ARKANSAS DEC. 30.
INDIAN HOSTI-iTIES.

The long-expected war between the
Usage and Cherokee nations al inaians,
has at length broke out. Report saws
that the former are the aggressore. We
understand that party of about 70 81
the Osages, made an attack OH . hun,ing
camp Of the Chcrokees, short time
since, in which the latter had two Killed
and one wounded, and lost all their horses
and other property; the Osages had
one killed. This affair took place Oh
the Poto, and no great distance from Fort
Smith.
Gov. Miller has been at Fort Snlith,
and in the Indian country, since arly in
November, endcavouring to settle the
disputes between the hostile nations
but without success. When the news
of the above affair was received by the
Cherokees, they could no longer be re-
strained and Gov. Miilerwas reluctant
ly obliged to let them settle their disputes
in their own way.
The Cherokees have for some time
shown hostile disposition towards the
Osages, and it is said, are determined to
drive them from their country, and pos
sess it themselves. We also learn, that
the Shawanees and Delawares, now on
their way to this Territory from Indiana,
intend Joining the Cherokecs-if this be
correct, we have no doubt that the re-
suit of these hostile movements will be
fatal to the Osages.
The Osages are bold and warlike
people, but it is said, they are badly sup
piled with arms and ammunition-their
principal weapons are bows and arrows;
they have few muskets and shot guns,
but make very little use of the rifle
The Cherokees are said to be we'll sup
piled with every thing necessary for. a
vigorous prosecution of the war.
Let the result of these movements be
as they may, the white inhabitants set
tied in the country known by the name
of Lovely's Purchase, will be placed in
perilous situation.
We understand that party of Osages
lately went to the house of citizen Of
Hampstead county on Red river, while
the male part of the family were away
from home, and robbed it of every thing
of value they could find. They also car
ried off 4 or s horses.
Usage AAission.-The Missionary F'a.
nily started from Little Rock on the
18th of this month, to continue their jour
ney up the Arkansas. The river had
risen earlier than usual, and they set ou
with a prospect of speedily reaching
their place of destination. On arriving
at Cadron, they received the disagreed
5 BILE news Of the hostile movements OF tht
Indians. This intelligence must hav'

scribe and pay for it themselves, like
white men; but they said the times were
so hard they couldn't afford it. Your
last paper arrived this morning; and
when | read the governors letter, re-
questing you not to send him any more
papers, thought l would by some
means endeayor to make up your loss !;
and it was not long before three of my
neighbors came in to read the news. l
read the letter to them, and they APP
peared to be very sorry for your misior-
tune and l finally told them that they
must subscribe for the paper themselves,
or would refuse 10 lend them mine, or
let them read it. So two Of them clubb'd
together and gave methree dollars, which
! enclose in this letter, and Cor which
you will please to send them paper
with mine. The other, who lives across
the prairie, says he will subscribe when
the State Bank gets into operation. So

much by Withdrawing his subscription.
