INDIAN MURDERS.
It becomes our painful duly, to anoooocc

Georgia.

buoyant* with health, with the prospect
of many days ahead, bat before meridian, a
treacherous tod savage hand deprived him
of iifo, and left him to wciicr in his gore.
lie or as on his tray to Fort Mitchell, to
complain of Indian depredations, and was
brutally mordered and scalped by some of tho
Creeks, a few miles below ibat place.
Thus sodden!v has a noble, hiffb minded.
and generous individual, been cut off in the.
spring time of life, and the \cry prime of
manhood.
Deeply do. wc aympaibizo with an only

The body of Maj. FJournoy waa brought
to Colomboi, and Recently interred, last
Saturday.
A Mr. Hobfaa bu also boon murdrcd while
asleep, by the same treaohcroos foe. A
rng man who was lylug to bed with Mr.
made h? escape by imuoediiily raising a
ptank of the floor, and creeping onder the
house. i
More than a hundred iodiriduls. including
whites and negroes, have fled to Georgia far
safety; otncrs are cum tog to, ana war sooms
inevitable. These individuals, including
Rev. J. E. Dawson, Rev. E. Glenn, Dr.
Richardson, CoL A. B. Dawson, Mr. Pitts,
Dir. Rattle, Col. Richardson, and many
others, bavo left bebiod them eevaral boo*
dree aerosol land in a high auta of cultivation?to
become a desolation and a waste.
With thvsc melancholy facts before him,
will the Editor of lb* Montgomery Adrartiser

Will he continue to assert, evou upon tho authority
ol " the superisUuutmg Age* t / ike

more bumble and peaceable than at present?
Will that Agent cominue to circulate such
reports, and thus prevent that relief and protection
from the Government, which the people
of Alabama lure a right to cxpoctf?
We trust the Government will ik> longer lis

Fort Mitchell, Ala. May 9, 1830.
8in ?I arrived at home yesterday, aod
foaud the neighbor* considerably allarmcri
a boat Indian depredations; and in order 10
satisfy mrsdf of the intentions of the Indian*,
I despatched a messenger after some
ot the principal chiefs to come and St*e me,
for the purpose of ascertaining from them
what their people intended. The Chiefs
hate not come, but rent me word that their
jroOng men were Ucnt uj>on war, and had
assembled in the swamp near lit; Federal j
rood, with the ricw of ntincking any troops;
that might march in'o the nation.
I hare satisfied myself th'at they comcinplite
mischief, and without military aid, the1
pettier* must be dnrcn from their homes with
a great loss of property, if not their Itrcs.?1
I hare thought it my duty to giro you this information

FKOM THE SOUTH'
Col. JVIiitc, Delegate in Congress for
Florida, arrived here last night from An
gneta, having seen and conrersed with |
ihefttTssengers who arrived at a late hour |
the night before from Columbus. There
is no longer a doubt of a general Creek
war.?Fifty families have been murdered,
and 2000 people fled to Columbus for protection!!!
The state of that frontier is most disastrous.
There ore not 500 eflcctire men
between the Creek and Sexioolcs lines,
and all Florida will be devastated, if the
Governors of South Carolina and Georgia
do not sand mounted men to the Floj

