Troops below, have tak.cn Neah-Mathln
anil his son prisoners, and that the war i-J
ai an end.?That they have scoured the!
country west of Irivinton. I
1 do not doubt that the news is true.
I have just learned that Neah-Mathla.
was decoyed off by some friendly Indians,1
and given into the hands of (Jen. Jesstip.j
Extract of another letter, from a private;
ol the same company:
"Ca*p Georoia, June 16th. 1 <30- I
We hare just received intelligence of j
a battle fought between the Alabumiaus,
and Jim Heary, which is said to have
been fought yesterday about ihirty miles
below this place?the report is that the
Indians were badly whipped, and their]
town burned, but 1 caut say the report is j
true,?although it was expected that they j
would have a battle yesterday?I hope it
may be true. It is also said that Ncah-j
Micco and one hundred warriors have]
gircn themselves up,?If these reports be
true, we shall soon end the Creek Campaign."
?
From loo Millcdgcvillo Iterordrr
We hare been favored with the following
ileras of news, received by ihc last;
mail. from a most respectable source in J
Columbus: j
Nc-ah-Mathla, (the groat warrior of,
the Creeks, and at the head of the hostile'
party.) and his son, have been taken pri-j
soners and brought to Fort Mitchell, by;
(*cn Jessup. <?en. JessOp nnrcht?! from i
Tuskegee with kti u hundred \rhitc men,
and five hundred friendly Indians. They
passed near Ne-ah-Mathla's camp, and
took bi n and his son prisoner*. This
morning (?cn. Scott was sent (or Iron: |
Fori Mitchell, and has gone there.
Should the above news be correct, and'
there is the best mason to credit it, Nc-ah-'
Malhla's capture must have a powerful in- f
flucnce in bringing hostilities to a close:''
as he is the very soul of the hostile pirtv. |'
The troops at Fort Jones, we arc in- (
formed by the same authority, consisting it
of the <*winncll, Monroe and pirt of the . 3
Stexvart companies while scouting, had j'
another brusli with the Indians. Thry,c
were over-powered, and had to return to!0
the Fort. It is said the commissary James
II. Warren, formerly of Pulaski, was'1'
killed. " |*1

An riprru from Fort Jones brought a In-; D
icr ol the lGih, staling that a fight had just l'
Uk en place with thr Indians in Jasnci's b'
fields, in which the whiles were worsted, {?
and one James Warren was killed. A let-j^
tcr from Lumpkin county states that scores j?
of Indians were on the Georgia side of the J'
rircr. On the 20lh, 2500 Georgia troops, el
under Gen Sanford, came into Columbus ol
from their encampment, and marched
doun the rirrr on the Georgia side. A

810,000,000 will be pledged to the cause,

with even a bribe of ' Ten Millions to the

made the instrument of this injustice., i
may envy (Jen. Houston the glory of

THE HEALTH OF CAMDEN.
Notwithstanding tl*r- fate heavy rains, Camden
continues to enjoy its usual health. Predictions of
a sickly season, it islruc, were hazarded, in spring,
from the abundant promise of fruit, aud irout the
late freshet which almost ruined the crops. Thooo
f-jrehuuinfM, however, have not as jet been realized.
Never !iij the i jwn been more exempt from disease
??f local origin. U.jl us tlic period of trial has not
elapsed, it t? of viui importance that all proper efforts
should i>e nude to prevent tlic dreadful scoorge
oi southern countries, and abo to rectify false impressions
of its recurrence. If Camden most bo
considered on the decline, owe prominent cause of
its injury must, unquestionably,be traced to the illfounded
rumor that the town 13 sicklv. The citizens.
who, 1;. the ?ummcr of lnl7, fled to the sand
hills, from the fever which latally prevailed ovrr almost
every secti m of the state, by that removal
struck th<? first blow of lum to the character of
health, the transaction of business and. uf course,
to the value of properly previously he'.?1 by them.
In vain has tiie repeated etf rt been nirde to arrest
t!ir con e . j. nces of tliis mistaken policy. The migrator;
b-ibil ah.eh was a-stimed en tire plea at nece.'sitr,

seemed forbidden U> enter a-place (even for merchandize)
frar.i which the natives thought tbems
ivr.a compelled to withdraw. Ilc..ce 0 iarge

f-o-ii N<?r h C.tohna, iias Lecn diverted to other
n . lacis. and the merchants, who were supported
i<v a lucrative busmen;, have been obliged to seek
o-a dvr.ve* more suitable to mercantile speculation.
