Extract of a letter from Col. Leavenworth, of the 6th gt, U. S. infantry, to Briar. General tlrnlaAterfiliaHe;, Fort Allunxm, 30th Aug. 1823. Watlu Itepttb. Sir: I have the honor to inform vu thst the; troops svho lately .vtsited the Ric ara Towns, returned to this postxm the 27th mst. We arrived before theRicara Towns on the-9th of the present month. The Sioux Indians, who were with us, were met hr the. Riearas a short JitsHco from their towns,' and a skirmish topk plsirejhad been opened and the surface set between them. The Riearas maintained Theit gromnd,ai&r back, -urrni tfi-'rJgwrf troVpsend'CJen Asnicjt'a.mfn ar.nvea ana tormea tneir inrv The Rifc-rs were t'hen'immcdijte- driven Into their towns. The Sioux were so much scattered in front of the troops thai the latter we're unable to de liver their fire, withouXyling Borne oi the Sioux, and therefore did not lire. - Our boats arrived subsequently during the evening of tht 9th, and oor artillery was disembarked. ()t t!.e mi'.'.'.r u t'.-! I5:h, d;:.:U Ki!y, with a m-m-any of liiH-jmn, an J Lieu'. Ur!!-,", with a company of InT, r Ut, wrre .r IrrrJ lo take voisesMon tf a Mil aSove the upper vilUs. They 1m me :!!tly took I position there within one f and -,V ate fit from tl" town, and in a MtiuUau wl.kh screened them from the fire ef the enemy fim tbt towns. At tht same moment, Lieut. Morris, with one six pounder, and a five and a half inch howitzer, commented an' attack' on the lower town. Serjeant Perkins with one tit pounder, was ordered to report to Mr. Vanderbur g, cf tht Missouri Fur Compa ny. This six pounder was placed abort the tipper Village." A brisk ore wa con tinued epon the town until J o'clock in 4hoe ArnoTa4.loujuWr lA-lbe mean timer Imsily engaged irV gathering and carrying off trie cern of the Ricara. At I o'clock Major Ketchum wi also orders J. Jo. the upper, tillage with hi compioy. - - Between S and 4 o'clock tht six poun der and tht troop opposed te the upper village were withdrawn, and our whole force concentrated below the lower vil litr. snd the troops ordered to form for the purpose of collecting corn for their own use, at Gen. Ashley a men had then L J..?... ' J Dcen e-rMiiUTe oi provisions lor mo At this time, a party of Sioux, and a par ty ef Hicaras, beh on horseback, were discovered holding a parley on the hill beyond the upper town. It was also die- covered thst the Sioux were going oft though they had given ne intimation of their intention to do ao. The Hirsns tent out and begged far peace- They seid the first shot from our cannen had tilled the celebrated Chief called "Grey Eyes," who ceased all the mischief, and that we had kilted a great many ef their people, and of their horses. They were evidently vtrv much terrified, and com pletely bumbled. Being convinced of this, and supposing that the government would be better pleased to have those In diana torrttied than externuntted, and a the Sioux, amounting to about 7 or 800 warriors, had left us in a very atrange and unaccountable manner, it wa thought best, under all the circumstances of the cac, to. listen to the solicitations ef the Hicaras for pssco, especially a it was un- deratood that our round, shot were nearly all expended ; consequently a treaty was made with them, a copy of which it en closed. In rettoring to General Asblev the proper'y taken, it was thought that tbe In dians ilid not perform their engagements on thst subject, as well as they were able to co i and they were threetened with an attack. Their principal chief, the Little Soldier, came to ns, and begged permis-. sKin wUhdraWltis' family from the" vll:' I.i je before we attacked it; and he cave ucihnnosnroncrc!tivw-evidence of his friendly disposition towards us. It was now late in tho afternoon of the 1 2th t the iOth aid I Ith having been spent in action and in negotiation, and interchanging vis its, otr men frequenting the towns for the purpose of trading for mocasins, and the Indians manifesting every svmp lorn of bsvingbetin ibofOUghty-bTODght to a tense of their interest and duty. It was concluded to postpone the attsck un til morning, and the troops were dismiss ed from parade. It had been ascertained by me that the Indians were o much alarmed by our threatening again to attsck them, that ihev would probably run away end leave their villages. This it was thought, would havean jonfavorjble, effeet -upon1 fft Indian, and nuke them more inclined lo commit depredations upon the traders ; end, as the Little Soldier ston after sent out, for Cener&l Ashley, a few more buf falo robes, with a message that he could not possibly do more, and begging that we weuld have pity on them, I sent him word that I would not attack them ; that it was not their property that we wanted; to make his people fee) safe, and conduct themselves well, and they should not be hurt." .'.. Early on the morning of the 1 3th, we fauod.ibe JliarM htji.

A messenger was sent to rail back the Indians if possible, and to induce the.rn.to take possession of their villages, but they could not be found. It was now evident that our artillery had been served with vejr great effect. The towns had been completely riddled. VVe found 31 new gra v e v and s fonod that st ve rai old ones thick- wnh prickly pears to conceal the were ktl'ed by ihe-Sfouxlft thotklrmtsfi on the 9th, were "buried in five graves ; arid we "know," tlso, thjt mofe than one was buried in several ef the btber graves From the best evidence which we could, collect, it is supposed that more than 50 of their people were killed, and great number wounded. Our messengers re turned on lb evening of the Uth, with out having been able to find the Rkaras. On the morning of the 13th, we placed tin mV.her cf tt.e lutt thief, Crty Kyei, fan Si'd and l.ifirni wotun, wham they 1,'ft In their flhrht,) in rn tf the princt pal Me of the lower village give her plenty of provisions and water, and left her in the ouiet posseslon of the towns, and the pmpertr left by the Indians, ex cept some com which bad bcentsken for the subsistence of the men. At about 10 o'clock, on tht evening ef the 15th, the troop were tmbarked to descend the ri vet, nd our guard withdrawn, and every soul removed from tho villagee, except tht woman before mentioned. AH tht boats were got under wiy nesrly at tht same time. Before we ware out of eight of the towns, we had the tnertificallon to discover them to be on fire. There is no jdoult.tulihey,.bAiJeiLXowunejlJaJ ashes, & is there any 4ioubt but that they were set on fire by one MT)OTaM,rp3ftrier and one Cordon, a clerk of the Missouri Fur Cempany. Had not this beet done, there is no douLr, there Is ne'rbem T to doubt, but thst the Ricara Indians would, in future, hive behaved as wall towards our countrymen at sny other Indians or the river. It is now my deliberate opin ion that those Indians will be excited to further hostilities. We found the Hicara Indians in two villages, the lower one containing 71 e"irt lodgs, and the tipper village TO dirt lodges. Each village was enclosed with palllsadct, or pickets, and a ditch, and a greater part of the lodgrs had a ditch around the bottom on tho inside. Thee worka, however, had been represented to bo much stronger than what we found them to be. Durinr eur operations, we sustained no loss in men, and hai bnt two wounded, Hugh Johnson, of Gen. Ashley's com mand, and Smith, a private of Maj. Ket chum's company. I hsve been hiirhlf fitified with tlte officers and men of the regiment, and al so with Gen. AMey and his command of 80 men. I have th.s honor to be respectfully, your obedient servant. n. LEAVENWORTH. Col. commanding 6th Itcgimcnt. Brig. Gen. H. Atioit, eCemmamling Vet. Dcpt. DISTRESSING INTELLIGENCE.
