icat lIiaA tacse DSsDafltIes are 10 De con- tlnued Tor long time, indeed, fromthe complexion of our accounts, nothing but the most energetic measures, and daring bravery, will V il lbe able to restore peace to that section of the country. We learn from a letter dated on board the steamboat Caroline, Hennepin, lil- nois river, May 2ist, that party had Just come into that place from Indian creek, (running into Fox River where they buried fifteen men, women and children, whom the Indians had killed on the day previous, and cut, mangled, and tnatliated in their usual savage

 manner. Two young women, about IT years old, we're taken away by the h. diaas as prisoners, the father and mother had been previously murdered. The party, Il Is said, was about thirty strong; and little doubt is entertained that tlley belonged to the Pottawatomie tribe.-

 The massacre took place place about 2l or 3e miles from iEennepin. 1t is also stated, that the Indians were spreading devastation inevery direction, and for that purpose had separated into small parties.

 General Atkinson had joined Gener. al Whltesides at Dixon's Ferry. On the 22, General Nhiteside's brigade, amounting to HOO men, was despatch ed up Sycamore creek, to pursue the trail of the Indians and to compclthem into submission, if practicable. Gen eral Atkinson had determined 10 main- tain his present position, to prevent the falling back of the Sauks.. Should it be necessary on further information, for him to cross Fox river, and operate d. hsttheSaaks,it was his designprompt-

 y to do so. Forty or fifty miles would bring him into their neighborhood.

 Tine citizens of Pekln, it. is said, are much alarmed, in consequence of d band of 200 Cickapoos being seen at the head of the Maeinaw, many of whom were strangers.

 While the dangers are staring the frontier citizens in the face, another, equally alarming, has come upon them, The distress already felt for inc want ofPropisions,ls siepresentedas beingyery gfeat,a and must hourly increase. A let terbelore US saYs:-ssl forgot to mention the distressing situation of the inhabit- ants in this region, owing 10 the scarcity -i might almost say, total absehce- of provisions of any kind. The most

 intelligent of the citizens assert, that there is not in the country at large, suffi- cient provisions, owing to the failure of the crops and the destruction by the h. dians,to sub8ist the population, spare as tis,for ten days; & at many points there lis not even one days provisions, when there is something like fifty or seventy people to feed. They cannot fish, for the want of arms and men to protect them; otherwise, they might do some thing to prevent themselves from actual starvation, which, if they remained in the country, must ensue, unless relief was afforded them. In this emergen- cy, weunderstand that the Acting com missaries ofthe regular and state troops have, with praisewortly humanity, re- solved to afford relief as far as in their power.
