THE INDIAN WAR.

The New-York Courier and Enquirer publishes a letter from Galena, of July 14, which states that an express had arrived there on the preceding night from Gen. Atkinson, who was at that time within twenty-five miles of Lake Michigan, and that the Indians had dispersed. One of the brigades of mounted volunteers had fallen back to Fort Hamilton for provisions. The army were suffering for want of provisions, but would be relieved in a few days. There were in the field about 5000 mounted volunteers. The letter complains of a want of discipline in these troops, in consequence of the inexperience of the officers. The letter remarks that Gen. Atkinson has with him sufficient numbers, but they are not under his command, and composed of horse, foot and a large baggage train, are entirely unfit to pursue Indians through a country like this. It was supposed that the Indians were marching off for the Chippewa country, and that in consequence the war would be protracted until the fall or winter.—Boston Daily Advertiser.
