From gentleman who has been some
time in the Chickasaw uatiou, we have the
following statement. He thinks most OF
the Young warriors Of that nation will GER
,aiuly join in war against the whites, and
the old ones wish them success--he re-
marks that there is less corn planted this
year in the nation than he has known for
many vears--the cabins in many places are
entirely deserted, and the doors filed up
with rails. He states that George Colbert
certainly gives information TO the Greeks
ct the proceedings If the whites. He also
remarks the Chickassws from Big. town re-
gularly send provisions to the party on San
dy. The Creeks who have the scalps are
still in the Indian nation it seems they
were taken on the frontiers of Georgia from
travellers. He represents every thing at
present in favor Of an immediate war, with
all the southern Indians.

Exirac, ofo letter from Brig. Gen. Hull,
dated Stanton, Q. 81 June. 1912.
{" am happy to inform you that | have
received reports already from FIVE or six
Indian villages (since my speech was COM
municated,) the chiefs are now On their
way TO visit me, and the frontiers have al
ready become tranquil"
Copy of letter from Gov. w. H. Hari-
son to Col Christopher Greenup Of Ken
lucky, dated Vincennes, 29,h May
DEAR SIR had this morning the plea
sure to receive from your son the letter
which you did me the honor to write on the
goth inst. The sympathy which you ex-
press for our situation in this territory,
deserves our warmest thanks, and the aid
which is offered is such as | expected from
the known patriotism of your state.
We have had for three weeks past res.
pite from Indian aggressions and coun-
Gil lately held at Missmiway, upon the up
per part of the Wabash, at which was a
considerable asse mblage of Indians, result
ed in determination to remain at peace
with US. have, however, no faith in the
sincerity of this declaration, excepting as
to the Delawares and Miamies and small
part of the Potawatimies. The professions
of the rest are not to be depended upon,
and look for nothing more certainly than
a continuance of those murders and depre.
dations which have for some time past af-
hicted our frontiers. A detail of those
distressing occurrences has been made by
me to the government, and faithful pic
ture given the situation Of the country.
But until receive orders from the Presi.
dent, do not consider myself authorised
to adopt any other than defensive measures,
and as that is kind Of service which lsup
pose would neither suit the wishes nor ex.
pectations of capt Bacon's company, can.
not at present recommend lem TO come
on. But must ask the favor of YOU, sir,
to assure these patriotic citizens that have
proper sense Of their dislnteres,ed and &c.
nerous offer, and in behalf OF the people of
the territory, and for myself individually,
beg them to accept nv most grateful ac-
acknowledgements. tits not improbable that
in very short time their services may be
wanted here, and should have any agency
in the arrangements that may be made to
organize force for offensive operations,
/ shall certainly call upon them.
With great respect and esteem, / am,
dear sir, your humble servant,
WIN. H. HARRISON.
CHRIsropHER GREENup, Esq.

have this moment received a despatch
from Gov. Edwards, informing me that
the Indians had embodied to the amount
OF nearly 500, at Paoria, on the Illinois
river that the major part of the Wincba-
go tribe had marched to join the Prophet,
with avowed hostile intentions those on
the Illinois had disclaimed any design of
doing mischief. Gov. Edwards thinks
they are wavering but he has not the
least doubt of the Prophets perseverance
in his hostile views, and he tn inks that his
force is much greater than it was last sum
mer.
