Orr TO CAMr.-We got glimps, on

Editor of the Fort Smith Daily Argus, as
he passed through our city. on his way to
Gen. McCulloch's headquarters. Mr.. Tur-
ner having been compelled. for want of pa
per to suspend the Argus, has given his
services to his country-has thrown down
the pen, with which he has so eloquently
and faithfully advocated the rights OF the
South and the duty of its sons, and drawn
the sword tc fight for her frecdom and In
dependence, scorning to remain at home an
idle LOCKER on, when the brave McCulloch
was urgently calling for aid, What posi-
tion he will occupy in the army. We know
not-whatever it is, however, we are conf
dent, will be filed with credit to himself
and honor to the cause in which he is en-
listed. If Gen. McCulloch has a vacancy
in his staff, and wants bold, energetic,
competent soldiers, Geo. NJ: Turner. is the
one to fill it. The best wishes of his
friends 90 with him. May the God of bat
ties guile him safely through the 6rery trial

Letter from the Creek Nation.

CHoSKE, ". N, Oct 70, 1901.
FRIEND DUNHAM An express leaves
for Van Buren, tomorrow morning, and /
embrace the opportunity to drop you line
or two. Our regiment. the lst Creek, Col
Mcintosh, has been in camp several days
past, about 20 miles west of this place,
awaiting the arrival Of Col. Cooper's Choc-
taw and Chickasaw troops. Col. Drew's
Cherokee troops, and a few hundred of the
Creek militia under Chilly Mcintosh. Col.
Drew's regiment came some days ago. but
his men not having been mustered into the
service were ordered to return to Fort Glib
son. Col. Cooper came up this week with
Choctaw, Chickasaw and Texas troops and
about 800 of the Creek militia have arriv-
ed. understand regiment of Texans is
expected ina few days. These forces un-
der Col. Cooper, take up the line of march
on Monday westward. A council of the
Upper and Lower Greeks will be held at
Council Ground on Monday or Tuesday,
when it is hoped that the difficulty existing
between the Creeks may be amicably and
finally settled. A-poth ley-o-ho-lo, or
"Old Gouge," the insurgent Chief is sup
posed to have about 1900 warriors. but
they are poorly provided for. and there is
no doubt that considerable disaffection ex-
lists on this account, as they know our own
troops are amply provided with all the nec
essaries of life, and also the best of camp
equipage and transportation. odd Gouge'
is said to have about 600 fugitive slaves
with him. who have gone to him from all
parts of the Indian country and the bourd-
cring States these will of course be re-
quircd to be delivered up. This matter
settled, the brigade will at once proceed to
attempt very difficult but very important
enterprise, which for prudential reasons
cannot be now specified
