THE AUGUSTA VOLUNTEERS, Says a notice on lire margin of a paper received last evening, arrived in Savannah at 2 o’clock P. M. oil Monday, just as the mail was closing. CREEK HOSTILITIES, A letter from Millcdgevillo dated 23d inat. from a highly respectable source, to a gentleman in this city, says— 44 a report has reached us this evening that the Indians have taken one of our baggage wagons, loaded with muskets & amuuition, which we were sending to our lower counties, to protect the citizens of this state, from the intrusions of the Creek Indians, who aro committing depredations almost daily. The report is very credible. The Governor is issuing orders for three thousand five hundred men, including the volunteers.— Consti tutionalist. MAJ. GEN. MONTGOMERY. A draft of 3,500 men having been ordered by the Governor, from the Militia of the Stale, to march to the defence of Florida and the Georgia fron tier, with the almost certainty, that another draft of equal number, will very shortly be made, as the preseut is only for half the number designed to bo raised, a most important question in the matter, and one which must deeply interest every one connected with these forces, or who feels an interest in their welfare, is, who shall command them I—Who docs not see how much, how very much, the safety and efficiency of these troops, their subordination, their success, their honor, & the honor of the State, must depend upon a judi- L cibus and fortunate selection of the man to fill % this deeply important and responsible station 1 This selection will of course be made by the Go t vernor, aad doubtless from tho various Major Go * ncrals of the State. We have no reason to pre judge this selection—not the slightest to doubt dip fairness, impartiality, and correctness of it, in cv«ry v respect; for it is but justice to Governor SchleV, to say, that we believe he has so far manifested a spirit of justice, impartiality, and conciliation, unsurpassed by any one of his nu merous predecessors, and in the highest degree creditable and honorable to him as the Chief Ma gistrate of the State—honorable and noble at all times, but particularly so at the present one, when (threatened as we are from numerous quar ters, without & within,) so much depends on the unity and harmony of the people, and tho general confidence of all parties in their chief Civil and Military officer. Wo trust, however, that we shall not be thought impertinent or intrusive, in making a suggestion, founded alone, God knows, •n no mete partial, personal, or political conside rations, but those briefly suggested above; and we speak the opinion, not only of all we have heard express themselves on the subject, but we believe of all wlmknow him, that Gen, Muntooxeutls admirably qualified for the com mand of such an expedition, He is peculiarly a military man has filled,wo Relieve, every military station, from the ranks, up If. his present one of General of Division—is a mart of known courage, firmness, decision, and chivalry of character, and of a person, mein, and deportment, decidedly mili tary and commanding, and admirably calculated to inspire confidence, and comnfcnd respect—and V has devoted more lime and zeal to the study ol military tactics, both theoretically and practically than probably any citizen of the State. He is, too Jflr we presume, one of the oldest Major-Generals ir tc State, if not the oldest of all—is situated in tin very heart of the section from which the draft is U be made; included, perhaps,within a lineextondinj from Elbert to Monroe, from thence to Savannah and from thence up the Savannah River to Elher —and is in the immediate vicinity of the U. S ’ Arsenal, where the troops must be equipped, am J probably mustered into the 1 nited States server and in frequent intercourse with the gallant am patriotic commanding officer of that station. Ta king all loose things into consideration, we can ~ not bllt fifing him peculiarly fitted for the com mand of this arduous and important enterprize, £ and feel assured, from What we have repeatedly hoard on this subject, that the appointment o 1 S him would bo received by the public, and the J - troo l lß particularly, with the most enthusiastic ap probation. 