Roman. witnessed scene here, few
days ago, which, in my humble opinion.
puts the story Of Damon and Pylhias quite
i; The shade. A party Of Indians were re.
Gently discovered by some Of our troops,
who succeeded in capturing three Of The
men nd several women and children, num-
beriug in all abon, twenty, fed. The cap
lives were brought TO this place, where
they were in,crrogated by the Colonel, du-
ring which i. was discovered that two OF
them had been concerned in killing and
burning a mail rider, some time in March
last. They were told that for This conduct
Of theirs they would be hung in fifteen
days, unless within that lime The rest OF
their people should come in. They were
then placed in chains. and were permitted
TO send out thc third man Of their party
with talk TO bring in The resi- of their pco-
Pile, while they themselves were commit
ted to the guard. The man thus sent out
returned in five days, bringing with him a
warrior by the name Of HOiati Firico, and
some women und children, among whom,
were The mother and sister of one Of the
prisoners, whose name is Idicj Hadjo,-
The scene that followed may be dramati-
zcd thus:
