ST. LOUIS, Missouri Sept. 90.
Tie Nor Ouer.-Ihe gratifying in
tslIIgence has been received in this city,
that the W~innebagoes, alarmed at the
formidable preparations which nave been
so energetically made against them,
have repented of their late outrages. AS
a preliminary to more satisfactory "a
tenement, two Of the chief participators
in their atrocities, have surrendered
themselves to the proper authority. Ma
ny Of the principal men OF the nation
were present, who manifested a sincere
desire that reconciliation with the whites
might take place. Gen. Atkinson, with
the force under bis command, was pro-
ceeding to the Portage, where a june
ton would be effected with the troops
from Green Bay. In the conclusion OF
this affair, such arrangements will, we
hope, be made, az to present a recuf-
renee of any future aggression. The
show of this formidable force, so sud.
denly concentrated 10 the heart of that
savage region, will have the happy eff
feet of awning the refractory and eVll-dis
posed Indians.
This information will be received
with pleasure by all classes of citizens;
but particularly by those who have EN-
parked in the mining establishments at
Fever River, and VINO have been Undue
ed by exaggerated representations to
suspend their operations. Such stipula-
tons will be Immediately entered into
with the neighbouring Indians, as will,
IN future, secure them from m~olestatlon,
and give %permanency to this valuable
trade.
Gen. Gainesleft here in the steam boat
Josephine, on Thursday last, for Upper
Mississippi, for the purpose Of inspect.
ing the troops, and the establishment Of
a military post at Prairie des Cheins,
We understand that Gen. Gaines ex-
presses his entire satisfaction with the
course pursued BY Gen. Atkinson, in the
prompt measures which he has pursued
against tina Indians Republican.
The Salem Gazette mentions the oc.
%currence there ofseveral outrages, com
mitted after a training exhibition:-"One
of which, it adds, twas of so daring and
dangerous a character, that we hope
no exertion will be spared to detect and
punish the perpetrator. About eight
O'Clock in the evening, a musket ball
was fired through the door of Captain
Thomas Whittredge's house, in FEEDER
al street. Fortunately no person was
in the range of the shot, or a loss of lite
would probably have been the conse-
quence. Another deed of a peculiarly
mali gnant character, was the tearing
down and mutilating the tents of the
Cadet Company, which had been left
standing on the common to be dried.
This act must have been performed late
at night, as some of the company in
spected the tents at ten o'clock and they
were all standing in good order then.
The Indian war at an end. - We learn,
from a traveller, tha, Col. Mckinney,
of this city, arrived at St. Louis on the
18th Sept. from the Winnebago country
lie brought information to that place
the Red Bird (the principal war chief of
the hostile band of Winnebagoes) toge-
Their with a young BRAVE of the same
band, had been given up to Gen. Akin
son; the W~innebagoes had sued for
peace, and had promised to give up all
the party which made the attack on the
keel boats, and committed the murders
at Prairie-d Chen, &e.-Not int.
1t will be recollected that a few days
ago, we mentioned that an innkeeper in
Washington street, of the name of John
Hogle, came to his death, by reason OF
arsenick administered to him, by a quack
known by the cognomen OF Doct War,
rem; and that said Warren had fled. In
formation was, on Tuesday, received al
tue police office, that the Doctor was at
Cumberland, and Mr. Meigs was des-
patched after him and he was brought to
this city Yesterday, and after being
briefly examined, was committed to goal
for further examination. Warren re.
presents himself as having received an
Education at Dartmouth college, and as
having pursued the study of medicine
with DIR. Baylles, of Dighton, Mass. from
whom be says he obtained a license to
practice physic.-AU Dqi .adu.
