An officer now on the expedition against the Indians after describing the awful effect of the Cholera among the troops observes- 'Thus we see that this part of the expedition is strewed like chaff, by a blast of the pestilence. It is an illustration of the displeasure of the Almighty at our treatment of that poor starved race of beings, whom our injustice drives to madness.'
