Ii is some what feared our city will be attack
ed by them At this moment we are poorly
provided for defence, but hope to be in a few
days. All those fine farms which few days
ago promised so much reward to the owners,
are deserted-the fencing thrown down-the
inmates Of the houses either killed or run a.
way-they present now nothing but dreary
waste. The time has now arrived when
nothing short OF conquest and immediate re-

Fort Miro HE'LL, May 9, 1896.
SIR-Hostilities have commenced in ser-
Gus earnestness. Within few days four in
dividuals have been murdered, and it is feared
many others have fallen victims. Yesterday
sent an interpreter to few Of the principal
chiefs, requesting they would meet me in
council at this place. They have failed to
come. Ne-ha-math-la sent word that he had
said all he could to his people to restrain
them, without effact.) They were determin-
ed on war; that they had divided powder and
lead, and had embodied in swamp near the
federal road, about five miles from this post,
evidently with the intention of cutting off all
communication between Us and the governor
of Alabama.
The interpreter says, Ne-ha-math-la had
every thing in readiness for move; that he
NE ha- math-la) inquired particularly about
the strength of my command, and if any ad-
ditional troops were expected. ! am COLI
vinced it is his intention to head the hostile
party.

In addition to the above letter, (says the
N. Y. Com. Advertiser Of Saturday last,) we
have been favored with the annexed commu-
nication, received this morning at Hudson's
News Room:-
Extract of letter dated Columbus, Geo. May H..
The excitement here OH the subject of the
Creek war, exceeds any thing have ever
met with. Proceeding from Columbus on
Monday toward the Creek nation, was sur
prised to find the roads in all directions
blocked up with carriages, horses, mules,
men, women and children, flying in the ut
most terror and CONSERVATION for safety from
the Indians.
The men were all armed, some with mus
kets, others with pistols and cutlasses, and in
fact, all descriptions of weapons were put in
requsition. The streets are lined on either
hand with the poor inhabitants who are light
ing their watchfres and pressing to snatch a
hasty meal. We are in the hotel, eight in a
room, and without doors the troops are mus
tering on every hand and marching to their
destined quarters.
Though there are many reports in circula-
tion, you must not believe one fourth Of what
you hear. 1t is true the Indians are rising,
and some twenty persons have been killed.
The chiefs declare they can no longer con-
troll the warriors, and advise the whites to
leave the Nation, which they are doing with
the utmost precipitation-leaving their prop
erty behind them, to the mercy Of the savage
foe, who are destroying every thing within
their reach. Many of the Indians are alarm
ed and frightened, but, for the most part, they
are determined to retain their lands or de-
do not believe they will attempt to burn
the town.

Fort MITCHELL, Ala. May 3, 1896.
SIR-I arrived at home yesterday, and
found the neighbours considerably alarmed
about the Indian dcpredations, and in order
to satisfy mysefof the intentions of the In
dians, despatched messenger after some
of the principal chiefs to come and see me,
for the purpose Of ascertaining from them,
what their people intended. The chiefs have
not come, but sent me word that their young
men were bent upon war, and had assembled
in the swamp near the Federal road with the
view of attacking any troops that might march
into the Nation.
! have satisfied myself that they contem-
plate mischief, and without military aid, the
settlers must be driven from their homes with
great loss property, if not their lives.
have thought it my duty to give you this in
formation, that you may call into immediate
service, a sufficient force and to put those
Indians down, and protect the lives and prop
erty of the settlers.

There is no longer a doubt of general
Creek war. Fifty families have been mur-
dered, and two thousand people have fed to
Columbus for protection.
The state Of that frontier is most disas-
trous. There are not five hundred effective
men between the Creek and Seminole lines,
and all Florida will be devastated, if the gov
ernors offs. Carolina and Georgia do not send
mounted men to the Flsrido line and to Tai

The House then went into Committee
of the whole on the state Of the Union,
Mr.. Sutherland in the chair, on the first
nentioned bill, which was considered
and amended. A debate ensued which
lasted till late hour in the evening.
In the SENATE, on Friday, May 90,
nearly the whole OF the sitting was con-
sumed by debate on the report Of the
committee of conference on the bill au-
thorizing the President to accept the ser
vices of number Of volunteers, not ex-
ceeding 10000, for the protection Of the
frontier. The committee Of conference
not having been able to agree, and the
other House having insisted on its a.
mendment; (the nature of which is stated
below the debate in the Senate termi-
mated in a resolution to insist on its disa-
greement to the amendment, and re-
quest for another-a free conference,
(moved by Mr. Southard;) and after the
appointment of conferees, the Senate
went into executive session.
In the HOUSE Of Representatives, the
first hours of the day were occupied in
considering the Report Of the committee
of conference on the disagreeing votes
of the two Houses upon the bill to au-
thorze the President Ofthe United States
to accept the services Of volunteers, SC.
which report was, that the committee
could not agree. The chairman howev-
er, (Mr. Lewis moved, according to
instructions, that the Senate's amend
ment, (Which proposes that the officers
of the volunteer force, when elected,
shall be commissioned by the President
Of the United States, instead Of the Coy
ernors of the States which furnish the
volunteers) MIR. Lewis, however, on
account of the urgency of the state Of
the southern border, was anxious for him
self, to expedite the bill, that the House
should recede from its disagreement to
the amendment. But, after debate, the
House refused so to recede, bv 1913
votes to IA; and then insisted on its disa-
gleement to the Senate's amendment.
The residue of the day was occupied
upon the bill without finishing it) for the
reorganization of the Post Office De-
partment.

A Washington correspondent writes us
that there is no hope OF an adjournment Of
congress before the 24th of June. The pas
sion for much talking and for long sessions is
certainly great evil, and more than that
growing evil. The only corrective for these
"protracted meetings" is a change in the
mode of compensation. Reward the repre-
sentatves by salary for the session, instead
of a per diem allowance, and far more will be
perfected in one half the time.
Albany Argus.
We fully agree with the Argus in this
matter-and more too. The experiment Of a
salary, however, was tried in 1917, and what
was the result? Why, the indignant Democ-
racy, blind TO the best interests of the coun.
try, as usual, raised such a clnmor upon the
subject, and turned SO many Of the best men
out Of Congress because of it, that hurried
repeal was the consequence.

The force 10 scattered at different points
on the frontier, over an extent OF not less
than four hundred miles, viz: Tampa, Fort
King, Fort Drane, Pcolata, st. Augustine
and Mosquito. The consequence is that
each post is so weak, as to be entirely unable
to act on the offensive, or to punish the dep
relations committed actually within the range
of the guns, as was recently the case at Fort
Drane, where we are told not single cart
ridge was prepared for the piece Of artillery
left for the protection of the post. The In
dians have become daring and impudent to a
degree hardly conceivable. The inhabitants
are every where flying from midnight MUIR

the responsibility thrown on him by the with
drawal of Gen. Scott.
Expresses have continued to arrive during
the last three days, in rapid succession, bear
ing the most disastrous intelligence from the
frontier. No succor has yet been sent to the
relief Of Capt IIolloman, where he was or
dered by General Scott and abandoned with
out enquiring or caring for his fate. Gen.
Clinch, we learn. is wholly unable to afford
succor to this devoted band. II would be
madness TO attempt to penetrate into the na-
tion with less than one thousand men, and
this number it is utterly impossible to assem-
bic. We now feel the want Of those gallant
Georgia troops dismissed with so little cour.
tesy. With their aid We could hold the open
country in Alachua, and relieve our ov dis
trict from the horrors Of Indian warfare.
