Horr,bIe Tr.U.dy on Battle Creek.

We have just heard Of the murder of four In.
dams, on Battle creek, opposite Major Readings
place, under the following circumstances:-One
William Macon, a person Of very diSsoluts hab-
it's, aud low associations, having last season muir
dered several Indians, whom be suspected OF
being friendly with a certain squaw, that he
(Macon) had compelled to become his wife for
the time being. went out last week with an In
dian, TO hunt deer, and has not yet returned.
1t soon became noised about that Macon had
been murdered by the Indians. The neighbor-
hood was soon in arms. aud on the track of any
and all the Indians that could be found.
The first they came upon were five men in q
hut several miles from where Macon was miss
ing, one of these they took out by himself, and
demanded of him who had killed Macon? The
Indian declared that he had no knowledge of
the affair, aud knew not whether Macon was
alive or dead. Finding that he knew nothing
about it they tied him fast in the brush, and
went to the cabin and took out one OF the oth-
ers, telling him that the first one had lied to
them. and that they had killed him, ana that
unless he told them truly who killed Macon, and
where his remains were to be found, he, too,
should die. Seeing that he was in tight fix,
without any means o. extricating himself, and
having concealed in his clothing pistol, he re-
solved to cell his life as dearly as possible, snd
accordingly commenced firing at his captors,
wOunding one, it is supposed, mortally. AT the
first report of the pistol, man who was left
to watch the Indian that was tied in the bushes,
fred and killed him, after which the whole par
ty, seven OF eight in number. returned 10 me

confined there, through the CRACKS OF the nut
The Indian who did the firing made his escape.

From India,
BY way of England advices have been receiv-
ed from Bombay to August 18th.

By way of England advices have been receiv-
ed from Bombay TO August 18th.
Tue newspaper accounts are very vouminous,
but the following is condensed statement of
the facts:
Delhi had not fallen up to the 29th of July.
The besieging army was attacked by the mutt
neers on the l4th, 18th and 23d July, aud suk
fered loss of over 500 men in the several en-
counters but the assailants were repulsed on
each occasion with great slaughter Among the
seventy wounded was Adjutant General Cham
berlain.
The NeemuCh mutineers and a body of fanat-
les are stated to have joined the Sepoys in Del
hi
General Reid, owing to i'll health had relin-
qushed the command before Delhi, and it was
held by Gen. Wilson.
General Nicholson, with strong re-enforee-
ments was expected to reach Delhi by the mid
die of August. On his way he had fallen in
with the Sealkote mutineers and totally de-
stroycd them.
Further details Of the massacre of Europeans
at Cawnpore show that the victims numbered
S8 officers, 100 privates 100 women and chill
dren belonging to the army, and about 400
civilians. The women were stripped naked,
beheaded and thrown into well and their chill
dred hurled down alive upon the mangled
bodies.
After recapturing Cawnpore, Gen. Haveleck
followed up his success with much vigor, hav-
ing ia eight days marched l20 miles, fought four
actions with Nena Sahibs army against over
whelming odds, and taken "a guns. The mutt
neers having voluntarily evacuated Bthoor,
General Havelock burnt that place to the
ground. He also assaulted and carried the
town of Ocnao capturing all the guns, and then
proceeded toward Lucknow, at which place the
garrison still held out against the mutineers.
Several new mutinies had occurred at Dina
pore, but it is said that the rebels were dispers-
ed by the Europeans, who shot down 800 Of
them-one Of the disarmed regiments in the
Punjaub had also mutined, but fed on being
attacked.
In the Bombay Presidency, a mutiny occurred
OIL the 3lst July in regiment stationed at Kol-
pore. A portion only of the troops were en-
gagged in it, and as number Of these were
taken, it was considered that the mutiny had
been suppressed.
Fears were entertained of outbreaks at other
stations in Bombay Presidency. and European
re-enfOrcements were thrown into the suspected
localities to overawe the disafected.
A Mohammeden conspiracy had likewise been
discovered in the Bombay Presidency.
Much excitement existed at Benares, toward
which city the mutiueers were advancing.
