COLUMBUS, (Ga.) January 20.
Alarm IN the Crcrk Nation -lntelligence has just
been received in our city. that the Indian Warriors, who
were encamped about rs miles from this place under
charge Of Lieut.. Sloan, broke loose yesterday morning,
and took TO the woods, carrying with them their rifles,
ammunition, Sc. Their number is some two hundred,
and there is every reason 10 believe that they are as
hostile as at any period of the late Creek war. A Ia
mily came into town last evening, who had fed from
alarm, stating that the Indians appeared numerous in the
neighhorl,ood where they had lived-lhat they were
constantly w%hooping and shooting around their dwell
ing, and gave every demonstration of hostiiity.--As
We stated a TO- .night since, there are about four hun;
drcd warriors yet remaining in the Creek Nauon-and
agreeably to our hes, information, they have all good RI
Hes and 4 supply of powder and ball. What damage
may they not do: What defence have the whites? The
friendly Creeks now at Dade's battle. ground digging
bitches, would be of more service at home.
The Volunteer Companies Of this city hold themselves
ready at Il moments warning TO take The field. We have
not learned whether the Governor of Alabama has order.
ed out any troops; the news has not probably reached
him yet.
