hdian Hostiifiss. -Information has been re-
ceived from the Head Quarters Of Gen. Akin
son, dated the eth of April, stating
"Tha, the conduct Of Black Hawk and his as.
sociates, renders it necessary that he should at
once take the field, and, as far as possible, pre-
vent them from doing any mischief; that Mr..
Gratiot, Indian Agent, has just arrived from the
Prophet Village. Black Hawk and his party
were there. Yesterday they set out, in compa-
ny with the Prophets band, for the purpose Of
taking position on Rock River; some Is or 90
miles above Ogee's now Dixon's ferry, where
they are determined to hold out in defiance Of
any force that can. they say. be sent against
them. They have the British Aag hoisted, un-
der which the war dance is constantly exhibited.
They must b. checked at once, or The whole from
tier will be in fame. General Atkinson propos-
es moving by Galena, and taking position at
Osee, (Dlxon's ferry,) on the Clark eoad, and
| await there the arrival OF Governor Reynolds
mounted force, when the General presumes the
hostile party can be put down.
"Tn mild talk. sent BY Gen. Atkinson to
Black Hawk, he returned an answer. that his
heart is bad, and that he will fight any force sent
against him.
Great distress is already felt on the from,
tiers. The inhabitants have abandoned their
farms and are falling back tor safety"
Senator 5ucknsr Of Missouri. -This gentle
man has placed himself in dilemma, from which
he will find it impossible to extrlcate himself
without disgrace, disgrace that will cling to
him as long as he cings to life. His testimony
in the case Of Stanbery and Houston, in which
an attempt was made to cast ridicule upon Mr..
Stanbery. whether true or false, must consign
him tBuckner) to all infamv, SO black that it can
never be washed away. The testimony of this
Senator was, that, he was present when the as
sault by Houston vas made upon Mr. Stanbery;
that Houston, after he had knocked down MIR.
Stanbery. continued to beat him; that Mr.. S.,
as the Senator expresses it "hollered;" cried
20 lordy," don't kill me-" &C.; and that
Houston continued his blows until he (Buckner)
hought Mr. Sfanbery ,ous dead! Such is an alb
sra ct of the evidence of the Missouri Senator
Acc ording to his own showing. he saw fellow
member OF Congress assaulted in the night, by a
savage rufian. and without raising his finger or
attempting to interfere, saw him beaten until he
huught him dead II man, Senator, who
could conduct himself thus, is to be believe ed
even upon his oath. does not, IN this instance, his
own words render him more infamous, than the
assassin, who would waylay and stab IN the dark
an object Of loathing and Disgust?

Louis. About o'clock on Monday morning,
about IA miles above La Fourche, when under
weigh. she was discovered TO be on fire. BY
scuttling her and throwing water down both
hatchways, the progress Of the fire was partially
arrested, aud little doubt was entertained but
the boat would have been saved, when dread
full explosion took place in the hold, which blew
the deck. together with the boilers, engine &C.,
and in an instant the whole boat was enveloped
in flames. Several persons who were on deck
at the time the explosion took place were thrown
into the river. The engineer was slightly hurt,
one sailor and a deck passenger seriously burnt,
and one deck passenger is missing, supposed to
have been killed.
