Ted to the Secretary of War, and copies
of them sent to other members of the
Cabinet, and that there does lot appear
a doubt, in the minds of those Who have
read them, of the correctness of he sen
tence Of the Court Martial t is not
probable that they will be puoli:ly pro-
muigated until the meeting Of Congress,
on the 9th of November ensuing. II is
said, that ABRIsTER acknowledged to the
Court, that he had been in arms with the
Indians; but justified his conduct On the
ground Of having married an Indian wo-
man, and havihs children by her, whom
was his duty to defend :@--that he &C
aowledged the fairness Of his trial, and
thanked the Court for their kindness to
him; and died like soldier. 1t is also
said, that .4buthaot'S letters confirm his
connection with the hostile Indians.

INDIAN HOSTILlTIES.

BY the following extract, from gen
lleman at the Falls of Tuscaloosa, to his
son in this place, it appears hat large
body of Seminoles, who it is supposed
are emigraling to the country west OF the
Mississippi, had committed some outra-
ges OH their march. 1t certainly would
have been good policy for them to have
passed through the territory as peaceably
as possible, and we are ignorant of the
provocation given them, if any but from
the uniformly unlriendy usage they have
received from the whites in the lower
country, we may we'll suppose they were
not treated with much kindness. Their
retaliation, however, must have been
highly impoitic, if they had received any
injury; for it is probable the white set
lers in the vicinity of the Tuscaloosa
will pursue them and herhahs cur them
gf before they effect passage OF the
Mississippi.
The letter is dated 18th instant; and
we understand from other sources, that
the whole country is extremely alarmed,
There has large party OF Indians,
about 100 TO lao of line Seminoles pene-
|trated through the country, and have
secreted themselves in large cypress
swamp, about len miles below this place,
and west of the river. They killed
