In the county of Arson, N. G.. two miles

PREPARATION FOR BATTLE.

The battle-array of large army is q
most noble and imposing sight To ses
the hostile lines and columns formed, and
prepared for action; to observe. gene
rails and mounted officers riding smart
ly from point to point, andtomark every
now and then, one of your own guns O.
pening on your own staff, accommodating
them, is scene very animating, and q
fine prelude to general engagement.
On your own side, too, the hammerins
of fints and loosening of cartridges; the
rattle fguns and tumbrils, as they come
careering up to take their appointed
stations; and the swift galloping ofaid-
de-camps in every direction here bring
ing reports Of their generals, there con-
yeying orders to the attacking columns,
all speak of peril and death, but alss
of anticipated victory !, and so cheering
", that sensation of proud hope swells
the bosom, whichis equal, ifnot superior
to the feeling of exultation in the secure
moment of pursuit and triumph.

MADAGASCAR.


Extract of letter from a young gem
tleman, dated,
".St Denis, Bourbon, April %, 1928. !
II spent nearly four months at NADIA
gascar, and thus had an opportunity of
observing the manners of people new
to me. The Malagash are a spright-
ly people, and possess much shrewd-
ness and native intelligence--and am
convinced, that if the arts of civilized
life, and the advantages of education,
could be introduced among them, they,
might vie in many respects with any
people on the globe. But they seem to
be deficient in steadiness & frmness OF
mind. Many of them are remarkably
eloquent, and would excel as orators
This may be attributed to their frequent
practicle of speaking in their Cabars, or
meetings of their chiefs and principal
men, where disputes are settled, and
Justice administered. In size they at
least equal Europeans or Americans
They are generally well proportioned,
have agreeable featurs, and frank, o.
pen air in the countenance. Their COM
plexion varies from olive to nearly
black. The hair is curly, the nose is
rather broader than that of whites, and
generally less prominent, and their lips
rather thicker. But their appearance
differs very considerably from that of

INDIAN WARFARE.


letter from Fort Atkinson, Council
Bluffs, dated the Goth, June, written
by an officer on that station, by whtch
it appears that Colonel Leavenworth,
with a detachment of 204 regulars
500 Sioux Indians, and Q pieces o.
artillery. were to proceed the follow
ing day to the Aricara village for the
purpose OF chastising the savages who
had so treachcrously murdered the
men belonging to Gen. Ashley's par
ty In addition to what has been
published, this writer states that "the
Aricaras have built around their town
ssstrong row of .pIckets, and thick
mud walls not OF sufficient strength
however to resist our cannon, the
country around them being well situat-
ed from the operation of artillery. A
battle is unavoidable, as the Young
Ara, or grey eyes, the Chief of the
Aricaras is determined not to allow a
white man to pass their village if he
can prevent it, and is most blood
thirsty savage one who has always
been opposed to the trading business
on the river, and the late massacre, as
ii may be called, will no doubt make
.hem place greater confidence in their
skill in the art of war than they real
ly possess.
Major Henry and Mr. Immel,
both belonging TO the Fur Company
are, it is supposed, en- tleir way down
the river from the Mountains, and
should they reach the Aricaras before
US, / fear they will be cot of, as they
are unacduainted with the hostile dis
position of Indians towards them
This instance of treachery and bar,
barity in the Aricaras has excited SO
general hatred of them that l believe
should we be successful, they will re.
ce;ve no quarter. / have been assign.
ed to the command Of six pounds gun,
intended to commence the action in
the front, assisted by band of Otos,
while the infantry with the other large
guns upon them from the right and
left we gain hill which is on the
right of their town--their death peal is
rung. At any rate it is impossible the
expedition should fail, as the Aricaras
are at war with almost every tribe
around them, in consequence Of there
friendship for the whites as the Ari.
caras are good marksmen it is impossi-
BILE we should all escape, as they are all
armed with long British muskets or
rifles.
On our way upI expect we shall
be Ioined by about 100 warriors Of the
Sioux nation, who are at war with
them, and well acquainted with their
mode offghting. Should l be fortu.
nate enough to return, | shall trans.
NIT a detailed account of our proceed
ings, and hope to give brilliant
character to our expedition. It's sup
posed by some, that the Stocks, Foe
es, or Paunces, will attack the fort
in our absence, if they can learp the
number oftroops leaving it; but | think
their fears are groundless, as they are
acquainted with the strength Of the
garrison, where 100 soldiers can keep
out as many thousand Indians. Our
cantonment is at present a scene of
hustle and confusion making prepare
ton for the war, and never did | see
soldiers more animated at thoughts of
conquest, than are the troops at this
post"
