Dear Sir have for tome time past been
threatening to write 10 you, TO let you know
how well | am pleased with the Ruthyen
Press, improved and made by you 4; but a
variety Of circumstances have prevented it..
have had it in constant operation three
months during winch time nearly all the
printers of this city, and number of our
most ingenious mechanics, have called to ex-
anime il. They have pronounced it as COM
plcte in every respect, as any machinery
they have ever seen.
The following is the idea have of it,
No Printing Press has ever been construct

done in given time.
The exertionof working it is no more than
healthy exercise for a boy of Is years of age.

WGr.-A letter from Winchester, Mis-
souri,, of the 18th Of April, says" The
militia are ordered out en- nsasse, to go to
New Madrid. There is likely to be some
serious difficulty with baud Of the Shaw
anee Indians at that place. On Friday
last Mr.. Davis, from Tennessee, and
Mr.. Chandler, were attacked by the To-
dians: Davis was killed, butchered and
scalped; Chandler was mortally wounded.
The whites from the neighborhood went
10 pursuit of the murderers; and although
one was shot and slightly wounded, they
made their escape. They, however, sue
ceeded 10 catching three Of the party, who
were not Immediately concerned in the
murder, and brought them into town, New
Madrid, where they are now under a
strong guard. Three others afterwards
came in, and held council with those
confined. One Of them seems to be the
principal chief Of the band. II was agreed
by them that the two murderers should be
delivered up in four days, and the three
prisoners should remain under guard until
that promise was complied with. 1t is
since ascertained that they only wanted
time to collect their whole party, which
consists Of between one and two hundred;
then 1t is their intention to come in and
take their companions without ceremony
