Dinner to (lie Itnlilwiu Hussars.
The proceedings, toasts, &c. of the Dinner
given to the Baldwin llnssnrs. by the citizens of
Milledgeville, have hcon handed* to us forpuhli-
cation, but too late for this day’s paper. The
business of preparing them for the press, was
put in charge of a gentleman, w hose constant
professional engagements, rendered it impossi

from a dangerous if not a fatal wound; the hall

thigh, the bruise is considerable, blit will soon ho

ground, I determined at once to storm the cninp ;
tin* order to charge, with loaded guns, was obeyed
promptly, and thus commenced the most brilliant
and impetuous charge; the enemy made a feint ef
fort to rally, but a fire was opened upon them as we
went, which they could not near; they fled, leaving
all their plunder and a fine dinner behind them : the
traces of blood were considerable, but they left no
dead or wounded behind them. In the pursuit we
found parts of litters very bloody, upon which they
carried their dead or wounded. The swamp was a
complete covert to them, and they made good their
retreat. In pursuing them my men and officers
would mire in the mud, and the march after their
trail before the fight was so long and fatigueing. and
we were so much exhausted, we were, compelled to
desist, The battalion unanimously voted me the
present of a fine rifle, taken on the field loaded.
VVe took up the line of march for camp, and just as
night came on, made our escape from the most ex
tensive and dismal swamp I over saw. My officers
and men fought with great and unflinching firmness,
and all distinguished themselves, especially in the
execution of the order to charge. The Indians rais

means of ascertaining the strength of the Indians ;

were a hundred strong, hut I am of opinion that

The Elections.
The following which we copy from the Ra
leigh Register of the Bth instant, is all that wo
are able to give our readers this week in relation
to the elections in North Carolina. It augurs
well for the White cause.
“ The Election—Wo give nil the returns which
have come to hand. We do not say it for effect, but
because facts warrant the assertion, that the indica
tions thus far are of the most encouraging character
for the success of Whig principles. We cautioned
our renders, last work, that the first returns would
he unfavorable, hut they ary far less so than we an
ticipated. The Democratic county of Granville
gives us such ttii oflset against the party, that we al
most balance accounts, whore wo expected to fall
debt. The counties now heard
r 28 Van Buren members—this
ly elected 19- a gain to the Whigs
gain greasy exceeding our most
sanguine estimate. The Gubernatorial election
equally promising, and we feci almost as certain of
Dudi.ky's election, as if the fact was ascertained.’'
From the Montgomery (Ala.) Journal, tve
learn, thatout of 21 counties heard from there
is ii majority of 21 elected to the Legislature in
favor of Judge White.
The Tuscaloosa Intelligencer says, the results
ns far as heard from, are more favorable to the
White cause than was anticipated ; and adds,
“ wo feel very confident there will be a majori
ty in each branch of tho Legislature in favor of

