descendants of the French are still Muted here.

'Barracks. -- A solitary sentry, with ti loitering,
step, is pacing his round:- This Fort was'
created in and wits the head quarters of ,the
expedition--against'" Black Hawk," during
1886. The onward stride of einigralion far
west of this point, has rendered its'occupancy