10 1. „ ~ > departure of the volunteers, i, 11 afiords us pleasure, under an exceeding press ~ °f time and business, to avail ourselves of the I’ following excellent description, from the Consti is iutionalist, of the enthusiastic and exciting scene d of .Saturday—the most impressive one we have b ever witnessed in this city, since the memorable landing of Lafayette—and in some respects, (founded on the patting of individuals, hound to f gether by the various ties of kindred, even tho " most tender and endearing.) a peculiarly affecting j one. Yet, even tho wives, and mothers, and sis . tors of the gallant, generous youths, who thus no -1 hly devoted themselves to the defence pf their country, forgot not the ties of that country, under ~ those of kindred, and struggled to smile encour . agement through tho tear that started from rtiany I a bright eye, and was shaken aside ere it could ' intrude itself to observation on the cheek. The |- finest spirits were manifested by the volunteers, . who in their patriotic enthusiasm, thought and , felt not of the privations and dangers of their new career, as did those they left behind, and laughed ' at the frequent earnest and anxious propositions made upon the spot of embarkation, and pre i viously during the day, to lake the places, and buckle on the knapsacks, of any who were wil ling, or would con rent, to stay behind. Almost the entire population of the city and vicinity was crowded on the river bank aird tire bridge, between whom and the volunteers a salute of three cheers was exchanged again and again, till the latter were out of hearing ; while salutes of artillery were also repeatedly exchanged b-tvveen the Boat and the centre of the bridge, where Mr, Jons Siunp, with his accustomed patriotism and public-spirit, had hastily stationed and mounted two of Mr. Shultz's six-pounders, generously loaned to him for the occasion. And, ns though tho very heavens purposely smiled on that occa sion, as an omen of approbation and encourage ment, both to those who departed, and their kin dred and friends who remained, the sun, which had been long obscured, suddenly broke forth in , afi its splendor, and tho heavy rains of several , days as suddenly ceased, presenting one of the most cheering and beautiful days wo ever Wit nessed, —a circumstance again and again allu ded to by those kindred ami fiends, as though it spoke consolation, hope, and peace to their hearts. And who shall doubt that it was so designed 7 who limit the' boundless parental kindness and affection, or infinite means, of Him, who cannot but ever sympathize with those who faithfully pul their trust in Him, and fe arlessiy do their duty. 41 Never, (says the Constitutionalist) in the course of our editorial career, were we called- on to record such an imposing and gratifying scene to the patriot, as the one which took place on Sa turday last. That will boa proud day for the city of Augusta. Tho pathetic feeling manifested by our citizens, the zeal and liberality displayed for the organization of a volunteer corps, and the exultation as well as devotion exhibited by the patriotic band who arc now on their way to Flo rida, will bo long remembered by those who were actors in, and spectators of, the proceedings o' Saturday, the 23J of January, 1836. Wc have not tho ability to give tho incidents of the day, with that vividness of language which they de serve, and would so well suit the occasion; wc can record them only in a plain style. On Saturday morning tho volunteers assembled in front of the Mclhodist chapel, completely arm ed and equipt for starting. They were inspected by Col. Lindsay, of the United States Army, • who, after inspection delivered to them the ad dress which will he found below. This address was received with enthusiasm. It could not have ' been received otherwise, being patriotic, and re markably appropriate to the occasion, and it will i certainly be read by those who did noi hoar it, • with admiration, and the warmest feelings for the - gallant officer who delivered it. After the ad . dress, the volunteers were dismissed, to meet again at 2 o’clock. At 2 o’clock, the volunteers , assembled again,, as well as the two Companies lately formed by our citizens, and the Richmond r Hussars. At 3 o’clock, they all started for the ' I wharf, where the steamboat, George Washington,' I was lying to receive the volunteers. TheNapo-i > Icon band of music, now in our city, offered their | t services, which were accepted; and they escorted , tho troops to tho wharf. When the procession ar- ■ . rived on tho wharf, the volunteers immediately p embarked on hoard lira Steamboat, where Col. \ Lindsay and his suite were waiting to witness > the embarkation. Before the boat left tho wharf, s Col. Gumming, by invitation, addressed tho vol i- unteers with feeling and eloquence; the ad a dross was received with acclamations by the vol y unteers; it wifi tie found below. Afterwards a f prayer from the Chaplain of the Arsenal, wasde i, livered, asking tho bossings of God on the arms J of the volunteers, who were going to defend the i- lives of their fellow citizens of Florida, and to ar d rest conflagration and massacre. After the pray d cr, the boat started, amid the blessings, and good rs wishes fur the safe return oftho volunteers, of bun y, dreds of our fellow citizens and ladies who were o, spectators of this interesting scene. Many tears n were shed ;it cuutd net he otherwise. Mauyvol io unteers have left behind them their business, pro to fitablc employments, and what is still mere dear to ‘g them, their wives and children, to fight the battle ’ of tbeir country. A fie, tl le departure of the steam l ’° a, ’' vlth tl,e volunteers all onboard, the tw, ■ latuly formc ‘ l companies, anil tho Hussars, return ,d i cJ t 0 lhe city and were dismissed. Thus his Augusta done her duty in this cmc. id' gency. Every one of our citizens vied with each a- j other in assisting to forward the expedition, and i-1 in providing for the comfort of the volunteers dn i-; ring their passage to Florida. Our City Council e, have acted nobly; they deserve the thanks of tho v | State, and in fact of the whole country. Some of jf our monied institutions, deserve also the warmest ie thanks, for their liberal contributions. The fact j. is, every citizen has done his duly on this occa sion. The ladies also merit tho warmest thanks, who, we hope, will be rewarded, by the safe re i, turn of husbands, brothers, friends and aequaint a ances, from tho campaign. If we were to believe e in omens, we would be inclined to believe that the Augusta Volunteers, will return safe, after e I having performed their duly with honor and cre e 1 dit to themselves, and signal benefit to tho coun e try ; they having taken their passage on board #J of a boat which beats the venerated, lofty, and endeared name of George Washington.” e— . g Acscsti, Geo. Jan. 23d, 1836. SPECIAL ORDERS. In mustering you into the service of the Uni ted States, I have performed one of the proudest duties of my military life. Permit me to say 4 that the spectacle which you exhibit, is refresh ing to the mind of the patriot, and exalting to the ? human character. At tho call of your country, * you have relinquished your individual pursuits, : whether of interest, or fame, or duty, and offor ’ cd up at the shrine of bet safety and honor, your * lives and your devoted services. Many of you have broken asunder lhe tenderest and most cn * dearing ties of human affection—many of you have sacrificed the just rewards of honorable pro fessional exertions, upon which even the friends * from whom you will part, have relied ; and all of you will exchange the comforts and the luxuries of home for the rough fare of a camp, and the ar duous and unsparing duties of the Soldier. And ' upon what occasion have you made this tender of * of your services 1 Nut to form the glittering pa ' geant of a civic festive', or to swell the pump of a f military parade; but to rescue a smoking and dc- I solate frontier from the tomahawk and scalping ■ knife of the ruthless savage ! to fly to tho suc ' cour of the bravo, who ate hemmed in and sore I I beset; and to save from massacre and bulhery ' | the helpless lemale and infant, who, equally with i the warrior in arms, are cut down by the bloody • foe you are to meet. When I look at the high ■ and exalted feelings which have prompted you to - this act, nobly do I say you have redeemed the i pledge given by your revolutionary forefathers, r and proudly do I proclaim, that the roll of the I Augusta Volunteers is added to the deathless and • imperishable list of the brave. Yes, tho prayers -of the good and virtuous, will ascend for your wel ■ fare ami your safely ; the blessings of the patriot I will alight upon your noble and hardy enterprise; and above all, the consciousness in your own bo . som-i, that you arc performing art act of generous and heroic self-devotion, at the call of your coun try, will sustain you in the high path of duty which you have chosen. Having said thus much, it becomes my imperative duty to remind you of tho necessity of subordination and implicit sub mission lo the command of your superiors. All and each of you must forgot that you were the , equals of yesterday. If obedience lo the com mand of a superior bo exacted by tiro mechanism of a regular organization, how much more is it called for as a sacred and preremplory duly from Volunteers, who have had tho choice of their of fleers, and who have chosen them for the very qualities which would secure excellence in the station of command. Remember, that in obeying your superior, you arc not obeying him as an in dividual, but as the organ of that law which ar , ranges each of you in your respective stations, ■ and expects of each of you, your respective du ■ tics; and let not this feeling be confined to the in dividual whom you have so judiciously and hon orably chosen as your leader, bullet it extend lo . all his subalterns, and to the Sergeants and Cor t porals of tho command.