In 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.

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 al koewledge of the kind of men the General 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.

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.
