GENERAL NELSON’S BRIGADE.
Fort Jennings, (E. F.) Jan. 4. 1838.
Gentlemen: —l have merely time to say
to you, that since I last wrote you, we
have met the enemy and diove then from
their lurking places. On the 19th ult.
we re*crossed the Suwana river, at Fort
Fanning, and took up the line of march
on the 20th from Fort Baker, where we en
camped that night, for “Dead-Man’s Bay.”
We proceeded on for two days, in com
pany with our forage and baggage train
of wagons. The third day, at daylight
we set forward, leaving the wagons under
a strong guard,with three days allowance,
in this way we went it, with a kind of a
rush, (Nelson like,) over pine barrens,
Eonds, wet and dry hammocks. A little
eforeGP. M. we reached Dead-Man’s J
Bay, surrounded the hammocks at the !
head of that bay, and drove them, but j
saw no recent signs of Indians. We then [
bent our course some miles north, on a
direct line back to where we expected to
meet the wagons in expectation of falling
in with old Tigertail, the chief whom we
were in pursuit of,but saw nothing of him
save many old signs, such as halts, tents, i
&-c. We reached the wagons, but did j
not remain with them longer than the
night ; we continued scouring the swamps
and hammocks back from the bay, near
ly the whole route to Fork Baker, which
is located a little below theSuwanne Old
Town, (as I have before stated to you,)
but made no discovery of Indians. On
the 24th, we re-crossed the river at Fort
Fanning ; not being able to get all over
the night previous, it being one of the
most blustering and rainy that I ever wit
nessed. On the 25th, at about 9 o’clock
A. M., we set out for Fort Clinch, hav
ing only a half day’s allowance of corn
for our poor half-starved horses, and that j
half ration very unsound. We had small )
supplies for six days. This was a most
delightful day indeed—equal to a May
day with us of the mountains. We trav
elled about 23 miles, saw many deer, but
no recent sign of Indians, 20th was as
lovely as her sister (miles 25th) but by
lar, far the most eventful ; at daylight we
were on the march ! Were I capable of
wielding and guiding the descriptive pen,
I would here attempt to portray the beau
ty and lovelines of the rising sun, and his
reHecting rays on that day upon the savage,
but that task must be left to an abler hand.
We traveled through swamps, hammocks,
mud and mire, until about 10 o’clock ;
and about 10 or 12 miles from our camps,
when we discovered fresh signs of Indi
ans ! We pursued it, and in about half
an hour’s time, we jumped an old red fox ;
eager pursuit was set up by the advance
guard, (Nelson and his aids close up)
some of whom wished to shoot, but the
general would not suffer it; he, (the Indi
an) was soon caught, his bowie and rifle
were instantly taken from him, the gener
al demanded to know of him, how far, in ,
hundred yards off, his tents or huts were? j
He gave us to understand,seven, by hold
ing up so many fingers : we then rushed
ahead—soon discovered them—killed five
—took one old negro prisoner, the others
made good their retreat or escape. There
was, agreeable to the old negroe’s account,
nine, besides children. We burnt and
broke up what ot their little household
furniture we could find. They were situa
ted in an almost inaccessible hammock.
To gain access thereto, we had to wade in
water up to our chins in many places, for
more tbon 300 yards.
After we had destroyed those camps,
we took old John,the Indian,as our guide,
to take us on to where there were others ;
encamped; about one hundred, from his;
own account. This was about twelve o’-1
clock, A. M. onward we pushed, that is, j
one company of the 2d regiment. Beard
ing and Captains Thompson, Beck, (offi-j
cer of the day was Bearding,) and Lieut. |
James 11. Worley, acting —led on the ad
vanced guard, John B. Chastain, A Chas
tain and J. Sutton of the Ist regiment,
under the immediate eve and superinten-1
deuce of the old Blue Fox, (Gen. C. H.
