THE CREEKS. i
But little of consequence, on the part i
of the hostile Creeks, (so far as we are \
apprised,) has occurred since our lasi i
publication. We received a day or so
back, by a couple of negroes, informa
tion that a gang of these rascals, headed
bv a voung hall breed, by the name of
Jim Henry, (who, it is said, had the
command at the burning of Roanoke,)
were aboiit 10 start for Florida, taking
with him about one hundred and fifty
negroes, ft large number of horses, mid
plunder of every description. Since the
report by the two negroes, we have
heard that it was confirmed by intelli
gence derived from the friendly spies at
Fort Mitchell. It was stated by this in
formation, that Jim Henry’s intention
was, to cross the Chattahoochee at Mr,
Boykin’* Ferry, proceed through the
country to Flint River, thence down it
to its junction with the Chattahoochee,
to the small bands of Indians who live
near (be fork of the two rivers—thence
by night, to pass over the country be
tween Tallahassee and St. Marks, to the
Seminoles: if be succeeds, farewell to
the negroes and other property. On
Monday last, a company was formed for
the purpose of intercepting this Jim
Henry and bis roguish band, and prevent
ing the loss of the negroes, &c. to their
unfortunate owners—but as it was late
in th e evening before they got ready to
start, and"a stormy night coming on, the
company, after proceeding but a short
distance, returned back as wet as drown
ed rats, and thus, with the cooling storm,
ended this promising expedition. No
other expedition has been put on foot to
overhaul this runaway gang, and as they
have no opposition, the coast being clear,
they are now on their way rejoicing, to
join their comrades, the blood-thirsting
Seminoles.
On Sunday night last, Gen. Woodard,
xvilh eleven friends and eight Indians,
arrived in our place, having ventured in
safety through the heart of the nation.
The party report nearly the same infor
mation concerning the dead bodies on the
road, and the burning of hotlses, stages,
dead horses, &c. that we have previously
given ; the bodies of the slain lying with
their clothes on, and in the position that
they fell in death. On Sunday morning
last, a company of citizen soldiers were
raised to rout (he Indians from Roanoke,
aided in the raising and equipment, by
the untiring efforts of our former fellow
citizen, Barkley Martin, Esq., who, al
though at the present time a citizen of
Cass county, and not hound to help ns,
has generously and fearlessly volunteer
ed his services, from (he very commence
ment of our difficulties, and has perform
ed as much hard service as any man
amongst us, and a great deal more than
many of the citizens of Columbus, Me
well deserves the thanks and grateful re
collection of our whole community. We
hope his example may he remembered, to
(lie lasting shame and disgrace of such of
the city gentlemen of Columbus, who
have, during this excitement, stood by;
idle spectators, or have cleared out to
parts unknown, while at the same time
owning their thousands of dollars worth
of property here. Suffering even stran
gers, who do not live among them, and
who own not onecent of (own properly, to
turn out in their behalf, and bravely ven
ture forth to drive the savage foe from
their very midst.
It is to he regretted, sincerely to he
regretted, dial such a state of things has
existed and still does exist. The rich—
yes, the rich—who have all to lose, have
been seen, and are yet to ho seen, parad
ing our streets, to all intents and purpo
ses perfectly unconcerned—while the
poor of the town and the volunteers, and
the generous friends of the adjoining coun
ties, who have left (heir families, and
their crops at this all-important season of
the year, for the purpose of helping us
defend our lives and property, are seen
to perform all the duties of the camp—
watching the city at night in floodsofrain
—exposing their lives, in guarding the
property ol these shameless dignitaries.
Thus it ever is; the rich who have the
power contrive to wheedle in with (lie
officers, and without the least compunc
tion of feeling, shift all the labor, and
risque, and danger, upon the shoulders of
the poorer class, who having nut the
means, consequently have not (ho power
to prevent it. What is worse, too, they
ore not permitted to resent it, or the
Callabous is their portion. But it is per
fectly useless to raise a voice against (his
shameful and disgraceful conduct. How
often do we hear it spoken of above board
in our streets? How often have theo/li
cers been reminded of it? But what does
it avail ? We hope if there is but one
thing done by the Governor, when he
comes out, it may be to compel every
man liable to do militia duty to b c filed
out of his ensconce, his snug abode am!
warm featherbed, and to take up lodg
ings in the rough and uncomfortable
camp, like some of the people have had
to do. Let justice he done between man
and man—-and if men have neither shame
nor patriotism about them, let such he
made to shoulder arms, right face, and
forward march, into—Camp.
The company commanded hv Mr.
Thomas Hoxey, on board the steam boa
Hyperion, proceeded to Roanoke, where
they were joined by Maj. Howard, with
b part of his command, and with about
400 volunteers from Sumter and Stew
art counties.—Finding the Indians wore
out and gone, the boat, with Major How
ard, proceeded on down the river to the
beautiful and rapidly growing town oflr
xvinton, to see how our friends were com
ing on down there. After remaining a
short time, and finding the boys pretty
well prepared to stand their ham!, (he
company returned home without a fight.
Thus ended this expedition. It was pro
posed at Roanoke and at Irwinton, (n
march into the enemy’s country and give
him battle; but not meeting with suffi
cient encouragement, (his proposed ex
pedition fell to the ground.
There is one thing connected with this
Indian war, which we do hope and trust
may he done—that is, so soon as these
hostile and murdering rascals are taken,
that they may be made to suffer in the
right way—their heads taken otf, as Gen.
Beall did the one who shot poor Bicker
staff*in Chambers county: at least, let
vengeance he visited upon such of the
Head Chiefs and principal fellows, who
have so savagely murdered our people,
and destroyed their property. Our voice
is at eternal war with any temporising
policy. Let justice, sheer justice, ho h
meted out to the ringleaders. If this is t
not done, why need we shoulder a gun or
unsheath a sword ? We, are well appris- '
ed of the intention of the Indians—they
think that as soon as they give up, they t
will be left unhurt in their persons, (by i
a kind of treaty) and thus escape that i
condign punishment, which (hey so rich- -
ly deserve ; hut we hope they may be i
mistaken for once, and that a sharp hut t
necessary example he made among them, I
which will stand as a kind warning how I
to behave themselves in future. (