FROM ST. AUGUSTINE.
RETURN or MORE VOLUNTEERS
The steam pacne Juhn Stoncy,'Capi CurI
rr, arrived at this port Lst evening from St.
I Augustine, with a number of Volunteers a
list cf which will be (bund under our marine
bead.
The John Stoncy brought a copy of the
St. Augusuoc Herald, of the l*Jth msU from
which we bare made some extracts, and from
which it will be perceircd that the Savages
[ had renewed their d- prcdatioos in every part
of the country, by dividing themselves into
mail bands. The tracks of Indiana had
bccnaccn within fire mile:; of St. Augustine
and tbat inhabitants of that place were apprehensive
of an attack from them.
We regret to hare to slate tbat a duel was
fought in St. Augustine last Sunday morning, j
between Lieutenant Simons and Lieut. I'll- *
lans, an officer in Capt. Fripp's command, j
and both of this ciijr, in which Lieut. Simons
reccirod his antagonist's ball, and cspircd
within two days after.
From, (h St. Jagtutiae Herald, Max 12,
Whrn thr Induiu acre at Mr. Lhiootit's
boose on Sal urea? night last, they informed
his negroes that tboy wanted litem to go vri.lt
them 10 cttliirato their corn, and by signa
ihcy said they had their corn already about,
two feet high.?They said that they bad fol-!
lowed the mounted men that had goue from I
Hl Augtijtine last week, all the way to the i
Cowlbr J, and bad teen lh?.m cross the Hirer
and wcrctben on (heir return.
The Indians also said that they were acquainted
with the number of rcsscla that
wen in the harbor, and that they intended
soon .0 be in (ho city They said that they
ttscd to be afraid of the white men, but that
now th?7 were afraid of them no longer.
' Now we do not really believe that they will
attempt to come into the city, yet they i'o
possess a most extraordinary assurance. This
cannot be denied, ami it is therefore proper
to weigh well the position we occupy. At
any rate, it u very mortifying that the inhabitants,
should be co npelicd to take refuge
I into this city, and abandon tbeir planting interests,

dock on Huttday night lie was alarmed by:
s itnc of his negrnw who told him thai the
Indians were at the t cgro house. Mr. Joseph

about ijfty yards from lite house. Mr. Du-!
p nt liad four gtms loaded in his house, three j
of w Inch he filed iu (he direciion of tin; place j
where Mr. Long was shot, which had the effect
of making the Indians relic t farther off,
when they commenced firing at the house j
and yelling. lie was thus enabled to cornel
outol his house by the back dour, and fearing;
bU rcreit to his boats was cut off, he fled '
across his field through the thickets, to the
public roid. Mr. Dupout met one of his uc!
grocs, from whom he procured a blanket.!
j.ind tvrapj>cd round one of his children, who.
j had been forced to come uway w ithout his!
clo ties.
j The Indians had ransacked Mr. DuponlV
house, and haded (en horses with plunder,
| one of which the negro brought off with him
! when he made his escape. They distributed
l Mr. f)uponts guns am nig the: tn-groes. and;
told them to kfll ercjy while man they saw.!
They had previously visited Gen. Herman* j
dtz's plantation and secured three negroes j

Ou Sunday morning upon the receipt of;

camo upon ? parly of Indians, 7 to 10 in
number, who were driving off a large body of
catlic. The volunteers were in ad ranee and
charge upon and fired, wounding two
of mem.'1 he Indites returned the fire and
killed- Afc- buporitVhorse under him, and
wounded Capt. Dimich'a. The remainder of
the Indians died into the Ilamraock near by, j
and were pursned by the troops who poured
in a heavy fire.?Ono of the regulars was
killed and fonr wounded?two of them
scvcrly?night coining on they were compell;
cd to retire to the open woods, where they en
camped and remained a fe?r hoars; bat as
there was no water for the horses or men,

The whole number might have been taken
had daylight lasted. Capt. Dimick reports 4
Indians killed and probably as many wounded.
The man who was killed they buried,
aud on returning to the ground next day,
they found him dag up and scalped. They

