ANNIVERSARY INDIAN FIGHT.

Mt Sterling, Ky, March 22.--Today is the 18th anniversary of the battle between Capt. James Estill, of Estills Station, and a party of Wyandotte Indians, in this country, which will ever be memorable in the history of Kentucky as the scene of "Estill's De- feat"
 As history records, 135 years ago to- day 25 Wyandotte Indians, the bravest and fiercest of all the Indian tribes, seized Estills Station, on the south bank of the Kentucky river, and having killed and scalped Mrs. Innes. a daughter of Capt. Innes, and 'des- troyed the cattle and other stock the Indians retreated
 Capt. Estill, with party of 25, started in mediate pursuit, following the Indians from Estill county to Montgomery county, and came upon them as they crossed Hinston creek, one-half mile below this city. The bat tie that ensued was one of the blood fest in the history of Indian warfare. Nearly all of the participants, both whites and Indians, were killed,
