Mr.. Van Buren as u candidate for the Vice
Presidency. That as the friend of Col. John

every member OF the Convention should hear

TO the Administration Of General Jackson,
that it might at once be known that so far as
Colonel Johnson was concerned, all hopes Of

INDIAN WAR.

The steamboat Herald, Capt. Fleish-
man, in rs hours from St. Louisa
most extraordinary quick passage
brings us proclamation from the Gov
ernOr of Illinois to the citizens Of that
state, from which it appears, that bloo-
dy and successful attack has been made
by the Indians upon detachment of
volunteers. We learn by private let
ter, that fifty two Of the volunteers were
killed, among whom were Col. Crane,
Col. Thomas, Major Morgan, and Capt.
Bailey.
AT the date of the last accounts, Gen.
Atkinson, the Commander in chief of the
United States forces, was in a most per-
ilous situation. He had sent out sever
al expresses for supplies, and every man
had been cut off. The keel boats des-
tined with supplies above the Rapids,
had not been heard of, and it was sup
posed that they had been captured and
their crews massacreed. Intelligence
so painful has not been anticipated

ton of our frontiers, the reader IS refer

To the Militia ofthe State of Lhnois--
1t becomes my duty again to call on you
for your services in the defence Of your
country. The State is not only invaded
by the hostile Indians, but many of our
citizens, have been slain in battle. A
detachment of the mounted volunteers
commanded by Major Suliman Of about
275 in number, were overpowered by
the hostile Indians on Sycamore creek,
distance from this place 80 miles, and
considerable number Of them killed
This is an act of hostility which cannot
be misconstrued.
I am of ofopinion that the Pettawatimies
and Winnebagoes have joined the Sacs
and Foxes, and all may be considered a.
waging 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 held.
l have made the necessary requisi-
tons on the proper officers for the above
number, Of mounted men, and have no
doubt that citizens soldiers Of the State
obey the call of their country. They

down stairs, and out at the back door.
The alarm was instantly given TO those
in the front of the house, that Stone was
making off, when White ran around to
the back of the house to head him.
Stone, though some distance off, on see
ing White, wheeled and levelled his gun

waiting for a second aim, Stone pursued
his way few steps further, when, in
turning to observe White, he struck his
foot against fence rail- and fell over it.
White was then within thirty yards of
him, and pointing his gun at Stone, fired
as he rose, and Stone received nearly
the whole charge in his hip, the ball, md
some of the shot, from the position he
was in, passing through the kidneys
