FOR THE ADVOCATE.

Brindietoaon, fl. T. .aug.4, IS32.
 My DEAR SIR-By an act of the late session of Congress, we have two addl- tional Land Offices established: one at Washington, in Hampstead, and the other at Fayetteville, in Washington county. The creation of the land dis tricts to which these offices appertain, IS unquestionably a salutary measure, and will be attended with much con venience to the citizens residing in the southern and western parts of the Ter ritory. But, sir, with regard to the location of the office in the Fayetteville district, we think the Delegate has been extremely unfortunate. The lands sub- ject to entry at that office lie principally in Washington. Crawford and Pope From the eastern boundary of Pope. it is probably l30 or 40 miles to Favette. vile, while from the latter place to the western boundary of the Territory. is not more than IS or 20 miles. From the most southern par. of the land dis trict to Fayetteville, is largely upwards of 100 miles; while from the latter place to the Missouri line, on the north. is not more than 25 miles. It is true. sir, that Washington is populous and highly respectable county. But so are the counties of Crawford and Pope; and if the convenience and good of the people was the principal object of the Delegates ambition, why not select d more central position than Fayetteville? say Crawford c. H. or some other point in that county. Why, sir, the object is apparent: the Delegate is already po- pular in Washington county, received a liberal support from It's citizens at the

INDIAN WAR.
Sr. LOUIS, July r.

ST. LOUIS, July IT. Our latest information from the from tier is to the 10th inst. received by a gentleman direct from the army. He states, that, on the 4th, the main army under General Atkinson, arrived at the foot of Lake Cosh-co-nong, formed by an expansion of Rock river, where the Indians had been embodied for some time, and where, it was supposed, they were determined to make stand; but they had fled, directing heir course to the junction of White Water with Rock river. A Ashort distance above this point, they dispersed in small parties, entered swamp near the junction, through which they passed, and on emerging from 1t on the north side again concen- trated, and took N. E. course up the main branch Of the latter river, in the direction of Winnebago Lake; within short distance of which there is known to be many strong positions, rendered almost inaccessible to a large body of men, from the impenetrable swamps by which they are surrounded. Two brigades, and 300 mounted men, un- der the command of General Dodge, were immediately despatched by the commanding General, in the direction of Fort Winnebago, for the purpose of intercepting the enemy, and cutting off their retreat into the Chippewa coun- try, for which point it is believed they are making; having, no doubt, given up all hope of re-crossing to the west side of the Mississippi.
 The approach of the army to the re- cent strong hold of the Indians, at the foot of Lake Cosh-ko-nong, we are in- formed, was attended with almost in- sufmountable difficulties; the horses and men, in many instances, sinking to their necks in the imperceptible quag- mires with which it abounds.
 The Indians are supposed to be much distressed for provisions; evident signs appearing at most of the strong holds from which they have been recently driven, of their having lived upon the inner bark of trees, roots, &c. in pre- ference to eating their horses,-to the use and heetness of which may be as- crihed most of the murders that have been committed; and by means of which they no doubt hope to escape the punishment they are we'll aware must, sooner or later, overtake them. At nearly every encampment they have made on Rock river, old men and wo- Inen have been found abandoned to

last AugustelectioIl, andno offers them this naofceau from the public crib, as remuneration for past favors, and as d brl6e for future support. But, sir, when the enlightened yeomanry of that eoun- ty reflect on the primary object in view, aid perceive tic done the citizens of Crawford and Pope. we cannot but believe that the Delegates course will be regarded as highly repre- hensIble, and so far from increasing his popularity in the west, will, ill our humble opinion, produce a contrary et- feet. Will the citizens of Washington catch at the profiered bal, or will they, with indignant feelings, repel the ai- tempt to bug their suflrages? The ides of August, 1883, will show. In re- gard to the Register and Receiver of public monies at Fayetteville, l know butlittle. Permit me, however, to cx- press my astonlshment, and to say that the appolntments-are most extraordinary. This, sir, seems 10 be an age of won ders, signalized by much that is oul of thccommon course of things. The lief !crsc:';an test is ;io longer applied ;i appointments, and all that seems now to be necessary to elevate man to of fees of trust and profit, is party deuo- tion. This corrupting policy, emana- ting from the Chief who presdes at the helm of government, and extending ifs influence throughout the ranifleatlons of a party of heterogeneous principles and diversified interests, threatens in its course to destroy the independent action of the elective franchise and to render elections mere scramble, a mere lottery for office, in which all principle and every patriotic considera- ton is to be sacrificed with an eye to the aspotis oi Otctory. And now, sir, is this alarming evil to be remedied Not by a removal of the Delegate alone. It will be necessary to strike at the root of the evil. The national ad- minstration must be changed, and all others in power who act solely on the principle of punishng enemies and re- z0ardsag friends. The guidance of the helm of State must be confded 10 com potent hands. A man ofenlarged, lib eral and enlightened views must direct our destinies, before we can expect a better state of things. With HENRY CLAY in the Presidential chair, we may expect the government administer ed with honesty, ability, impartiality. and a maenanimity characteristic of his great and comprehensive mind. Then, and not till then, may we expect radi- cal reformation of the abuses and un- precedented misrule of this administra- ton. Seriously, yours,
 ELLINGTON.

