 ST. LOUIS, July 2l.

 The Indian War is, for the present, at an end. Our army, as was stated Tn our last paper, marched in pursuit Of the enemy, who were said to be en- camped near the four lakes. When Gen. Atkinson reached lake Cosh-ko- nong, (which on Tanners map of 1890, IS placed near the junction of the river Goose-ke-hawn with Rock river) he found the country clear, and his long sought enemy vanished. The Indians, if is supposed, have made for the Chip peway country, and will endcavor to cross the Mississippi, but far beyond any white settlements. Gen. Atkin- son expecting, when he marched, to meet the enemy in a short time, had taken with him but a small quantity of provisions, in consequence Of which he was obliged to halt and divide his forces, at the lake above named. He himself, with the regulars, some six hundred and fifty strong, remained at the lake 1; the militia, consisting of three brig ades under Generals Posey, Dodge, and Henry, and of about 20O0 men. were ordered 10 march to Fort Winnebago, on the Ouisconsin, where stores were hourly expected. It was the intention of the commanding General to consoli- date his forces and renew the pursuit as soon as he had obtained sufficient stores.

 The march of the army was exceed ingly laborious and fatiguing. The greater part of the country they passed over was complete marsh, formed by bodies of water beneath the surface of the earth. Men and horses sunk to a considerable depth at every step. A gentleman who was with the army, in- forms us that he was on large mound, fifteen or twenty feet high, which could be shaken by single man, like boat on the water.

 The whole army, regulars or irregu- lars, officers and soldiers, had enjoyed excellent health, and were sustained throughout their encampment and march by full confidence in their General.

 We believe there is no expectation that our army will again meet with the Indians. Black Hawk will not expose himself and his band to the certain de- struction that would follow from gen. eral engagement; the late successes of the whites il, skirmishes, and the number of scouting parties through the country, will prevent the recurrence of the depredations and murders by small parties, which made the begin ming of this contest so terrible and al- arminp.
