The Winaebagoes.-W have been informed, by
a gentleman who spent several days at Chicago,
during the month of March last, that, while he was
there, information had been received through the
Potawatamies, who inhabt the country to the North
of Chicago, and with whom the Winnebagoes are on
very friendly terms, that belts had been sent by the
latter, during the past Winter to theSoux, and
gent invitations to help them to drive the white ia
ces out of their country. The Sioux could not be
induced to join in the proposed war; but promised
the Wnnebagoes that, if they should be too weak to
stand against their enemies, they should find hiding
places in the country of the Sioux With this answer
the Winnebagoes appeared to be satisfied and i'm
medately sent invitations to the P0tawatamies to
join them in the war which they were to commence.
So strong have been the proofs of the hostile in
tentons of the Winnebagoes, that DR.. Wolcott, the
Indian Agent at Chicago, has written letter to
the proper Department, for the purpose of getting
force stationed at that place for its protection. Or.
w. it is known, has heretofore deemed military
force at Chicago wholly unnecessary and he was
always slow to believe in hostties by the Indians
But he is now SO we'll assured of the hostile feel
ings of the Winnebagoes, and so we'll convinced of
their reckless character, that he deems it unsafe
for the present inhabitants at Chicago to reside
there, unless military force is sent for its protec-
ton 1t is supposed that the death of Red Bird,
recently, in the prison at Prairie du Chen, (confn-

to the irritation which is felt by the Wnnebagoes,
they determined, it is said, to look upon his execu-
ton as the signal for hosties against the Whites.
Some may think it singular, that handful of In
dans placed Just beyond the bounds of our settle
ments should have the temerity to engage in con-
test with power capable of annihilating them in
moment 1t might be supposed impossible, that
they could be SO ignorant of the strength of ma
ton, to hazard such enterprise. Yet it is true
and although three four of their warriors have
been transported through the most popuous parts Of
country to the Seat of Government, and have re-
turned to their People, and told them of our num-
bers and strength, still they not believed by
these proud and incredulous savages, who say that
the white faces have succeeded in bribng those who
went among them, to tell good story for them, &C.;
and they really believe that our country is very
thinly populated ; that the settlements are small
and vast distance from each other and that it re-
quires all the resources of our nation to maintain
our posts in the vicinity of their country. These
the opinions of large majority Of their warriors.

RAIL ROAD IRON.
From the National Mfeligencer, Ma

From, the National hatelHgencer, l1ay "a.
final and fruitless effort was Yesterday made
by Mr.. Barry, in the House Of Representatives, to
obtain the consideration of the bill, which has pas
sed the Senate, for renting the duties on iron i'm
ported for the use of rail roads. If any thing could
have conquered the repugnance of the House to
slider it, the good hundred earnestness of Mr. Bar
ney would have affected the object. We do not be-
eve, however, that the bill could easily have pass
ed the House of Representatives, against the strong
representations of the iron-masters and their friends
We believe however, that the projected rail road from
Baltimore to the Ohio is object of such great in
terest that it can hardly fail at further session. to
obtain the aid of Congress, in the manner. (by
subscription to its stock as Congress has afforded
aid to the projected canal for uniting the waters of
the Atlantic and the Mississippi.
| Road across the Zst1tmus.-The New York Daily
Advertiser contains the translation of note, adj
dressed by the military Chief the department of Pa
mama to the British stating that he is commissioned
| by the municipal government to superintend the
opening of new road from Panama to Porto Bello,
in order to facilitate the over land communication
between the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, He safes,
that the true distance between these places is twelve
English leagues and miles-that the route of the
road does not exceed IA leagues $50 yards--that
three parties of labourers, of 60 men each are en-
poyed in opening the road-and that he hoped in
March last to transport the mail by this route, and
to have points marked out where cutivators may be
located. The editor of the Advertiser says that
mairoute across the Isthmus is thought by many in
tegent men advisable, and that it may be con-
structed at about half the expense.
SIMpL1crTY.-At the marriage Of Monsieur the
Count d'Arois, the city of Paris agreed to distrib
ute marriage portions. A smart little girl of six
teen named Lise Norin having presented herself to
inscrbe her name the list, was asked who was
her lover sOh, said she, with great smplisity, Il
have no lover; thought the city furnished with ev-
cry thing This being told the Count worthy hus-
band was sought out for the girl, and her marriage
portion doubled.