 SIR: -four ictter of yesterday was handed to me this morning.
 arrived here last nigi,t in the steam boat Sheldon Thompson, with four com panes United States troops. Three other steamers are expected ill as many days, with tine remainder of the forces from the east.
 Four suspicious cases of sickness oc- cured before our arrival at Mackinaw. Enc men were left in convalescent state al that place, on the night of the 7th. The remainder of the troops con tinued perfectly healthy till the morn ing of the 9th, the cholera manifested itself in l2 or l5 of the men. Yester- day We had twenty additional cases, and in the two days we have had I5 deaths. Of the remaining sick, We nope and expect to save ' or s. that proportion being decidedly convales- cent, and in the last l2 hours there nave been only some 1 or , new cases. The disease is manilestly subsiding.
 In this state of things, and for the want of information as 10 the general state of the war, it will be impossible for me in a few days, to make any movement. am also extremely anx- ious to stop the spread of disease among the troops which have just arrived, to prevent injecting the inhabitants and the volunteers who are in the feld.- For this purpose, Major Whistler, and his two healthy companies, have been ordered to eneamp two miles off, and 1 wish you either to remain where you are, or 10 take a position near to this place, with a view to correspond with me and supplies.
 Fort Dearborn will be converted iui. a Hospital. Troops, two or three miles from it, will be as safe from in lection as if at the distance of fifty. rely upon your zeal and patriotism to quiet all apprehensions among your men for their safety against cholera. As soon as l shall be able to separate the sick from the healthy on board the several steamers, and be certain thai there will be nc danger of a further spread of the cholera, shall wish to commence operations, and then your , mounted men will be of great value te 1 the service.
 Let me hear from you as you have any thing interesting to communicate.
 In haste, remain, with great respect

 ST. LOUIS, July 2l.
 The Indian War is, for the present, at an end. Our army, as was stated Tn our last paper, marched in pursuit Of the enemy, who were said to be en- camped near the four lakes. When Gen. Atkinson reached lake Cosh-ko- nong, (which on Tanners map of 1890, IS placed near the junction of the river Goose-ke-hawn with Rock river) he found the country clear, and his long sought enemy vanished. The Indians, if is supposed, have made for the Chip peway country, and will endcavor to cross the Mississippi, but far beyond any white settlements. Gen. Atkin- son expecting, when he marched, to meet the enemy in a short time, had taken with him but a small quantity of provisions, in consequence Of which he was obliged to halt and divide his forces, at the lake above named. He himself, with the regulars, some six hundred and fifty strong, remained at the lake 1; the militia, consisting of three brig ades under Generals Posey, Dodge, and Henry, and of about 20O0 men. were ordered 10 march to Fort Winnebago, on the Ouisconsin, where stores were hourly expected. It was the intention of the commanding General to consoli- date his forces and renew the pursuit as soon as he had obtained sufficient stores.
 The march of the army was exceed ingly laborious and fatiguing. The greater part of the country they passed over was complete marsh, formed by bodies of water beneath the surface of the earth. Men and horses sunk to a considerable depth at every step. A gentleman who was with the army, in- forms us that he was on large mound, fifteen or twenty feet high, which could be shaken by single man, like boat on the water.
 The whole army, regulars or irregu- lars, officers and soldiers, had enjoyed excellent health, and were sustained throughout their encampment and march by full confidence in their General.
 We believe there is no expectation that our army will again meet with the Indians. Black Hawk will not expose himself and his band to the certain de- struction that would follow from gen. eral engagement; the late successes of the whites il, skirmishes, and the number of scouting parties through the country, will prevent the recurrence of the depredations and murders by small parties, which made the begin ming of this contest so terrible and al- arminp.
