This malady seems to prevail, to an alarming extent, among the people down the Wabash, particularly in the neighborhood of Lafayette. We were told at iirst that it was confined principally among the old tvomen,bul we now under stand that some of the men have taken it, and it is thought to be worse than the ague. We have not yet seen much sign of it in tbi9 place. The people here appear quite composed; although they aic surrounded with Indians, and expect a large number here this evening they seem to be attending to business as usual, nnd we cannot see why they should not, lor the Indians appear as friendly as ever they did. The following communication is entitled to credit, and we publish it not only for the benefit of our friends below, but for all concerned, and we hope they will give it a careful perusal. INDIAN AGENCY, Lgansport, 2d June, 1832. Iessrs. Editors: The great excitement which exists on the frontier settlements, will, we presume, be a sufficient apology for our troubling you, on the present occasion, with a few remarks. Within the last two or three days, several letters have been received by us, (one of which was sent by express,) requesting information vith regard to the movements, and intentions of the Indians. We can say, with great confidence, that, so far as reyards the Potawattimie and Miami Indians, in this Agency, no fears need be apprehended by the inhabitants on our frontier. The excitement will probably be increased by the remarks made by Gov. Reynolds, of Illinois, in his call on the citizens for additional forces; in which he sas:4kI am of opinion that the Potawattimies and Winnebagoes have joined the hostile Sacs, and all may be considered as waging war against the United States.' The governor, in this remark, did not intend to include the Potawaltimies in Indiana; he alludes only to the Prarie Potawaltimies, residing in the Not thwestern part of Illinois, with whom our Potawaltimies have but little connection. No stronger mark of fiiendship could be asked of the Indians, nor greater as surance given of their confidence in the -while people, th in the fact, that they do, in considerable nn.nbers, daily visit our town, accompanied by their squaws and children; and as officers of government we, unhesitatingly, give it as our opinion, that so far fiom joining the expected foe, the Potawattimie and Miami nations of nnuan, in una ngency, wouiu, wuti lew exceptions, join tnc American forces to repel an invasion of the Western Indians. Both Nations have now large yearly an n vi ties comini: from Government,

To prevent, euch an occurrence runners have been scot to collect all the Indians who have left their villages, and they will be di rected, Alien collected, to remain near this place, or confine them to their ditV crent hoir.es. We have felt ourselves called on to make these remarks, in order losatisfy,' :J possible, the public mind. WM. MARSHALL, Indian Agent. N. D. GROVER, Sub Indian Agent. Trf.

; For several tteys previous they had pur- ! sued the Indians with all practicable

