the southern possession* as a whole, and

j bers, of Fort Gaines. The express had
heard from them frequently by persons j
| whom he met, and was tryimr to overtake
| them, ami at tlie time oTThe murder con Id
I not have been more that five miles behind.
| They wi re killed last Monday morning
within a few pules of (he plixe where they
had Scamped the nijjht before. Tne ap- '
pea vance indicated about twenty Indians,
and ihs trail en'eitctr^e r?*ad in the direc?~

h a fe.v of thV ^elrhborin^ inhabitants who"
have la-;' ;! refuge there. So safe, how

(iair.es is sa:4 -o be of con&iderahic strength;
j Ion Scott vj n mere camp, having very
p 11 <i vl defence*,. T wo expresses dispatch
ed from Fort Gaines to Fort Scott have not
! been heard of ; nor has the one sent from
this place since he left Fort Mitchell. ?
Jackson's express says that he was inform
ed by a V -iendly chief that gen. Gaines had
sent advices to Fcrt Mitchell requesting
| that as few passages should be mads thro'
the nation as possible. this is probably
J correct, and necessary, as the hostile influ
ence seems to be extensive and scattered,
and the middle town on the rout to Fort ,
(Raines, which is avowedly hostile, lies only
, 87 miles below the Alabama road. Guv
| crnor Mitchell is at Fort Mitchell, and
| will use hi# influence and authority with
I the, nation, in courting their- neutrality y,
or directing their vengeance.
u Provisions are plenty, and transporta
tion less difficult than was expected. It Li
uncertain when. we shall march ? perhaps
in two cr three days. *
