Major Wm. Bradford, of the United States' Army, arrived at this place on Thursday last. He is direct from Fort Smith, Arkansas, and on his way to Natchitoches, Red River. This gentleman informs us that the Cherokee and Osage Indians are carrying on a war vigorously; the efforts of the constituted authorities to prevent hostilities between these tribes to the contrary notwithstanding. Major B. states, that at the time he passed through the nation, a party of Cherokees, consisting of about 80 in number, had been out on a scout about 20 days -that no intelligence of them had been received at that time-and it was strongly suspected that they had been cut off by the Osages.
