Honor among the I,adians.-T'he following
is related in the Richmond Compiler -
I When Gen. Scott arrived at the American
encampment in the North West. he found
J Indian prisoners--undes Il charge Of murder
ing the whites. The evidence was slight
! and an application had been sent on to Wash-
ington to obtain their discharge. But the
President had gone to the Hermitage, and the
Secretary Of War to Detroit. No answerwas
OF course obtained. In the mean time, the
! Cholera broke out among the American troops
| in the camp ON Rock Riser. Many became
victims. One Of the three Indian prisoners
also took it and died.
The General seeing the danger they were
exposed to. determined on letting the two sur
vivors out OF oonRnement-and told them iE
they would cODfne themselves 10 the island
| IN the river. he would permit them tn 20
there. Their word being pledged, he direcc-
! ed them to 90 TO the extreme part Of the ISL
and. where they may keep somewhat out Of
the way of our troops. They accordingly sep
arated to the quarter where he had directed
them to go-but they never once leit the ISL
and-althoDgh they might easily have made
their escape. Meantime the Cholera spread
and the danger thckened. The General then
told them that he would permit them to go
| to their tribe. upon condition that they would
| return to the camp as soon as he gave them
notice that the Cholera was gone. They as
scented to the terms, and went home.
/ These then were under charge of murder
and might have lost their lives if they were
| put upon their trial. But notwithstanding
this circumstances, the moment Gen. ScOtt
had determined to hold his great council with
| the Indians. he informed the two prisoners
that they must come in--aad they did not
hesitate to do So. They repaired among tho
| irst Indians to the Amefican encamunenf.