LATEST FROM GOV. CLAY.
We have just conversed with a gentle
man direct Irom Montgomery, who arri
ved here on Wednesday evening. He
states that Gov. Clav had arrived at that
place, and made it ids head quarters, and
had determined upon the mo»t summary
and energetic measures against the hos
tile Indians. That for this purpose he
had ordered into immediate service three
thousand troops, and two thousand more
to hold themselves in readiness to march
whenever called on. The Commander
in Chief, (whose name lie could not re
collect, but was from the northern section
of (he Stale) would bring with him six
hundred ami forty Riflemen, and four
other Brigadiers, a like number of men.
The whole quota ns follows:
Commaililor-io-Chicf (mounted Rillemen) 010
Ihi Division (General's name not recollected) 040
2d or 3d Division, (do.) 040
4th Division (Gen. Moore) (HO
sth Division (Gen. Irwin) 040
He fin liter stated (hat (he greatest en
thusiasm prevailed among (he citizens
of Alabama to march immediately into
the nation and exterminate the savages
1 or compel (heir immediate emigration ;
, and that in a conversation with Gov. Clay
but a few moments before he left Mont
■ ginnery, (he Governor stated to him, (hat,
■ although he could not object to Gov.
1 Schley’s marching the forces of this State
■ into the Indian country, he would prefer
that he should throw them along the
southern frontier to prevent the Indians
from crossing (he Chattahoochee and es
caping to Florida, & he would sec to their
effectual subjugation or extermination in
Alabama. Four hundred men had already
marched from Montgomery to Taladcga.
Seven hundred men were at Irwinton
and more expected, and the place consi
dered perfectly secure. This is cheer
ing news from Alabama, and gives us a
good hope (hat Gov. Clay will redeem his
character, which has suffered not a little,
i at least here, from the charge of a want
energy in his measures against the In
dians.

