“ I have particular pleasure in giving
you copies of letters received by me from

ed from here on the 26th ultimo, with only
six days provisions, for Fort Gaines. lie
arrived there on the fitli inst. where he re
ceived six day * coi n only for his Warriors,
and then pushed against the enemy, lie is
highly deserving the character of a warrior.
11 is conduct proves him the decide friend
of our Government and laws ; he is the vio
lent enemy of the hostile party, and they
must expect to feel the weight of his arm
if they give him battle.
“ He has done what he mentions in his
letters, while on his march from this post
to join Gen. J.tclonn, and is exclusively en
titled to all the merit of his labour and per
severance.”

Fort Mitchell, the fourth day at twelve
o’clock, I have taken three of our enemies
that were firing on the vessels on this river,
and one was wounded at the same place
when firing on the vessels. I have got them
in strings, carry ing them to Fort Gaine«,
and expect to catch some more before I get
there. Nothing more, hut the creeks are

Gheii their lives—l have heard where a

you again, ns I promised you 1 would do so
; 1 went down the creek Cliaubullee the 12th

could not pass it for the hie;li wateis; nn

, but he was gone and we could not follow
j him till we could get som provisions we
1 had left behind us; land Maj. Hawkins
followed bin and overtook bis party, and he
got away from us with about thirty men.
We have taken 53 men, and about 180 wo
men and children prisoners, without the fire
1 of a gun ; and we killed ten men that br*;ke
|to try and make their escape. 1 have not
| lost a man since I left Fort Mitchell. He
would not have got away from us, but he
had some eattle ou hand that he tried te
, drive out of our way—so I sent 100 men to
t«ke him and his cattle; when they came in

on horses, they got away ; we got what cat
tle he had with him. \Ve are very scarce

INDIAN MASSACRE.
Extract vfa letter from Dr. \V. B Ector,
now on a lour in the Albania territory, te
the editor of the Reflector, dated Fort Clai
borne, March 16 —“ A most horrid massa
i ere was committed on the federal road. To
miles above here, on Friday night last, the
14th inst. I witnessed the scene myself, anti
hasten to inform you of the particulars. Mr.
Wm. Ogly, and three children killed, anti
two wounded ; Mrs. Eli Stroud wounded,
aud child killed by Indians. I encamped
within 2 miles of the place, and dressed the
wounded tnyself. 1 considered them all
mortal, at least very dangerous. Mr Ogly
was the only one shot aud scalped ; (ho
others were tomahawked Two persons
only, Mrs. Ogly and Mr. Stroud, escaped
unhurt. Several parties of Indians hod been
seen in the neighborhood, but were suffered
to pass, as they professed friendship, though
offering some personal insults. Trails liava
been discovered near the road, firiug he.-rd,
and Indians occasionally seen Danger and
alarm prevail throughout the rout and fron
tier of the territory. Governor Bibb is here,
and is taking measures to pursue them, and
intercept any hnstiles who may be returning
from below the Spanish line, and protect
the road and inhabitants. Two settlers
have lately been killed at the mouth of
Murder creek. 20 miles above Fort Craw
ford. Mucnaek’s wife, who has been \vi th
the hostiles several years, has lately return
ed, and says that the Indians du not intend
to make a stand against Gen. Jnckson, but
will separate in parties, lav wasJe the fron
tier country, and murder (he inhabitants.”
