O 1 Tueflay evening lift, a militia officer with ten mm, arrived at this plce from Kafkafci, with uilpatrhcs from governor lid wards to governor Harrifon, and others for the fecretaiy of wir, to be put into the pad-office here. The information brought Ly this command is extremely unpleafant and we fear there is little room to hope that a rupture with the Indians can be avoided.

After the murder of the nun mentioned in our p:?per of the 15th ultimo, one man had been killed, and another mortally wounded, in Woodrivcr townlhip, above Cihok'n. It is a'.fo certain that an Indian was mortally wounded 0:1 the Milfillippi, above St. Louis, in an attempt that was made by five of them t.) baud a ferry bot, in which a pirty was crolT111gtI1.it river. -But the mud diftrelling news, is, the account of the murder of three whole families, on th.- frontiers of Randolph county in th- Illinois this n:ws had not rescind Ka&ifkU when the above oartv left that pi -ice however, we fear it is hut too tru. No doubt exilts but that thefe hoftilicies proceed finm the Shaw, anoe Prophet It is beiirved that the banditti of Putawatamies r.nd other tribes on the Illinois river, are entirely devoted to him. The above. "events prove the correlnefs of the policy purfurd uy our' executive Uft year, and Tumid nleucr every murmur of difcootent srJ will, we think, convince the general government of the impropriety of admitting fo large a body of Indians, profcftVdly hoftik, longer remaining on our immediate frontier. We flatter ourfclves fuch mcafures will be immediately taken as will for the future filence every rumor of liodilcis the prefent fafety, and future profperity of our country, &s veil as the policy of the United States requires it. Thurfday, the 4th day of July--tbe day which gave birth to American Independence, was celebrated by the mechanics and citizens of the town and vicinity, with all that zeal and eiithjOaftn which the recollection of an event fj memorable in the anjnls of our hiftory could infpire. Sociality and good humor marked the conduct and countenances of all prciVn. Tlie declan tior. of Independence was read by G W. Johnfton tfo. and a fli.irt, but appropriate tirdtion was delivered. After paruking of an elegant rep til, p?epred bv P. Beckys for the occifion, the following toafts were dranlc, accompanied by the fire of a pNtoon to each toill.

HEAD-QUARTERS, VINCENNES, July 3J, 1811. General Orders for the Militia. THE murders and depredations which have lately been committed by the Indians in the Illinois territory, and the general afpedl of Indian affairs throughout our north weftern frontier, makes it imperioufly neceffary that meafures mould be immediately taken to put the militia of the territory on the moR refpedUble footing.
