Copy of a letter from lieutenant-colonel Arouckle, com
manding at Fort-Gadsden. to the Agent for Indian Af
fairs, dated 31st August, 1818.
“ Sir,—Within a few days, one hundred and
eighty-eight'of the hostile Indians from near Su
wannee surrendered themselves at this post;
these with others who have surrendered of late,
in all about three hundred, I have ordered into
the Nation and to report to you. They are in a
most wretched condition, and will be at Furt
Gaines about the 16th next month. I shall make
provision for them until the first of October, or
until I hear from you, or some arrangement is
made for them, provided that may be soon. The
Indians who lately surrendered brought with
them twenty-nine negroes, men, women and chil
dren. Eighteen of them appear to belong to dif
ferent persons in the Florida*, and eleven are
claimed by Indians."
Copy of a letter from major-general Gaines to governor
Rabun, dated head-quarters, Fort Hawkins, Septem

Sir,—I have the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your excellency’s communication of the
22u inst. and in reply have to observe that, I have
taken measures to concentrate upon that part of
the southern frontier recently menaced by the
savages, such of the disposable regular force of
my command as can be most speedily drawn to
that point. I have reason to believe that this force
reach its destination by the middle of next
month, and that it will be sufficient to repel any
number of Indian warriors that may be likely to
approach that frontier.

paper of the 8th inst. in reply to my remarks on
the
affirmation on the 25th ultimo, which they now
acknowledge, mum, would have done them much
more credit, than their dignified appeal to the
“ apologists” of general Jackson.
Let it be admitted, that there did appear before
the court, aud is still upon the records of that
court, either a charge or specification exhibited
by general Jackson, that does nut change my ne
gative of their aspersion. li General Jackson
himself ordered the arrest and trial of col. Brear-
ley”—I contend that the position assumed by
me in your paper of the 1st inst. is tenable. The
arrest tuok place in March, and it was not known
that there would he additional charges, Scr.—Of
this colonel Brearley was ignorant until he reach
ed Fort Scott in June to be arraigned ; this infer
ence was not deilucible from their manner of ex
pression, and were 1 willing to make any deduc
tions from their composition, 1 should believe,
that this, like other unfounded calumnies which
have been sent abroad, through the medium of
their paper against that meritorious officer, was
ntended, by comparison, to operate on the minds
of the people, and therefore, give currency to
their previous and subsequent abuse, of a man
whose worth they are unconscious of. Plain
Truth will assure the editors of that very “ inde
pendent press,” that they view him in an impro
per character ; he disclaims being one of the apo
logists of general Jackson—his object was to de
tect misrepresentation, not to learn whether their
motives were criminal; they must believe, that
general Jackson has nothing to fear, and I nothing
to dread. 1 cannot judge of the motives of men
in any other way than by their acts and expres
sions.
I will conclude by suggesting to the editors of
the Journal, the propriety of informing them
selves in relation to the usages of the army, ami
particularly the regulations governing in general
courts martials ; this will obviate the unpleasant
duty of imposing or attempting on the communi
ty the effusions of their own imagination and
fancy, for matters of fact. As I obseryed before,
the law upon this subject admits of but one con
struction, and that is simply this, that the com
manding general was bound in the discharge of his
duty to order the court.
Plain Truth can be known at any moment on
application to Mr. IIine9, if his style and can
dor offends ; he has never been disposed to re
main incog to any person whose feelings he may
perchance have wounded ; motives which he does
not feel disposed to disclose at this time, has in
duced him to appear (where lie will not be again
found) before the public under an assumed sig
nature. PLAIN TRUTH.