Nelson) when we described some fifty or j
sixty Indians making their way with rap
id strides, from a pine barren to a very ex
tensive thick, and almost impenetrable
hammock. The old Blue Fox rushed a
head to the hammock, and as he went
the woods resounded with the delightful
sounds (of nearly all, ay, all) charge !
charge ! ! charge the hammock, my brave J
boys ! Score them, my brave fellows ! I
Give them gall and pay them down !” No
sooner said than done ; word charge,
snd that too at ths> sigh! of an Indian, a
lonebeinga sufficient stimulus for the,
mountain spirits to risk their lives ; an al
most instantaneous and simultaneous rush
was made—we drove the enemy —they
flew in almost all directions. We rushed
them through the hammock, more than ;
two miles wide, and again was formed by
Lt. Col. Davis. Captains Thompson and
Bearding, and Lieuts. Williams and Shel
ton, with about 75 men, charged the ham-)
mock back from whence we entered, to
the right and left—saw but one Indian in j
the latter charge—l flashed my rifle at
him ; it being nearly dark he made his.
escape.
I» this engagement, it is said that w«'
killed eight, and it is thought by some to
have been much greater than what was
seen,as there was great profusion of blood,
scull bones and brains seen through the
hammock. We lost one man killed,Lieut.
Jennings, and one wounded,Posey. Many
had their clothes pierced with the ene
my’s balls. Three horses were shot. Ma
jor Terrill’s was shot under him. The
action lasted about two hours, running
fight.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
upon all, ay, all, w ho were in this engage
ment, particularly the old Blue Fox ! He
may truly be said to be one of the most j
vigilant, active, untiring and undaunted j
officers, that is now engaged in the Flor- j
ida service, and whether Gov. Gilmer;
knows how to appreciate his valuable ser- j
vices, it is hoped that our great Federal !
head will not suffer them to pass unheed
ed by. This battle was fought upon “the
Walker Sassee” or “Cow creek.”
You will make your own comments,
my limits are so circumscribed, that i
cannot write you as fully as I could wish.
The army is in very good health. We)
will scour the country completely between j
the rivers Withlacooche and Suwanee, |
before we leave it. It is thought that
there are about seven hundred warriors j
here under Tiger Tail. We are now!
erecting picqiiets near our battle ground ; j
it will be called Fort Jennings.

The Oneida Bank Konnr.n. George'
B. Harvey, one of the robbers of this |
bank, was tried last week at the Court of
General Sessions, held at Rome, (N. Y.)
and sentenced to the State’s Prison for
four years and ten months, being the ut
most extent authorized by law.
It seems, by the account given of this)
man in the Rome Telegraph, that when
he first came to Utica, from Hamilton, j
(U. C.) in October, 1830, he had no de
sign of perpetrating the felony ; but he I
unfortunately met in Genesee street a fel
low Englishman, who had robbed the:
Custom-House in London, of <£7ooo, and !
also the Providence steamboat of a con
siderable sum. This man proposed to him
the robbing of the Oneida Bank. They
each hired a house, brought on their
wives, and engaged in some honest busi
ness. Their first trial was on the Ontario
Bank. On examination, they found an
entrance to this impracticable. They |
then commenced their plan of operations |
on the Oneida,which they understood was j
soon to commence business. Finding
that they were to occupy the old U. S.
Bank, Harvey’s accomplice, being a black
smith, made the keys, lie first made a
key for the out door, and making an en
trance, he obtained from one of the desks
all the keys of the interior,which he took
home, and after taking impressions of
them on wax, returned them safely back.
On the first examination of the funds,
they found only about 820,000 in specie,
and they concluded to wait until further
instalments were paid in. Preparatory to
the execution of their purpose,they broke
up house keeping, sent off their wives,
and went down to Little Falls. On Sat
urday before the robbery, they concluded,
as all the money was paid in, that Sunday,
the next day, would be the time to make
the effort. The Bank was to go into op
eration on Tuesday following. They ar
rived at Utica on the morning of Sunday,
Nov 20, 1830, at daylight, and saw Cox,
the porter, leaving the Bank to go home.
