GEORGIA, - Bald-win county
By a gentleman from the Mus
cle-Shoals, we have learnt, that
Capt. Jas. M‘Donald’s & Capt.
John Regan’s companies lud ar
rived at the Rifle Camp, a few
miles above the mouth of Elk ri-
*ver, from the cantonment near
Natchez* They were at prefent
under the command of Major
John Fuller; but Col. Purdy
from Highuaffee was expefted
there in a few days, with all the
garrlfon and Itores at llighwaf-
lec, .as that fort was about to be
evacuated. The obj'ft for al-
fembling foldiers at the Rifle
camp is conicftured to be two
fold; firft to remove intruders
on the Indian lands, and fecond-
ly to open a road to theTombig-
bee. To cffecl the firft object
l.ieuf. Thomas Ramfey has left
notice* at feveral public places
•among the fettlers requiring
them to tn.ove off by the 15th
of December next, otherwife
the military were ordered todrive
them off at the point of the bay

directly and pofitively kur.wn,

of the beft informed of the offi-

no doubt to prevent the mufic of the
