The Arkansas State Gazette says that a
letter has been received at Little Rock, which
states that Rev. j. o. Mason, Missionary
Minister to the Creek Indians, West. was,
shot at by one of them, the ball perforating
his coat, and very narrowly missing his per-
son. The Creeks, says the Gazette, are
mostly averse to religion and education, and
indeed, to the advances of civilization gener-
ally.-Mr. Mason could have given them
no personal cause of offence, for he is man,
the mildness of whose manners and CONVEX
sation is calculated to dsarm even the hos
tility of savages.

reached town, that Major Bailey, with six
hounds, had fallen upon an Indian trail,
which led TO a camp of forty, four of whom
were killed, and the rest ran off, leaving their
mockasins, &c. behind. One dog was killed
BY the Indians, and the scouting party was
still following the trail. This is the most
important battle that has taken place long