tossed in the mud, evidently smothered for the same
purpose. The enemy were pursued until night
compelled our forces to desist. The next morning
(Saturday,July 90,) the whole foree entered the
swamp. This was no easy task. A large cane brake
was penetrated, creeks waded, and in one instance
•wain over by a portion of the meu, hammocks en
tered, and swamps thoroughly searched. The In
dians were driven from tho swamp, as we after
ward* discovered, but such was the rapidity of their
flight, that our men, being on foot, were unable to
overtake them. After pursuing them across the
main run of Itcheonochwee, they scattered in every
direction. Gen. Sanford led the detachment in per
son.
The country in the neighborhood was thoroughly
recounoitered i»n the next day. I omitted to state
that the detachment oil its return from Faircloth’s,
met with a portion of Maj. Alford's battalion that
had been ordered on from Fort McCrary.
The whole force, consisting of Capt. Jcrnigan’s
Stewart Rangers, Capt. Brown's Company, from
Muscogee, Capt. Boat wick's from Pulaski, (’antniii
Heutz’s from Baker, (who had joined ns at Fair-
cloth’s,) Cnpts. Delaparier, Kendrick, Sledge. Cal
houn, and Greer, of Muj. Alford's battalion, took up
the line of march for Cliii-kasabutcliee. On our ar
rival at Byron, information was brought to Gen.
Sanford, that a party of Indians had crossed Flint
River. Maj. Alford, with Capt. Greer’s company
was immediately despatched to overtake them.—
This report proved to be untrue, and the detach
ment was recalled. The next morning wo reached
Cainp Dennm-d, where wc found a part of Major
Hnxie’s battalion, and some of the citizens with Col.
Holmes at tlieir head,ready to penetrate the Chicku-
snhatchee. The two forces were united and proceed
ed about three miles to the swamp. Maj. Alford
was despatched with two of his companies to am-
husrndc the trail, where it was supposed the Indians
would attempt to esenpo, near the junction of tlio
Kiokee with the Cliiekasaliate.hee. The swamp
w as thoroughly scouted for u distance of 7 miles,
under the immediate command of Gen. Sanford—
He himself, with his Start*, and some 90 of the de
tachment of t>00 hundred which Imd entered the
swamp, having advanced across the Kiokee and rc-
r on littered the ground where Col. Beall fought the
Indians, two miles beyond where Maj. Aldfnrd was
posted. The remainder of the detachment came
out of the swamp near the Kiokee. It is worthy of
remark, that the swamp is so thick, the hammocks
so dense, that this small party psssed the left flunk
of the ambuscade, on their route down, having been
parted from the guide, and the right flank on tlmir
return hack, without discovering them, or being dis
covered. Ma j. Alford occupied an extent of ground
in a direct line across the trail, of one thousand yards
in length. I mention this to shew you the extreme
difficulty of pursuing the Indians thro’ the swamps.
Except in the open ponds, a person may pass with
in 20 yards of an Indian without being'able to see
him. and in the can brake, be may even tread on an
Indian’s robe before lie discovers the dangerous
proximity of an enemy. Scouting parties were con
stantly kept nut after this portion of the swamp hud
been thus completely scoured. One of them, un
der the command of Maj. Alford, came upon a party
of 90 or 40 Indians. The Indinus fired upon t lie in
at the distance of about 90 yards, and immediately
fled. Major Alford was slightly wounded in tl

There can he no question, but that the Indians

The trails on the Cliiekasaliatcbee lend up the creek;
parties have been seen passing through Stewart
county towards the river, and have been traced to

them and the swamps they hoped to reach to enable
them to get to Florida. Maj. Alford's head-quarters
is now at the head waters of Hpring Creek. Forces
are stationed about in various quarters of the coun
ty, ready to concentrate at a moment’s notice.
Gen. Sanford returned on the 9th iust. to Lump
kin, with Capt. Bo*t wick’s Pulaski Troop. On bis
wav up from the Cliiekasaliatcbee, when about 95
miles below Lumpkin, information was brought
him of four Indian women and five children having
come out of the swamp and delivered themselves
up. They were sent for and brought in for the pur
pose of being sent to Fort Mitchell. They state
they belonged to a party of about 90 warriors and as
many or more women and children—that they left
the band because they killed tlieir women und chil
dren. They \vere almost in a stale of starvation.
I have thus given you u brief recital of the events
occurring the last two weeks. Tho expedition has
be#n completely successful. As to the continuance
of the war, I hardly know wluit to think. One thing,
I think is certain, the Indians will hardly attempt to
escape to Florida again ill a hurry, the reception
they have met in the swnmpsof Georgia has proved
to them, there is no thicket that ctm hide them long,
and no hammock where the foot of the white ntnn

of the forces below.
Fort Gaines, Ga. July 27th, 1836.
Messrs. Editors—Supposing our friends in Colum
bus felt anxious to hear from us, I have thought
proper to give you the following statement, as to the
movements and ulterior destination of my Battalion.
After leaving Columbus, wenn ived at Fort McCra
ry and agreeably to orders of Maj. Gen. Hanford, I
directed all the companies stationed there, to march
immediately in pursuit of the Indians, pursuing the
route taken by Gen. Hanford, who commands the
expedition in person. The following companies
took up the line of march from Fort McCrary, at
day light this day, viz. Cnpts. Hendrick's, Calhoun’*,
Glovei’saml Bvne's.all mounted Troops. During
the night, l received an express from Gen. Sanford,
requiring, all the ammunition to lie scut forthw ith to
him, which was accordingly done, also an account
of a battle being fought by Maj. Jernigan, that ex
cellent partiznn officer, in a swamp sonic 8 or It)
miles below Lumpkin. Jernigan was successful in
routing the Indians, hut they rallied, and he was in
turn, compelled to retreat, with the loss of two men.
and 15 wounded. He has since, received

