 Horrible--A few days since, a party of Lowndes county, Geo. volunteers, fell in with a party of Greeks near the Florida line, and killed ten warriors, and took eight women and children prisoners. The prisoners were taken to house under guard. In the eve ming one of the squaws was observed to give her children drink from coffee.pot. Short ly after she obtained leave of absence, and not returning, search was made for. her, but she had made her escape. Her children were all found dead, from poison administered by their unnatural mother. On Wednesday the 2d inst. Col. Wood, of Randolph, Geo. with only 3S men under his command, discovered a large party of Indians in a swamp. The savages challenged him to come into the swamp for a." fair fight" Notwithstanding his inferiority in numbers, he boldly charged upon them. After a desperate engagement, hand to hand, the savages fled in all direc- tions. Twenty-seven warriors were found dead on the field of battle, and many more were supposed to have been killed and wound ed. Before their flight they strangled their children by stufing their mouths and nos trils with mud moss. The children were found in that condition after the battle was F3oridian. aaSst@8y ygFa
