THE PoTAwATAMlE INDIANS.

We learnfrom ST. Louis, that the three Potawatamie
Indians charged with participating in the muir der of the
Hall family asst june ave been started on their way
to La Sale to be delivered to the authorities
that county for trial Gen. Atkinson informed Gov
Reynolds short time since, that these Indians had
been ident fed by the Misses Hall three of the party
who mureed their father and mother, and that they
had also cknowledged examination that they were
of the parts but denied any participation in the
ders. Cow Reynolds therenpon with characteristic
promptness took for bringing them to trial
before the state courts.

What will Mr.. Owen say now in defence of the 10y
atty and friendship of his Potawatamie charge? Evil
dence seems to be fast accommodating against himevi-
dence, too which it will be difficult for him to refute
And by the same evidence also apprehend the pub
lie will be convinced, if they not already, that the
governors o,non to the hostility of the Potawata
