Th p ri'ions state of our fellow citizens ofj t!:i:ioi-, iind the prospect of a continuance ofj the war for soma months, suggests the pro-i priety of assistance from this state. Having no or...iz:s(l militia, (at least in this quarter,) the o.ily means left is the formation of voloii-j teei companies. Arms and ammunition, and means of transportation to the scnc of action, will, we have no doubt, he furnished by government officer?. By timely aid, a like catami'y on our own borders may be prevented: f r it is easy to forsee that if these Indian ire not eflVotuallv quelled, the same hostile spirit will ho infused into all the border, fribes, Missouri Rep.

trous reports by a short steamboat passage from Galena. It was reported there, by persons ho were ia the engagement, that 25 cr 57 men only were killed. In lh other particulars, the above details are nearly correct. Easiness in Galena was entirely suspended, and the families in the surrounding country wre moving in for protection. As a proof of the rapidity with w hich the Indians traverse th- c umin, it is stated, that a runner from the Black Hawk and his allies, beariig to the Missouri Indians news of the defeat of the militia, arrived at the Des Moines Rapids, 'wenty four hours before the expresB sent by Gov.

Columbus, May 26. Frequent enquiries are made of us to know what has been done by the Supreme Court with the case of John Jones; in answer to which it may be necessary to state for the satisfaction oi those residing t a distance, that in consequence
of an act of the late legislature for changing
the time ot holding said court, it did not set as u-
sual, on the first Monday of May, but will com
mence lis session on Monday next. Jones' case will probably be disposed cf by the ourt on the first day of the term; and the result will not likely be known here before Tuesday night or Wednesday morning following. If the proceeediog of the circuit court should not be illegal, and a pardon should not be granted by the governor, h will have to undergo the sentence of (he law on Friday next.

These were sent in the usual manner, to a respectable broker ut Tuscaloosa, presented at the bank for discount, ami the aails transmitted, as directed by the pre
