The following lstte- from an officer in

view of that portion of the creek country,
&c. over which our army has marched
since The commencement Of the present
campaign.
Sort Scott, March IL.
The country from Hartford here, is
as far as l can judge, poor in the ex-
IRENE; but as / Travelled by water from
fort EARLY to this place, ! cannot well
Judge. The distance from the agency to
fo Early is about 200 mills by water,
90 by land-fr,m fort Early here, about
100 BY lapG, and $50 by water. The
f. ST two days run from fort Early We
had very narrow river, rapid current,
numerous small islands. abrupt windings
and the whole rather dar gerous na,isa-
ton. The third day the river became
wider, the current more gentle; the low
lands, which before had been very mar
row and poor, more extensive and fertile,
aud the country began to appear more
desirable. For abuat so miles by land
above this, the navigation will be tolera-
bly, good for small keel bats bat above

possibly be as good as the 0conee, to MIL
ledgevills, as high up as the agency; but
the land on it will never afford any thing

LATEST FROM THE SOUTHERN ARMY.
The following is an extract OF letter to
a gentleman of this place, from an OIL
Ger, dated
Fort Scott, March %.
I ,uspect Gen. Gaines wreck will
form the most striking circumstance OF
this campaign. Though there has been
no scahty share Of privation, OF danger
and of hardship, we shall have little to
make a "Gazette" Of-especialiy fror
the present force employed. There are
now on the march to the Mickasucky
town { about 60 miles from this post just
below tie Spanish line) about $500 whites
and 1900 Indians, besides a thousand
mounted Tennessee troops, which are
every moment expected On our cross
ing the line, which the hostile party had
been led 10 believe we would not do, the
Indians scattered very much-lnheed l
am inclined to believe, that most of those
wba have committed no actual hostility
against as have dispersed Themselves to
avoid the impending storm.-The Mick.
asuckies, who are the most powerful town
which was considered hostile, (rated at
500 warriors) are said to have returned
to their homes; and it is supposed by
many, will yield without stroke. The
same terms which were formerly offered,
/" the giving up the murderer" Twill now
be adhered to on our part I do not
think there are now 500 Indians in arms
against US.

has shifted thirty degrees Of latitude fur
