 It ls stated, on information frozn Washing ton, that on the 18th October. some 45O or 800 Indians. including l5O men, suddenly pre- sented themselves to the commanding officer at lrwinton, on the Chattahoochee, and gave. themselves up as Creek Indians. None of the Greeks recollect ever to have seen sim gle individual of the party before. The strong presumption is that they are Seminoles who have thus given themselves up as Creeks This supposition is supported by the fact that the party alluded to, an intelligent resident of the neighborhood of IrWinton came unex- pectedly on party of 10 or 12 Indians, who were too busily engaged in cutting up new killed deer to observe him. He was on horse back and not at all uneasy at the meeting.- This gentleman was near enough to distinct ly observe the Indians, and although he had a very general acquaintance with the Creek Indians, he felt assured these Indians were not Creeks. It would not be a very difficult matter for body of Seminoles to make thcir way up the Creek country.-N. Y. Star.