GEN. SCOTT, AND THE VOLUNTEERS.
We find in the Gloic of the 12ih instant, a long
loiter from Gen. Scott, under dale of ' Picof-ar*,
3-Xli April," giving some account, of the moreti%A?*Va
nf ft*#* iMAns r^nm timm rav and of* lh#?.f
I march from thence to Volusia, together uilb hit
J views of what it will be urcri&anr to bare done to
putjan end to the war. We make the following
short extract from this letter, as being in oar
opinion very explicit, or rcry ambiguous, we Icarc
onr read mi tu judge which.
"Tocod this war, 1 am now persuaded that not
less Uun 3000 regular troops ass indispensable;
j 2^1)/bot, and about 000 horse: the country to bs
i scoured and ocean ed, requires that number. 1
have no particular d?*?irr to conduct ihc operations
| of the new forces That is a dutjr which 1 shall
j neither solicit nor derhec.
j * Of tiic 3000 good truopi (sot roluatrersj Cr?I
hundred will lie orcesnrt logsrrisuc fitc posts f-.i
the deposit of supplies, icc."
I Tiic General ccitainlj decs not intend to sajr
! that fcd'jAlttrt are not good troops, al least trc
j hope be dors not mean io reflect on these, who in
iuis insunce dotc roacc iv raauy ntimmi ?? uiv
, call of their country.
If tlic campaign baa not succeeded, and it baa
Dot, airly the Volunteers were not to btonr.?
General Scott, in this letter apeak* of * extraordinary
delay*." If there was any " extraordinary
! delay*," we should be more inclined to ibe opinion
| that tbey oeeorred rather on hi* part, than on the
part of the Volunteers. Nerer, wc bcliere, never
was there the sauie number c! troops gatliered
together on so short notice, on such au occasion,
with aucb alacrity; and dependant entirely for
their anpport tor aowrtiinc after their organization,
on their own resources, and the contributions ol
the public. The charge of " extraordinary delays"
eomee with a bod grace from General Scott.
The Fhyrltcrilla Okcrrcr, in noticing our correction
of an error into which it had (alien, with
rcrpcct to the election of member of Congre?
from litis District, two years ago, *rr
u We would Ice! Cndrr obligations to the Columbia
papers, the Times or the Telescope, if they
would giro us the laclt of the ca?e, in regard to
the time when liorcrnor Haync rcceircd the official
notice of the vacancy, when he ordered the
election, when he gave the member elect his ereOcnt.aU,
and the cause of the delay, if any, in
transmitting thrin to him."
We sincerely hope the Columbia papers alluded
, to will comply with this request, and 4* gi?*e us the
(acts of the exso;' that is the very thing we wanted
at the time, and which we should be pleased
now to gel at. The Lditor desires to know 44 the
cao?c fl tlio U? Jay, ij avj, in transmuting the
credentials ol the member elect. We think the
Kditnr might have loll out the wocda we lure italicised,
because it implies a doubt whether there
vat dday or not; it implies 4 doubt ol a fast which
us one wo bt'lirre at all acquainted with the circumstances
rr tr dttulud. But whether Ihia delay
was justifiable or not is another thing; in oilier
word*, whether " the cause of the delay ' *vasof
*u li a character as lu clear (iov. II wax of" blame
is perhaps to scone a matter of doubt, for ourselvc* J
we have never had any donbtson l!ie siihjeci.
Hot that there ?at ddayi, we think Uie following
extract of a letter from Col. Mwiti^o, to a fnend
in this District, is sufficient to prove.

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
We are indebted to the publisher, Mr. White,
j for a copy of the April number of this interesting
???*. i^iseiu predecessors; his coiupwu cum*wly
cf original matter,, and of such Character too,
as roust ttc are sure meet the approbation of eteiy
reader of taste. 1 he number before us contains
a very interesting editorial article, designed to
prove that Miklzel's chess player is not a pore
machine, hot that its movements are rt gala led by
tniud; and we tlunk the Editor has succeeded in
his desigo; no one cc imagine can doubt but be
has fallen on the true explanation of the mystery
which heretofore surrounded the Aulomaton chess
player.
The entire contents of the Messenger are such
as are calculated to sustain the high character
it has won for itsrlf, and the Editorial Department
is conducted with superior ability. We think ilia
improving in this respect.
The Lady's Book for May has reached us, and
is got up in its osaai handsome style, and the enterprising
publisher, Mr. L. A. Godct, promises
still further to impCYe it by the addition of new
embellishments, to commence with tbc July number.
We arc pleased to Cud the Book receiving a
