ing on board Capt. Dawson's company the Fancle Vo-
lunteers from Green county, and part OF the ndePend

woul mistake IN the character OF those troops sent
down.
THURSDAY, May 1G.-Five companies Of States
troops came in to-day (240 in nunibel under the
rnand Of Major Lomer They were t'rned in line IN
front of Gen Scott head quarters and after the usual
salute, took up the line Of march for Fort MITCHELL
They formed battalion Of stout healthy men, 10 whom
the fagucs of the camp would be but rfe, and for
whom we think the Indians would form strong dislike
on first appearance
The steamboat Reindeer returned from her jaun down
the river, having discovered no Indians During her abb
scncc al the different landing places, however. they dis
covered evident marks Of Indians having very recently
crossed the river and several canoes were fastened 10
the bushes. which bore fresh marks Of violence upon
their sides No doubt large body OF Indians but
a short distance from the river: Cowagee Creek
Firing was heard short distance up the crcek-and il
is supposed that the Alabama troops under Gen. Moore,
have encountered the Indians. Several cannons were
also heard at Fort MITCHELL which seemed to be in the
neghborhood of Nc-ah Matrices camp.
