IMPORTANT FROM THE SOUTH.
ORDER No. 80.
HIN QuARrERs, ARMY OF THE SOUTH,

HIN QuARrERs, ARMY OF THE SOUTH,
Tuskegee, Ala, 9Th, Sept 1886.
The Major General commanding has the salts
faction to announce TO the Army the entire ces-
sation of hostilities and the movement westward
of the principal part of the Creek Nation. He
congrufulates both Officers and Soldiers, on the
complete success which has attended their opera
tons throughout the campaign. More than2 500
hostile Indians, among them upwards of 700 war
riors, were captured by the Alabama troops and
friendly Indians-all of whom have been remov-
ed to Arkansas, or are in the custodyof the civil
authorities waiting thoir trial for offences against
the laws of Georgia and Alabama.
Several hundred Indians, who escaped from
Echa Hadjo's camp, in this neighborhood, and
attempted to force their way into Florida, were
attacked in the most gallant manner by the Geor.
gia troops, Rpd with few exceptions, were des-
troyed, captured, or driven back to their swamps,
The greater part of the Georgia and Alabama
troops called out for three months, have already
been discharged; those that remain in service, with
the exception of Maj. Nelson's Battalion and
Capt. Hentzs Company of Georgia Volunteers,
will bo mustered, honourably discharged and paid
as soon as arrangements for that purpose can be
made. fs
The services of General Officers of Volunteers
being no longer required Major General San
ford and the officers of his staff, Of Georgia, and
Major General Patterson and Brigadier General
Moore, with the officers of their respective stafs
Of Alahamav are hereby honourably discharged.
In separating officially from those gentlemen and
the officers and troops that compose their CON-
nands, the Major General would do injustice to
his own feelings, were he to omit the expression
of the high sense which he entertains for their
good conduct and soldierly department. They
have his entire appreciation, and deserve that OF
their country.
The Tennessee Brigade under Brig. General
Armstrong deserve the highest commentator
for the prompt and effective manner in which
they have performed tho duties that devolved on
them, while they were detained in the Creek
Country. They are now on their march to
Florida, where determined and active enemy
awaits them. The same promptness and atten-
ton to duty which distinguished them here, will
ensure them victory there.
The Regular Troops, except Maj. MIntosh's
company, will proceed TO Florida in the course
of this month, or early in October.
The order. discipline, and good conduct which
they have displayed throughout this campaign,
and the readiness with which every duty has been
performed by officers and soldiers, do them the
highest honour.
The Marines will be necessarily detained some
time longer in this country. Both officers and
men have acted in the best manner, and have per
formed every duty which has devolved upon then
with promptness and correctness creditable tc
themselves and characteristick of the Corps
The gallantry which prompted them to volunteer
for service in the field will be long remembered
by the Army, and by none more gratefully thar
by the Mai. Gen. commanding.
BY order Of Mai. Gen. Jesup,
