The steamboat Caro!:ue, Capt. Fax, reported in last Friday's Chronicle to hare pasted up with military stores for th army at fort Wilborn, returned this" msrnintr on her passage down, having been unable from the lotv stage of the water, to proceed more than sixty miles up. The freight was 6ent on to the place destination in a keel und flat boat, which the Csrolioe had io tow, by part of tie crew. Bv several gentlemen on board, we were fa

vored with the following information, which

coming to them through the source which it

did, may be relied ou as correct.

Sometime bween three and four days ao,--.

a detachment of about 160 regulars weie gent

under the command of Major Morgan to guard

some provisions from ion wnoorn to tort At

kinson, and when arrived within ton miles of

the latter place, struck their camp for the night and erected a temporary stockade, when

in a short time afterwards, they wen attacked by a body of about 500 mounted Indian9; the

action wa kept cp pretty briskly on both sides

far about fifteen or twenty minutes, when the appearance of a detachment of about five hundred mounted volunteers coming to the relief of the regulars, caused the Indiana to make a precipitate retreat, leaving dead on the field

15 of their warriors; but it is supposed that

loss amounts to 35 or 40 the lo?a on the part of the whites is one killed.

It appears that the Indians are bow between us and the main body of the army, which, if it is the case, and there is no reason to doubt it we see no possible means by which they can effect their escape, and their destruction ie inevitable.
