"A small scouting party, belonging to Col. Watie's command, a few days since, between here and Evansville, fell in with a squad of Pin Indians, killed about 10, and dispersed the balance of them."

"Col. Stand Watie, arrived in this city on Monday evening last. We are glad to learn of the improvement of the health of his family, and trust that sickness will not soon again require his absence from the post of duty."
