McCtellan and staff rotfe boldly oat to the front."— So they did—some hours after the fighting ceased. Itut there was nothing to call them there earlier, and the expedition accomplished its object. The prisoners carried away captive bj the Indians were entirely women and children. The elder women were murdered, while the younger, outraged and stripped of every article of clothing, were forced to march away with their captors. Little children were hewn to chips before their mother's eyes, or nailed to the house or fence by the hands and feet, and left to linger out their little livaa in agony. Unborn infants Were rudely torn from their place, and flung upon the bleediug breasts of their dying mothers. Mothers and children were scalped and beheaded and plaecd in rows on the ground. In fact every indignity, and outrage, and atrocity which a fiend could devise, and which have ever characterized Indian warcfura, have been practiced to the greatest extent upon a confiding and peaceful people. Pen and words utterly fail to depict these barbarities; it has often been attempted, bat never realised in description. GEO. L. 3PALBffEft.
