ST. MARYS.
The Commander of the Right Wing
of the Army of Florida, ami Hero ol
WithlaCoochce, arrival at the above place,
on Tuesday, the 17th ult., in the steamer
Cherokee. He was escorted from Fort
Drane, K. F., by Major Cooper's Batta
lion of Georgia Volunteers. As soon as
the boat touched the Wharf, the Batta
lion commanded bv Capt. Merriwether,
of the Putnam Eencibles, (the senior
Captain,) was marched on shore, and hal
ted—the left flank resting on (he Wharf,
and the right extending to the Main street.
The ranks were opened, and faced in-
Watds. The General and Staff, accom
panied by Major Cooper and Stall’, pass
ed from the boat to the shore, through
the interval between the two lines, until
he reached the head of the Battalion.
Here the General halted for a moment,
to take leave of the Volunteers. This
he did in a feeling and dignified manner,
characteristic of ttie General, in the fol
lowing words:
“ Gentlemen of the Georgia Battalion:
“Permit me to tender to you,” my
warm and sincere acknowledgements, for
this additional mark of your kindness and
attention.
“ Y r ou have performed the various du
ties incident on an arduous and fatiguing
campaign, in a manner that has conferred
honor yourselves, and on your native
State. May you, on your return to the
bosom of your families, meet the reward
due to our gallant services.
“Ibid you again faiewell: and may
heaven bless and protect you !”
To which Major COOPER, on behalf
of himself and his men, and made the fol -
lowing reply:
“ General Clinch ;’
“ Sir; —Feelings of the strongest char
acter forbid mo leaving you on the pre
sent occasion, without, signifying to you
the respect & regard entertained fur you
by my Battalion.
“ From our first introduction to you,
as our Commander, we have cherished
none other than sentiments of high re
spect.—Our increased acquaintance has
only served to ripen these sentiments to
feelings of esteem and affection for you,
both as a man and a General. At this
short moment of parting, I will not de
tain you from the long-desired enjoyment
of your home, (for which likewise you
are well qualified,) farther thanto express
what is contained in the significant, words
of an affection tie adieu I Be assured,
Sir, that the present alfords to us the
only moment of regret that has transpir
ed, during the campaign just closing. I
feel authorized to say, this is the senti
ment of not only the mass, but of every
man of the Georgia Battalion. We bid
you a heartfelt adieu!”
The General thence proceeded, to the
residence of Mr. ——. Here he was re
ceived by Capt. Holland and his corps
os Volunteers in rich uniform, with a sa
lute of musketry. He was then invited
by the Captain, and escorted by him and
_ his company, to the residence of the Cap
tain, to partake of Ins hospitality. The
good cheer was at (he same time exten
ded to Major Cooper and liis Battalion,
under the same escort. This was cheer
fully accepted by (he Battalion, whilst
the boat was taking in wood. ' To them it
was the kindly greeting of their neighbor,
on first touching the soil of Georgia, after
three months spent in an enemy’s coun
try—the habitation of the savage—barren
of supplies.
The General, it is understood, will re
main for a season in (he vicinity of St.
M arys, devoted to his private and social
duties, in the enjoyment of the society ol
his children.

FROM ST. AUGUSTINE.
We received the St. Augustine Herald
of Saturday last, brought by the Schoo
ner Samuel S. Mills, Capt. Southwick,
arrived here yesterday afternoon.
General Clinch, recently appointed
to the command of the Army of Florida,
was daily expected to arrive in St. Au
gustine.
A Company of Mounted Volunteers
had arrived at St. Augustine under the
command of Capt. Curry. They were
mustered into the service for six months.
They will be engaged in scouring the
country about (he vicinity of Mandarin.
Capt. Southwick states, that Cap
tain Dummitt’s Company of Mounted
Volunteers, which had been dispatched
from St. Augustine on a scoutingexpedi
tion to the South, had returned. They
had fallen in with a large Indian trail a.
bout 20 miles from St. Augustine. The
Indians had captured a considerable num
ber of Cattle, and had taken up Pattesar
bridge after crossing it.
Extract of a letter dated
“Sr. Augustine, June 11.
“ News came in last night that Major
Heileman had defeated a body of about
150 Indians, near Micanopy. The In
dians commenced firing on him about 800
yards distance, 11. sallied out of his en
trenchments in three divisions passing to
the right and left of the Indians, while
Maj or If was in the centre, playing upon
them with his field piece—they fought
one hour and a half and Major H. had 4
men wounded, but none killed. The In
dians had a great any killed—Major
11. could not say how many when the ex
press left. General Eusns has ordered
all the force from here to assist in follow
ing up the Indians. This shows what
men may do when worked up to the fight
ing point.”
From tht St. Augustine Herald.
Attack upon Micanopy by the Indians.
An Express arrived in town last night,
from Micanopy, with the intelligence
that that place had been attacked on the
Bth inst, by 154 to 200 Indians. The
attack took place at noon. Major Heile- |
man, who had just arrived there a few
hours previous, with a part of two com
panies, had sent an express to Oakland,
(M’lntosh’s) who shortly afterwards re
turned, statinggthat he had seen a large
number of Indians on the road advanc
ing on towards Micanopy. Soon after
they came up, and commenced firing at
the Fort a long distance off. Major Hei-
Icman, with a part of Captain Landrum’s
and Captain Dranc’s Companies, with a
piece of artillery, and a few dragoons,
amounting in all to about 75 men, sallied
out, and attacked them in front with the
g-JLL LL-.™ 'J LIE* X .
other troops, and succeeded in beating
them off, after an action of an hour and e
half. The loss on our side,(five wounded ;
among the latter one fficer (Lieut. Lee.)
The Indians succeeded in carrying off
their ilead and wounded so that they
could not be ascertained. The above are
all the particulars we have been able to
procure, An express is hourly expected I
from Micanopy, which will bring some
farther information from that quarter.
The post at Oakland has been ordered to
be abandoned immediately.
Capt. Gimmick’s and Lieut. Irwin’s
Companies have been ordered to Fort
Drane, from this post. The former star
ted at 3 o’clock. The latter has been
engaged in securing the country between
this and Picolata during the past week,
and will join Capt. Dimmick, at Picolata,
and botli proceed on to Fort Drane im
mediately.

