Horrible Ind5an Massacre.-The at trocious feelings, which the British band of the Sacs and Foxes have cher ished against the whites of the Upper Mississippi, broke out about week ago in most daring insult upon the au- thoriy of tic United States, and the lives of other peaceable Indians. 4 band of Menominies, at Prairie du Chien, was attacked in the night, while asleep, under the very guns ofthe United States fort, and four and twenty were massa- cred on the spot! Ten more who were wounded, escaped into the houses of the citizens of Prairie du Chien. Of the massacred, more than half were women and children. This attroeious act calls for vengeance. The outrage upon the United States, whose jurisdic- ton was violated, and the murder of2f human beings upon their soil, cannot go unpunished. The assassins will doubtless be demanded, and, if not giv- en up, ought 10 De taken. The leaders of the massacre ought to be hung, or pursued and killed in their dens.