Shortly after, Harvey’s accomplice made
his entrance with a carpet bag under his
cloak, and matches fora light. Harvey
remained outside to give alarm if neces
sary. The vault was opened by keys, ex
cept one padlock, which was wrenched
off 8800 in gold, and Bank bills, amount
ing to 8112,000 were put into the carpet
bag. A few dollars in change were taken
from a keg of silver.
The business was done in the bank in
fifteen minutes. On coming out they
immediately got on board a canal boat,)
throwing the carpet bag carelessly among )
the baggage, as though it was of no val
ue. At Toronto they divided the money. ;
The porter, Cox, is now seen to be inno-!
cent, as was by most supposed,and all oth-'
er persons but Harvey and his accomplice. !
The first intelligence leading to the dis- j
covery of the culprit was not received un
til June about seven months after the rob
bery, through the Bank of Rome.
Horrid Transaction. We published
some time since, an account of a tragedy
enacted in the House of Representatives!
of Arkansas. The following more detail
ing particulars of the transaction, copied)
from the Rochester Democrat, are pain
fully interesting :
On the 4th December, a bill authoriz
ing the payment of a bounty on wolves, I
was under discussion. Upon its third >
reading, an amendment was proposed by
Major Anthony, that the bills of the Re
al Estate Bank, located in Little Rock,
sWffi.l “Stf-bp offxtfwd 'w, p»NW>s»t of the
bounties, until the name of the President, I
and also a magistrate, should be affixed,!
as security for their ultimate redemption. ’
It appears that the President of this bank
(Col \\ ilson) is Speaker of the House,
ami looked upon this amendment as a per
sonal insult. He accordingly deliberately
rose from his seat, drew his bowie knife,:
and walked directly toward Anthony. The i
members made way for him, says our cor-;
respondent, “and A. retreated a few pa
ces for the purpose of drawing his bowie
knife, the blade of which was nine inches!
longer than Wilson’s,and as W. came up, j
A. truck at him with his knife. j
W. threw up his left arm, upon which
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
he received a blow, which nearly severed
it, at the wrist. A. struck W. another
blow, which he received on his right arm,
Col. W. then threw down the chair which
A. had placed between them, and thrust
over the chair at Anthony. Ilis knife
struck A. as near the middle of the body
as you could lay your finger. The knife
split the breast bone, and passed directly
through the heart of Anthony. He threw
the chair at Wilson, fell back, and expir
ed. I was up at the State House a short
time after, and saw A. lying on the table
—a doctor was examining him. I never
before saw such a sight, and never wish
to again. The shirt and clothes were
clotted with blood; the table where lie
had been laid had a small puddle of blood
upon it, and on the floor there had been
dirt strewn that slaked up the blood. A.
was a large powerful man. So was W.—
The gash was about two inches wide.—
The knife W. struck with was 9 inches—
A’s knife the blade about 18 in length.—
They all carry knives there, or pistols.
There are sevaral kinds of knives in use
A narrow’ blade, and about 12 inches long,
is an Arkansas toothpick.”
The trial of Wilson w as commenced at
Little Rock on the 13th, before Justices
Brown, Fuller and Hawkins, and contin
ued till the ltitli. Messrs. Fuller and
Hawkins decided it to be a bailable case,
Mr. Brown dissenting. The amount of
bail required was 810,090.

ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS RE
WARD.
WHEREAS it has been reported that there
is an outer bar opposite the entrance to the
Port of Brunswick, in Georgia, some miles dis
tant from that surveyed by three Commission
ers of the Navy in 1836, and having less water
upon it; the above reward is offered to any per
son who will discover any such bar so situated
as to cause a hindrance to ships entering the
Port.