CREEK WAR.
The escort which accompanied Gen.
Jessup to Tuskegee, returned on Satur
day last. It was an expedition full of
danger, in as much ns the gallant bind
passed immediately though the thickest
of the hosiiles. In another column, if
will be seen that Gen. Jessup has done
merited justice, ih his general order, to
the firm and fearless conduct of the offi
cers and men whoilinched not, but faced
(lie reported danger with a courage us
undaunted as his own.
On Thursday last, a detachment con
sisting of the Fauclie Volunteers from
Greene, and the Independent Artillery
of this place, under command ol Capt.
W, C. Dawson, was ordered to make, a
cruise up and down the river, on board
the steamboat Metamora, for the purpose
of preventing the Indians from crossing
to (he Georgia side. In a few hours Capt,
Dawson with his command went on board
the boat, and forthwith descended the
river. They had proceeded to the Uchee
Shoals, when the Indians commenced a
quick and rapid lire, from both sides of
the river, which was returned with spirit
by the detachment under Capt. I). No
injury was sustained on the part of the
whites, but from the balls penetrating
and in some instances passing through
the fortification, some of them must have
narrowly escaped. Five Indians and a
negro that was with them, were seen to
fall, and were supposed to have been kill
ed.
When (he firing commenced, Capt.
Dawson, we understand, ordered the boat
to round to, which at the moment was
impracticable, she being at the time run
ning down through the shoals. So soon
as the boat could be turned, it was done,
and she ascended the river slowly, when
the firing on both sides was renewed.
After this engagement, Capt. Dawson
continued hiscruisc down and landed, &
in conjunction with the forces stationed
at Fort Jones, buried the remains of those
brave men, belonging to Cauls. Garmony
and Ball’s companies, wholiad previous
ly fallen in their desperate engagement
with the Indians. Thy Metamora re
turned on Monday, bringing (he woun
ded belonging to the Gwinnett company.
It is unnecessary for us to say any thing
in favor of the officers and soldiers be
longing to this expedition. Weallknow
Dr. Iloxey’s artillery men, anil if Daw
. son’s body wont fight, they will do ve
ry well io fool the world with. The
Metamora left yesterday on an expedi
tion.
One of the most serious and desperate
engagements (hat has happened since I lie
commencement of the present war, took
place about three miles above Fort Jones.
. on Thursday last. About forty of the
Gwinnett cavalry, under Capt. Garmony,
were stationed at the house of Mr. Shep
herd, (he balance of the company hav
ing been detailed for some other service.
Capt. G. in the forenoon of that day, had
promised Col. Jernigan, who was then
out on a scouting party, to assist him, in
, case ho was attacked, At three o’clock
in the evening tiring was heard at a short
distance, which was supposed to be an
engagement between the afore mention
ed scouting party, and the Indians. Capt
Garmony immediately set oIV on foot
with liis forty men, who after proceeding
about half a mile, discovered several In
dians, who retreated towards a brunch to
their main body, consisting about 250.
The whites advanced and attacked them,
when a battle of more than Iru hours
• duration ensued. It was evident from
the movements of the enemy, that their
■ object was to out flank and surround the
j command of Capt. Garmony, who order
ed a retreat back to (he house. The In
dians pressed upon his men, keeping up
a constant fire, which was returned with
the desperate courage of those who were
determined to sell their lives as dear as
‘ possible. Nothing could have exceeded
the bravery of this little band, who though
compelled to retreat, disputed every inch
of ground, and sent many a lawney sa
vage (ohis last account. Capt. G. whose
name will be remembered for his intre
pid and dauntless conduct slew three of
liis merciless assailants, after he had re
treated to the house—one of them after
he himself had been shot down. His men
too, no less brave than himself, kept tip
a constant fire upon their pursuers, until
the arrival of a reinforcement of about
twenty men from Fort Jones, who char
ged the Indians and relieved for the time
the exhausted troops that had fought the
first hard bittle. This reinforcement be
ing however too small to contend with
the overwhelming force of the enemy,
were compelled to retreat after lighting
ten to one, for almost half an hour. In
these engagements some twenty-five or
thirty Indians are said to have been kill
ed. Those who have since visited the
battle ground,suppose from the sign that