—With the high impulses , which have urged you to offer your services on ■ this occasion, tempered by that exalted discipline i which becomes the Patriot Soldier, I entertain a i sanguine conviction that the Stars and Stripes of ■ your country, which have waved over many a I field of victory, will be safely commjlted lo tho , charge of ;he Volunteers of Augusta. WM. LINDS AY. Col. 2d Arl’y. '■ Address r»5 Col. William Gumming. ■ Gentlemen Volunteers lam invited, as one I I formerly engaged in a service similar to your own, 1 1 to oiler you some suggestions of advice, on this occasion, so full of interest. They will be few, for few can bo needed by men like yourselves. Indeed, partaking the universal feeling of this ; community, far rather would I tender you priascs I than counsel. Permit me, however, with rcs ■j pcclful friendship, to direct your attention to one point, which is sometimes undervalued in the fer ■, vor of youth, though a matter of the highest and t most solemn importance—l refer to military dis . cipline.—Your noble aim in efficiently to serve ■ your country, and to achieve glory for youisclvcs. • In the pursuance of those objects, whatever may ■ be your individual prowess, you can only be sue -1 ’ ecssful as a corps—as a corps, you can only bc ■ come eff 'Clive, by strict obedience to your officers. • Subordination is the basis of discipline, without '■, which, tile largest assemblage of men is a mere ■ rabble, easily repelled by tho most insignificant • enemy ; while a similar body, animated ami gui lided by the spirit of order, acquires gigantic, irre sistible force. Discipline, discipline is your e j strength, your safely, your glory. Without it, s you cart never triumph. But you will maintain 1. it—you will triumph 1 Go, then, generous, gal- V lant volunteers ! Your country men are bleeding 10 under the hand of the ruffian Seminole; a whole | c territory is menaced with devastation, by the most barbarous of foes. March to the rescue!

Since this letter was mailed, th :- number of the corps has been increased from 3 c to 45 members; and many mote are still ex t pcctcd to join it.

R. 11. FROM KEY WEST. By tho schr. Laura, Capt Wai.kf.ii, from Key West, we are indebted to our attentive correspon dent for the fallowing important information : Indian Massacres in South Florida, Indian Key, 14th Jan., 1836. We arc in a slate of consternation and dismay. The Indians have broke in upon the settlements at New River and Cape Florida, and plundered, destroyed and laid waste every thing that came in their way. We have been expecting an attack here for the last ten days, and have made the best preparation that wo could to receive the enemy— by throwing up breast works which will protect us so long as wa can prevent them from landing— hut our feeble force will be nothing if they suc ceed in effecting a landing. Wearenearly worn out and exhausted from having been compelled to keep watch every night. The Indians have collected a considerable force at Capo Sable and New River, and it is at these two points that they intend to make a stand. On the 6th instant they commenced their hostilities upon the family ofMr. William Cooly,an old and respectable inhabitant of this County at New Ri ver. Mr. C. was from homo : they murdered his wife, 3 children, and a Mr. Joseph Flintori, a Teacher in the family, in a most burbatous man ner. Shot several Hogs, plundered his bouse and burnt itdown, too i all his Horses and two ne gro slaves, as is supposed, they not having been found among the slain. A hipaniarii by tho name ol Emanuel is al-o missing. On Mr, Cooley’s return home he found his wifeund children, together with Mr. Flmton, all murdered, and lying near where his house for merly stood. Fortunately for the other inhabi tants, a man happened to he in sight of Cooley’s house, and saw the dead bodies and the Indians engaged at the work of plunder; he gave intelli gence of the facts, and every man, woman and child was compelled to abandon their homes and fly for tbeir lives, being in expectation every mo. ment that they would be overtaken and massacred. Among the sufferers were Mrs. Rigby, her two daughters and one son. They were compelled lo run 12 mil s through the woods, and when they reached Cape Florida they had scarcely any clothes on their backs (they having been torn off by tho bushes) and no shoes. So completely were they exhausted that they could not walk for several days. All of those who were compelled to fly from the main land look refuge at Cape Florida light, Key Biscaync, being abotrt sixty in number. Here it was proposed lo make a stand—and these individuals accompanied by Mr. Dubose the kee per of the light, retreated into lire Light House for safety. But not having a sufficient supply of provisions aigl water for no many persons, they were compelled to remove. Fortunately a vessel hove in sight—they hoisted signals of distress and she look (hern oft and brought them to this place on the 10th inst. The Light at Cape Florida is therefore of necessity abandoned for the pre-enf ith By a boat which passed the Capo a day or two | afterwards, wo loam that the Indians were there in considerable numbers, and also that (hey had plundered every house on New River, pt- the inhabitants of the Keys hove quit and rv to Key West, as well as those who come to 3 7'* P ,BCC the Capo, and wo are left almost or, alone to contend against the savaq* f, ;e . Truly