collected at Fort Monlac (11. poston the river recent*
ly occupied by U. S r Triapi, but which hurl Itcen
nhai.doned some months) to defend themselves —
They occupied the soldiur's qiiortats around the
stockade.
On the evening of the IDth, tlie Indian, approach-
«d very near, without thf knowledge nf any one,
and whilst Mrs. Patrick was |ireparlng a betl for her
tittle children,' wa* fired at frem the window, and
fell dead nn thf) bpd ia front of her father. An at

by the infernal tlnvil*. Mr. Thomas Duvis, of imr
county, and two of his children were killed, and
their bodies consumed in thn budding which was set
fire—as wasthe.cate with everyntherexcept the
picket, whither they all rushed for the preservation
ofvlmtr lives. Mr. Patrick who was the bearer ol
the expreas, nnd with whom I convi-rsod. -informed
mo as h* rushed for th* picket, bearing the dead
body of his daughter, be was died at four nr five
times, hut luckjly escaped, Thv .Indian* were then
driven off by the men in the Fort. Mr.A. Jernakin
killed one a* be waa seen to fall and w:a* borne nff.
They continued to fire at the Fort, and kept op ap
incessant yelling during the night. A party wa«,
however, sertt off very soon 10 the plantation of Mr.
Hogan, about half a mile distant, and in a short
time every budding on the place was wrapt inflxme*
and completely destroyed.
The next day the -Indians crossed Into Camden
county, burnt the place of the' unfortunate Dovis,
a Mr. Mincey?# and several other*.
Y- n can forip no idea of the panic and tlis'res*
which r.t*w prevail in nor county. Every matt In

GxNTLKMXRt—Believing that you, aa the ergon
of ,ho Harrison party, are willing at all time* to lay
before tho people your reasons for the action* of
th t party, allow me 10 ask why It is that an oppo
sition ticket for Aldermen is started by iliem. Is
there any fault in the administration of the old
Board, and If an, whot I* It ?
Do you not believe that the city in a financial
point nf view, and In its nffirir, generally, .if liptler.

name wherein It Is not so.
Wlmt desirn rnn there ke fora change j nr d->e,

fore have nomin ited ti tlckot composed ofgentleinen
known to bo of their own politics, ant)-who they
believe hnve given and will give general satisfaction
In the faithful discharge of their duties.
Under thla belief, 1 am a supporter of the whole
Democratic ticket, bu 1 am at ilia same lime wilbnx
to correct any abuses of iniyrer by pu'riie servants,
and I am anxious to have lid* information made

who lias ne motive or interest to gratify, rave that
which is every man's right, namely, tho genera]