was left, that the number slain was much
greater.
Whatever rumor may say of this fight, I
(here can be no question of one thing,
that every man engaged in it, did his du
ty, and fought with a courage rarely e
qualled and never surpassed by inexperi
enced soldiers. Gwinnett and Stewart
counties have a right to be proud of their
sons, who in the hour of (rial, have nobly
done, & nobly died. J. V’. Tate, James
If Holland, Wm. Simms, James M. Al
len, Robert r. Holland, JamesC. Martin,
Henry W. Pcden,and Isaac Lacv, of the
Gwinnett Cavalry were killed, ami Capt. 1
Garmony, Mr. Alexander, Mr. Huntand
Mr. Stepp were wounded. Os the rein
forcement from Fort Jones, Robert Bil
lups. David Delk Esq. Mr. Irwin & Mr. 1
Hunter, were killed.
The two volunteer companies under
Cants. Urquluert and Evans have been
ordered back from Fort Twiggs to this
place, and arrived on Saturday last.
From the Columbus Sentinel, 17 th inst.
A message, it is said, was recently
forwarded to Neah-Micco from General
I Woodward at Tuskegee, saying to him
{in substance that if he and his men were
friendly to come in to (he whites, or
otherwise he would be dealt with as hos
tile. That upon receiving the message
the old chief made an attempt to carry
his party as desired, but could not get
more than about three hundred to join
him, the remainder, (about five hundred.)
determined to fight. It is further said
that Neah-Micco finding his parly so
generally hostile, became apprehensive
for his personal safety, and finally slip
ped away from them during the night,
with a few friends, and made his escape
to Tuskegee, where lie is now with, in
j all, about one hundred of his people,
j Previous to Neah-Micco’s flight the lios
’ tile Indians killed Ids cattle and shewed
p other demonstrations to convince him
that Ids personal safety was incompati
ble with Ids remaining among them. The
rumors in regard to (he conduct of Neah
, Micco have been very contradictory (ns
, probable Ids course has been, as he is
quite an old man,) and we do not vouch
for the entire correctness of the above,
, though we can state that we have received
it from a source entiled to full credence.
About forty men and as many women
and children, who are friendly, from
Neali-Micco’s camp, have come in to
the friendly Indians encamped opposite
this city. Others have gone to Fort
Mitchell, and others, it is said, to Cham
bers county. They were obliged to go
off from (he hosiiles clandestinely, and
consequently in small squads without
concert of action.
Old Neah-Micco’s camp lias conse
quently been broke up, and the hostile
Indians are concentrating on (he Hatch -
■ achubec under Eneah-Mathla, supposed
now to be from one thousand to fifteen
hundred strong. They are no doubt pre
, paring either to give (he troops vigorous
battle when they are inarched against
| them, or make a demonstration upon this
, or some other place on the Chattahoochee.
The steamer Reindeer took her depar
( hire on Sunday morning, with theTwiggs
and Jones county troops on board. She
will go down as far as Irwinton. We
have not heard from her since her depar
ture.
The Metamora left again on Wednes
day, with Capt. Dawson’s company, a
part of Captain lloxev’s artillery compa
ny, and two companies of Col. Hardi
man’s regiment, who has been ordered
with his command to reinforce Gen. Lowe
on the Georgia side of the river below this
place. The balance of Col. Haidiinan’s
regiment departed on the same day from
this city by land.
The Alabama troops, it is said, refuse
to be mustered into the service of the
United Stales ; claim the Indian war as
an affair of their own, and are determin
ed to fight under the state banner. Eight
hundred troops, it is further said, have
. already entered the nation from Irwinton,
’ and otiiers are expected to leave shortly
, from Tuskegee, under the command of
Gen. Patterson.
As the Anna Calhoun, which arrived
, here on Wednesday morning, was pass
' ing the mouth of the Hatchechubbee or
High Long creek, a man from the Ala
bama shore informed them that the Ala
bama troops, under Gen. Moore, had a
general and severe engagement with the
Indians under Gneah-Marlhla that morn
ing, and (hat lie (the informant,) left
them still fighting. We give this as we
received it, without vouching for its au
thenticity. A few days will confirm or
dissipate the report.
Gov. Schley and Gen. Scott still
have their head-quarters in Columbus,
and Gen. Sanford has liis at Camp Geor
gia, where the Georgia troops are station
ed, three miles below Columbus on the
Alabama side.
Col. Williamson, of Newton, has
been elected Colonel of the 3d Regiment

