At the Superior Court held for this coun ty last week, David Hobbs was tried for killing John Cheek in July last, on their return from a tax-gathering at Brown's mill. The jury after beinr out about half an hour, returned a verdict of manslaughter. On Saturday the sentence ot the law was passed upon the prisoner, and he was im mediately branded on the left hand, in presence of the court. Duel Extraordinary. Some time this week, (says the Heading Penn. paper of the 15th inst.) two colored persons at a public house near Joanna Furnace, had a dis pute whilst plavinir at cards. They agreed upon hutting, (or fighting head to head,) when one was unfortunately killed. The survivor was lodged in the county jail on Thursday evening. orders have been forwarded to Gen. Atkinson, (who was, at our last advices, at Prairie du Chien, with a respectable force) to chas tise the Winnebagoes for the re cent murders and outrages com mitted by them; that peace will not be made with them until the murderers shall be given up for trial and punishment, and the ter ritory between Prairie du Chien and Rock River shall be given up, to be held by the United States, as a pledge for their future good conduct, and to constitute a sort of barrier between our frontier settlements and the Indians.

The article is published at length in the Raleigh ?: 1 ivcitor, accompanied by the fol- flowing remarks: .".;. "Wo heartily approve of that Impart of Mr. MacLeod's communi , ilcation, which proposes to employ ; ;our paupers in the cultivation of ilk, and we trust that the exam r i;tj)lo set by Johnston county will be which, you well know, they have no right to occupy. I have also to request that mea sures may be adopted for remov ing all the Indians, who, without any right, now occupy any part of the ceded lands ol this State; and for preventing future intrusions of all others of them. I have no confidence in any of them, and will not, by hazardous forbearance, jeopardize the property or lives of my fellow citizens. I trust, how ever, that you may find it proper and convenient to adopt such mea sures as may render my interposi tion wholly unnecessary. I have the honor to be, very re spectfully, Sir, your most obedient servant, NIN1AN EDWARDS. Col. Win. Clark, Superiutend ant of Indian Affairs, &c. St. Lou is, Missouri. The Louisville Advertiser, of the 1st instant, stated that "Gen. Gaines arrived at this place on Wednesday last, on his way to The Detroit Herald, of Aurr. 29, says: "All the Indians of that frontier have their eyes directed to the Winnebagoes. If they es cape with impunity, or it our mea sures for ponishnient are long de layed, we shall become contemp tible to the wdiole aboriginal pop ulation, and hostilities will extend from Lake Michigan to the Mis souri. 1 lie Winnebagoes nrn es timated at 1200 warriors; they are stout, well made, athletic men, with more than the ordinary por tion ot savage desperation. Their world is the impassable region a- round then, and they neither know nor regard the strength of the United btates. That strang est of all military measures, the evacuation of Prairie du Chien, they attributed to our fear of them. And, independent of other causes of war, real or imaginary, which they may. have, they are necessa rily impelled by the nature of their institutions, to make or find some enemy," It appears that the fears of the settlers upon the -upper Mississip pi, (says the INational Intelligen cer,) and the diggers at the lead mines, have been quieted by the prompt measures which have been taken lor their protection, and for the chastisement of the Winnebagoes, by whom they were threatened. We understand that the Gov ernment some weeks since, di rected the re-occupation of the posts at Prairie du Chien, upon the Mississippi, and Chicago, at the head of Lake Michigan, which with other movements ordered, will completely cover the white population in that section of country. The advantages of a concentra tion of troops in the vicinity of St. Louis, has been clearly demon strated by the prompt movement which has been made by Gen. At kinson with six hundred men, in the highest state of discipline. With a depot of troops near the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri, where the recruits en listed in the Western country can be collected, and practically in structed in their duties, and from which, when necessary, detach ments can be thrown, in the most expeditious manner, upon any part of our Indian line, no apprehen sions need be entertained for the general safety of our enterprising citizens on that frontier.
