On Saturday night last, Gen. Herman
dez's two negroes, Alcck and Stephen
who were taken by the Indians in MAY
last, returned, having effected their cs-
cape ON horseback. We have not seen
them, but we learn that they state tina,
there is a great deal Of dissention in the
nation. The Chiefs are willing to give
up, but the young warriors arc avcrse
to it; that they have plenty of amlnuni-
tion, that Philips tribe at Topkoliky
have not been disturbed, and that they
have force Of more than 400 fighting
men That in the attack upon the breast
work a, Lake Monroe they lost Que Kill
led and three wounded, and that the par
ty did not know of the armislicc. A re-
port prevails among them that Gen. Jes-
sup, in holding out the offer of u talk,
intends 10 gel them, hand.cuT them, and
ship them off. and this has prevented
their attending. Many of them are now
going South with their families. These
negroes arc to be examined in relation
to the correspondence which has been
carried on with the Negroes in town
aud much interesting information Is cx-
pectcd to be obtained from them. They
are in prison.

papers has heretofore been far below living

Miami of the Lake has taken correct stand
in this matter. lie h1s raised the price of his
paper to what it should be, and announces his
determination to abandon the business, rather
than continue at former prices. The great
rise of every article in trade is assigned as
the principal reason for this ch1nge in the
terms. 1t is correct, newspaper proprietors
generally will have to follow suit, or abandon
the business.
