Several skirmishes have taken placcdowu the
river siuce our last. Ou Friday, a company un
der tho direction of Capt. Brown, consisting of
parts of Capts. Brown’s McCnry’s and Carr’s
commands, discovered a considerable number of
Indians attempting to crossthe river. The white
fired upon them and killed iutheeugagemeut, four
or fiivo. Ouo of Capt. Browu’s compauy, from
Crawford, by tho name of Crasland. was kil
led.
O11 Saturday, an attack was made on the
Steamer Mctaiuora, Loyd Capt. which at that
time contained the foilowiug companies, viz:
Capt. Booth's compauy, Pikn Guards, from Ala.,
Capt. Adair's compauy of Randolph Blues, and
Capt. Suclgruvc’s company from Randolph Co.
Ga. in consequence of the Indians having made
frequent attacks on tho Boats passing up and
down the River, these troops, who were at that
iiffle ill Irwimou, determiud to pass up, in order
to obtain a brush with them—the entire compan
ies were not ordered ou this duty, hut those
who came, volunteered tlicii services for the
purpose. The Pike Guards are a mourned com
pany, but so strong was their belief that tho
boat would be attacked, that they left their
horses in Irwimou, to which place they retur
ned ou Wednesday. These troops wero mar
ched ou hoard tho boat about two o'clock on
Saturday morning, duriug a heavy rain, to the
amount in numbers, of about one hundred aud
fifty men. Oue third of the Georgia troops at
least were without either arms or ammunition.
The boat got under way from Irwiutou about

it was theu determined to imrch back to the
place where we were first assailed aud drive
rack the ludiaus; but it war found that the
Creek would have to he passed before the enemy
could he come up with. To pass this Creek,
covered as it was with thick uiidcrgrowths. was
deemod to bo imprudent. The Troops were ac
cordingly agaiu embarked, aud the boat again
got uuder. way. In this attack, a man by the
name of Samuel Butler, belonging to the Pike
Guards, aud oue of the boat hauds, (uauic uu-
kuowu.) were severely wounded. The number
of Indians killed has uot been ascertained with
any ceilaiuty;but it is believed they lost at least
eight, who were seen lo fall. Report says that
fourteen dead bodies were found at the place ol
the attack* Soroo fivo miles above, the boat
was agaiu attacked aud a railing fire kept up for
sovcral miles. Tho ludiaus iu this attack did

were immediately fired npou from the boat. It
is believed that mare damage was done the In

man Ueiij. Owens, of the Pike Guards, was
wounded—it is feared mortally, in this engage

Ou thesame day (the 9th) the enemy attacked
the Gwinnett troop, about >0U men, stationed at
Dr. Shepherd’s, a few miles from tVoauokc, whom
it was reported the 1jdiaus had surrounded, over
powered and destroyed. One of our correspon
dents writes us, that they were defeated ; that the
Itoauokers, hcariug the firing, had -jdespatched a
corps of 40 nieii to their aid, nhu themselves
were uearly surrounded, lost 5 or 6 uieu, and
were forced to retire, the ludiau keeping the bat

dead in the road. In a postcrip!, our correspon

Gwinnett compauy were attacked by about 253
Indians and had to retreat—five meu missing.
All this leaves us in painful suspense ns tu the
fate ol ihe Gwinnett corps; neither of the ac
counts having giveu auy information iu relation to
the present position or situation of this compauy.

Ou Thursday, we repaired to this place, within

Stewart, Capt. of the Infantry. Last Saturday,
a detachment of Cavalry, consisting of about 50
men, under command of Sergaut Major Still and
