INDIAN WAR

Defeat of The Militia From source on
which reliance may be placed, We have learned
the following particulars. The detachment con.
cerned in the engagement (about 275 men) had
been encamped at Dixon's Ferry for several
DAYS before the arrival of the main cody OF the
militia under thelcommand Of Gen. Whltesides
immediately thereafter request was preferred
BY Major SuIman, who commanded the detach-
ment, to be allowed to go out upon scouting
expedition, which was granted b. General w.
On Monday. the 18th, the detachment met a
small party Of Indians, aud Killed two' ana
made two others prisoners. They continued
their route. and encainped for the night IN an ad.
vantageous position, dense wood, surrounded
BY prairie. Almost as soon as they had dismounted,
turned their horses loose and commenced prepare
tions for supper, small party OF Indians were u.s.
covered in the ne,ghborhood OF the encampment,
bearing white flag Captain Fades, with lew
men, was sent out to meet them, when the ind!-
ans commenced preeipitate retreat. ms ON
Ger being az quainted with the Indian mole OF
warfare, and suspecting an ambush, followed
them as far as he deemed prudent, and then or
dered his men to fall back upon the main party.
Although it was nearly dark, the whole detach-
ment had been ordered to remount, and were met
upon the route by the men who were returning
The pursuit was conducted without any regard
to discipline, and had continued Tor seVerai miles,
the Indians recedng IS the troops advanced un'
til they had decoyed them across Sycamore
Greek, as it is called in the proclamation. This
they did in disorder. and as each man success
sively reached it. Being thus decoyed into the
midst of the main body Of the Indians. and with
out being allowed time to form, hostilit'es were
commenced. The Indians showed themselves on
every quarter, mountsd and armed. They CON.
menced the attack with their guns, and. after fir.
ing them, resorted to the use OF tomahawks and
knives. As soon as their desperate situation
was known, Major Stilman ordered retreat
across the creek, after an Intellectual fire at the
enemy. The savages followed close upon them.
No time was allowed for them to form on the

Speech of WAsHINeroN IRvISe, at the public
dinner given to him in New York.
Mr.. Irving on rising was greatly agitated by
the warm cheers with which he was hailed. He
observed, that he believed most Of his hearers
were sensible of his being wholly unused to pub.
lie speaking, but he should be wanting in the feel
inss of human nature if he was not reused and
excited by the present scene. After renewed
cheering he proceeded in, as nearly as can be re-
collected, the following w0rds;-"l find myself,
after long absence of seventeen years, surround
ed by the friends of my yOuth-by those whom
in my early days was a. customed to look up to
with internationally others, who though person.

triarchs Of my native city. The manner in which
have been received by them, has rendered this
the proudest, the happiest moment of my life

was too proud to vindicate myself from such
charge; nor should have alluded to it at this
time, If the warm and affectionate reception
have met with on all sides since my landing, and
the overpowering testimonials Of regard here Of
fered me, had not proved that my misgivings were
groundIess. Cheers and clappng here inter

vented me from seeing the ravages Of time.

An evidence of the disposition to 60 seriously
to work may be'discovered, on the part OF the
House of Representatives, (says the National In
teligencer,) in the determination to meet for the
rest of the Session, at the early hour OF 10, and
in the refusal to consider proposition, the ultl-
mate object of which was to fix day for the ter
mination Of the Session.
As to the probable duration Of the Session,
there are various opinions; we have, in our own
mind, fixed upon the 18th Of next month as its
probable limit.

On giving in the votes for Vice President,
in the Jackson convention, George krenaer,
who had been designated TO give those OF
PENNSYLVANIA. handed TO the President a pa
per on which was written, "PeHnsyiranlG-
George Kremer." This puzzled the Presi-
dent somewhat, as it seemed uncertain wheth
err the vote of Pennsylvania had not been
given for honest George instead OF Mr.. an
buren,, as expected. The President, after
reading the paper, asked for whom Pennsyl
vania voted, and how many votesP Upon
which MIR. k replied, "For Martin Wa
Buren,, dirty sotes." A correspondent, who
communicates the particulars, and who signs
himself ~ PeHns1Rranim." says that "Mr.
Kremer was the best man that the bali dozen
OF Nh. Van BureR's friends in the Conven-
ton could have selected, to disgrace my
native State in the eyes OF. refined and
intelligent people-BaH Chron.
sEThe correspondent of the Pennsylvania
Inquirer at Baltimore says, cit was known
that a majority Of the Virginia Delegation
were for MIR. Van Buren,, but out Of courtesy,
the majority gave way 10 the minority, and
the State voted for Mr.. Barbour on the first
6allotn
..Courtesy!" 1t is obvious that the sup
port Of Barbour was all a sham: that noses
were counted beforehand, and the selection
OF Van Buren, well ascertained. Had that
been doubtiui; had Barbour had a chance
OF receiving the nomination, the Virginia
Delegates would have discarded courtesy,
and voted in the first instance for MIR. Van
Buren,. In truth, the Convention was got
up to nominate Mr.. Van Buren,: got up by
Kendall, and the Hon. Isaac Hill for the
express purpose, and throughout the Union
with half a dozen distant and uniformed
exceptions, none were sent 10 Baltimore but
hose who had already made known their pre-
elections for him. 1t is disingenous TO pre-
tend hat any other man had the least chance
of obtaining the nomination.-Uhig

LOUISVILLE, {ky) May %.
The steamboat Herald, Capt. Fieishman.
in seventy four hours from st. Louis; a most
extraordinary quick passage-briogs us a
proclamation from the Governor Of Illinois
to the citizens of that State, from which 1T
appears, that a bloody and successful attack
La, been made by the hostile Indians upon a
detachment Of mounted volunteers. We
learn, by a private letter, that fifty W. OF
the volunteers were killed, among whom
were ColoneIs Crane and Thomas, Major
Morgan, and Capt Bailey.
AT the date of the last accounts, Gen. At
kinson, the Commanders Chief Of the u
nited States forces, was in a most ~periIous
situation. He had sent out several expires
ses for supplies, every one Of which had been
killed. The keel boats, destined with sup
plies above the Rapids, had not been heard

tured and their crews massacred Intelli-

1t becomes my duty again TO call upon
you for your services in defence Of your
country. The State is not only invaded by
the hostile Indians, but many of your citi-
gems have been slain in battle. A detach-
ment Of the mounted volunteers, command
ed by Major Stillman, of about 275 10 mum
Der, were overpowered by the hostile In
dams on Sycamore Creek, distast from this
place about thirty miles, and a considerable
number of them killed. This is an act of
hostility which cannot be misconstrued.
am OF opinion that the Pottawatamics
and Winnebagoes have joined the Sacs and
Foxes, and all may be considered as waglng
war against the United States
To subdue these Indians and drive them
out OF the State, it will require a force of at
least two thousand mounted volunteers more,
in addition to the troops already in The feld.
| have made the necessary requisItlon on
the proper officers for the above number OF
mounted men, and have no doubt that cri-
zen soldiers of the State win obey the call OF
their country. They will meet at Hinepin,
on the Illinois river, in companies OF 80 men
each, on the 10th of June next, TO be orga-
nized into a Brigade. JOHN REYNOLDS.
