From the Columbus Enquirer, of Feb. 5,
On Monday last Generals McDougald
and Baily, with other officers and citizens
who were requested to attend, met the
chiefs Of the Creek Tribe of Indians in
Council, at Fort Mitchell, for the purpose Of
hearing such propositions as the chiefs
were willing to make relative to the distur-
bance on the river below. The Commanding
officers with those in attendance, went at
the special and particular request of the
Chiefs, and for the purpose Of letting them
distinctly understand the condition Of the
controversy and what should be done in
future. The Indians were disposed, as far
as we could Judge, to maintain every friend
ly relation with the whites, avowed that they
had endeavored to restrain their tribes from
aggressions on the citizens Of Georgia,
and that none had been guilty but
a set Of lawless young men who had com.
mitted the offences contrary to their coun.
sci and wishes
The Chiefs also signed the following
paper:
We the undersigned Chiefs Of the Creek
Nation of Indians, do hereby pledge our
selves to restrain Cur young men in future
from passing over into the territory Georgia
at any place prohibited by law; that we
will restrain them from committing depreda.
tons on the persons and property Of the
people Of Georgia, and if in future any
such depredations shall be committed, we
will aid with our tribes in arresting the of.
tenders and delivering them to the civil autho-
rity Of Georgia. And VIC further pledge our
selves to cause all property stolen by the In
dians, to be brought to Fort Mitchell and
delivered to the commanding Officer, where
the owner can identify and get the same
and that we will cause to be dispersed all
such Indians as are now, or may be here.

deep love ofcountry, with more intelligence,
and perhaps, more ferocity He is half

Creek Nation and Red stick Tribe. In

tive, complexion rather light, deep restless
eyes, and remarkable clear and shrill
voice, and supposed to be from 80 to 35
years Of age. He has brought himselfinto
notice, and raised himselfto his present sta.
ton, by his superior talents, courage, and
ambition not having inherited any title or
command. Formerly he was proud, gloo.
nv, and insolcnt, and on one occasion, in
talk with the late lamented Agent, Gen.
Thompson, burst into paroxysm of pas
sion, declaring that the country was theirs,
that they wanted 70 Agent, and that he had
better be off; for this he was arrested and
confined, afterwards he appeared penitent,
became cheerful, signed the Treaty, and
was released with many fair promises.
He then made himself very useful to the
Agent and officers at Camp Ling, perform.
ing many daring feats in arresting criminals
among the troublesome Micouskees, with
which tribe no was at variance :; and for
these services received repeated marks Of
friendship from the Agent, and gained his
entire confidence.
Suddenly he threw offthe guise offriend.

GLAD to have such q leader; and raised
forthwith, the fire brand and scalping
knit.
He, it is supposed, led on the party which
attacked and defeated the advance guard of
Col. Warren's regiment, about the 18th OF
December.
On the 2eth he was seen at the head of a
band who rushed upon Gen. Thompson
and some other gentlemen, within range of
the guns ut Fort King shot and scalped
them
On the 31st, he made sudden and uEex.

struggle of an hour.
During the action he was recognised by
the officers and men Of the regular army,
fighting several PAGES in advance of his
men, andsafer each discharge of his 1fc,
wiping it with the utmost GOODNESS; and
his voice was distinctly heard when his men
were flying. trying to rally them.
He is, or pretends to be, of the belief,
that the old treaty at Payne's landing is the
only binding one, and according to his ac.
count, the time stipulated for their removal
by that treaty. does not expire for five years
yet; and he says he can fight the whites fol
that length Of time.
