Stnee writing the above, We have been
fav5rcd by Nr. George Pitt, with an extra
from the Columbus Enquirer of the 18th
INST. But we find very lltle 10 addition to
the above. The Enquirer states, that al.
ter the destruction OF Roanoke, ID men
were found dead and 20 wounded that the
women and children in all probability had
escaped and the steamer Georgian, which
was reaorted TO have been destroyed With
eli on board, was thought 70 have been got
Oft without serious loss. Col, Felix G.. Glib
son. an esumabe and brave man, and Cap.
tain Horne, solicitor Of the Chaltahoachee
Circuit, were among the siam. The steam.

The Western mail has Just arrived bul
brings nothing Of Importance further than
What send you enclosed. Old Neah, MIC.
CO. tine head man Of the Creek nation, has
at length declared in favor OF host!itics, and
n'8 Carc Nailhla has sent in word to Go.
hubgs, that he would burn the bridge, aud
If he could not take Columbus, he would de.
Ya,tate the country towards Flint River
E.aIv confidence was heretofore felt IN the
friendship of these two Chiefs, but that con.
S1euce Is now at an end. The Indians
have complete possession Of Roanoke, and
have made a breast work of the cotton
bales found there, and so far have been sue
ee,stul ~ repulslng Two companies thai
were senl against them. Among the slam
after tie first battle at this place, we're iaunC
the bodies Of a llr. II. Joice, Mr. kershaw

ana X. Gduley. Capt; Horn IS not dead
but badly wounded neither is the report o.
tie death Of Col. Gibson, as he IL still SAID

country, aud our Governor IS using his bes'
eAer'lons 10 pat 4 stop to Indian disturb

Ia addition to the particulars contained
20 the foregoing letter, We derive the fol-
loan. from the Macon Messenger Of tbs
18th INST, giving an alarming account 0
the extent Of the Indian lnsurrectton IN the
Greek country, the chiefs, although not dis
p I'd TO be hostile, being wholly unable tc
control their tribes. The family Of a Mr.