speed, but w ere unable to come up with them. With a better knowledge of the country, and being more patient of fatigue and hardship, the retreating Indians eluded pursuit, keeping about a day's march ahead, till they finally succeeded, as wat thought in gaining the fatnesses and swamps of the "Rig The disbanded troops have Woods." all returned home, with the exception of about three hundred, who volunteeicd for the defence of ths inhabitants about the town of Ottawa, at the mouth of Fox river, till fresh troops should arrive. These, with Genl. Atkinson's regulars, closely stockaded at Dixon's Ferry, are all the force now on the frontier. Meantime small parties of the Indians, inci ted by revenge, and prowling for prey, are roving alorost unmolested about the country, cutting off every wanderer, and massacreing every unprotected family that comes in their way. EX EC U T I VEDE PART ME NT,) Indianapolis, Monday, June 4, 1832 J SIR: An express has just arrived from the citizens of the Elkhart am Saint Joseph country, with the intelligence that great alarm prevails in that region, in consequence of infoi malion communicated by letter from the commanding officer of Fort Dearborn, at Chicago, that fifteen men, women and children, have been murdered, and that the hostile Indians are assembling within forty miles f that place, in which he asks for the aid of three hundred mounted riflemen from the Michigan militia. Separated as they are from us by the Indian territory, destitute of arms and ammunition, and without orgardza tion, as yet under our militia law, our citizens apprehend great danger for their safety, so much so, that many will leave the country, emigration will cease, and the pursuits of husbandry will be great ly disturbed Apart from the higher considerations, those of the protection of the lives and property of the citizens, that of the importance of the growth of that patt of the State, with the contemplated improvements in the north, should induce us to afford every facility to the settlements of that quarter, and the subsistence of its inhabitants. To afford the protection desired, to quiet the public mi id, and enable the inhabitants to cultivate their farms in peace, you will, as by voluntary enrolment, organize a force of one hundred and fifty liflemen from the 40th regiment, with the privilege of electing their captains and subordinate officers, to be employed from two to three weeks in reconnoitering the north western frontier The detachment will rendezvous at this place on Saturday, equipped for the service, when you may be joined by a company from each of the regiments in Hen dricks and Johnson counties. In calling this force to the frontier to protect and put to rest the fears of our exposed inhabitants, as well as to put to flight plundering parties of the hostile Indians, if any, I will not withhold the opinion that there will be bu few, if any further requisitions on the time and services of our fellow citizens. N. NOBLE. A. W. Russell, Cel. Comrade l'J!h Reg I I. M. The citizen soldiers of the 40th regi ment will perceive by the above otder from his Excellency the Governor, that I am required to raise a company of one hundred and fifty mounted rfernen, by voluntary enrolment, to rendezvous at Indianapolis on Saturday morning, the 9'h inst. prepared for marching Those, therefore, who are disposed to volunteer for the defence of our frontiers against the hostile incursions of the savages, will please call on me and enter their names immediately; and in case the re qU,5ite number should not come forward .before that time, a general tneclintr of the citizens composing the 40th Regi mcnt, Indiana Militia, is requested at this place on Thursday next, the 7th in ; required for the campaign. 1 cheerfully volunteer my services for this expedition, and I flatter myself that the citizen soldiers of the 4uth Regiment will flock with alacrity to the defence of our unprotected frontiers. A. W. RUSSELL, Ccl CcuiTridt AQth Reg't I. M. June 4th, 1832. In putsuance of the foregoing orders. the number required from the 40th Regiment turned out on Thursday, were organized into three companies, and elected their officers. Henry JJrenton, sen John W. Keding, and J P. Drake, were elected Captains. It is expected that they will be joined to day by the troops from Hendricks and Johnson, when the whole will proceed, unless otherwise ordered, to Chicago Indur.a Journal. We are informed (says the Vandalia Whig of June 6,) by Col. 1 icld, who amed hereon Sunday evening from St L.ouh, that (iov. Reynolds had reached home on 1 ikJjy lait Irom Uitawa. lie fore the (Joternor felt that dace Gene

ral Atkinson had received orders from the War Department to prosecute the war with all possible despatch, and to call on the Governor of the state for a sufficient force to diive the disaffected tribes from the country, or chastise them wherever they could be found. Orders have accordingly been issued for 3000 men to rendezvous at Ottawa on the 14th inst. A force sufficient for its defence will be placed along the frontier, and the remainder employed effectively against the Indians. We are also informed that the Governor will leave Saint Louis on the 10th, to join the main at my at the place of rendezvous.

A ".'v't: Coalition" of factious men art- ma naging at Washington to accomplish thcir hae met. The Chaninirn ci an unreason able TaiitT, and the Author of Nullification, having no principle in comn.cn bat a restles ambition, are found united in their tfToits to baftie the. President in his foreign negotiations, kindle faction in our hall of legislatioo, and fill our country with discontent and anarchy. It is time for the people to take the alarm! The causeless rejection of our Minister to Great Britain, was but the first otert act cf this "Holy .lliiuncc' against every thing tht is pure in our government, and patriotic in its administration. It will soon be followed by ethers equally hostile to the interests of the people, and insulting to the President of their choice. Instead of devoting themselves to the promotion of justice, harmony and peace, a band of political "managers in Congress are spending slcepk-s nights and anxious days in deusing means to array against the President all the -elnh avaricious, corrupt, and cor rupting influences which pervade the Republic. ith these they hope to xanmiish the conq-.eror of Europe's bravest armies, and close in obloquy and disgrace, the public career of him who "has filled the measure of his couu try's glory." What are w e to expect from the succesi of this "new coalition?" Will our foreign relations be better manager:? Will our l is be executed with more fidelity and trergy at home? Will our agriculture, commerce and manufactures flourish more? Will our national debt be sooner paid? Is there hr.je that the train of public atfairs in general would progress better or so well? No it Is not for the benefit of the country that the "new coalition" has been formed; r.or is tA.y iinpromeveiit in the public prosperity xpected from its success. The struggle is for tower, for place, for the public treasure. Men who want foreign missions.
