18 ig Uaatral Taylor wee ia command of the
ttata impcrui t f,octet BwtM* Aut’hien. Dur-
ioa ilia summer, some three or four hundred
men froan the raining jottiemcnie in Illinois
and Winooniin, entered the Indian oountry on
the weal aide of the Mjeeipeippi, and oouioien-
•ad mining operations upon and in the tioiai-
tr of the traot cal|ed the Dubuque mines —
The Oorernmeat arm then Ireatiog with the
Indiana for the territory which embraced the
raining traot. and U Jtecnme an important ob-
jeo* to prerent the diaeorery of raluabie de-
poaila ef tend era until the treaty should be
inade and ratified. Beside*, the I udiane com-
plained of the Intrusion of the miners. Gen.
Taeler was therefore directed to send n force
and remora the miners from the welt to the
east aide of the rirer, and prerent all occupa
tion hr the whiten until the Indiana had cedad
the country. Those only whehaee a person

wae required to rata owl, and the motif es which
operated upon thrm to induce s resilience to
the meMures which might to adopted to re-
more them, can estimate the difliouliy of ef
fecting thie object. _ ,
After eome deliberntton, Gen. Taylor eelec-
ted from among the acreral eiperienced offi-
cers, the man to carry oot the order* of the
Gorernmrnt; hie choice fell upon Jeff. Darie,
the youngest officer at tba poat. The instrno
lions to the young lieutenant were a kiDd of
carle itanrls, for it wae Impossible for Gener
al Taylor to anticipate the obstacles to the
removal. Daris was furnished with a force of
about thirty dragoons, artued with ritte. cut-

Hie eoldier, be hasleued alone in l he west side
of the Mississippi, and commenced an no-
quaiataucc with the rough men with whom he
lmd to deni. At the outset, his statements
that he had been sent to remora theot from the
Dubuque mines, were received with hearty
bursts of laughter, in which Dario joined from
sympathy ; but when he eeriously repeated his
statements, aid eeeured them that it was his
intention to enrpy out the orders he had re
ceived, they became angry, and advised him to
return to Praire du Chieu and report to his
commanding officer that he had not force
enough under him to remove them. Davis re-
plied that he would not go back until he had
tried to remove them with the force which had
been placed under bis command, and told them
to name the piece and the day to decide the
question ; acknowledging that be believed his
IliiHy dragoons would bo over-powered by two
or three huudred bravo meo, armed with rifles,
but they end himself were prepared lu die in
th* discarge of their duty.
The day after Davis had made known his
mind to sacrifice hie life, if necessary, in ihe
endeaver to obey bis inelrueti. ns to remote
the minere, he was called upon by several, who
endeavored to change hie views. With lhe e e
he consented calmly, and in a vein of good
nature ; showing them the impolicy ae well as
danger iu refusing to consent to the returna
ble demand of the Government that reeognis
ed the Indiana as the owners of the land, and
was then treating with them to obtain it at a
fair price for the use of the miners, who were
then occupying it unlawfully, and in direct
opposition to the Government. He showed
them no had, ea an otteet of the Government,
no choice—be must obey his orders, or die
with his men iu hia attempt to do so.
Among the minora who called on hint to in
duce him to return to Trains du Chien, was a
n an of powerful frame, and of great strength,
he was also fearless as he was strong and hra.
vy. This man be became convinced, from the
arguments of Davie, that the minere were in
the wrong; and admiring him for bis talents
as much es he honored him for hie true
courage, he determined to prevent a fight,
and aid him in the ohjeot of bia expedition—
for this purpose, he went among the diggings,
end being popular, he pereuaded them to agree
to assemble on a certain day for the purpoea
of deciding finally upon their course. Two
or three desperadoes, whose main bueinese
among the minora was gambling, agreed to
waytay Daeil and kill him—fearing that he
would in some way auoceed in effecting his
object—but bis stalwart friend became aware
of the intention, oqd conducted him In aefety
to the meeting agreed upon. There were
