PROGRESS OF THE CREEK WAR.
n.Vc arc almost as barren of incident
here, in relation to the morcmrnts of the
Creeks for the past week, as we should be
were we entirely Tcmorcd from the seat of
action. Aeliec preparations, arc making
by those in command to concentrate the
men, arms and munitions of war at this
place, for the purpose of passing into the
nulion as soon as all things, are to readiness.
In the ntcan time a considerable
t'orcc has been sent down the river and j
- I I - !
stationed along mc unaiunouonv^ iwrj
the purpose of protecting thc.frontier in- J
habitant on the river below us. A large.
number of troops have already come in, j
and many more arc oil the march and will
l?c hero in a few tf&ys.' Those that are not
sent down the river are cncamped*vtr the
Alabama side of the tivcr, opposite Cblumbus,
with the exception of the rolubtccr
corps and drafted men of ibrs city
and county, whom wc~ presume will be
kept here for the protection of the place.

place; the other,, under E-nc-ah Matlila,
amounting to perhaps eight or nina hundred,
to another swamp some distance below'
him- Both - the chiefs professed be
friendly, and it is said keep a white flag
flying at a prominent" point of their encampments.
Bnt thtftC who know the Indian-character,
know that cunning and

Oseola played Gen. Gaines
a most arrant trick by this same raanceovring
with the white flag?gained time to
remove fits women and children and then
ran away himself.
* On Sunday evening J wo Chiefs and seven
other Indians, and a white man by the name
of Bailey, came in as a special embassage
from Nc~ah &iicco and E-oo-ah Mathla, to
learn what terms would be granted to tbcm

iL'lP( <C'U IIIV UCpUMHUU Km uavo v? m. ? .?day
morning. We have beard nothing farther
of the conference or the deputation since
it* departure. A
half-breed by the name of Jim Henry,
pretty veil informed, baring been mucli with
the white*, seem*to beibe moMoctire among
the I ml i ens in their predatory excursion?.-?
We tako tlie following account of his career
of (be last week from the Herald: " On Saturday
night last,? rtnrv reached the city,
that himself and bind were within 12 or 15
tmles of the titer. Hen. M'Doogald promptly
railed upon the troops to crow the Cbaitahoo- (
. clicc in pur*uit of this "scoundrel; and alitm'
. it was 11 o'clock in the night, yet we are
pfoud to say, that Volunteers came forward
with alacrity and spirit from the Cblufljtlpi?
Guard-*, and Capt. Erans' Rifle corps, amounting
in all to 80 or 100 men, who marched .
into the natton at the boor of midnight in '
.-en/eh* of j he Mr age foe?and after hating
trarched all nigbt without being able to discorcr
die enemy, rwupied to their encampments j
The next morning. Tbo following mght, Jim
llrnrv and i.L? uantr approached erohtn six
suites of town ami burned the trcbcc bridge; ^
nnd during the night be cfpssed to tins Georgia
side ol tho rircr, and commuted ?irpr*d?*
lions by kitting, and destroying, tbc booses add 1
property of Mr. John Victory,'whose pt*n?a.
:kmj h about 20 mites below Columbus."
Two or three other incursions bare been '
made loio ibis State across the Chattahoochee, 1
some twenty-fire or thirty utiles below this 1
place: Mr. Burdit, the orcrsecr of M<-?. f
Brewer, was murdered on Saturday night, r
and all the buildings on the plant aliot burnt "
The buildings on Mr. Quarles' fine plant a- '
i*m baTc aUo been cestroyed- About one J
hundred and eighty Indians are said to hire }
been present at tlic burning ol Mrs. Brewer's }
ikximts. * They were afterwards pursued by *
troop* from Randolph county', and tracked 1
to the rircr xwainp. At Quarks' plantation i
the citizens had a skirmish with lira Indians, 1
aud tye regret to slate that a Mr. Jackson,'of
Stewart county, was killed in the rencontre. '
Aim >st daily incursions are made into she 1
Indian country by srnnll parties from this '
place, but htthcrt" with but little effect. On
Jionaij a piny 01 auoui a aozcn wcni oui i
as Ur as the Oucbcc crcck.and iti the crcning i
a tw]u?d of Indians came over to mack tbcm J
The whites fearing they would be too strong <1
f.?r them fled, and were pursued about the <
woods nearly the whole night, the Indians at i
time* bring clt>?e upon them. They got into;
Kurt Mitchell about three o'clock in t tie inor-!
iring/snd came up to Columbus the next'
day.

across the Uochce.
Dr. JJoxoy with n scouting parly, went
down to Broken Arrow Bind, about ten:

Wu l-rrri of r.o hostilities recently among j
the L'pper Creeks. We think tire great mn? j
of them are disposed to l?c friendly. Apoth-j
Icltfdo, Tu'-kcm and J tin Boy arc friendly,
and will assist the whiles. An express who
arrived brre from Tuskrgce on Wednesday,
states that he passed nitwit two hundred Indian*
on lite rond, all of whom appeared to
lie friendly.

A confidential letter from Col G. written'
from Lumpkin the day after, thus describe?
[lie attack upou Koanukc, and his miraculous

'No apprehension was left of an attack,
the men had nearly all gone out to Lumpkin,,
not mora than 20 men in cpmp, which was

and another gentleman, purswd by several
Indians, came to my retreat. I then gave up
again all earthly hope of escpe, and told
them I had dciermined to run down and
jump into tbo river. They insisted on my
staying and ail dying together. As our Maker
would have it, the savages at that timecommen.ed
horning houses, to which their j

In lite coprse of l!?e discussion in the l

Southern Agitators \rho hove endeavored
to augment and keep alive the excitement

conduct of the Abolitionists. From the i

readiness with which many persons sign <