observations to him, and remained but a

that he will be shot or hung. I have
heard it rumored here that our Govern

Santa Anna; if they are, they will be
defeated, for I am persuaded that the

from him loaded. A desperation was

LATE & IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.
By the packet ship Independence, Capt. Nye,
it will be perceived we have news of the highest
interest from England. The Irish Corporation
Bill has received such amendments in the Lords,
and concentrated the Corporation power so en
tirely in the hands of the Lord Lieutenant, that it
amounts to a rejection of the measure as it came
up from the Commons. This has placed the two
houses in direct collision with each other, and
threatens to carry matters to such extremes as
may possibly end in the renewal of the scenes
' of the protectorate under Cromwell, and then if
■ not the dissolution of the House of Lords and
the abolition of the peerage, the abrogation at
least of the laws of primogeniture.

in tlie defence of his country. A part of the
Crawford Troop (cavalry,) is here with us, and
the remainder will be here tonight. I have wrote
to tho commanding officer at Columbus for a re
inforcement; if he does not send it, it is likely
we shall have to quit our post. Wc are stationed
at tlie most dangerous post on the river, and ex
pect an attack every night; but if we are attack
ed we will give a good account of ourselves. I
have been well ever since I left home, except a
camp diarrhoea, which lias made almost every
man sick. I think wc shall be at home in four
or five weeks, as the Indians have already peti
tioned for peace.”
Extract of a letter from the Agent of the Wes
tern Stage line, to one of the proprietors in
this place, dated
Columbus, 9th June, 1836.
“Nothing now, except Van Ness and Adams
have returned from Broad’s trial. They were
enabled to prove that ho was with the hostile In
dians when our stages were taken tlie last time ;
and no doubt he was concerned in the first attack
—from the information wo get we all believe so.
He has been sent to Mobile to stand Ins trial.
Gen. Scott is very sick, and says we cannot have
any men to guard tlie Mail at present.
The Indian forces are getting stronger every
day, ami I am told that the Upper Creeks (wito
have been disposed to be friendly,) say, that if
the whites are determined to compel the Indians
to make immediate emigration they will find
themselves mistaken; for they will spiff their
blood before they will emigrate immediately.
The Indians have killed a few whites within tlie
last two days. Nothing has been heard from the
company that went to Tuskeegee with Gen. Jes
sup—they should have been here two days ago.
I think it will be at least eight days before the
Army will be ready to march, into the Nation;
the delay is for the want of arms and ammuni
tion.
Gen. Watson lias just come in town, after ma
king an attempt to go to bis plantation this mor
ning. He reports lie met a part of his negroes
making their escape from the Indians, who were
plundering his houses this morning. Some of
the negroes ware taken off by the Indians, others
wounded.
P- B.—An express has just arrived from Tus
keogee, staling that Gen. Jessup's company fired
on some Indians and supposed killed 4, and that
tlie Indians have assembled in a large force in
order to attack them on their return. They will
not return with a less number than 500. About
700 Indians are now in camp on the new road.
The whites had a fight with tho Indians at Talli
see on Sunday morning—-3 whites and 4 hostilcs
killed.”
Extract of a letter from a member of the Bibb
Cavalry, dated
"Columbus, June 11.
“Wc have just returned from an excursion to
Tuskeegee, called 45 miles from here—but, in
consequence of the bridges on the main route
having been destroyed by the Indians, we had to
travel full 60 miles. Out horses were generally
trom half to tutl speed, and sometimes complete
ly mired down. Iho route was a very danger
ous one—we however only came in contact with
one small parly of Indians—they were fired at by
five of our company and two killed.
There are now thousands of volunteers here,
and more continually arriving. lam confined
at camp, 8 miles from town, and have Utile op
portunity to hear what is going on.”
John Page has been elected a Senator of the
Umt»d States from the State of New Hampshire,
to fill tho vacancy occasioned by tho resignation
of Isaac Hill, and has arrived in this cilv, and
taken his seat.— Nat. Intel.
