AaO,her Indian Mrder.-We learn iha'
Taxa au.ka, the leader Of the PolIce' a. 'no ''''
ofthe killiny Of James Starr, was killed lew days
since. The following are the circumstances 's
we learned them: Ta.ka.,au'ka, with many o'hers'
were cncamped round fire, and, when TAXA,
,au.ka was riding round stick, which he called
.OId Jim Starr, somo unknown person shot h''n
s,abbcd him thrice, scalped him, and made ms
escnpe. Another story says, that no was por.
su,ded 10 leave the camp under the pretenco Of
,e,,n, louor, and was killed while away from
his companions. Again, we fear, there WIN com
mepco series Of murders by both parties. The
friends of Ta.ka.tau.ka will certainly take re-
,enco on some one, whether he be the real OIL
fender or not and in return, tho friends oil Starr
will be equally sure TO kill some OF tho o'her
PARTY. ---.-----
eSrWo arc told that a large body Of Cherokees
advanced upon old Fort Wayne, few days since'
demanding the "Siarr" boys, evidently thinking
that This place was manned by Stand Waties
= -.s..-~s., s1s'''r' ""ie
there concealed. The Cherokees had left short
timo before, and the for, was occupied by COM
pany of U. s. Dragons, the officer commanding
refused the party admission when they dispersed.
GrWo fear that there will bo much more
blood shed in the Cherokee nation ere long, as
tho parties have again commenced depreciation
on each other.
GTJohnson, white man, the supposed mur'
derer of Fish, a Cherokee, who was killed a short
time since OF Evansville, was arrested and ordered
to be imprisoned to await his trial for the offence,
bull has madehs escape. We hope the uuthor-
ties Of Washington county win use every exertion
to secure his apprehension, as the murder Of Fish
is one of tho mos, cruel and cold booded transac-
tons tia, we ever heard Of
OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.
Our readers will find in another column the
letter of our Minister a. tie Court of ST. James,
as submitted, with other documents, by the Presi-
dent; and from il will learn the true state of af.
fairs between This country and England upon the
Oregon question. The long debates in Congress
upon the expcdiency Of giving the notice have
brought forth many facts in relation to our right
to the territory in question; and while some have
opposed the measure and advocated a compromise
Ills strange that moi one has denied our rights te
the whole territory. They advocate tho com.
promise as a peace measure, which in their esti-
nation, seems of more importance than tho ma
tionai honor, or our just and clearly establishe,
rights. Tint VIC should abandon ourrights mere
ly for the sake OF maintaining peace with an
or oil powers, is an idea which no American wi
for moment entertain; and that the busterin
or preparations for war made by England wi
havo any effect upon the American people,
what we cannot believe. The President ha
taken stand in which he will be supported b.
the people; and that our interests will be aban
doned for the mere sake of gratifying the nsa,ia,;
appetite of English ambition will not be credtet
or countenanced by any wol Informed mind
We regret TO say lha! thore are somo who woulc
meanly barter for peace, and through fear o
Po"St udScIk tHilt WHICH u
justly ours. If England is disposed to act in {
fair and candid manner, why we see nothing tt
lead us 10 apprehend war; but should thoy per
sist in their unjust demands. why then we sa,
maintain our rights and honor at all hazards. |
war mus, come, why let US have it at once, an
show TO tho world, that 10 the maintenance of ou
rights tha, tho Americans support i, en- masse.