FROM THE WITHLACOOCHEE.
The following letter was brought from
the Wlthlacoochee, by three men drawn
by lot from (he gallant little hand who
hold the post on that river.—lt is direc
ted to the late Maj. McLcmnrc who lead
them there hut resigned his command to
i Capt, Holloman and survived hut a few
days after arriving home.—He is in the
grave, or he would be among the first to
rush to the rescue of his companions in
arms. On the death of Capt. Holloman,
who fell strengthening (he defences of
his post, the command devolved on Lt.
Walker.—For six long weeks they have
been alone in (he widerncss, assailed by
more than a thousand warriors.—This is
the number reported by (he Indians
themselves, to have been employed in he
seiging the post. —Lt. Walker is as mo
dest as he is brave, and cautioned his
messengers against telling large stories.
—We are also inclined to the. belief that
the enemy has suffered more severely
than is represented in the letter.—From
(he. commencement of the siege, not a
shot has been fired unless at a particular
object, and as there are some of the best
shots in Jefferson county among them,
many must have been killed.—The In
dians confiding in their overwhelming
numbers, at first approached within point
blank rillc distance, but taught by (he
unerring aim of our men, (hey have lat
terly kept at a mere respectful distance.
—Baring the attack of the lath a chief
who had made himself conspicuous was
' brought down by a marksman.—Four or
live Indians sprang forward to his assis
tance, and all fell at one lire over his
prostrated body.
The Indians ascribing their own losses
and the invincible courage of our men to
witchcraft, fired silver bullets in accor
dance with a well known superstition
prevailing among them.—This circum
stance was attributed by our men to a
want of other kinds of ammunition, but
it is known that they have acquired lead
enough from (he various sugar houses
they have destroyed to last them inanv
years.—No wonder the savages thought
(his little baud in league with the devil
to bo able to withstand a force which foil
ed and defeated Gen. Scott.—-The bra
very displayed by (his little hand of he
roes, is as extraordinary as the cold hloo- 1
ded indifference which could thus aban
don them to their fate.
The hearers of this letter embarked at
II o’clock at night, in a canoe which had
been perforated during the siege with
rifle halls and, so leaky in consequence
11 1 at constant haling was required.—
They heard the Indians on both hanks of
the river frying to intercept them hut fa
vored bv the darkness (hey escaped the
thousand dangers which beset them and
arrived on the coast before dawn.—They
wore fired on near the mouth of the Su
wannee by a party in ambush, but were
too far out to receive any injury.—Their
appearance in town was hailed with the
most lively testimonials of interest—lt
seemed as though (hevhnd risen from the
dead, for a report had previously reached
here that Gen. Clinch had attempted to
relieve the post, but found the garrison
massacred.—The most prompt measures
were taken for their relief.—A volunteer
company has been raised in this and the i
adjoining counties to attempt this ardu
ous enterprise.—Col. Augustus Alston
commands the Leon volunteers. The I
expedition is commanded by Col. Read, i
and consists of eighty men.—They em
barked in n steamboat yesterday for the (
Witlilacoochee, from whence they will s
proceed in a fortified boat.—Whatever s
bravery and skill can accomplish will be \
performed.—God grant that (his effort to (
save these brave men from destruction s
may be crowned with success.—lt is an t
enterprise that would grace the best days
of chivalry.—lt is projected by the no-
blest motives, and is surrounded by a
thousand dangers.

the whole time since you left us, and
were attacked on the 12th April, at the
dawn of dav, by a large body of Indians
—since which time, wc have been sur
rounded by them, almost continually,

The hiss of the Indians, I think, is 13 or
20 killed. On the 15th April, we had an
engagement with 4 or 500 Indians, which
lasted two hours and forty-five minutes,
during which lime, they got possession
of our flat, which drifted down the river,
and was destroyed by them—So we have
no means of getting away from here, with

We are entirely out of every necessary

not when to look for relief, as the time
which you appointed has elapsed, by

our relief, till we have given it out. 1

wrote to you that he would come and get

The Hook Concern of the Methodist

The following are extracts of a letter
Irom one of the Delegates to the General
Conference ol the Methodist Episcopal
Church, now holding its session in Cin
cinnati, Ohio. and a member of (he Bal
timore Annual Conference of the said
Church, to a gentleman of this District
dated
“Cincinnati, May 13, 1836.
“ Yesterday, wc fixed the location of
the Book Concern at New York, by a
vote of {>4 to 37.
“ The battle on Abolitionism was de
cided (his afternoon. The result was
such as I had anticipated. The expres
sion of the Church is unequivocal. That
vnu may form some idea of the act of the
General Conference, I will give you (he
second resolution, which is the pith of
the matter. It reads as follow s :
“ Resolved by the Delegates of the
Annual Conference in General Confer
ence assembled. That we are entirely
opposed to modern Abolitionism, and
wholly disclaim any rijjht, wish, or in- 1
tention, to interfere with the civil and R
political relation of master and slave, as
it exists in the slaveholding States ot
this country.”
“ The question on (his resolution was
divided, and the first branch, which re
fers to Abolitionism, or Jhe part prece
ding the work ‘arid,’ was carried by a J
vote of 122 to 14. After which, the lat- j
ter part of the resolution was unanimous

