THE INDIAN VAR.

Hostilities will again commence from
this frontier in few days. Already the
troops of the United States, consisting OF
part Of the 18th Regiment, our Rifle com
pany, and tyo of Dragons, with the Caro-
lima militia, are at Fort Hawkins, and in
the different Forts erected in the nation by
General Floyd; and those from North
Carolina in two divisions, amounting to
1900 men commanded by Col. Pearson,
passed through Washington in Wilks
county, on Saturday and Sunday last, on
their way to the general rendezvous. This
force when united, will amount to about
$500 effective men-an army sufficient to
destroy or reduce to order and obedience,
the hostile part of the Creek Nation-but
unless supplies sufficient for the expedition,
making the necessary advance for delay
and accident, shall accompany the troops,
noforce, however brave or numerous, can
perform any important service to their
country in this war. Experience has taught
US this lesson, and we sincerity hope, it
will not be without its effects.
