Council Bluffs, Dec. 80, l838.-The Sioux

in constant hostility. This war was continued
for about goo years. So the Indians here (the
Po,tawatimes) say. The Pawnces, in war
expedition into the Sioux country last Februa-
ry, took u prisoner Sioux girl only IA years
old, whom they kept about two months until
corn planting, and iattened her as they would
a hog. They then determined TO make sac
rifce of her. This they kept to themselyef-
Two days before the sacrifice u council of eigh-
ty of the warriors and head men Of the nation
met TO see whether they would accept the offers
of two traders Of the American Fur Company
who offered them valuable presents iP they
would release her TO them, SO that they might
let her return home. But all would noKdo. a
majority of the council was for the sacrifice,

At the breaking up Of the council the prison
Ter was brought out, and accompanied by the
whole council, was led from house to house;
when they gave her small billet of wood and
la little paint which she handed to the warrior

cry wigwam had contributed some wood and
paint. On the 22d of April she was led out 10

ground did she conjecture her fate. They had
chosen the place between two trees which
grew within five feet of each other. They
then made her ascend the three bars tied across
from tree to tree, her feet resting on the bars
below, where a slow fire kindled beneath would
lust reach her feet. Two warriors then mount
l. ed the bars, and there standing one on each side
oil her, held fire under her arm pits until she was
almost dead Then at given signal they all
shot arrows in her body SO that hardly PIN

This was done before she was quite dead Then
the principal CHEF took piece OF her flesh and

In ascending the Mississippi river, few
miles below Memphis, on her voyage hence 10
Louisville, the steamer Diano was discovered
to be on fire. The moment the alarming fact
was known, the matches were closed and coy
cred over with wet blankets, to arrest the pro-
cress OF the fame, which was about bursting
from the hold where it was first kindled. The
boat was rounded to, and her head turned TO
the shore. In few minutes she was ut the
land. The passengers and deck load we're then
safely deposited on the bank. The captain
and crew afterwards proceeded to extinguish
the fire, nwhch they succeeded, but not with
out the most strenuous exer.ions. The boat it.
self sustained little or no injury, but all the
cargo in the hold was more or less damaged -

The following remarks on the horrors Of

being the concluding sentences o! an article on
the Eastern border troubles:
"Wor is no child's play. battalion Of

menals, in fronto( the State House on Boston
Common, with their sparkling armor and their
gded epaulets, and all the charms ofthe soul
stirring bugle and deop-toned drum filling the
air in the month Of June, is very pretty affair.
But battalion ofmen calling themselves chris
tans, with the fcrocty of tigers, dealing death
from a thousand blazing cannon among men
like themselves; sirewing the fields broadcast
with the mutilated, the dying and the dead, and
then raising their arms, crimsoncd with human
gore, in tho feId-Iike eXuliaiion OF conquest,
makes one shudder with horror, and distrust
ones own identity as human beng, and ask,
in the tone of the Angle in Franklin's fable,
who, coming down to the earth in the time and
ON the very spot of a battle between two fleets
in the West Indies, whom he saw the decks Of
the shios despatched with blood and brains, and
saw the headIess trunks rolling about and the
scattered and smoking limbs, and heard the
roar Of cannon, and saw the piercing OF the
bayonets in boarding, whether this can DO

Of twenty-one years ofagc, shall annually and
every year meet together for the purpose OF

of age, belonging TO said tribe, shall be entitled
to vote, for the purpose Of electing their Coun-
Gil" At this town meeting there was warm
contest between Ross, son of the well known
Tobias S. Ross, and another Of the tribe. Ross
defeated his opponent. The defeated candi-
date remarked, that although elected, his time
was short. In the evening, he was seen by
two white men TO stab Ross, who fingered until
next day, when he died. The murderer was
Immediately apprehcnded and committed tc
