INDIAN MuRDERs.-Th Davenport Gazette
states that quite an excitement has been Gre
ated at Red Rock, by the murder of three In
dians. 1t seems that two Indians of the Sauk
tribe stole the wife of an Iowa chief, and
brought her down to the cline" The chief,
having got word of the transaction, immedi-
ately came to Red Rock in pursuit; here an
encounter took place, which resulted in the
death of the two Saukies." Old Pash-pe-ho,
one Of the war chiefs Of the Sauk nation, hear
ing of the affray, commanded a party Of his
men to take the chief, and punish him for the
murder. The party, upon catching the chief,
bound him to tree, and with the sharp edge
of a tomahawk inflicted deep wounds upon
each side Of his neck just below the ear. In
this situation they let him lnger for the space
of an hour, he all the time beseeching them
to kill him, and end his miseries. They, after
a great deal of persuasion upon the part of the
chief, knocked him in the head, and put an
end to his existence. He was then taken and
buried with great solemnity, and a white flag
stuck at the head of his grave to denote that
he was person Of some eminence. So much
for savage life and savage justice.-G Galena Ad.

The troubled surges of the soul. the
strife is hushed-the tempest Iulls,
and all is peace. Yes, reader-yes,
there is a religion in the quiet scenes
and associations Of the burial ground
which is elsewhere sought in vain
And, when the symphonies of woods,
