The whole Of these dcprcdations, both
in Georgia and Alabama, we thought, and
perhaps correctly, to have been commit
ted by Jim Henry, and his band, amoun-
ting perhaps to 800, aided by the Ucllees.
E-ne-a MastAa, considered, hostile, and
! Ne-ah- -Mic-co, doubtful. At the utmost,
do not expect the war partyin the Creek
Nation, to exceed two thousand. The
Campaign, apprcbend, will be a short
one, the troops are eager, and no doubt
will be successful. Gov. Schley, and
Gen. Scott and Jessup are now in Colum-
| bus.
Jim Henry, i! is thought, will endeavor
to make his way TO Florida. He has at
tempted:to cross the Chattahoochee, (for
that purpose, as it is supposedly but failed
on account of the high water.
rhe white man who accompanied Gus
se-ta, Had.ia, and the other Indians TO
Columbus, brought talk with h'm. Ne
ah-NIic.co, Tuck-a-bachie, Halo and
E-ne-ah- Martha, had been in Council.
The paper which he brought with him at
tempted TO state the feelings Of several ei
the Chiefs. consider them only rumors.
Tuck-a-backie represents his people as
friendly. Ne-aw-loc-co is encamped
with his people. Wx-o Mic-co at U-faw-
le, says, that his people have done no mis-
chief. The U-faw-Ies are considered
friendly. Tix-i-co Har-jo says, he vouch-
es for The friendship of his people; Mto
Milo, Uchce Chief is in camp with his
people, except 80 or 40 who are missing,
he supposes them to be in tine swamp.
Eho-lo Har-jo has come into Nc-ah- Mic
co.'s camp, and asks the protection of the
whites. He has left The Che-haw town.
Such is the talk Of the Indians from Ne
ah Mic-co's camp. How much of it is
true, do not know.
Extracts from letters published in the
Nat. Intclligcncer and probably addressed
to members Of Congress.

"Thc Appaiachicela Indians are starving.
They have stolen some corn, and the people
take it as an indication Of hostil;tics; but
the fact is. they are hungry, and must be
fed. The Government should take steps to
quiet them"

"The suf1erings and distresscs of the |
inhabitants of East Florida are beyond dcs-
cription. The road on each side ofGary's
ferry is alive with people in rude huts and
tents, protected from neither sun nor rain.
1t is heart-rcnding to see their melancholy
condition. They look sickly, and are sick
from exposure; their homes and provisions
burnt and destroyed, their. negroes captured
and they in daily expectation of seeing
their wives aad children butchered. There
are not sufiicicn. troops for adequate pro-
lection. No man has dollar to leave to
his wife and children to get' bread with
whilst he goes into service. These people
had no agency in this war, and their suffer-
ings are rcffeIed to with indifference and
decision at Washington, and with contempt
by the officers Of the Government here.
A detachment Of upwards of 800 United
S. Marines, left this city yesterday morning,
on the Rail Road, on their way to Columbus,
(Ga.) to act against the Creeks. The passage
money of the troops and the ordinary travellers
with their baggage, &c amounted to So, 1915 %
