informants of cowartlice or treach-
cry. and on the negroes severe pun
ishlnent was inflicted for endeavor-
ing TO create groundless panic.
So confident were the garrison that
they even neglected TO shut the
gates during the day. or post a sim
gle sentinel. This fatal error end
ed in massacre as complete and
terrific as that Of Wyoming. While
the officers were indulging in
bowl of punch, and the men
were scattered in squads playing
cards or enjoying a cup of ahiskey,
the Indians made a rush through
the open gate, and before the garri-
son could collect their arms, had
begun an indiscriminate slaughter.
On the first sound OF alarm Major
Beasley rushed TO close the gate but
in the act of doing so was shot down
and scalped. Capt Jack, Of JefIer-
son, and Capt. Middleton and Lieut..
Osborne, of Wilkinson, fell by his
side. Ensign Chambliss fought as
long as there was hope. After re-
ceiving several wounds. fatigue and
loss of blood rendered further de-
fence on his part useless. He es-
capped through sally port, swan
the river, and after a journey of
several hundred miles through the
wilderness, during which time he
live wholly on roots and nuts, ar
rived at his residence in Jefferson
county, so pale and wasted that his
own family did not recognize him.
He was the first to bring intelli-
gence of the massacre, and it is be-
lieved that, Of the hundreds of de-
tenders, not ten survived to tell the
tale. Some months after his re-
turn home, Chambliss had extract
from his body by DR.. Cox, OF Match
ez, two musket balls and three ar
row-heads.. He died some years af-
forwards from the effects of his
wounds.
AT this day it is difficult to pic
ture the CONSERVATION produced by
the massacre, as many of the men
capable OF bearing arms were alb
sent in the service of the United
States. The country was sparsely
inhabited, presenting an almost un-
broken wilderness OF canebrake and
forest, aud the people lived to
large extent on game. then and for
many years afterwards very abuud-
ant. Many citizens removed with
their families to Washington, Adj
ans county, which was rendez-
vous fo- volunteers and militia !;
while others fed to the canebrake es
and remained concealed until the
alarm had subsided. Considering
the danger imminent, the planters
met together and decided to erect a
stockade fort and block houses for
the common safety and defence. A
site was selected on the lands Of

though the whole Indian tribe lay in

sion was produced by great noise in
the canebrake which was explained
by The appearance Of an enormous

Soon after their arrival scouting

seen in that direction ve.e a small
party Of friendly Choctaws OF their
way to the white sett' nents. They
said that several Of their runners had
just arrived from tie army with news
that the Cr eks had been defeated
by Gen. jackson. This news deter

there was a display of patriotic ardor

amusing to see how soon the crowd
dispersed. The streets w,r3 s. e e,dily

age, sought their homes among the
hills and canebrakes, Whence they
