they thought it would re very dangerous TO
attempt to cross at present the Tennessee
river. This report had Induced the Gene
raj TO issue the orders which capt. Chris
tan bore. Col. Joslin informed us he was
likely to get u number of men in Dickson,
but fortunately most daring insurrection
among the negroes was detected and their
schemes prevented. Their plan was, TO have
destroyed the few remaining men after G..
was gone and escaped with the plumber to
the Indians. Six of the principal fellows
were punished, and there are hopes enter
tanned that we shall hear no more OF such
notions. II
In confirmation Of the report that general
johnston wishes to procure more men, we
have seen gentleman from Franklin who
states that he saw Col Cannon on Thurs
day receive note from General Washing
ten of this brigade ordering him to call out
ms men immediately to march to Franklin,
and that he would there join them with A.
detachment from Rutherford county. Col.
Cannon, who is OH the jury in the case Of the
state against Magness, obtained leave of the
court tn write TO his Majors to parade all the
! men they could in Franklin on Saturday.
| where the regiment from Rutherford county
would meet them, ready to proceed to the as
sistance of General Johnston. In the course
| OF the day Col. Witherspoon of the regiment
ment likewise to the assistance of General
johnstpn-and in pursuance thereof he has
made very great eXertions to be ready 10
start as soon as the infantry. Col. M'Crary
we are told was to start on Friday with be-
tween and 300 of his men, for the same
place.
gentleman informs us, gen. Johnston has
crossed the Tennessee, and that finding no

whole country.-This may be relied on.
= Another account Is received. Gen. John
ston lay on Thursday night at the mouth of
Sandy. He had been informed that the =.
dians at the town on Sandy were very strong,
and intended waiting there for reinforce
ments.
Report states that the woman who was
SO inhumanly abused alledgcs it was done
by whites painted as Indians.-We do not
be!leve the report, as the woman positively
hes stated to the contrary.
FROM gentleman who has been some
time IN the Chickasaw nation we have the
following statement. He thinks most of the
Young warriors of that nation will certainly
JON in a war against the whites, and the
old ones will if they can promise themselves
success--he remarks that there is less Corn
planted this year in the nation, than he
has known for MANY years-rhe cabins in
many places are entirely deserted. and the
doors hlled up with rails. - He states that
George Colbert certainly gives information
to the Greeks of the proceedings Of the
| whites. He also remarks the Chickasaws'
from Big town regularly send provisions TO
the party on Sandy. The Greeks who have
the scalps are still in the Indian nation it
seems they were taken on the frontiers of

immediate war with all the southern In
