LOUISVILLE, Nov. IA number of IN
dians arrived in this town few days since
from the Council Bluffs, on their way to the
city of Washington. Major o. Fal!ou accom-
panies them. Day before yesterday they
all assembled at Judge Ftzhugh's, and had
a war dance-the whole town we might say
was assembled to see them. Major O'Failon
held a talk with them: we did not hear the
whole of it. He told them they had travel
led long way and had seen much Of the u
nited States, but they had seen little to what
they would see-that they would see great
and pOpulous cities full of people, which would
convince them that we were Il powerful ma
tion-that they would have to undergo much
fatigue, but not more than he himself would
have to bear.

the army was kept together, and our indepen-
dcnce was finally achieved The amount of
the bonds was never called for, but it is well TO
