THE CREEK WAR.

we Mt san without any news ol II ufCisINc cha
rac,cr from the Indians With the exception ol
the action between party of about two hundred
Indians, and Capt. Gcrnany's Gvinuett Nolun-
tcers, we have nothing further of sclua hostilnies
which have coNie 10 our knowledge
TINS action, though small, has been most bril-
liant affair, and reflects the highest honor on the
courage aud eond"et OF those engaged IN it. Thir-
" or forty OF the savage Zoe were slain, as many
rs were ot any one 'imc engaged against them.
We regret thar eleven oi Gcorgia's brave son,
have fallen III the contest.
\ message, il is said, was recently forwarded to
Ncah-Micco, from Gen. Woodward, at Tu>kcpcc.
saying To INN, ~ substance, that if he and his men
were friendly, Ia come into tho whites OF other.
wise he wond be dealt with as hostile. That upon
receiving the message, the old chief made an al
tempt to carry lns party, rs desired, but could MOI
der (about 5OO) determined To fight 1t is further
said, that Ncah-Micco, finding his party Gene
rally hostile, became approhcnsvc for his po1sonal
safety, and finally slipped away from them during
the night with few friends, and made his escape
To Tnskcecc, where lac is now, with, IN all about
100 OF his people Previous to Ncal- Micto's
flight, the hostile Indians killed hi, cattle, and
showed other demonstrations To convince him that
his personal safety was incompatible with his re-
naming among them. The rumors in regard 10
/ the conduct of Ncah- Niece have been very contra
dicto,y, (as probabl, his course has been as he is
/ quite an old many and we do not vouch for the
entire correctness of the above, though we can
state thai we have received it from a source en-
titled 10 full cicdcncc. About 30 men. and a,
many women and children, who are friendly, from,
! Nenh- Niccos camp, have come uLio the friendly
Indians, cncampcd opposite this city. Others
have gone to Fort Mitchell, and others, il is said
TO Chambers county. Thcv were obliged to %

qucntly ia small squads, without concert of action
Old Noab-Micco's camp has consequently been
broken up, and the hostile Indians are conccntrn-
ting on the ilachachubcr under Enrah- Ma,hl,
supposed now TO be from 1000 to 1900 strong
They are no doubt preparing either 10 give ia,
troops vigorous battle wcrn they marched a
"ahst them, or make II demonstration upon tin,
or some other place on the Chnuahooclec
\ gentleman arrived on Tue s,ay evening from
/ Lumpkin, III Stewart county, and who is well ac-
/ quaintcd wii the Indian character stated that he
saw several tracks of Indians on the road, pas>ina
from the ris"r into the interior of Georgia He
supposc> they are parties of Jim Hcnr,'s gang of
/ robbers making their way with the ncpro,, and
other booty to Florida.
The remainder of the arms and ammunition will

will forthwith be marched into the heart of the ma
ton, and commence active offensive operations a.
sainst the enemy.
! The Alabama troops, i, is said, refused to b,
mustered into the service of the United States
claim the Indian war as an affair Of their own and
are determined to fight under the state banner
Eight hundred troops, il further said have alrea-
dy entered the nation from lrwinton and other,
are expected TO leave shortly from TusAeeec, I'm.
der the command of Gen. Patterson.
/ As the Anna Calhoun, which arrived here on
wednesday morning, was passing the mouth OF
the Iiatchachnbcc or High Lou creek "A man from
the Alabama shore informed them that the Ala
bama troops. under Gen. Moore, had a general
and severe engagement with the Indians under
Eneah- Matilda that morning, and that he 1.-The in
formant,) left them still fighting. We give ,hi,
