According to its accounts certain number OF SOL

brutal and savage conduct towards the persons Of
two females living adjacent 10 the Post, and most
wanton in destroying, by fire, their houses and

and intercourse with the Indians around them

GIVE are happy to see the firm and decisive
stand which President Polk has taken in relation
to the countless herd of office seekers who have
infested, beset, and beseigod Washington and the
