On the 19th, with a more formidable force, wc again proceeded in quest of our enemy, and after patroling the swamps and cane brakes, it was discovered they had fled towards the Sip sy river. We then buried our dead, and return ed to our respective abodes. On the same day colonel T. Hunter, with 110 mounted men, set ofl in pursuit ol them, and coining up with their rear, killed one of their warriors. They have taken their flight toward the borders of the Choc taws, who are apprised of their approach, and will, I trust, soon give a good account of them. My reasons for making this communication to your department, is in consequence oi our hav ing acted without any kind of orders, but solely from self-preservation. Should it meet the ap probation of government, I shall feel happy in having rendered rny country the Smallest service; if net, 1 hope it will be attributed to rny want of skill, and not to the lack of good will to be of ser vice to my fellow citizens in general.

Every honorable measure within tiie reach of the commissioners of pilotage is about to be used to retrieve the credit ot our bar, which has, from the negligence or systematic turpitude of the pilot, fallen in the estimation of people residing at a distance. A change of pilots will be one; and, unless expectation fad, their choice will prove worthy of public confidence. But, as vessels, at liars, attended by the most vigilant pilots, have at times to run in with no other g’ukle than chance or the direc tions ot some nautical writer, perhaps inaccurate from time, distance or deficiency in personal knowledge, the ! commissioners requested the gentlemen who carried down and anchored the buoys, to furnish such informa tion as might enable vessels to cross Doboy bar, should the pilot be absent, with the least possible danger.— The request was complied with, and the annexed arti cle handed for publication; which we give it With pleas ure, as we know it to emanate from a source en hied to implicit belief. The following are the depths of water, bear ngs and distances oi tw reu buoys, placed in Do oy line ‘, lead ing to Darien, Georgia: Buoy, No. 1, sunk in eighteen feet water, at low wa ter, on the outer edge of tiie bar, bearing east half north from the beacon on Wolf-Island three miles and three quarters distant, and four and a half miles from the sout ii point of Sapelo in an east southeast direction. Buoy, No. 2, sunk in twenty-one feet water at low wa tei, oft the north breaker head, bearing - east half north from the beacon aforesaid about two and a half miles, and in a southeast by east direction three and a half miles fiom the south point of Sapelo. I Ins buoy is southeast by eas. naif east five miles and a half from Doboy Island, and from tiie most southern part of the north breaker one third of a mile west by south half south Directions for crossing Doboy bar: Doboy bar lies in hit. ol 21 v[ lon. 81 26 west. Ves sels making the land, when in five or six fathoms water, “ I during clear weather, see the beacon on \\ olf- Jsland; which must De brought to bear west half south, nun exactly in this course, till the buoy, on the outer eilge ot tiie bar, is made, which may be passed on ei ther side. Continue this west half south course till near Ihe inner buoy opposite the north breaker. In passing them, the north breaker is to be kept on the starboard and the buoy on the larboard hand, taking care ai the same time that the flood tide does not set tiie ves sel on tiie ndrth breaker. In r lining this course, the oar is crossed with liui less than twelve feet water at tow water. \\ hen abreast of the inner buoy, run from it one mile and a half in a direction exactly northwest by west; where the anchorage is excellent m four fa thoms water at low water, with the beacon bearing southwest, The neap tide ebbs seven feet. rile buoys above-mentioned were placed, the bear ings, dis.unces and depth ot waver taken, and the di rections tor coming in over the bar to safe anchorage g \en by the undersigned at the request of the commis sioners ot pilotage for the port of Darien and Sapelo river.
