The Indian War is conducted by the Savage en-

ever marked their conflicts. Murder OF the old and
the young, of the drfrnccess infant and unuffend.

FRou ARMY.-Wc learn from several Of the
Volunteers from this place, who have returned that
the mounted mcn undcr Cen. Whitrsid. are disband.
ed, and tina, most ofthem their way home.
This measure has been adopted IN consequence of
the difficulty in obtaining provisions nd opera.
ting adyantageously with tho footmen. The in.
tautry under Gen. Atkinson, have descended Rock
river. Tme Indians are divided into several partss
which enables them TO act with more facility, and
renders pursuit ri them, by 4 large body o! men,
unavang.-By their trails, of them are sup.
posed TO have returned to Rock river, and the 70.
mainder to have ascended Fox river. A detachment
of the Volunteers will remain at Ottawa, TO guard
the frontier, till the arrival of those no are now
their way from the eastern s. southern counties
From pre- sent appearances there is Il prospect of
protracted campaign, the Indians still retaining
their foot hold in the State, and their movements
being conducted with caution and secrecy.
