Rock River to the place where the Indians are
said to be. This evening an express was received, conveying the Intelligence that Black Hawk und bis hand, amoulmg to about fiOO, besides women and children, with!the same number ofhnr-
ses and about 100 canoes, had passed Dixon's;
destination, as thev stated, to raise com and
build a town on the Pottawattomies' land, a distance of about 12 mile above Dixon's. It is al
so stated that more canoes were yet to pass up
the river.
. Mi Dixon wrote to Gen Gtillman en the 28
ult. that he had received a letter from Mr. Gra
tiot, dated Black Hawk's Camp, April 26th,v and that he had received a slip of paper of the
game data, and written about an hour after the
other in which Mr. Gratiot says: war is pe CLAR-Ed! SEND OUT EXPRESSISP
It is mix generally believed that tht Indians
will endeavor to maintain their groind, and
there will be some Ightiog. The men are plea
d to bear that they may have an opportunity of rhaitUing the Indians at lat, far the trouble
and loss they have sustained by reason of their
violation of solemn treaties. &x
There are about 1700 mounted men and 200
infantry in the army. I he infantry were con
veyed in a steam boat, and will meet us at the
Yellow Banks Your friend, fee. DAVID PR1CKETT S S. Bboks, Esq. INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
Information has been received from th Head
Quarters of Geueral Atkinson, dated 27th of A
nl, stating
" That the conduct of Black Hawk and hi
astociatt-s. renders it necessary that he should
at once take the field, and. as far as possible.
prevent tbem from doing any mischief; that Mr
Gratiot, Indian agent, has just arrived from the Prophet Village. Ill irk Hawk and his party were there Yesterday, they set out, in company with the Prophet's hand, for the purpose cf takmg t position on Ror k River, some fifteen or twenty miles above Ogee's, now Dixon's ferry, where they are determined to hold out, in denmce of any force that can, they say, be sent ngtin.t then. They have the British flag hois ted. ucder which the war dance is constantly
ehibited. Thev must be checked at once, or
the wh-.ls frontier mil be in a flame."

JtlW Steam hoat disasters. We learn from
the Boston Daily Advertiser, that on Friday af
ternoon, soon after the new steamer King Philip
lelt iNewport for Providence, with 90 past-en gers, the deck beneath the boiler gave away, the grate fell into the lower, hc'.J and st the vessel on fire. A signal of distre.-s was ma le, and the tire got under The l?enj. Franklin, which was at the wharf at Newport, immedi ately started, took the King Philip in tov Vack to Newport, and then proceeded to Piovidence w ith the passengers of both boats.

I leave mj body to be dressed in a flannel waistcoat, an old suitout coat, and breeches without linings or pockets, no shoes, (having done walking.) and a worsted wig, if one can be got, in order thai I may rat comfortably.

jsayir.g no such thing had happened. "Why,
replied the gentleman, "how can a man cross a kennel w ithout potting out his leg. A traveller described the 9ad catastrophe, of being cast away with a few companions opor. an unknown shore. "After walking seerni miles," said he, " in a dreary and desolate country, just as we were givinp ourselves over to despair, we espied a gibbet with a mun hanging upon it. a sight so very promising could ,ut fail to rake our spirits, as we were convinced wc were now coming into n civilized part of tho world.
