Indian Aflhirs. CoLL'aBBD?, JulyS. Return of Gen. Scott and Staf, iritk the Army under Gat. San ford and Brig. Gen. Lance, tcith their respective Staffs. Oit Thursday evening last. Maj. Gen. Scott of the U. S. Army and Staff, returned to our city. On the next day, Major Gen. Sanford and Staff, and a part of the gallant army of Georgia came in, all in cxcelleut health and cheerful spirits, and t.f tin, fitv.? cncampcu in uic ncimi/ *# - ? Brig. Ucn. Loire and Staff came up scveral days ago, in consequence of the serious indisposition of Gen. L. Since which, we arc happy to state, his health, although yet far from being established, is much better at this lime. Ever since General . Scott and the army crossed llio river at floanukc, they have been actively employed in scouring the swamps of the Hatchachubbce, Cowaggee, and Uchee . creeks, searching for the enemy, but without success. The Indians had cleared i out to parts unknown, or surrendered in j tiinc to save their bacon. They have played the game up to the handle?took care to do all the harm thev could, before the white people could march against tbein witli an organized force. As soon as this was effected, and the force got in their neighborhood, lo! they give up. and are taken into camp, fed well, and j hauled off to Arkansas, laughing in their sleercs, all the time, at the success of their trick. This is but the realization of what wc at the start predicted; it turns out true to the letter. Tts true, and pit/ 'tit, 'tis tree. The army trill be disbanded and paid off st this place, as soon as the rolls can be made out. (at least all that can be pared.) They will return to their homes, with the praise of their commanders, and the thanks and well wishes of our whole community. With promptness and ala* crily, the volunteers came to the rescue? we say let a similar promptness and despatch be u*cc &> miles long, and varying from one to four in vidih At 12 o'clock, M. the 1st lust. I learned that the Indians were cn? camped within tour miles of this place, but; was enabled to reach them short of sixteen: miles inarch. On yesterday, about 10 o'clock, A. M., I ! made an attack upon the enemy, succeeded I in driving them from their camp, with the loss of nine that were left dead, and from the signs of blood, 1 ?U| j-o-c 20 or GO killed and wounded Tb6 Indians fled jm-ci^iuiely in every direction, bat i was una bled to pursue them in consequence of the denscness of the bushes through which they retreated, the exhaustion of our men, and the state of our wounded, having seven of them, and two 1 (ear, mortally. I think there is no doubt that | the Indians are still in the swamp, and from : the most intelligent persons here, I am indu(ced to believe they design remaining. We need one hundred ttienuty tuaiaus, cgumiur ded by Paddy Carr, to pursue tbe Indians and ferret ihem our, and shall be gratified to receive them as early as practicable. In consequence of tbe incessant rains we have had, and having fought in water, we need 3000 cartridges. Iu the meantime, I may take tbe liberty of saying, that the expedition! will be brought lo a close, and as soon as it | is, a full report will be made as early as practicable.

Jesaup will, under bis direction, establish, in a few days, two (military posts on the post route between Columbus and Tuskcgee: Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, THOS. J LEE, Lieut. 4th V. S. ArtAtd.de-Cunp. To the Post Master at Col ambus, Gilt will bo perceived, by i perusal of (lie above letter of Gen. Scott, that the mail communication between Columbus and ? * r Montgomery, will be rtsesiaDiisnca in a it-.v days.?Wc karn verbally from Ibe Post Master here, that by direction of Geo. Scott tiro am II battalions of regular troops will more this day'from Fort Mitchell, and take position on the post rout. One battalion will establish itself at Caswell's or McCIellan's, fifteen miles this side of Toskegee, and the other at Adams, or Dibit's, twelve miles from Columbus. Alter the posts are established, the troops, or a portion of them, will be kept constantly moving between the poets, in order to nrreat~any straggling Indians who may be found upon, or near the road, and also to inspire confidence as toperfeet safety of passing the road. In addition, Capt. Garronny's company of Mounted Iufantry, left Columbus yesterday morning fer Tuskcgce, by tbo mail route, in order to open the way, as it is somo time since the road has bean passed over, and will return this day. A mail wagon, with a mail, will bo despatched in company with the Mounted Infantry, and the mail will bo continued to bo transported regularly thereafter, although it may not be conveyed oftcncr than triwetkly far the first week or ten days after the line goes into operation, owing to the loss of stock, and the bad condition of the road.

Brooke, have been ordered to proceed forthwith to Fort Winnebago, to strengthen that post. The lodians arc encamped within a few miles of tho fort on pretence of awaiting the payment of their annuities, which takea place on tho 1st of August. From II the information he has been able to obtain, he thinks that they are hostile, and that without a sufficient force to overawe them, we shall hare a oar in this quarter about the 1st of August. To prevent this, ha has called upon con minders of forts tipaji this frontier for troops to garrison CorU Winnebago and Howard, the latter being the place where hostilities will probably commence. A Menominee Indian, how in confinement at fort Howard, is to be tried on the 12th last, for the murder of a Mr. Bennett, the surveyor. There is little doubt of bis execution, and this may bo laid hold of by the Menominee Indiana for the commencement of opera. tiona, when they will be sustained by tbt ir allies the Winnebagoes." St. Louts, June * *. Important Military Arrangement.?From iin authentic source wo icurn thai the President of the Untied States hat requested Governor Dunklin lu accept thu services of one thousand volunteers, for the protection of our Western frontier. This requisition is made in compliance with the recent act of Congress, authorizing the President to accept the services of ten thousaod volunteers, in case of Indian hostilities. General Atkinson, to whom the protection of the Northwestern frontier has been confided, is authorized bv the Secretary of War to call upon the i j Governor for the services of these volunteers. With this auxiliary, and the dis11 position already made of the regular forces 1 * - l.-l: 1 i at the frontier posts. u is uihctvu mm . peace will bo preserved among the tribcr. located on our borders. We may shortly * look out for squalls" on our own fionticr. The same fierce and long-smothered vengeance which the > artful eloquence and daring intrepidity of this Tocumieh of the South (Oseohi) has ? aroused in (be Seminole* and Creeks, also > lurks in (he bosoms of the numerous tribes of Indians by whom we arc surrounded. The very first breeze that waf s the lime .and triumphs of Oscola to the prairies of the West, rosy also Lear upon its bosom the reverberations of a warwhoop that wiil riog in lingering and appalling echoes from the Red rirer to the Wisconsin! The protection afforded as by the Government is by no means ample, and in the event of hostilities being commenced,. we would necessarily have to rely, in a great degree, upon our own tncaus of defence.

New York, July 1. The French frigate VArtkemise is now anchored in the North river, having ari rived here a few days since Irom Martinique with despatches from Admiral Mackau, Governor of the French West India islands, for tho French Consul General here. She is commanded by the Cherolicr De La Place, advantageously known by his history of the vorage round the world, made for scientific purposes by the French frigate La Fmoiite. On Sethrday the Mayor of tho city and General Morton dined on bi>ard LAnkr* mise, by invitation from her commander, and were received on board with a salute ; from her guns. Another salute was fired j by the frigate yesterday, when she was j visited by the French Consul General.
