MAJOR BAILEY'S REPORT TO GENERAL FLOYD.

" Camden County, May 28.
-" I deem it expedient to inform you, that on
the 20th instant I left Trader's Hill, accompanied
. by 24 volunteers, in pursuit of cattle. lately driven
off tiorn this frontier by a party of Indians. NVe
took their trail, and followed it to where the Mac-
casooka path crosses the Saana river. When
about a mile front the river,-on the 22d between
seven and fight o'clock-, P.M. we saw the light of
a fire., which we made for, and-tound-it to proceed
'from an Indian camp of from five to eight men,
who we had no doubt were a• party fitted out to
do cui,ehicf, and then on their way for the fron-
tier settlements. We attacked them at eleven
o'clock the same evening, killed one man and
wounded others, who were assisted off by their
comrades. At this camp we got three horses
and tai o guns. On the morning of the 23d, we
fell in with au Indian trail, which we followed a
circuitous route, bearing for the big-bend of St.
Aldty's—at 9 o'clock, P. M. of the 24th we came
up with them at Camp on the waters of St. Mary's
river, and attacked, them at daybreak the next
morning, killed two, and wounded several. There
were 12 or 15 in. number. Here we wit two
guns and 1G horses,- two of which belong to our
ei;izens. lam happy' to state that not one of our
party received any injury."

Extract of a Letter from the Agent for Indian .4f.
fairs, to the Acting Governor of the State, dated
the 1 oth ins'ant.
`• Lis! night a runner from low down Flint river
brought me a letter, containing the following' in-
formation t seems a small parcel of the Uyshee
red people who reside on the Chatabochie river,
a tribe that has always been friendly to our Go-
vernment, and never one of them has been known

to join the Red stick party, were on a hunt ex-
cursion near the waters of St. Mary's river, when
iu the night by moonlight, a party of white peo-
ple rushed into„ them, killed one man and wound-
ed the other tour badly—drove off all their horses,
took their• guns and every thing else they could
carry. off from the Camp. The four wounded men
are now lying very bad, about 60 miles below
here, not being able to proceed to their town on
Chatabochie. It is not known whether it was

done by the white people that reside in the Spa-
jiish Government, or in our own Government.
" It is very desirable to ascertain whether the
mischief has been done by the people of Georgia,
or by those of East Florida. If by the latter, re-
t‘iliation may be averted from our people by a
timely upresentation of that fact to the Chiefs of

the to‘vii to %vhich the injured party belong. The
Ciii;ls of the nation are to meet at Fort-Hawkins

the Ist of 'text mouth, which viU afford

fair opportunity of making explanation, if in the

virvin time you can ascertain the aggressors."

VACCINATION.—The last Report of the College
of ithysicians and Surgeons relative to vaccination,
givvs 411 account of several cases of small-pox, in
the County of Essex, occurring, for the most part,
a mild form after vaccination. Similar accounts
are transmitted from other places. •It is, however,
no small satisfaction to learn, that the practice of
vaccination has been for some years • invariably
uueeessiul at the Small-pox Hospital, without a
(ogle instance of failure,or of eruptioo to give the
alarm. The numbers vaccinated since Ja-
Tinary last are, Two thousand one hundred and
fifty-one, nearly Eight hundred more than at the
bertikte period its the I),receding year.
