MILLEpGEvrLLE, (cEo.l OCT. 20.
II is stated that the talk lately held at fort
Jackson with the Creek Indians has certainly
broken up without effecting its object. The
Big Warrior, and those who lately fought
with the United States, together with the
several tribes who have been at war with us,
arc determined to oppose ;he running Of the
line. The Big Warrior, it is said, stated,
that il they suffered the line to be run, their
country would be too limited TO subsist by
hunting, aud entire destruction to their ma
ton was inevitable and that it was as we'll to
die by the sword as by famine--that they
had been deceived--that they were to have
received pay as iegular soldiers, and that pay
was now denied them-in consequence oil
which, they deemed it right to bold posses
sion of the land. The Indians are retiring
from the road apparently much dissatisfied.
