The Late Indian Fight on the Plains.

FORT RTDGIEY, NJ. T.. Aug. 20, 1854.
MEsSRs. EDITORS Seeing in some of the st.
Paul papers, rather remarkable accounts of a
recent battle between the Sioux and Chippe-
was, in which the latter suffered severely. am
induced to offer you the correct, and believe
true account of said engagement.
Some two months ago the Sioux commenced
concentrating at Red Wood for a foray amongst
the Chippewas. When all were collected whose
courage was equal to the undertaking, they
set out, keeping well to the west and beyond
the range, unless on war parties, of the Chippe-
was. When they neared the Red River, they
bore to the cast, and not very far to the cast,
of Otter-tail Lake,-surprscd large party of
Chppewas and killed fifteen of them, and took
one woman prisoner.
The Chippcwas were not a war party. They
were On their usual hunting ground, and had
their families with them, and when surprised
were bathing in lake, men, women and chill
drcn. They made no resistance. The most of
them escaped and tie Sioux, with The sca!ps of
men, women and children. hastily returned to
their own country. The Sioux think they kill
ed many more. but that the bodies sank in the
water and could not be found
This story is the one they tell themselves,
and is accredited in this region of the country.
1t is unfortunate that the pretty chaplet made
to crown the hcroism of the daring Sioux, who
so fcarlcssly exposed himself, should be but
fancy sketch. The generous narrators not only
give to the Sioux the benefit of their fancy de-
scriptOus, but extend them to the Chippewas,
in small way. Hole-in-the- Day is made to
figure largely, when. have no doubt, he was
hundreds of miles off.
Yours, &c,
LOOKOUT.

Which was received and~ ordered to be
printed.
The following communication was received
from the City Physician, viz:
To the Hon. Mayor and Council Of the City
Of st. Paul.
GENTIEMEN:-I a n advised by the city Clerk
that the Bill of Messrs Chambin & Morgan
was referred to me by your Hon. Body at their
last meeting, for explanation.
Some time since | certified to the correct
ness of said Bill. The articles were purchased
by and with the consent of the Board of Health.
Their duties being underlined and in a great
measure unlimited, they deemed it incu m
bent upon themselves to do all in their power
for the relief of the suffering needy, so far as
such relief should apply to persons afflicted
with malignant or contagious disease.
If errors have been committed we hope your
Hon. Body will have the charity to attribute
them to incXperience or otherwise to an ignor-
ance on our part of the duties pertaining to our
office. We have certainly endeavored to do
what we thought our duty, and l question
whether any member of your Hon. Body has
any doubts in relation to the sincerity of our
actions. Should such be the case however,
we pray that they may review all the circum-
stances pertaining, since our appointment.
But to explain the Bill of Messrs. Chamblin
& Morgan.
The articles purchased May Goth were to
cover the nakedness Of the young man who
was sick with Cholera at Picrcc's Saloon. The
blanket and oil silk bought May 81, were for
the same person.
The goods purchased on June 18th were for
George Baker Iwho was in ouriemploy as nurse
for Small POX patient at Pest House. The
amount of the Bill was deducted from the
amount of his earnings while in our employ,
and consequently went towards paying him for
his services.
The blankets bought June q. were for sick
at the Sisters Hospital
The muslin and spool bought May 18th were
for shroud for an Irishman, (thc subject of Mr..
McGroarty's published remarks.)
The blankets first purchased, were washed
and afterwards carried by me to the pest
House. for the use of Small Pox patient, and
| think were subsequently burned.
The other blankets are at the Hospital of the
Sisters of Charity.
Very respectfully submitted.

City Physician.

CAMPHoI PRODuClNG INSANITY-The Toronto
Colonist says:--Wc are informed that no less
than eight persons have been admitted into
the Lunatic Asylum in a state of insanity pro-
duced by consuming quantities of camphor to
prevent cholera. Some of them carried about
in their pockets, and kept from time to time
eating small quantities of it. Others took it
dissolved in brandy. In all where it was ta-
ken in any quantity it produces insanity. 1t
is fact well known, that comparatively
small quantity of camphor will set dog mad
and that he will soon afterwards die.

luding to the late rout Of its party in Iowa,
says:
"The Salt River country is in fair way to
be speedily settled. If any of our friends reach
there before we do, We would like to have them
interest themselves a little in rcserving a good
claim for us.
CAaPllIHE ACCIDENTs.-There were two acct
dents in Boston on Tuesday evening of last
week, from the explosion of camphcne lamps.
Hon. Joseph L. Swan. the Republican candi-
date for Supreme Judge of Ohio, is lying dam

it will then amount to eighty millions Of BUSH

DESIGNATING CHuRCII.-The last Democrat

church in Sacramento, and i'm the course of the
quarrel resulting in the "split' which took
place then and there, damaged the pews so

CoRN.-We observe several fields of corn in
TINS vicinity which are fully ripe and ready for
harvest. The Southern Dent, which is largely
cultivated, is not fully ripe, but is so far adj
vanced as to be entirely out of reach of the
frost, and will prove heavy crop.
