INDIAN WAR.-We understand that orders have been
issued from the War Department for the concentration at
Chicago o! about 1000 men OF the regular army from the
garrisons upon the seaboad and the lakes and that Cen
Scott has been directed to take the command of the opera
tons against the hostile Indians. We that measures
have already been taken for raising the mounted rangers
authorized by the recent act of Congress- and that these
will march, without delay TO the of warfare. Gen
Scott has been empowered to call for such militia force
from the adjoining States as circumstances may render
cessarY.
The plan of operations will be by combined movement
of troops under General Scott and those under Gener
al Atkinson, from Chicago and the Mississippi, attack the
Indians ON both sides, aud the country till they
entirely subdued We informed that General Scott
has orders TO reduce them unconditional submission
not to suspend his operations while any OF the hostile In
dams remain OF the Mississippi They will be re-
CURED TO cross that river and TO repair TO such district
may be assigned so them. And such arrang emens are
contemplated concerning boundary lines, coctually
prevent the recurrence OF similar aggressions. The
render OF the Black Hawk and his principal Chiefs
hostages for these people, and secure the frontier
against their future cruelties, is made Indispensable
There is reason iowever TO hope, that the force
under General Atkinson If the last call the Governor of
Illinois has been fully oheyed will have checked il not
suhdued the Indians before the arrival of General Scott

termination OF this murderous and most unpIovoked

We but hope, that in the state of things in the

THE CHoLERA.-It is 40 longer denied that the Asia

The unprecedented number of emigrants who have ar
rived at quebec during the present season. and many of
them in destitute condition, furnish the most fatal mate
rails for proPagatng the Cholera. Take the following
