CAPTAIN HoLLcNANs DEAru.--The
Apalachlcola Gazette. dated the 10Th
inst. contains the latest information
relative TO the exposed situation of
the brave fellows under Captain Hol-
Ioman. at the Biock-house at the
Wvtilacoochee. and the death Of that
i.i-iated officer.
Col. Wood arrived on Wednesday
last from Tallahassee. We learn
from him that. before he left ITALIA
hassee. three individuals had arrived
there from Capt. Hollcman's com
mand, on the Wvlhlacoochee. The
accounts they bring from the brave
fellows, In the very heart Of the en-
emys country. are well calculated
to arouse the feelings OF every patrI-
OF.
1t seems they were ordered to this
beck house on the 5th of April. and
thew have subSiSted ever since mere
ly upon corn and water! The lndi-
ans have gwen them very little res
p!te; pressing upon them III vast num-
bers: On one occasion they were
attacked on all sides by not less than
one thousand Indians. Capt. Ho!lo-
mans men returned their fire with
effect. They pressed upon TIE block
house IN such dense masses. that ev-
cry shot of the brave defenders took
effect. After this contest. vhich ter
minated so fatally to the Indians, they
failed to show themselves for several
days. 1t was during this respite
Cap. HoIioman undertook to strength
81 ms de!enceS between the block
house and the river; but while enCl-
Scd II this duty, he was shot down
by the indians. The balance of the
party secured their retreat TO the
house. THIS fact showed the bes,c;g-
ed that though the Indians had learn
ed the folly Of endeavoring to shoot
them through their deicnces. yet that
they continued TO be strictly obser-
we'd. After the death of Captain
Hol!oman, the command OF the com
pany devolved upon IieutenantI
......, who is determined, at all
hazards. TO maintain his position till
relieved.
1t was to relieve these brave fell
lows that the late call for men from
this county was made by the Exccu-I
tive of the Territory. Col. wood re-
ceived orders to hasten his company
forward with all despatch; but, on
his arrival here, and learning the I'M
pleasant intelligence by the different
points on the river above, we under
stand he has concluded to postpone
his departure till a despatch can be
forwarded to the Governor. inf forming
HIM OF our exposed situation here.
and the imprudence of calling men a
broad to tiga when their presence is
absolutely required to guard their
own homes. 1t Is expected that the
orders to detail men from this reci-
ment, to serve the expedition above
referred to. will be counterm2nded.

 They will also transact COMMISSION BusI- NESS of every kind which may be entrusted to them-buying up-country produce on the river, &c.
