 1he Canoe efght.-During thelast war, there was an encounter between a party ot the whites and body of the Indians, irftl1is state, ill which a sharp and short action took place that has been dissin- gulshed on account ofits chivalrous dar- ing, by the title of"The Canoe Fight. J The conflict which has been so designa- ted, was confined to three white men in canoe which was padded by negro, who took no other part in the action, and a canoe manned by seven Creek Indi- ans. It took place shortly after the me morable massacre at For Mims, in the vicinity of that place; and happened in consequence of attemps on the part of the white settlers, to expel the Indians who were yet lowering around them. We have been requested by many of the editors of papers in other sections ofthe Union, to furnish the particulars of this interesting lite piece of history, but were never in possession of its details. till recently. We are nowz however. through the kindness Of Mr. Jeremiah Austill, who with Col. Samuel Dale and James Smith composed the white party to this contest; in possession of the facts and incidents.
 For the purpose, as before mentioned, of driving the Indians from their neigh borhood, party amounting tothe num- ber of seventy-two men, under the com mand of Col. Dale, volunteered their services. They set out on their enter- prise from Fort Madison, I2 miles west of Claibourn. They proceeded down. wards on the west side of the river AL abama, until they reached Brashiers Fer ry, eighteen miles below Claibourn, by waters where they crossed over to the east bank, and remained over night. under cover of the thick cane.
 in the morning the chief part of the company commenced their march up- wards on the east margin of the river, leaving Austill with detachment of five or six, to take the canoes up the river to place of recrossing. Three miles above, at Bailies Shoals, Austill's party again met tine company, where they sought for traces of the Indians. and discovered signs of their recent presence. They then continued their pursuit ill the same direction, Austill's party continuing in the canoes, and Dale's on the land. About one mile be- low Randous farm, Dale, who was inl advanceofhis company, encounteredthe| first Indians that were seen, a paty of ten in number, one of whom he killed. The others seeing the number of Dale's par- ty behind him, betook themselves to- flight, leaving in the hurry oftheir move ments, all their pack of provisions. At Randous farm, a few miles below Clai- bourn, the land and water parties met again. At this point. they concluded to recross to the west bank of the river and ascend it upon that side, and the company commenced crossing in the two canoes. In the mean time Dale; and Auslill, with James Smith and oth- CTS, who remained 2n the east side were

Beside my lire alono,

At jokes in "banter" thrown;
