ALABAMA AFFAIRS,

From, .Alabama VIC have received the foi- lowing letter, under date of October lo, which gives painful view of the state of affairs, and of feeling in that agitated State
 ALABAMA, Oct. l6th, 1883.
 We have arrived at solemn crisis m our State at the present moment. lou are aware that the whole of the Creek nation was some time since laid of into counties, and the Judges of our Circuit Courts or dered to hold courts in them accordingly. The case alluded to above is this: At the present term of said Court, held for Rus sel County, an indictment was found against certain soldiers of Fort Mitchell for the murder of Col. Hardeman Owens, who was shot some time ago by the command of the Deputy Marshal. MT. Anstlll, the Solicitor of the Circuit issued subpenas fer the file of men and for Major Meln- tosh, who is in command at the Fort, fo ap- pear at the Court to answer to the charge. 'fhe Major refused to pay any regard to the mandate of the Court, and swore that he would not suffer any of the men to be arrested. The Court issued an attachment for the Major and men: the Sheriff was or dercd by the Major not to touch him; he returned to the Court next day, and made oath that he could not take him, the Major, for fear of death. Upon this, the Court sent an express to our Governor for militia " power sufficient to arrest the Major, and to bring him and men before the Gourt- The Governor will undoubtedly do it. as he, as well as the whole country here, are m a state of excitement against the Gene ral Government, and are determined to support the civil authorities even to the last ditch-Union or no Union."
