From the St Louk IK-acon, August 11.HonaiBi.E Indian massacre. The atrocious feelings, which the Brili-L band of the Sacs and Foxes have cher tilled against the whites of the Uppei Mississippi, broke out about a «etk ago j in a most daring insult upon the au-I thorily of the United Slates, and the j lives of other peaceable Indians.—A band of Meuominies, Hi Prairie du Chien, was attacked in the night while asleep, under the very guns ol the United Slates1 fort, and four and twenty were massacred on the spoil Ten more, who were wounded, escaped into the houses of the citizens of Piairie duChien. Of the massacred, more thanhalf were women and childien. Thisatrocious act calls for vengeance. The outrage upon the United Stales, wbose jurisdiction was violated, and the murder of twenty-four human beings upon their soil, cannot go unpunished. The assassins will doubtless be demanded, and, if not given up, ought to be taken. The leaders of the massacre ought to be hung, or pursued and killed in their dens.These are the wretches for whom a new Indian excitement is gelling up in the east. A set of banditti, belonging to the Biitish, whose presents they an-, nually receive, and whose communica* j tious with the British it has been the t policy of the government to cut etU by removing them to the west of the Mississippi. To remove them from the in-| fluence of the British according to treaties and for ample consideration paid,is termed a persecution by factious new s-p ipere; and , in the dawning of this new sympathy, this hoir.ble massacre has been perpetrated.
