We have been enabled to collect the following particulars, Irons the information of a traveller who had just passedthrough the neighbourhood, and in whose veracity we place the , most confidence I—lt seems that a party of Indians, ten in number consisting of three men, three women, two girls, about half grown, and two small boys, were encamped on Fall Creek, in Madison County, about eight miles above the Falls, and thirty-five miles above this place, for the purpose of hunting. Osi Monday, the 22d instant, a party of five white men and two boys went to the camp, and decoyed the three men away from the camp, for the ostensible purpose of assisting them to hunt some cattle. After they had gone some distance trom the camp, two of the Indians were shut dead ; the third made his escape, very badly wounded. In the evening of the same day, the same party returned to the camp, and after making some professions of friendship, murdered the whole of the women and children. Their bodies were must shockingly mangled, for the purpose of producing an impression that it was the work of Indians, and thrown into a hole of water occasioned by the falling of a tree. One of the men killed one of the children by taking it by the heels and then beating its brains out against a tree. On Tuesday, the place was visited by a party of men, when one of the women was found still alive, but died on the evening of the next day. At the time the camp was first visited, after the missacre, the property of the Indians, consisting of guns, skins, furs, &c. was still •at the camp, and was left there unmolested; but on the next day, when the place was visited by:a party of mess from the falls of Fall Creek, the bodies were found stripped, and every species of property carried away. We are further informed, that one of the lids concerned in the murder (and who was compelled to assist, by the threats of his father), soon after the transaction, gave information, and five of the party concerned were immediately arrested, Ana are now in custody at the falls of Fall Creek; one made his (lLitpt ey, and the youth who gave thednformation is said to be at in the neighbourhood. Since their arrest it is said that the persons have made a full confession. All the families composing the settlement in the neighbourhood of the scene of this horrible transaction, have removed to the mills, at the falls on Fall Creek, to avoid the retaliating vengeance of the Indians.—Nets PA Evening ha, dpril 21.