CREEK CAMPAIGN.
Cnrrtnftonthncr. of the Georgia Journal.
Lumfkin, August 10, 1834.
You have received information of the battle be
tween the Indians mid the Stewart Rangers, under
the command of Capt. Jernigan. The number of
the enemy amounted. I expect,to something like250.
Capt. Jernigan’* force was about 120. The nation
resulted in the complete defeat of the enemy. I was
upon the Wattle ground the morning after the battle,
when the troop* under Gen. Sanford, (who had
reached Capt. Jcrnignu's camp the evening before,
about four or five hours after the action,) proceeded
to drive the Itcheonochwee swamp from that point, j
Fifteen Indians were found dead on the field, the In-
sliniiM having retreated with so much precipitation,
that they did not return, as is tlieir custom, to bury
tlieir dead. Some of our men found some children
left in the deserted camp. Two were found alive,
4.116 dead. The fight took place just below the junc
tion of the Chetuibbe ii ftciieonochwee creeks. The
.position taken by the Indians was a very strong one.
iFor the details of the action I refer you to Capt.
Jernigan’* official report.
After satisfying himself tlmt no ludinns remained
iin that part or the swamp, (Jen. Sanford, with his
whole (force, commenced a rnjiid pursuit of the re
creating (Indians iu the direction of the Chickusn
hate.|iee. 4t was soon ascertained that they had
scattered iu small hands. A party of about 50 that-J
morning had plundered the house of u Mr. Poire loth,
distant ahoiitjg miles. This place we reached about
noon. Here information was brought to us that we
had passed the main body of the Indians, and were
then iu tlieir front; and that instead of flying across
the woods to the Chicknsnhntchce, they had chosen
the route down the main run of the Itcheonochwee.
AVe countermarched at mice, and took up our posi
tion on this creek, near the mouth of Wolf creek.
The next morning (Friday, July 29,) scouts were
.sent out below the junutinn of these creeks (« as
certain if the trail led in that direction; no signs
were found. In the afternoon n part of the force.
From the. Columbus Sentinel, of Aug, 5.
We have just heard, from a source entitled to
much credit, that tho Government has determin
ed to make arrangement (if possible) with the
friendly Indians, to enter the service of the Uni
ted States against the Semiuoles in the ap
proaching campaign. We learn that Col. Lane,
oue of Gen. Jessup’s aids, is at this time en
gaged iu bringing about this desirable object.—
This scheme seems to us to he a measure of
sound policy, particularly tvhen we reflect how
very serviceable the celebrated chief Jim Boy
and his command were to Gen. Jessup in fight
ing the Lower Creeks. The laurels which Gen.
Jesssup has taken himself from the achieve
ments of Jitn Boy atul his party, has in all pro-
| liability given birth to this tight fire scheme; and
as there will ho a rich harvest to he shared from
the Florida field, if he can get that command,
the General will not forget to avail himself a
second time of their powerful aid. It is iio
pleasant thiug to fight at any time or with any
sort of an enemy, iu any way or fashion, and if
a general cau get all tlte glory and honor, and
all the laurels, and all the consequences of a
heroe's feathers, by hcinglsinart enough to make
the frieudly Indians do his fighting for him
while he reposes iu safety at a respectful dis
tance, why in the name of all that’s daring; and
manly, and chivalrous, let him do so. Gen
Jessup is up to a tiling or two; nt least it is now
thought that the distinguished Hero of Lundy'
Laue would say lie was. If the Indiansconsen
to go they are to have all the spoils that they
cau get from the enemy, and thoir wives and
children are to remain in the Nation until thei
return. Verily Geu. Jessup is an old diplomat
ist, and a sincere well wisher to the best interest
of the Creek settlers and those of us who live
upon the frontier.
Blit we forbear, least the General should
pounce down upou us as he did upon a certain
Major General’s Aid not long since, and put ns
as the Aid said he put him, 44 iuto cottfusiou quite
amid amazement wild."

it was among one of the heat fought luitilea that has

punv from Troupco. (Kendrick being nt that time
on furlough,) t dent. Broddus from Jasper, was suc
cessful iu turning the right flank of the Indians,
and had it not been for the unfortunate orders given
some one, that they were out of ammunition and
ought to retreat. I believe they would have most sig-
*11 v defeated the savage foe, us it was. they took
uch of tlieir baggage and plunder from the Indiana,
i well as the rmes of those that were killed, and
brought off their own dead and wounded. I have

ment of’ the Columbus Independent Artillery, with

of Capt. Urquliurt. The balance of my Battalion,

II planned by Gen. onnfritrd, who will he
above Jernigan on the flanks, and my Battalion be
low, it appears to me, that it will be impossible for
the enemy to escupe. I believe our boys will be at

nd expedition to the swamps in Buker, should
we fail, it would be mortifying indeed.—From tho

arrival the American Consul nt that place had as
certained that the Light House nt Cape Florida, was
burned bv the Indians, a notice of which he pub

the Capt. of the Whale, that a negro was killed nt

made it most miraculous escape by ascending the
Light House and holding on the Lightning rod

