Mad Buffalo and Little Eagle, the two Osage Indians who had been for
a long time in prison in this place, under sentence of death, and who
were recently pardoned by the President of the U.S. had reached their
nation. They parted company soon after leaving this place, and pursued
their journey by different routes. The former was much exhausted by the
fatigue and hunger which he endured during his journey through the
wilderness, and was almost starved on his arrival. Little Eagle fared
much better, he having subsisted on deer and turkeys which he killed on
his route. We understand they were somewhat dissatisfied with their
detention here, and that they gave a very ludicrous and amusing account
of their trial, imprisonment, and treatment, while they sojourned among
us.

The steam boat Louisville, Capt. Curry, arrived at this place early on
Wednesday morning last from New-Orleans, and passed up the river on the
say day for Cantonment Gibson. The keel-boat which she had in tow,
was left about 100 miles below this. Her lading will be taken up
on the return of the steam-boat. We are sorry to learn, that the
Louisville broke her crank about 20 miles above this place, and, on
Saturday last, when we last heard from her, was lying a short distance
below the mouth of the Palarm, repairing damages.

TO THE VOTERS OF PULASKI COUNTY
FELLOW CITIZENS - I tender you my services to represent you in the
Legislative Council of this Territory, at the August Election. One
leading question alone brings me before the people. A BANK, it is said,
will be applied for to the next Legislature. If elected, I shall oppose
it with all the powers of my mind and body. Should the people of the
upper part of this county want a division, I shall certainly feel it is
my duty to support their wishes; and will do it faithfully on all
subjects brought before me.
Your Fellow Citizen,
Isaac Watkins
