A gentleman who arrived on Thursday from
Kew West, brings intelligence that vessel
commanded by Spaniard and an American,
recently touched an Indian Key full of negroes
supposed to have been purchased from the
Seminoles in exchange for ammunition. The
people at the Key had not force enough to ar
rest the miscreants.
The Columbus Herald of the 10th OF August
states that Gen. Sanford had returned from his
| trip to Baker county, after an absence OF Il
davs, in which time they thoroughly secured
| Chickasahatchee, Echoonocoowe and klrcha-
looney swamps, butIwithout finding the enemy.
In hunting, however, fresh trails were re-
Cucntly discovered andit was well known that
he Indians were scattered through the sw amp,
! but in portions too small and so securely were
they covered by the thickness of the swamp,
that it was found impossible to ferret them
| ont. No Indians were therefore found nor
| was fight had with the exception of the skir-
msh between the Indians, and the scouting
party under command of Col. Afford.
The same paper also states that body of
Tennessee troops accompanied by Paddy Carr
and some or l0fricndly Indians, visited the
Hatchachubbe and Cowagee Creeks, entered
the swamps and drove for Indians-they Jump
ed up party with whom they exchanged
few Shots, and finally succeeded in capturing
twelve, which lumber they brought to Fort
Mitchell and placed in confinement; if our CON-
mandng officers would enlist few more
friendly Indians in the cause of the country
| against the hostile Indians, andplace them under
| Paddy Carr asleader & commander, they would
| fndthis troublesome case soon swept fIom the
docket, and the Court now sitting for the trial
of SAVAGE marauders might be speedily ad-
iourned, sine die. There are scores offriend-
ly Indians who are ready and willing for such
enlistment. Gen. Sanford's command broght
up and deposited at Fort Mitchell six women
and children belonging to the hostile tribe.
These Squads and their little ones, were found
on the Kinchafoona Creek, almost in state of
starvation. In flying fromthe whites, the men
left them to take care of themselves and be-
ing of times closely pursued by our troops, they
had killed of their children, who were crying
with hunger, to prevent being overheard and
discovered.
We hear from Tuskegee that strong hopes
are now entertained, that the Indians, who
have heretofore remained friendly, will be
speedily removed without much difficulty. A
contract has been lately entered into with
company of able and enterprising individuals,
to'remove them forthwith, and it is said that
most of them are at this time apparently dis
posed to emigratc. Many of them have al
ready encamped, preparatory to their depar-
! ture, and others are daily coming int IS
very probable, that the imposing force now
quartered in that part Of Alabama, has had its
influence in bringing them to their present de-
termination.-I6id.

TIE PRESIDENTS TOUR.

We understand that, near Parrottavi:le,
in Cooke county, a Hickory tree was
pIanted on one side of the road, somewhat
withercd, and opposite to it on the other
a llourishinc White Oak, both bearing
hacs, between which the Presidents car.
riage had to pass.
.At cambridge, in Jefferson county, we
learn that White. Oak was erected on
the public square, from which floatet. a
white flag-the ladies dressed in white,
waved theii, white handkerchiefS as he pas
sed, and on his arrival at the tavern, every
lady who had or could procure awhile dress
waited on HIM, and congratulated him on
his arrival.
From these indications Of public sentI-
ment, we presume Gen. Jackson must have
been convinced oflwo things--First that
the people of East Tennessee personally
entertain due regard for him on account
of the services he has rendered the country
and secondly, that they arc immu'ablyy
resolved to resist every influence which can
be brought TO hear upon them for the pur-
pose of inducing them to desert the man
of their choice, Judge White.

We see paragraphs going the rounds OF the
newspapers stating that the "awful disclosures
of Maria Monk" have been proved to be false.
Weshould rejoice to see proof of this kind; but
all that has yet been given to the public
seems to us to come far short Of proof. Maria
Monk long since challenged those who have
charge of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery to let hel
enter that establishment with committee
one half of whom should be appointed by her
opponents, and one half by herself, offering to
let the truth or falsehood of her book be judged
of by the report of such committee. Her op-
poncnts however, instead of accedng to this
reasonable proposal, after the delay ola year,
when they had time to make any change they
might choose in the interior arrangement OF
buildings, carry III committee of their own
appointment, to prore that Maria Monks &C
count of the building is fasle. And the report
of this committee is the proof that the book is
false. In our view this movement Of those
Who have charge of the nunnery is strong
circumstance tending to prove the truth OF the
book.

Gen. Gaines having called upon the Cover
nor of Tennessee for brigade of Militia to be
employed on the Western frontier. the Cover
nor promptly issued his order for brieade of
volunteers, and the people of Tennessee as
promptly obeyed the call. In the mean time
the Governor forwarded copy Of Gen. Gaines
requisition to the President who has counter
manded it, and ordered the volunteers to be
merely mustered into service and discharged,
stating that if there are any appropriations out
of which they can be paid, an order to that
effect will be given.
The reason assigned by the President for
countermanding the order is that there are no
reasons set forth in the requisition Of Gen.
Gaines to Justify the belief that the other for
ces at his disposal are insufficient. "To sane
ton that requisition," says the President, "for
the reasons which accompany it, would war
rant the belief that it was done to aid Texas,
and not from desire to prevent an infringe
ment of'our territorial or national rights.
The President has also addressed a COM
mumcation to Gov. Morehead Of Kentucky, or
!dering the troops called for by the requisition
of Gen Gaines, ifthey have been raised, to be
discharged.

Mr.. EDITOR: beg leave through the
columns of your paper to call the attention OF
Merchants and particularly those who are
owners of Wagons, and all who expect to have
goods hauled from the river, to notice the
road on which they are to be hauled. 1t is
now almost impossible. The object of this
communication is to procure something to be
done towards repairing it before the COM
mencement of the business season. The
writer is aware that there are few who have
a knowledge Of the state Of the road and are
willing to contribute either money or labor,
and it is his wish that some of them would
name day or two inthe columns ofthe Gazette
for working on said road. The writer will
not be backward in doing his part.

INDIAN WAR.

TALLAHASSEE, Fl.) Aug. l3.-Volunteers.-
No intelligence has yet been received from
the Tennessee volunteers, since the return OF
Mai. Washington and Capt. Perkins. 1t is
expected, however, that they will report Flor
ida as being quite as healthy as the country
where they are at present encamped. We are
happy to state that there is no complaint OF
sickness among the Florida troops since the
disappearance Of tie measles.
Horrible--A few days since, aparty Of fLownds
county (Ga.) volunteers fell in with party OF
Creeks, near the Florida line, and killed ten
warriors, and took eight women and children
prisoners. The prisoners were taken to a
house, under guard. In the evening, one OF
the squaws was observed to give her children
drink froma coffee pot. Shortly after, she OBJ
tanned 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 ID instant, Col.
