They fired upon thme house and the lad, who was busily ensgaged in grind ing meal, at a steel mill which was attached 5. the house, received three balls through him, and inunaediastely expired, the rest of the family made their escape. Ahl.er they got to their hiding place. the old lady missed one of the children, and went hack in search of it ; she found it irl the corner of the chimney; the Indians were so busily engaged in plundering the house, thaw they did not notice her; they burned thse dwvel ling house, meat house, corn crib, fodderstacks, destroyed the cane, grabbled the potatoes, and in fact bhmke lime reor mian enatirely tap. Onte of the neabours who saw the fire. and judged it lea to be the worl: of the Indians, artned himself wc with hill double barrel gun and ran to their as- pe sistance; onl arriving in sight, he happened to ly step into a hole at the root of a tree, and made ar = some noise in getting out; as he arose he saw ed an Indian close by him, behind a tree ,who, no to doubt, had been placed there as a spy; the In- ed dian was preparing to fire at him, but he fuc- re ceeded in getting his gun off first, and the In- a dian fell and balloed; he saw another Indian 11 ntear him. upon whom I fired his second bar- of rel. and from the signs that were left, he thinks! di that he kil!ed one alid wounded the other. lie at then proceeded to the house, which the Indians n a had left on fire, and succeededin rescuing htorn re the dlames such articles of furniture as he could sa could carry alone, and the dead body of the in is young lad.

Our men em I fired upon them, they came out and returned m e the fire, and nppeared to be very brave; our ni if men would retreat, load, and fire otn them again. pe s I did not understand how long the fight lasted, al t. bni one of the menl by the jane of Mitchell, us said he seen a very large Indian busy in giv- dih ing commanuad, and was within sixty yards of th n him, and took deliberate ain at him; as soon as he a he fired the Indian ran into the hammock, and a '. the'others followed hinm.

Entran :--as the last Advertiser, I see wapuprts to be a learned essay taver theC jj sintr fC.,.npotn Militia Laws anid Brignde 1 Enaea'tnptments. From the very' beginntinig of this studied productiona. the wvriter not aonly be seems very much surprised that te last Lergis- tat hatutre refuased to revise the Mtilitia Laws of the a-l tt.repaealed Brigadae Enceamaptnents, and re- t*e stored Comipany Couarts 3lartiaL'a; btut seems to be think these tiangs ofaantlicien~t imupoIanace to;j requmire a reconsideration. Now sir, if the wri- tie ter C. in sincere in whtat hao professed to believe, ty "that it is sootnd policy in et ery governsmott thtat its laws should bernio framned, as to be intel- ' igible to every- mtan in the comutnunaity.," Igoth heart and hand trita hime, ad would to Goad we cotuld have all the laws of thae land couchedinjp tuach lanagutage -that he that russ. might read ;" A btut air, it seems to mue froat the rain of C's epis the, that hie is desirous of layinag the foundation fedi ofsanoter laborious canvass am this district. I ye .ask thai whole caotmunsity, wonitd such a state ye of things be desirable ? by no mneans; just for a " momenat lsaak back uipon te late canvass; whai. . is the picture? twhy sir, you: cousld scarcely go to a muster, protracted or camap meetinsg, squar- chi rel barbacue, or even a cotapany court martial,th without cominsgin contact with some half dozena emnidates--v-es -ir. and some of them hook as abt n as the last running of slauu. as though they I L re almost ready to say amen. We sir, as a ople, ought not tocomplain, we were honest and faithfully represented from this district, d I must confess I am not so much astonish- Y as friend C.. at the Legislature in refusing - add another layer of " crude and complicat. t materials," to that huge mass, for the very C isons given by C. himselft listen to wMt he o yo, "since the organization of the militia in ti 94, there has been an annual accumulation statutes on the subject, and the present con- a tion of the militia is scattered through the t. to, from 1794. to 1840, and it is the fewest so imer of men that can find the law, without l ading all the acts." And that is not all, he a ya, " it frequently happens that a clause relat. ; to the Militia iq contained in an act of an y tirely different title." This sir. I confess is tI leplorable state of things, and I would ask, 8 ay was such a deranged state of the law I uglit about-was it for tihe purpose of keep- e ; the honest citizens of the country ignorant of P i, tmilitary laws of the laud; I hope not- ti t alas! the tIhings speak iii a language too tin to be nmisunderstood. I am aware sir, there is a disposition in mam.n t pecially those n ho have met with disappoint.I ents. in gone by days, to seek every opportu- a :y of ingratiate themselves in favor with the a ople. and that too at the expence of others; 6 d I am fearful, our friend C. has becoin so 0 ach intoxicated with this growing evil, that c ! good of the cornmunity an-1 prosperity of I a country, will sink into formetfulne", when s thinks of the promotion of his own personal grandizemtent. Yes sir, from the reconsidera. n C. proposes, he no doubt feels sonie sort of itching disposition, to seek :hearliest oppor. ity to vent hill spleen uon the Representa- i es -f the distuict, or at least a part uf then, - that is his object; be it so, I venture to say, E re is not a man in the country, bit what mild subscribe very readily tothe priposition, having not only the militia laws, but all the vs of the land, reduced into as simill a coms ' s, as possible, so they might be accessible to cry man ; there are several other puints in C's may, I should have noticed, bit I have swelled s communication to a length not intendei. d what I have written must suffice for the esent.
