indian Advioes.
81. LOUIS, March 27.-General Porter has
disbanded his forces. They have gone home,
with the exception of few scouts, leaving
the United States troops TO capture Spiochee
and his men. AT last accounts they bad
not yet reached his camp, fifteen miles west
of the Sac and Fox agency. No doubt he
will surrender to them without resistance,
as he would have done to the Creeks had he
not been afraid he would have gone the way
of Sleeping Rabbit-killed while tryingto
escape. Last Wednesday detachment of
Thorp's army discovered Spiochee's scouts
and gave chase, capturing one. They
questioned him as to Spiochee's
whereabouts and forces, but as he would
tell nothing they took him out and shot
him dead. There are rumors here of more
killing on the same plan, but nothing au-
thehtic. News reached here tonight OF an
other killing near Eufala, last week. About
twenty of Chicote's men lett that place and
they discovered Spiecbee man named
Erhoely Harge, and without more ado rid
died him with bullets.
