The remainder Of the prisoners were distributed
among the various Pottawatomic settlements
along the banks Of the Illinois, Wabash,
Rock River, and milwaukee,. Most OF

tanned in Niles Weekly Register OF Nov. Z, vol

in part from memory:
ssOn the 9th OF August received orders from
Gen. Hull to cyacuate the post and proceed
with my command to Detroit, leaving it
at my discretion .to !. dispose Of the public
ing Indians got the information as early as I
did, ami came from all quarters to receive the
goods in the fuctory store, which they under
stood were to be given to them. On the 18th
thirty Aliamis for the purpose Of escorting Us
in, by the request OF Gen. Hull. On the l4th
delivered the Iruians all the goods In the fac
tory-storc, and a considerable quantity Of pro-
visions which we could not take away with US.
The surplus arms aud ammunition / thought
proper to destroy, fearing they would
make bad use OF it if. put in their
possession. also destroyed all the liquor on
hand soon after they began to assemble. The
collection was unusually large, for that place,
but they conducted [thcmsclyes] with the
etrictcst propricty till after l left the fort.
On the 18th, at 8 a. M, we commenced our
march. a part Of the alfamIs were detached
in front the remainder III our rcar as guards,
under tile direction OF Capt. Wells. The situa-
ton Of the country rendered it necessary for us
to take the beach, With the lake on our left
and q high bank on our right, at about 100
Yards distance We proceeded about . mile
were prepared to attack us from behind the
bauk.

PROMPT GIRLS,

Last Monday we hadthe pleasure
in company with II young friend
WI Christian, one Of Westminster 5
most favored sons, OF visiting Hardin
college we were there but a few
minutes, but were forcibly struck with
the promptness of everything. Prof
Terrill viii have no sluggards about
him; he will have no suffering Or
stammering Of answers, and fla
young lady cannot answer right out
she IS Excused" She must pre-
pare her lesson for the class; the
class room is not the place to
study a problem, and if she does
not know her lesson Chere is no way
for her to evade showing it, she must
face the music. Prof. Terrill under,
stands how to drill a class thoroughly
and we were pleasantly surprised at
the promptness with which some Of tho
most difficult points i'll psychology
were handled.
You might look far and wide and yo'
; would not find school where a youn:

1t makes an editor feel good to
have a half-witted cuss drop in about
once a week and tell him just how
he should run his paper. 1t adds to
the good feeling if he will bring along
a copy of the last issue with all the
mistakes carefully terrified out and
marked with bright red ink. We
like to hear suggestions from men
that know what it takes to make a
good paper, but not from men that
talk because they can't do anything
else.
