tied these unfortunate persons yesterday
At the Hagy House, and learned some in.
teresting particulars with reference to
their capture, and treatment by the In.
dians. They were taken by the Indians
on the Goth Of August last at Lake She,ack
on the head waters Of Des Mo;nes, in
Minnesota. Two children Of Mrs. DuLEr,
aged ten AID five, were killed Immediately.
and another daughter Of the same lady,
aged two and half, was murdered about
three weeks later, while on the march
The remainder Of the party, consisting Of
Mrs. WRIGHT and daughter. Mrs. DuLEY
and daughter. Mr.. IRELASD's two daught
er, and Mr.. EvERr's daughter, were forced
to accompany their captors, consisting of
some 80 Indians, to the James riyer, in
Dakota Territory, and thence to the Mis-.
souri,. They reached the later point on
the 26th of October. The women and Mr..
IRELAND's two daughters were compelled
to walk the entire distance, but the child.
rem were generally permitted to ride upon
polls dashed together and drawn by ponies,
the ordinary travelling vehicles Of Indians.
On the 3lst of October they saw the irst
white men they had seen since their cap.
tivity, consisting Of the party of Major
GALpIN, who were on their way down the
river. The Indians were very hostile to
this party, and finding they could not in
.duce them to land commenced firing upon
them. Mrs. WRIGHT at the risk Of her
life succeeded in making known to the
Major As he passed, their condition, sad
to his untiring efforts in their tehaH they
attribute their final rescue. His exertions
for their liberation we're unceasing. He
directed his employees, Immediately upon
arriving at his trading post to spare Meth
" pains or expense for their ransom
They feel under lasting obligations to
him, and those who with so much perse.
verence labored to accomplish his humane
efforts. The released prisoners are intel
ligent and evidently belong to respectable
families. They are entitled to the warm
est sympathy Of Christian people, aud
~e trust they will be kindly received upon
their way to their desolate homes. They
desire to return their heartfelt gratitude
for the kindness with which they have
been treated by all whom they have met
since their return to the settlements.

R- A PLAGUE IN CHICAGo-A disease
new to modern times, but possessing many
points in common with the meldnouSou Of
the ancie n:s, has lately made its appear.
snce in Chicago. The disease shows it.
self ia spots not unlike those characterize
ing variola, but more suddenly, and the
pustules Of q dark purple color. Several
cases of death from this new disease oc.
Cured in Chicago last week. Wherever
it has made its appearance the efforts Of
physicians have been sunavailing.
The above is PROFESSIONALLY the same
disease that has been prevailing here for
some time past. Some two weeks since
there were three deaths in one family fol.
lowing each other in quick succession
Since then there has been a number Of
cases among children, apparently of a
nilder type, though presenting the same
general charactsristics-allo of whom re-
covered, and we fa,tered ourselves that
its ravages had ceased. but on Sunday
night last, NJ. A. z. FRENCH, one of our
best citizens, and man hitherto in the
enjoyment Of excellent health, was sud-
denly alta cked with violent chill fol-
lowed by extreme congestion and imme-
diate Inconsistencies. Within few hours
of the attack the rash appeared, present.
ing at 6rst much the appearance CT meas.
els, but speedily assuming a purple hue,
and extending over the whole body. The
treatment consisted in the employment of
the most powerful stimulants aud tones
administered internally and applied to the
surface; but all without the least appa
rent effect. Reaction was never restored.
and in about twenty hours from the attack
he expired.
