Iiar in Itrica.--Sanguinary and bloody
contests often occur amons the hostile tribes
OF Africa, waged frequently from no other
motive than to make Captives, which the
victorious party sell to the slaye traders on
the coast We find it stated in the Sierra
Leone Gazette Of the 25th June, that an en-
gagement had taken place between con-
siderable force of the Sher5ro BUitons and
strong party OF RuSSsos, who had entrench-
cd themselves on an Island on the Deong
River called Peypurra, near small town OF
the same name. 1t appears that the oher-
bro Chiefs, with the Caulkers at their head,
have been long time mastering their fore
es for this attack, while the hRSSoos nave
latterly contented themselves III terrifying
their post at Peypurra, with tue deter
mnation Of making stand there daring the
rainy season. The BulioMs, who were
sanguine OF success, were repulsed witt,
great slaughter, having failed in their at

The Creeks and Geo,gi;ans.

Late accounts from the State of Georgia rep
resent the difficulties, which, for long time,
have existed between the authorities Of that
State and tribe of Indians, relating to the
possession of valuable tract of land, as far
from being in train of amicable adjustment.
The red men claim the soil "which their
grandfathers TILED" and which their ances.
tors possessed before "white men set foot to
the western world" as their lawful and Just
right, while powerful party, at the head of
which is Gov. Troup, are determined to
drive the Creeks from what they are pleased
to call the Georgian Territory, and dispossess
them of a very rich inheritance. To effect
this object, after threatening the Indians to
no purpose with violence, and calling upon
the Government of the u States to send
force into the State sufficient to exterminate
them, they recently succeeded in persuading
Me- lntosh and a few others, in the absence
OF the principal chiefs, to sign treaty ced-
ing to the State an extensive and valuable
territory for trifling sum. Mcintosh, it is
said, was to receive most of the money, and
remain in the State after the Nation had pass
ed into the western wilds, and be made a
great man as reward for his treachery.
Mcintosh, our readers will recollect, has re-
Gently been put to death by the disaffected
Indians, whom some of the Georgia papers
represent as assassins and brigands, and his
destruction as downright murder, while
others, with more independence, vindcate
'helr rights, and assert the innocence of the
Creeks. The Indians appear TO be satisfied
with the slaughter they have made, and as
sure the white men that no more lives are in
danger from them. They are determined,
however, never to quit the homes of their
fathers, and, if driven from their houses. to
"dle by the corners of the fences.n We
have no wish to interfere in the concerns
OF others. The interest we take in this af-
fair of the Creeks, grows out of our sympathy
for class of people, who have no Statesmen
or Presses to assert their rights. We are
willing the indians should remain distinct
people, we have no wish to see white men
and women intermarry with them but we
hope they may continue, for ages yet to come,
to find resting place on the American Con-
tinent.
