ted States Army, was killed. Lieut.. J. T. Mclaughlin and IA privates were wounded. The hostiles were estimated at 3OO or 4OO strong. When the Indians retired, the friend ly Indians yelled at and taunted them all they could to make them renew the attack but not a syllable or gun was heard from them. This account, as far as it goes, you may de- pend upon. had it from Capt. Piercy. In haste yours, 6Lc.

 The above intelligence is confirmed by the arrival at this place on Tuesday night last, of the steamer Cincinnati, Capt. Curry. The attack on Fort Mellon (Encampment Mon roe's at Lake Monroe,) was made, it is suppo- sed, by Philip and his gang. The battle was furiously contested. The loss on the side of the hostiles is not known.

 This action must have taken place before the information of the truce could have been received by those Indians who made the att tack. Information of it had not been then received by Col. Tanning.

 The forces at Fort Mellon returned to Vo- lusia on the 1lth. No Indians having been seen about the Fort from the 9th up to the 11th.

 It is the general opinion that the above af- fair will not break up the truce now existing, nor have any effect on the course the Indians will pursue in relation to closing the war by yielding themselves up for removal.

 Matthias, the soi-disant Prophet, has made his appearance at Staunton, Virginia. The Editor of the Staunton Spectator says, he is the fiattest and most insipid monster he has ever seen-no wild enthusiasm in his ha- rangues-nothing about him but the smooth ly combed beard of he-goat-the threat to remove which latter, by some unruiy boys, caused him, it appears, to decamp for Waynesboro' sooner than he had intended.

 What a difference there is between this ci- ty and Boston in the estimate placed upon ed- ucation. In the latter place, with popula- tion not exceeding 7O,0OO, there are but thify- three boys oho do not go to school; here, so ill- dependent are we of the lights of knowledge, that with the best houses and accommoda- tions in every respect for pupils, our public schools are attended by about 700 pupils in population of nearly 100000. The whole number of pupils in Boston is estimated at l6,66O. Notwithstanding the number of ex- cellent private schools in this place, the num- Der of idle boys in the streets furnishes de- plorable practical commentary on our pro- fassions of love ot learring.-Bah.
