THE WESTERN ttUN FIXCEXXES, SEPTEMDER 22, 1827.

INDIAN AFOLIS, Sept. 11. Mr. Knight and party commenced the permanent location of the National Road to the west of this place, on yesterday. The road crosses White river some few poles north of Washington street. The road will be permanently located as far as the state line dividing Indiana and Illinois, and it is expected they will be enabled to run a random line from thence to Var.dalte, during the present season. Indianaficlis Gazette. vandaha, Sept. 15. We have conversed with a gentleman who left the Mines at Fever river on the 10th inst. who informed us, that a junction of the troops had been effected near the Portage between the Ouisconsin and Pox rivers. Gen. Atkinson had written to the citizens ci Galena, advising them to be on their guard, as he considered that they were in danger. He had taken some Indians prisoners, who represented to him, that the great body of the Indians were much alarmed, and were willing to submit to any terms he might impose upon them. The general however, will not be deceived by

this intelligence. They have endeavored to impress this idea upon our citizens from the commencement of our difficulties, with a view to prevent the adoption of necessary measures cf defence on our part. We learn that all business at the Mines is suspended ; some of the stoics are closed, and every thing is at 3 stand. A large portion of our adventurers have returned home- the most efficient of those remaining in the upper counti y, are now in service with the U. S troops. Three months since it was supposed that there were lisingof 5000 men employed at the Mines the estimate now is only about 700. Genl Gaines arrived at St. Louis last week, on his way to our northern frontier, to take command of the army. It is said the remainder of the troops at St. Louis will accompany him to the upper country. rnmcial ) kaskaskia, Aug. 21, 1827. sir You will take immediate measures for detaching into service, and Tor hating in readiness to march at a moments warn ing, whenever thereto lawfully required, one'eomptete battalion of infantr) fiom that portion of the militia under your command, which is contained in the counties south of Shelby, Montgomery, Sang amon, Morgan and Calhoun counties, the mili:ia of which,' together with that of ad those counties lying north of them, arc in pursuance of the powers vested in me by law, exempted from the draft hereby ordered..
