Palladium Of Virginia And The Pacific Monitor

From the Frankfort Ky Commentator.

A report has got into circulation, and found its way into the Louisville papers, that a man by the name of Greer has just returned to this town from a long captivity among the Indians, by whom he was made prisoner at the battle of Raisin; that he had brought news that Capt Graves was still living, a prisoner, &c. We thought this tale unworthy of any notice, until we were informed that individuals had been induced to travel many miles to have an interview with the new found soldier, in the hope of obtaining some news of lost friends, who were last seen in the battle. We notice it now only to prevent similar occurrences. We have no personal knowledge of the individuals Greers, but are satisfied that this story is, to say the least of it a hoax. Gentlemen who served in Captain Hickman's company to which Greers pretends to have belonged, we are told, do not recognize him, and his name is not to be found on the rolls, which are still in possession of the Lieutenant.