And whereas it has been also confidently re
ported that there is a bar across the inner chan
nel of Oglethorpe Bay, opposite the city of
Brunswick, having only the depth of six or
eight feet of water on it at low tide ; a reward
of five hundred dollars will he paid to any per
son who shall discover such bar, or any bar
so situated, which has not an abundant depth of
water upon it fertile passage of merchant ships

it gives the same depth of water that we find on
the outer bar, with this advantage, that the
bottom being soft mud creates no damage to
ships and may be verv easily deepened if it

A Advertisement,
A .\’eiv 1 ear, and a J\ew Inducement, for sub
scribing to the H'ceklji Messenger !
rSAHE cheapest and decidedly tlie most pop
-9 Vilar Family Newspaper in the U States,
with a circulation of many thousand subscrib
ers Tlie Ami.uicax Weekly Messenger is
published every Wednesday, on beautiful white
paper, of the largest class, at $2 per annum, or
ten subscriptions for $lO.
Its contents arc adapted to the Wants of the
Fanner, M echariic, Tradesman, Agriculturist,
Merchant and Manufacturer.
This Journal was commenced on the first of
January last, and, without any previous effort
to h raid its success, went into immediate and
rapid circulation. Such was the unprecedent
ed popularity which attended its projection
that, in about six months from the period it
was first issued, not less than fifteen thousand
names were embraced on its subscription lists!
which have been ever since constantly and
rapidly increasing, and now bid fair to super
code in extent and stability every other pub
lication xvhicb has existed in the literary world.
It is generally conceded that the contents of
tlie Messenger embraces as much origimal
mutter as any other periodical of the present
day. The diffusion of useful and xvholcsome
information, with a view to the cultivation of a
correct knowledge of I’olite Literature, is the
chief object at which it aims. .Arrangements
have been entered into, by which the publish
er will he assisted in the editorial department
by the talents of three or four gentlemen of
distinguished abilities—and it is intended to
introduce several important improvements,
w hich will bespeak additional popularity for
its columns.
As the character and leading features of this
Journal are well known throughout the United
States, it will be superfluous to enter into a
recital ol the same. The season is approach
ing, however, when the reading public are ex
pected to make their selections for the next
year, and we deem it advisable, therefore, to
lurnish a brief and explicit statement of our
terms, which wo hope will prove satisfactory,
and be implicitly observed :
A ten dollar bill, forwarded by mail,postage
paid, will pay for ten copies of the Messenger
for one year 1 A five dollar bill, forwarded by
mail, postage paid, will pay for four copies for
one year ! Two dollars, paid in advance, is
the price of an individual subscription for one
year One dollar, in advance , xviil pay for a
single subscription for six months only.
A five dollar note will pay one year’s sub
scription to the Weekly Messenger und also
the Gentleman's Magazine, edited by W. E.
Burton, Esq. ,
Hl# Remittances from Clubs, to be entitled
to the full advantages of the liberal terms here
offered, must be made in sums of, five’s and
ten's of current Bank notes—any lesser a
rin unt, forwarded by mail, will be classed a
long with individual subscriptions.
A premium of FORTY NOVELS, neatly
and appropriately hound, containing the pro
ductions of many of the celebrated writers of
tlie present day, will be presented to any Agent
forwarding forty subscribers, and the pay in
advance,as heretofore stipulated.
At the expiration of the terra subscribed for
and paid by clubs, the paper will invariably be
discontinued, unless the advance money is for
warded previous to that time, and the subscrip
tions renewed, in the manner specified.
It will be a ggmt saving to the publisher,
and facilitate the early mailing of the paper, if
tlie individual forwarding the sum required for
four, or ten, or more subscribers, w hen they
are located together, will allow the package to
be addressed to the Postmaster, or someone a
mong themselves, who being made acquainted
with the names of the (Bub, can as readily dis
tribute them as if directed separately.
All letters mnst be postpaid, or they will
not be taken out of the office. Address