ar- the scene is distressing, and the prospect alarm ir. "’S* There is a large body of Indians at Cape tSahle, a little hack from the sea shore, a distance 18 of not more than 30 miles final ns, and from the he well known fact that this Island has but few in -33 habitants, and that much plunder is to he had I j. anticipate that ft will ho the next place attacked, it. j! ‘ 9 of im P'' r ‘a r «ee that Troops should be sent - to Cape Sable and New River, as it will cut off 111 the supply of arrow root, which is the principal «1 J'"" 1 of ‘he Indiana, and which is manufactured at "y their women. These places abound in that article, and it is said that they can cross the Ever j Glades from Capo Sable to Now River, in a day. ’ Vou can form no adequate idea of the distress al which prevails along the coast. Several families le have but recently settled, and had just got them* »elves comfortably situated when they were ohli god to fly for their lives, leaving every thing they h possessed in the world belling tlißtn, and arriving i- almost naked at a place of safety, What is to be; I ). come of so many distressed families I know not. Can nothing bo done for their relief? They have '• gone lo Key West for safety. The Troops sta tioned at Key West were sent to Tampa Bay, but c I understand that the U. S. frigate Constellation is now at that place for the protection of the in -0 habitant*. )f The Scmlnolou, who are opposed to emigration, have expressed their determination to mr. before they leave the country. So that we may antici pate a fieiee and determined resistance, in any ef fort made to subdue them. txnux Kf.t, Jan; 17,1830. The most distressing state of things now exists ; s throughout this roust that I over knew in any place, from the fear and awful dread of being mas sacred by the Indians. They have broke in up -0 on the upper settlements, murdered, plundered Jt and laid waste every thing that came in their \v«v ; j and unless something is done to slop their pro gress. hy sending Troops to this place, Cope Sable and New River, much more mischief will yet he done. They have collected to Capo Sable and New River, and at those two places they intend to make a stand, and I am much afraid vve shall have an attack very soon, and expect every scttle ’* merit will he destroyed on the Frontiers, It be hoves every citizen to do something, if it is only to suggest the importance of sending force to our relief, hy placing them to t hosed i fife rent points, ifc you can have much influence in accomplishing this object. Do what you can, end you will, I trust, he rewarded. Volunteer* for Florida. —Meetings of the dif ferent companies of the 4th Brigade were held on Thursday evening Inst, for the purpose of placing before them tire proposition of volunteering lo pro ceed to Florida, to aid in protecting the defence less inhabitants of that Territory from Indian bar barity. From what we,could ascertain yesterday morning, it appeared to us, that the subject had not been sufficiently digested, and arranged, and that a lukewarmness existed which lather sur prised u«; hut in the course of the day, a differ ent spirit was evinced, and we feel gratified to have it in our power to say that nearly one hun dred patriotic gen'lemen have already enrolled their names, and we hope, and have reason to be lieve, that nearly as many more names will he ad ded to the list this day To th sc who feel that Charleston should not he behind hand on this mo mentous occasion, we say look nt the prompt manner in which the citizens of Augusta have met the emergency. That little city has furnish ing one hundred and six volunteers; "and her * Council has generously opened her cetTers. and . liberally made an appropriation for their equip ment and support. We are informed that there were a number of instances of individual liberali- - ■ ty which wc would pleased Is see emulated .here. ! An officer of one of the Ranks, held a commission in the volunteer company, and was informed that 1 his duties would be attended to, and his salary con- ] tinned, during his absence ; another young man * held a clerkship in an important house, whose scr ' vices for the time being were dispensed with, his 1 salary continued, and the place kept open for him ! ‘ on his return. This spirited conduct had the pro per effect, and the whole populace became zea lous in the cause.— Charleston Courier. - The Indian Chief Powell. —The character of i . this chief is hut little known and not sufficiently appreciated. He is represented lo be a savage of great tact, energy of character, ami hold daring. The skill with which he has lor a long time man aged to frustrate the measures of our government * for the removal of the Indians beyond the Missis -1 sippi, entitle him to lie superior to Dlack Hawk. ’ Charley OmHthla, a chief of the friendly party, in -1 lerposed difficulties to the execution of his plans, * ‘ and he at once shot. him.
