kins, having left Fort Scott he 5,h init.
One object in Whiting the frontier at the
present, was probably to halfen the move
ment of the troops from this fate, who
took up the line of march at o O'Clock

mentary General Order was iilued and
read to them. We undertand that Gen.
Gaines contemplates visiting the troops
at Point Petre TSt. Mayy's before he re-
turns to the Indian Nation. IF SO, we
fhould presume, that Fort Scott was not
only fecure againtt an attack from the
favages, but that offenfive operations
would cease on our part,till he rejoins the
army (which will be as foon as the rn;li
tia arrive when he will put an end to
the !" little war" in that quarter.
