Kclaulsah, the Chippewa Indian. who muir
dcred Doctor Madison, near the Manitoowacll
river, on the west side of lake Michigan, las
summer, was brought to trial at Detroit before
the supreme court held at that place week
before last, found guilty and sentenced TO be
executed the 9th of December next. A plea
was intcrposed TO the jurisdiction of the court
on the ground of the independent sovereignty
of the tribe to which he belonged. The prin-
ciple involved was similar to the case of Tom
my Jenny, which has been pending before
the supreme court of this state. The plea was
overrulcd by the court as insufficient.
kewabskim, Menomine Indian, was also
tried for the murder of Charles Ulrick, at
Green Bay. He was found guilty, and SEN
fenced TO be executed on the same day.
DETROIT, Oct. 1e.-Agreeablv to notice
published last week by the .Sciaicnsn Co,npany.
the Exploring Committee departed on Tues
day last for the purpose of examining a great
portion of the country lying within the PENN
sula of Michigan. The gentlemen who com
pose the party, it is believed, are competent
to the arduous task they have undertaken.
and much valuable information in relation 10
the country, will doubtless be collected
1t is peculiarly favourable to the interests of
the territory. that measure like that entered
upon by the Sciawasa Company, should be
taken at this time-for, so far from our citi-
zens having hitherto been able to spread a
knowledge OF. the advantage of this territory
to any considerable extent among the people
OF the eastern and northern states, it NAV be
said with truth, that general ignorance pre-
walls relative to them. Indeed, the traveller
from Michigan is frequently asked, (by per-
sons whose standing in society would seem
to imply at least knowledge Of the gcogra-
ply OF their own country,) 'if Detroit belongs
TO the 81 iiish, or the United States
In addition to this want of informatior
among the people of the eastern and northern
states, in relation to the vast advantages of
this territory. its interests suffer not little by
the fasehoods which are circulated by indi-
viduals who are interested in the settlement,
of the vast tracts of wild country that border
Lake Erie below the Miami. IT is not seldom
even at this day, that the traveller hears the
territory OF Michigan described by these inter
ested gentry, rs acold and dreary country, un-
mt Tor the habtation of man. But il is consol-
ing TO reflect, that many men of intelligence
nave VISITED the territory, and can refute these
ISLANDERS by opposing remarks drawn from
personal obseryation-and that we have al
ready received considerable of population
rom the most fertile and beautiful part of the
state OF N. York-that amongi the families
that have recently emigrated to the Territory.
by Tar the greatest proportion Of them possess
competency, and have purchased considera-
bile tracts Of land-and, (what is of coDse
qucnce to be known abroadl that in almost
every instance, before family emgrated, the
head, or some trtstv agent visited the country
to spy out the land, and returned ,oeH pleased.
IT IS also great consolation TO know that the
sp,rit Of inquiry has gone forth, and that much
solIcItude is manifested by enterprising persons
to obtain correct information on all topics
which most Immediately concern the einigrant.
From the number and theintelligence ofgentlc-
men who have visited our territory from the
wester5 part of the state OfNew York, jts in
tterests have been benefited, and the inhabitants
III that part of the state have received much
valuable and correct information respecting
the advantages of the country.