' THE CREEKS.
Wo give the following statement from Tal
-1 lassoe, which may bo relied upon as correct:
■ Tu.lashkk, May 14, 1836.
On the morning of the 11th an Express ar
rived, informing us that the Saugahatchce and
kuchcchoga Indians were in arms, arid commit
ting depredations and murders; two men with
teams had been murdered about two miles from
Baugahatcheo creek, and the Indians were rapid
ly approaching this place. In a few hours all
the families in that vicinity arrived here; we
; called a meeting of citizens, appointed a eommit
f tee of vigilance, and sent Expresses in all direc
| ; lions for assistance. On receipt of this Intelli
gence, Hopothlo-Yoholo, Tuckahatchee, Sichee
* Colonels, Mad Blue, Chiefs of the Tuchabatchees,
' and Hatchee-Chubby Tom, repaired to this plaee,
i and immediately despatched runners to all the
- Friendly Indians, to collect their Warriors and
r meet here. We sent out a party of ten men to
reconnoitre, who returned with the intelligence
. that the Indians had broken open the houses
which had been deserted to within twelve miles
of this place, destroyed all the furniture, killed
the stock, and burned some of the buildings. As
I the scouts came in sight of the houses, they saw
. an Indian come out, mount his horse and flee ;
they pursued him as far as was prudent, and
j then returned. When they again reached the
houses, two srpiawa escaped from them, leaving
1 Iwo ponies laden with goods Urey had taken from
I the houses.
e On the morning of the 12th, we removed all
i t the females and children to the lower settlements.
(■ The men, about 80 in number, placed themselves
under Cnpt. Broadnax, of the Tallassce Guards,
who proclaimed Martial Law. The Indians be
-1 gan to collect on Friday. Wc received from 50
" to 60 volunteers from Welumpka. Early this
morning every man that could procure a horse,
together with the Tuckahatchee chiefs, and 300
warriors, mounted and on foot, started for the
scene of disturbances, and returned this evening,
with three prisoners, concerned in the murder of
, the teamsters, and taken in the act of firing on
our men. They would have been shot, hut for
hope that wc might obtain information from them.
* We have received from good authorily, intelli
gence that the Indians are corning down Ul’anbec
creek, murdering, burning and plundering all in
- their way. To-morrow morning wc intend tak
>f ing up our litre of march for these Indians, with
,j’ the determination to return conquerors or not at
v all.
All the Indians on the west side of the Talla
( poosa are our friends, iitul much credit is due the
3 above named chiefs, lor their prompt and valua
ble assistance.
r Several companies left here a few days since,
. destined for the scene of action. Wc have not
i heard from them since they left Line-crcek, hut
understand they are distilled for Fort Mitchell —
where, should they he able to meet the savages, in
any thing like an embodied form, we have every
1 confidence in believing wc shall hear a good ac
' count of them.

Pursuant to the orders of the Governor, the

i miles on the Volusia Road, without having dis- i
covered any fresh trails, A negro man who had
been taken a prisoner by the Indiana, made his 1
escape from them, and was found in the woods by

Grech antiquities in . i meric a. —A recent dis
covery seems to afford strong evidence that the
r soil of America was once trodden by one of Alex
ander’s subjects. A few years since there was
found near Montevideo, in South America, a stone, 1
with tiro following words in Greek written on it:— 1
“ During the reign of Alexander, the son of Phil- 1
ip. king of Maeedou, in the 63rd Olympiad, Pto- ’
. lerny”—the remainder of the inscription could not t
lie deciphered. This stone covered an excavation, *
which contained two very ancient swords, a hel- 1
met. a shield, and several earlhern amphora l of 1
laige capacity. On the handle of one of the 1
swords was the portrait of a man, and on the hel- 1
met there was sculptured work representing Achil-
les dragging the corpse of Hector round the walls '
of Troy.—This was a favorite picture among the I
Greeks. Probably this Ptolemy was over aken *
by- a storm in the Great ocean, as the ancients 8
termed the Atlantic, artd driven on the coast of ’
■South America. The silence of Greek writers in 0
relation to this event may easily bo accounted for, a
by supposing that in attempting to return to *'
Greece, ho «as lost, together with his crew, ami 0
thus no account of his discovery ever reached "
them. —United Service Journal. **
