owed to those friends, replied with spirit
:" will not compIomit my own honor, nor

There is evidence enough that Mr.. Cal.

mInistration which could hardly have had

The katybrag monntnins.) The road cross
ing the outlet Of the lake plunges a. once,
after passing the clearings, into deep and
wooded defIe, the very ground where real
Indians would have lurked, and which was
left uneuarded by the few mock heroes of
the blanket. Steele and Parker, it seems,
actually succeeded in keeping their assail.
ants at bay. with couple of Colts pistols,
until they had gained this forest covert,
when, putting spurs to their horses, they
were soon cut of the reach Of the rife,
and gained the inn at the lille village of
Andes. The country around swarmed
with antl-renters, and they dared not ad.
vance further towards Delhi, still fifteen
miles of. Scarcely had a messenger been
despatched ihther for succour when the
house was surrounded with the infatuated
" Indians" These last, however, pausing
before they made the attack, organized
themselves into a regular public meeting,
and passed formal resolution to seize

They proceeded to enforce their deter.
