COLUMBUS, GA. May 20.

The friendly Indians who were despatched day or two since to invite Neah Mcco and his people, who were friendly to in, found large collection of Indians at the town twenty five miles west of this place. They inquired for Neah Mlcco, and were told that he had gone in company with Tuskina to the Tallapoosa towns, 10 talk with the Chiefs, but that they knew that he would not come in, as he rallyng his men to fight.
 They saw Efar-e-mathla, the next principal Chief he ayowed himself hostle--said his people had not killed any of the whtes--but had plundered their hou- to get provisions, and that the whites had threat- ened to kill his people, they should all fight. They found great many friendly Indians in the camps who had gone there under the belief that Neah Micco frlendl wand who prevented by the hostles from returning-two of them attempted 10 escape day before yesterday, and were shot down. They swear 1 vengeance upon every Indian who joins the whites.
 The messengers had some talk with the friendly Indians in the camp, and gathered from them the fol- lowing particulars That the hostile party very large and increasing daily--that they had regular line of spies along the Big Uchee, and from it's head waters down 10 lrwnton, GO miles that he swamp of this creek and it's branches the place of deposie for their punder, and children, and strong ly guarded that they had taken Roanoke, several stages, three steanboats, and little village. We suppose Col Cantys plantation. They boasted much of their conquess, and intended 10 cross the Chatahoochie and take the plantations beyond Colum bus. They understood Columbus we'll guarded and would not try 10 take it-but thought the whites would be afraid to leave town to attack them Tn the neighborhood, round about.
 On Tuesday night large party of Chehaws, Hitch etees and Uchees had been burn the bridge at Columbus. to keep the whites from getting overland they enquired of our Indians whether 1t was burnt. The Uchee Indians at Fort Mitchell, who professed to be friendly with the whites, had gone there spies, and had told them all about the strength and situation of the Fort and that they intended take it, and get the guns and ammuntion They said they could learn all they wanted from these Uchees as they put out at night guards and would come and talk to their men.
 Iadian Hostihties,-The Dews from the Southern country is still deporable. The Indians continu- ing their massacres, their burnngs, and their pages, uninterrupted by the military forces of Gen. Scott. Men, women, and children flying in all directions from the tonahawk and the scaping knife, whilst our troops reposing in their summer-quarters. The power, which measured its strength with Great Britain and has recently boasted of it's ability to meet the armies of Napoleon, seems utterly astounded and paralyzed by the operations of few hundreds of half naked and marauding savages. Additional aid IS loud l ly invoked by the Government. The Secretary of War informs Congress, that Gen. Macomb recom- mends the immediate increase of the military establish ment to 50000 men. The Norfolk Va. Herald of the 25th u states that four companies of artillery have been detached from the garrison at Fort Monroe to in the campaign against the Greeks, and, that the detachment was ordered to embark in a steamboat,
 
 by the railroad to Augusta, and thence to proceed to the rendezvous at Fort Mitchell, Alabama. The Her. aid adds, that all the Marines shore have also been ordered to the same service. Those in Washington, 25O in nurnher and the company at Gosport, were to proceed south by steamboat conveyance without de- lay to be followed in due course by those from the northern stations.
