TENNESSEE. IN ARMS.
Ire People OK this ate, in every quarter,
are under srns, marching to the frontiers,
TO meet and repei threatened attack by
the Creek Indians. In the course of the
,ast week. several expresses have arrived
mere from Huntsville M. 7. bringing infer
mation OF the approach Of a large body of
Indians. Since the receipt of THIS inteili
gence. thousands of our brave fellow citizens
have, with prompti,ude and alacrity no
less honorable 70 themselves, than fia,terirg
to the price OF the state, volunteered and
gone 20 relieve from their unples SAINT appre-

The troops ordered to rendezvous at Fay-
etteville- on Monday mex, are, so far as
heard from, preparing to start and we
shall not be disappointed, if nearly double
the number called for should rendezvous on
that dav--such is the enthusiastic ardor of
the people on the occasion.
Inc force is deslgped, we presume, to re

nation and make the attack We have
