Woodward and Walker, understand, directed the movements of Jim Boy and his Indians. They scouf- ed the country and thus captured Ne-ah- -Emahla and his Son. (for the of doing which much credit is due to Thomas Woodward,) and thus by separating the Chief from his hostles, they all compelled surrender. They surrendered to Jim Boy, and were handed to General Patterson and Jessup, who will send them West of the Mississippi, in due time.
