HORRIBLE MAssAcRE-rwo HUN
DRIED AND TWENTY INDIANS KILLED.
We learn from Gov Lucas and another
gentleman, who came passengers on the
Iowa last evening, that two hundred and
twenty Indians were killed in the upper
country about the lst inst. The facts as
they were related by young gentleman
who was at the treaty were as follows =
The Sioux had invited the Chippewas to
meet them at st. Peters for the purpose
of making a treaty of everlasting friend

and they parted apparently good friends.
A large party ofthe Chippewas were en-

the Sioux, who commenced their butche-

the battle terminated. the Chippewas lost
one hundred and fifty at the falls, and
twenty on the ST. Croix. The number
OF Sioux killed on the occasion amounted
to about fifty. We do not much wonder
