THE CREEK WAR.

Information in the Courier of this morn
ing, from Columbus, Geo. TO May l9lh,
states that an attack was Immediately ap-
pretended from 1900 hostile Indians, assem-
bed in a swamp below that town. TheIe
are 5000 warriors near Tuskuga, who are
going TO attack Wetumka soon. There
were 1000 troops assembled at Columbus,
and 500 more were Immediately expected.
A letter from the Postmaster at Colum-
bus, dated May 18th, states that the
large offers aud efforts he had made to
procure the lost mails had proved una
yallDg. Farm houses within five miles of
Columbus have been burnt. Eleven of the
persons out of the fifteen, who were with the
the mails, have reached Columbus in salty
The other four were killed at the burning of
the Roanoke.

of May Goth, communicates further particu-
lars of Indian murders committed near that

Further nctos from Roanoke.-A compa-
ny of armed men from Randolph county,
hearing of the destruction of Roanoke, re-
paired Immediately TO the spot. They ar
rived there yesterday afternoon, and found
the site of the village n possession of a COM
pany of Indians, headed by white man.
They charged them with spirit, and Kill.
led three of the Indians and their white lead
er. The balance succeeded in gaining the
swamp, and escaped, leaving their pursuers
IN possession of their killed.
The Western Nail is entirely stopped.
We have no news from that quarter since
Tuesday last, and it is impossible to say
when we shall again have any commune
cation with Montgomery, Mobile, &c. The
Indians have taken all the stages attempt
ing to go through, and murder the drivers
aud passengers, us many as fell into their
hands. We think the contractors perfectly
Unsuitable in stopping the mail, as it is next

MIR. Russell, one of tho porsons supposed
to have been killed in the first attack upon
the stages, has since come in and the two
contractors and another passenger from the
last stages have also arrived, There are yet
SIX persons missng-three Of them known
to to be killed, HelIet, young Hardeway of
Macon, and a Mr.. Lackie.
We are requested to state, that among the
passengers who were murdered by the In
dams last Tuesday, was Mr.. HeIlet, of
New York, one of the contractors for re-
moving the Seminole Indians, and that he
had IN his possession, large amount of
traits, checks and other valuable papers. |

A dame of the bluo-stockinc school;

THAT never would marry fool 4"
I" Then think not of wedlock," he answered, my
fair,
Your vow was Dana's suggestion,
Since none but fool it is easy TO swear,
Would venture to ask you the question:"
Not so fast, my fond lover, she answered with see
"Nor prate of chaste Dis inicrcession;
No wise one will take your opinion of me,
Because you're fool by confession"
Dear Miss, in this action alone I'm fool,
And yoa're welcome to use the concession
Foryour lovers by every sensible rule,
Are evident fools by profession"

A Rogue Outvitted.-Capt. Marryatt
the proper author of " Jacob Faithful" anc
Japhet in Search of his fnther," relate,
the following anecdote in n late number o.
the London Metropolitan. Talking about
roguery, there was curious incident occur
red some time back, in which rascal was
completely outwit,ed. A bachelor gentle
man, who was very superior craftsman
ands caricaturst, was laid up in his apart
ments with the gout in both feet. He could
not move, but sat in an easy chair, and was
wheeled by his servants in and out OF his
chamber to his sitting room. Now the well
known vagabond asceralned The fact, and
watched until the servant was sent upon a
message. The servant came out of the
front door, but left the area door open, C om-
municating with the kitchen. Down went
the vagabond, entered the kitchen, walked
up stairs where as he anticipated, he found
the gentlemen quite alone and helpless
81 am sorry, sir, to see you in this situation"
said the rogue" you cannot move, and
your servant is out" The gentlemae star
ed sit is excessively careless of you to leave
yourself so exposed, for behold the consc-
quenccs take the liberty of removing
I this watch and these seals of the table, md
putting them into my own pocket-and as
perceive your keys are here, shall now
open these drawers and see what suits my
purpose "Oh pray help yourself, !
beg" replied the gentleman, who was a.
ware that he could do nothing to prevent
him. The rogue did so accordingly; he
found the plate in the sideboard drawer,
and many other arisles which suited him,
and in about ten minutes having made up
his bundle, he made the gentleman very
low bow and decamped. But the gentleman
had the use Of his hands, aud had not been
idle; he had taken an exact likeness Of the
thief with his pencil, and on his servants
returning soon after, he Despatched him
immedially to Bow Street with the drawing,
and an account Of what had happened.
The likeness was so good, that the man
was Immediately identified by The runners
and he was captured before he had time TO
dispose Of single article. lie was brought
to the gentleman in two hours afterwards,
the property found upon him sworn to, and
in six weeks he was on his passage to Bota-

Curious wager.---A curious wager was
decided a few days since in tavern at
Gloucester, between a corn dealer and n
specuaior in railway shares. The former,
in the course of conversation, remarked
that if farmer were to bring II barley-corn
to market one week, and each week twice
as much as the week before for every -geel.
for twelve months, all the ships which ever
entered the port of Gloucester would not be
able to convey them. A laugh went round
and of course bet was proposed. The
railway speculntor, however, speedily found
himself minus GI0, the amount stalscd, for
on calculation it appeared that it would
require l,099,5lI vessels, each capable Of
carrying 1000 quarters Of grain, to stow the
whole of the barley corns on the fifty-sccond
week. The parties present. it is understood
each set about n more dIlligent study of
Cockcr.-She6ieM Iris.
The number Of grains brought during
the whole of the SO weeks, as above stated,
would be 4,503, 500 ,627 ,370, ,495, and if u
bushel of wheat be supposed to contain
$4,000 grains, the result as uboye given
will be perfectly correct
