We are gratified to learn that tho late
hostile movement Of the Creeks is not
likely to be pursued. Gen. THOMPSON,

that the parry who murdered General

Their resistance TO the execution of the
treaty. The general was shot about
daylight on The morning of the first in
slant, between twenty and thirty balls en-
tering his body as he stood prepared to
address his assalsnts.
We also learn, from gentleman who
was in The Creek nation short time be-
fore the murder, that the feelings OF the
inferior Chiefs, at that time, were much
excited against Mcintosh, in conse-
quence OF his having neglected to con-
suit or hold talk with them for a long
time past. The General, from their
conduct, was then fearful of some act oil
violence, and appeared anxious to leave
the nation, on his western survey. He
was to have departed the next day, when
be was arrested by the bullets Of his
countrymen, as has been stated

THE CREEK INDIANS.


The recent accounts from Georgia, Of
the vndiciiye conduct of part of ,hcl
Creek Indians, the murder of General
MclNTosH, &c. must have made pain
tul impression on every mind. Thisj
feud, it is we'll known, has IFS origin inl
the dissent OF a part of the Creeks to the
Treaty concluded by the Chiefs with
commissioners of this government, in
February las', by which they sold their
land to the United States for the use OF
the State of Georgia. and agreed to re-
move West Of the Mississippi, to o'her
lands, Of equal extent, granted to them.
A portion Of the Greeks reside within
the limits of Georgia--and portion
within the limits of Alabama. The LAT.
ter were opposed TO the Treaty which
was concluded by the Commissioners
with the formcr, in the absence OF the
latter by Hh ich was ceded all the land
within the limits of Georgia. In max
ing this Treaty, Gen. Mcintosh was,
among the Indians, mainly instrumental.
The dissenting Indians, we understand,
far outnumber those who agreed 10 the
Treaty, and their objection to the cession
kindling into fury, they have murdered
Mcintosh and driven the Georgia Indl-
ans, with fire and arms, in upon THERON
tier settlements OF Georgia, pursuing
them with savage fury. A good deal OF
alarm of course exists there, even among
the Whites, these Indians being numer-
Gus and instructed in arms. Whether
the tumult will subside after the graft
fication OF savage revenge by the mur.
ders which are known to have taken
place, or will continue, and its force be
directed against the Whites, it is impos-
sible now to foresee. The Government,
OF the United States will no doub. take
immediate and decisive steps to quell
the instruction, and to restore peace to
the borders, on terms as consistent with
humanity and forbearance as practica.
BILE. We wait with anxiety for further
information on this subject, and TO see
what steps the Government may think
| proper to take on the occasion

WASHINGTON, MAY l6.


Mr.. CLAY left Washington on Satur-
day, for his latc~residence in Kentucky.
We understand that he expects TO be de-
tanned for several weeks by The necessa-
ry domestic arrangements for tire re-
moval OF his family TO the city. The du
ties which have dcvoIved upon Mr.. Clay
since his appointment TO the State De-
partmcnt, have been peculiarly arduous.
The organization Of a new admnistra-
ton, and the necessity of despatching an
unusual number OF Ministers and other
Public Agents, all Of whom were to be
especially instructed in the views of our
Government in relation TO several new
and important questions of policy, have
thrown upon MIR. Clay labor which
few Secretaries have had to encounter in
SO short period alter their appointment.
He has been truly indefs,igable in the
execution of bis task, having been Sc
vereIy occupied for twelve or fourteen
hours almost every day. The mental
and bodily fatigue consequent upon such
unremiltlng attention to his official du-
ties, and the necessary confinement to
which he has been SO little accustomed,
have rendered this journey to the Yves,
almost essential to his health. We sim
eerely hope that the air OF his native
mountains, and the agreeable society Of
the numerous friends who are aDxiously
expecting TO shake him by the hand,
will give him new vigor, and that he
may return 10 us renovated in mind and
