New YoRK, july S.

Since our publication on Tuesday, there has
been a series OF alarms of fire. Much property
has been DESTROYED, and one valuable life lost
There is no reason to doubt that much. if not all,
tbs mischief was owing TO the firing of crackers,
which, notwithstanding the new and heavy penal.
ty. was kept up all yesterday in the usual style,
without stint or intermssion, or regard for the
safety of the houses.
We are sorry to have to add two more fires &C..
casioned by the firing of crackers. The elegant
Dutch reformed Church, at Poughkeepsie, under
the pastoral care Of Rev. DR.. Cuyler, was set on
fire yesterday, by some lads who got access to the
stseple, whence they threw down those destruc.
tive missiles upon the roof, which was destroyed
and the building otherwise much injured. The
damage done is estimated at IRON 1000 to $500.
The Masonic Hall at Hudson was destroyed near
ly in the same way.

Information has reached the War Department
from the head quarters OF General Atkinson. 100!
of Illinois Rapids, the Esd June. stating mat '!e
neral Atkinson was to march on that day with
the Illinois militia, and about 400 regular troops,
10 attack the Indians who were stationed on ROck
River, in the neighborhood Of the -Four Lakes,
where they detach small parties OF IL, 90. and
40 men to annoy the frontiers and commit dspre'
datons-that on the 10th Captain Snyder's CON.
PAW of volunteers had rencontre on the bead
Of Plain river, with party Of 40 or so Indians,
and killed FIVE. with loss OF three on the part
of the whites-that ON the same day Gen. Dodge,
at the head of 81 men, fell in with party OF
III Sac Indians, strongly posted under the bank
Of lake on the Psketalica. and succeeded Ia
killing the whole number, having three of his
own party wounded-that about the same time
one white man was killed on the Ia Pave River,
another on the Bureau, and five near the Blue
Mound Diggngs-,hat General Atkinson expect.
ed to be upon the ground at that time occupied
by the Indians on the S0th June.-Globe.
1t is with no pleasure we prepare our readers
for news Of bloodshed from the West But we
are confident in the expectation that IT the lndi-
ans do not decamp before our troops aud militia
reach the ground where they are said TO be sta
toned, few will be suffered to escape alive. A
general massacre will be the inevitable conse
Suence. General Atkinson could not prevent
it il he would; and we doubt whether it be not
part of his orders that il should take place. DR.
dered or not, the blood Of the whites is up. and
nothing but blood will appease them.-Nat. mi.
