their comrades, of whose salety they had
become apprehensive. They had pro
ceeded but a short distance down a small
rivulet, when they suddenly came on a
large body oflutfians, who pursued them
in canoes. Finding they would be overta
ken, the party made for the shore—the
enemy approached and the conflict com
menced—“ long time in even scales the
Wttle hung”—but the savages, though
jive times their number, were at length re.
pulsed, and our adventurous countrymen
tiroieeded on. Being again pursued, their
canoe unfortunately upset in a second at

ammunition was lost. I ho little that re

letter from the commissioner of the reve

ance of persons, hanging on steel or iron
springs:
« Speaking with precision, there can
be no spring without elasticity, which it is
ulledged iron never possesses. As, how
ever, the act laying duties ou carnages
expressly contemplates the existence ot
iron springs, if there aro carriages httng-
ingoti any iron substance commonly called
an iron spring, I uni of opinion that it
shall be considered us an iron spring under

REAR-QUARTERS,
6th and 7th Military Districts,
Adjutant General’s office
Milledgeville, 28th February, 1814
General Orders.
It has been justly observed in tjie Na
tional Intelligencer, that the intrepidity
of the brave free men of the .South and
“West has not hitherto received [from our
tiorthern brethren,] the praise to which
it is entitled. We have before said and
v e again repeat, that the bravery of the
Georgia and Tennessee militia has been,
In many instances, most conspicuous—and
that acts of heroism have been performed
by individuals amoug them, not surpassed
by any in tlie annals of authentic history.
The meed of praise is eminently due to
many of ihe excellent officers under Ge
neral Flovd, who, though fearless ofdau
ger, had the good fortune to escape un
hurt; To the memory of some who have
fallen, however revered by their compa
triots in arms, adequate honors have
..ft been paid by tne public—Among
these, Capt. Samuel Butts, who was mor
tally wounded in the last battle, is parti
cularly worthy of our attention—While
the shafts of death flew thick around him,
lie remained cool and intrepid, inspiring
confidence in others by his firmness—at
length be was shot through the body—
bis heroic spirit, tho’ in the agonies ot
death, remained unshaken—calling tor
bis pistols and placing them by his side
he observed, they would enable him to
dispatch two of the enemy should they ap
proach near enough. After the Indians
bad fled, he enquired what loss they had
sustained, and expressed great satifacti-
on at the result of the action. He stir-
yived only 2* hoars, and must unquesti
onably have suffered excruciating pain
vet, he never uttered a groan or com
plaint of any kind! I his is a fact, attest
«d by all who saw him.
Thus died Capt. Butt*, one of the
bravest of men—his eouduct as a citizen
and soldier wa* equally laudable. Like
Lawrence and Pike he is lost to Ins c*un
•ry—like them his inemoiy will be re
<vcred by posterity—and his example in
spire in his countrymen n glow of patno-
x(p trdor.

The Pay Master of the 6th District
will, from the returns with which he has
been furnished by t he Ad jutant General
form estimates of the sinus respective
Iv due to the Regiments and Corps of
the detachment of the State Trorps of
Georgia m the service of the United
States, commanded by Brigadier General
Floyd. If from these estimates he should
find that the funds nowin his hands are
not sufficient to discharge the whole a-
mount dae, he will appropriate what he
has, in the first instance, to the discharge
of pay, next of the officers’subsistence
and last of their forage, and will pay
over to the Pay Masters of the different
corps the proportion of the funds respec
lively due to them, together with a eer
tificatc in the nature of a due bill, si a
ting the amount due to each corps, which
due bill he will discharge from the first
money destined to this purnose, which
lie shall receive from the Pay Muster
General of the army. Brigadier General
Floyd will direct the Regimental Pay
Masters to distribute the funds receiver
& furnish to the individuals of the army
certificates of the balances respectively
due to them in such mode as in his opin
ion may best coincide with the convent
enee and interest of the parties.
To this his last order, the General
with pleasure adds his thanks to Br.ga
dier General Floyd, aud to the officers
anil soldiers uf hi* detachment, for the
credit resulting to the Southern army from
their patriotism undar severe privations,
and their gallantry in action; on return
ing home, they will find their families,
their friends and neighbors enjoyiug
tranquility and comfort ; they will be
conscious that it is owing in a great mea
sure to their exertions that these blessings
have not been exchanged for all the hor
rors of savage depredation : and in fu
ture tlie various incidents of the Indian
expedition w ill form a part of their hap
piest recollections. It is the General’s
sincere wish that they may longcontinue
to enjoy the heartfelt satisfaction of bav
in.- deserved well of their country.

In the event nf the Pay Masters’ funds
being found insufficient to meet all claims
the General would recommend to the off
eera to wave their’s in favor of the pri
votes, until additional remittances can b<
sent on by ihe government. It is believed
that the delay will he but a few days or
weeks, and that officers can with more
