Indian frontier in Dooly and Early Counties
says the Macon Messenger, returned a few
days since. Some disturbances, adds the
same paper, had taken place in that quar
ter, but nothing of sufficient moment to
make a military interference necessary. It
is believed that misrepresentations were
made to the Executive by those whose im

vial circumstances, or no troops wulild have
been ordered out.
It is mentioned ill the Boston Centinel,
that the early return of the Secretary at
