going. One of these messengers, Ben Daulawza, is

now in Washington.
After Col. Crowell returned from Washin gton,
Council OF the Nation called; when the
broken hour was out, Chilly Mcintosh and several
of the friends Of General Mcintosh attended,
They called on Col Crowel for rations, which
were refused TO the friends of General Mcintosh,
but were furnished by Col Crowel to all Others.
Within eight days after this Council, hostile party
attacked the house of General Mcintosh and killed
him and Etome Tustennugge.
Col. Hawkins and General Mitchell were equal
and kind TO all the Creek Nation, and favored its
civilization. Since Col Crowel has been Agent,
he has been good only for his friends and favorites,
and 10 effect his purposes.
Now, sir, we beg father, the President, to
send an Agent who will be afrend to all the Ma
ton equally; and one in whose hands can feel
safe to go West of the Mississippi If Col. Crowell
is continued as Agent, we fear that the friends of
General Mcintosh will be sacrificed.