The exhibitions of the two classes were highly
creditable to tlieir members audio tho institution
with which they were connected. We are hap

can he detected, hut that on the contrary, a percep
tible improvement is taking place from year to year.
These exhibitions were also enlivened by the pre

The Alumni Society ol Franklin College, held
its annual meeting on Tuesday, in tho College Cha
pel, Hoii. A. S. Clnytuui President, in tho chair,
supported by its Vice-Presidents, (Jen. J. V. Harris
and Col. VV. C. Dawson. The oration was deliver
ed by E. A. Nishet, Esq. to his usual felicitous man
ner. As steps have been taken to linvo it publish
ed, it is oiniecrssnry to my more, than tlmt the mut
ter was in keeping with the manner; it welldeffervos
the attentive perusal of every Georgian. Hines
Holt, of Columbus, was elected orator for the next
Commencement. The Alumni Society unanimous
ly resolved tlmt it is highly desirable ami altogether
practicable to sustaih the publication of a monthly
magazine, to be called tho Athk.nian—und appoint
ed a committee of seven to act as joint Editors of
of the work. The Plii-Kappa and Deiuostheiiian
Societies also expressed tlieir very cordial approba
tion of this enterprise as entitled to the encourage
ment und patronage of the Honorary und regular
members of the two Societies. A prospectus has
already been issued and the general favor with which
it has iftet has thus far augers well for its success.—
It may be found iu our advertising column*.
The exercises of the week closed on Tliursdny
with tin oration before the Deinosthenian and Phi-
Kappu Societies, by Charms J. Jknkin.h, Esq. of
Augusta. As a literary production, it would do ho
nor to any of our most popular and talented public
speakers. We object, however, to the correctness
of some of the sentiments it contained, and particu
larly to the remarks upon public ignorance. Wu
are not prepared to say. nor do we yet believe, tlmt
there are mu.lions of Voters in the United States
who cannot reud the ticket which they deposit in
the batlot-lmx. It is a reflection upon the intelli
gence of the people not warranted by facts. The
oration, we presume, will he published, when all
who take ail interest id such matters, will have an
opportunity of perusing it, and judging of its senti
ments for themselves.
Between 20 nnd 30 have been admitted into Col
lege, ami several more are yet to he examined.

These Indians having (140 acres or more to every
warrior, sipmw ami pitpimoso, besides annuities,
equal to the interest on millions of dollars, can hard
ly be called poor ; if so, they enjoy a poverty, which,
if proportioned for all the people of our Union,
would give u» half the habitable world for our share.
If the United States pursue h course as liberal, with

will yet remain two mii.i.ions of square miles for

From the letter published below, it will be seen

sources to learn tlmt lie eminently distinguished

Alford. Quick in his determination*, and active to
carry his plans into execution—fearless in battle,
and by his example well calculated to infuse a spir

followers. A man who would not stand in the dead
ly breach without flinching by the side of such a
leader, ought to run the gauntlet ns a coward, or he

THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.
The following are the instructions of the Govern
ment, under which (Jen. Gaines has noted, in cross
ing the limits of the United States, ami entering the
territory of Mexico.
Extract of a letter from the. Secretary of liar to Major
Gen. Gaines, dated
Win DK.fMUT.MKvt, July 11, 1830.
“ 1 have received and submitted to the President
your letter of June 7th, together with the report
made to you hy Capt. Dean.
•* I am apprehensive from the tenor of this report,
us well as from your observations, that the frontier
lias much to fear from the hostilities of the Indian
tribes living in Texas. On this subject it is proper
to call your attention to the instructions previously
issued to you, and to say to you that if the conduct
of the Indians in Texas threatens the frontier whose
defence is entrusted to you, mid you consider it ue-
cessnry, with a view to its protection, to advance as'
far as Nacogdoches, you will dif so without hesita
tion. If the authorities of that country cannot pre
vent bodies of savages from approaching our fron
tier in arms, the neccsuury precautionary measures
must he taken hy you. This is the view of the Pre
sident."
