It occurted about 11 o: 12 o’clock, and about fif teen miles this side of Tuskegee. From all the circumstances, the passengers ate of opinion that they owe their escape to the fact of the Indians not having had time to reload their guns, which they hud just fired at some uiifortuuate traveller, who most probably fell a victim to their brutal fe rocity. One indiyidgal they had certainly shot, aud severely wounded, within two hundred yards of the spot. They followed the stage two or three hundred yards—aud from their hostile appear ance aud expressions, no doubt would have fired upon as had their guns been charged. JOHN E. DAWSON.

The wild savage, freuzied by the smell of blood in his nos trils, is piowling the wilderness, skulking around plantations, lo v elliiig the deadly rifle at the breast of tho white Uiau, scalping tho unoffending wife aud mother, and beheading the innocent aud uu- stispeutjug babe! \Vp have heard of some cases which make the blood chill in our veins: a house, in t'liidi lived a mail, his wife and six children, was suddenly suri-ouudcd by a savage baud, who euicrcd the peaceful, domicil, inhumanly massa cred every soul, securing, the scalps of all; and severing each child’s head from its body ! Tho house of a Air. Colton was attacked, and him self butchered without a moment's warning, or the least opportunity for resistance. Wc believe, in all, from forty to fifty murders have been com mitted, besides numbers of negroes ou planta tions. Fires have been kindled in every direc- tlon; farm houses, cotton-gins, out-liouses, corn- cribs, aud ali of value, swept away from the ho- ue:t aud iiuhutrioiis Planter, who was laudably striving to locate himself comfortably for life, aud provide For his children. The hostile Indi ans have been found as low down tho river as Ir- wintoii, and as high up us tbe Federal Road, or about thirty miles above that poiut. Pile InlliHving tow-119 aud tribes of ludians, are without doubt, hostile: a part of the Uchees, the Hilchaiies; tho Pah-lo-cho-ko-los, the So-wok- ko-los, aud a part of the Ufallays. Ncnh-Matb- lee.

Old Ncah-Mlero, the head of the Creek Natiou, must lie considered as hostile, ha ving been se)|t fop several timps, to come in aud hold a friendly talk—aud as often refusing to com-; ply with the request. Col. Crowell has heeu ac quainted with this old Chief fora scries of years, aud they have beeu ou terms of strict friendship. Neali-.AJatliiec refused to cotno iu to Col. Crow ell, and sent him word that “the young men of hii nation were bcut on w ar.” The Indians have acted with a great deal of holduess thus lariu this war. Notwithstanding Fort Mitchell is well defended, and picketed in the most secure nnd substantial manner, yet oue uight last week, the hostile foe approached with in thirty to fifty yartjs of the pickets, entered the hospital anil carried off whatever 'hey pleased. It was not deemed prudent, of course, for the of ficers o«- soldiers to leave the fortifications.
