THE INDIANS.

We observe by the last Southern
papers that the organization of the mi
litary forces of Georgia and Alabama is
going on with becoming energy. The
Milledgeville Journal states that when
all her troops have arrived at their rem
devious, Georgia will have in the field
an army Of five thousand men. We
have as yet seen no estimate of the A
labama levy, but we infer that it will
not, at all events, fall short Of that Of
Georgia. The practicable character of
the country inhabited by the Creeks,
and the large and efficient force which
will be brought against them, promise
speedy termination of the difficulties
IN that quarter.-BaH. I'm, June IL.

A Boston paper has a good project
Tor preserving the political balance be-
tween the South and the North. II
The South, it says, shall strengthen it,
self by annexing Texas to the Union,
the North will be driven to take in the
Caaadas. The anii-English and some
what republican party in Canada have
gwen out in some Of their late address
es TO government. that in case of need
they are certain Of being aided by a
roiunfeer army from the United States.
Not only, says the same paper. is the
cause OF the Canadians a good cause,
but there is much good land in Canada.
The scheme is not so absurd as some
persons may think it, and as i, would
have appeared year since. A Cana.
dian declaration Of independence
would give it life and motion. Moreo-
yer, a glance at the map will show,
that large portion Of Upper Canada
would ht on the United States more
aptly than even Texas. The system
Of volunteer armies is a new and con-
venient feature in modern politics, and

rHE rExIaN WAR.
FROM MEXICO AND TEXAS.


BY the arrival Of the schooner Alta
lsnta yesterday. from Tampico, We
have received the journal of that place
up to the lab instant; but private let
tiers have been received in town 10 the
18th. These latter communicate the
information that when the deiea, and
capture Of Santa Anna had become
known there. the Suoal,erns ofthe Ar
my and Government had threatened TO
massacre all foreigners found in the city:
out that the British Vice Consul. and
the American Consul. having remon-
straied with the military command
ant OF TamPico. ne used precautionary
measures TO prevent disturbances. An
English corvette Of war being then in
port and about to sail, the Vice Consul
prevailed on the captain to DELAY his
departure, to act as protection for the
bnh'n residents. Butfour or FIVE DAYS
had elapsed between the intelligence
OF santa Annals capture and the sailing
OF The ATLANTA, and all continued oui.
ct.
The news OF Santa Annals defeat
and capture was received at the Pal
ace, IN the city Of Mexico, on or about
The Sd Of May, in a letter from Gen.
Sesma, who, according to private letters
received in New York. represented that
the whole force Of 1900 men had been
destroyed. 1000 by rifles, and the re.
mainder by being drowned in rc-cross-
ing the river. Notwithstanding. the
government endeavorcd 10 conceal the
intelligence from the people.
The object was doubtless To blind the
people AZ TO the true state of the'case. 10
enable the government 10 prepare and
strengthen itself against any popular
movement which might possibly take
place. when the fact of Santa Anna's
situation became fully known. For
our own parts, we have no doubt tina,
revolution will take place Of it have
not already occurredl in Mexico; and
the next arrival from that quarter will
furnish important intelligence.
We know that Santa Anna himself
apprehcnded the result. and used IL IN
conversation with Gen. Houston. as an
argument ia favor of his being re!eas-
ed and permitted TO return To Mexico.
IN order that he might, by his presence,
gneii any popular movement, and thus
he enabled TO secure TO the Texans
their independence, TO the attainment
ct which, obstacles would be presented
IN the selection Of othcrrulers for Mex
leo.
1t Is computed that there arc at the
present time between fifteen ard

HOSTILE CREEKS.

COLUMBUS, GEO. June 4.
The force Of the hostile foe in Ala
bama has been so variously estimated,
that We have taken some pains TO ascer-
tain their true numbers.
There are in the Creek nation s, 900
low estimate) warriors, including boys
capable Of doing much mischief.
There are 700 friendly Indians in the
camps Of O-poth-le-Yo Ohio and E-che-
Had-jo. 300 in Chambers county, 50
at this place, and 20 at Fort Mitchell;
making in all 100 friendly warriors.
The Indians have all been repeated
" invited to come in; their hostility
has been put upon this issue, and every
inducement offered to bring them un-
der our protection.
Ne-ah Mic-co has 700 warriors at
Wa-loo-ta-ha-ka, and is, bv some,
thought to be friendly: but such is not
the case. Gen. Woodward expressed
20 us no doubts OF his hostility-and we
perused letter few days since, writ
ten at Ne-ah Mic-co's camp, which de-
tailed nothing but long series OF the
most wanton and blood.ihirsty actions.
There can be no doubt that the muir
derous attack on the stages was made
by band from his camp, some Of the
stage horses having been found in their
possession.
After the most thorough inquiry
upon the subject. we cannot believe
that the hostile party numbers less than
six thousand.
To prevent these savages from cs-
Gaping into Florida, and TO chasiise
them IN their own country, will require
large force; the former object is Of
great moment. Should many reach
Florida, it is impossible TO foresee the
termination Of the war, one warrior in
Florida being equal, we think, to ten
in Alabama Herald.
