inhabitants there were fallen upon by hostile Indians and many people murdered—Aug. 15. The garrison of the fort was commanded by Capt. N. Heald, assisted by Lieutenant Helm. The young wives of both officers were in the fort. The garrison and the family of Mr. Kinzie, living near by, were on friendly terms with the surrounding Irrison and white settlers went out of the gate of the fort in procession, like a funeral march. The band struck up the Dead March in Saul. The wives of Heald and Helm rode on horseback by the side of their husbands; the former, a good shot, was armed with a rifle. They had not gone far when their savage escort, 500 strong, fell own language, and with half a smile, Surely you'll not kill a squaw! The appeal saved her life, and she lived until 1860. A young savage attempted to tomahawk Mrs. Helm.

f coming home to be disciplined the Southern soldier was received with open arms as a hero by those from whom he least expected such welcome, and the parable of the prodigal son was exemplified. The fatted calf was killed and the veal was made his portion. At the first election which followed in August, 1865, with soldiers at the polls and the returned Confederates disfranchised, the radical party was defeated, and two years later, upon a platform reaffirming the Kentucky resolutions, John L.
