with an expression of heartfelt joy which I

not by a savage, but by a man who was akin
at this cold
to the one he slew:
«« We did not actually see any more of the
cold-blooded atrocities of that terrible night
but we heard them all around us. Cribs,
screams; yells and reports of maskets still
resounded. By the light of the now burn:
ing buildings, fugitives were constantly be-
ing routed from their places of concealment
and were then shot, stabbed of tomahawked,
no quarter being given in any case, and on-
ly here and there one making his escapt.—
The whole plain-and the whole stretch of
the river along the plain was a scene of atio-
cious butcliery. In one case; sixteen men
were placed in a circle around ¢ne rock, and
each held By an athletic Indian, while a
squaw, armed with 2 tomahawk end knife,
walked coolly around and stabbed or brain-
ed them one at a time. In an andther in-
stance ninc others were served in the same
manner. Of the four hundred gallant fel.
fows who went forth to defend their homes,
only sixty esctped from the field of slaugks

and childteft that were slain in every direc-
tion; with others who died of fright, fatigue
and starvation in the wilderness, we swell
the list till the heart of humanity fairly sick-

fires had Burned down, and savage thirst for
blood had beenso far satiated as to biing

‘and then we tremblingly crawled forth and
chafed our water benumbed limbs, and stole
away ahiong the shadows of the trees, past

escaped to the mofintains, where 6vertasked

day was dawning upon the world.

occurred even after our escape from the field

« On awaking from our briet but troubled

worren and seven children, who had been
concealed among Some rocks over night, and
had cowimenced their toilsome journey at

acted like a charm and broke the fever,
