The first attack was made on Friday [night 13th inst. by about 30 Indians, as is supposed, who fired upon the steamer Georgian and hilled all or board. They attacked the village, but were driven off by the. whites who rallied on the spot. The second attack was made on Sunday morning, IGth inst. just before day, by about 300 Indians.

It seeuts they were not anticipating an attack, most of them being asleep iu their own houses. The first that alarmed them, was the firing of rifles and theyel* ling of the savages.
