made On the executive Of Ohio,

up the country should arrive. Afetter fall
ing into the hands Of general Mitchell, the
Indian agent, which states the Indians to
have been the aggressors, he suspected ifs
truth, and, on enquiry, found il was the
reverse in consequence, he made sasisfac-
faction to Inhemocklo, the chief Of Fowl
Town, and his people, forthe injuries they
had sustained; at the same time desired a
talk to be sent 10 our head chief, stating his
wish 10 see all the Indians, friends, and that
in twenty days he would send and get the
Americans to retire from the forts. But this
had no effect on the lawless inyadtfs Of our
soils; for, before the bearer of our talks
could return home, he met hundreds Of A
mericans descending on US. They have
also settlers and troops, which come IRON
Mobile, and go up the Appalachicola river.
Thus, seeing no end to these inroads, ne
cessity compeis US to have recourse to arms,
and our brethren are now fighting for the
lands they inherit from their fonfathers, for
their families and friends. But what will
carnations do without assistance Our ST.
news of war are almost spent (; and harass.
ed, as we have been for years, we have
not been able to lay by the means for our
extraordinary wants and to whom can we
look up for protection and support, but to
those friends who have, at all former times,
/ held forth their hands TO uphold US, and
who have sworn, at their late treaty with
the Americans, TO see our just rights and
privileges respected and protected from in
suit and aggression! We now call on your
excellency, as the representative of our
good father king George, to send US such
aid, in ammunition, as we are absolutely
in want of; and, as our brother chief Hill.
saJor, was informed, when in England, that
when ammunition was wanted, to enable
us to project our rights, your excelency
would supply us with what was necessary.
We have applied to the Spanish officer al
fort St. Marks, but his small supply pre-.
vented his being able 10 assist rs, and we
have only on your exoellency TO depend.
We likewise pray your excellency would
be pleased TO send an officer or person ia
lead US right, and 10 apportion the supplies
you may be pleased 10 send US, agreeably
to our proper wants.
lnprayng your excelency will lend an
ear to our demand, and dispatch it without
, delay, we remain your excellency's faithful
and most obedient friends and servants,
