The North Carolinian

Indian massacre-fourteen Chippewa killed.-Our community has just been startled with the intelligence of another of those sanguinary scenes so common in the annals of the two powerful tribes of the Northwest-the Sioux and the Chippewas.

On Wednesday morning last, about sun-rise, a war party of Sioux, from the villages of Little Crow and Red Wing, surprised a small encampment of Chippewas on Apple river, Wisconsin, and killed and scalped fourteen of them, without loss or injury to the attacking party. They also took one boy prisoner. Few men were with the party of Chippewas, it being mostly composed of women and children, engaged in making sugar.

The fourteen killed comprised three men, three nearly grown boys, six females, women and children, and two male children. The attack was upon ground heretofore ceded by the Sioux to the government, but upon which, by treaty stipulations, they still have the privilege of hunting. The place is twenty or twenty-five miles northeast of Still water.

On Thursday the Sioux warriors appeared in the streets of Stillwater, and went through the scalp dance, in celebration of their victory, forming a circle round the Chippewa boy, their prisoner, and occasionally striking him on the face with their reeking trophies. The boy, we understand, has already been adopted into one of the families at Little Crow village.
