To the Georgia Delegation in Congrpss.
Progress of the Creek Campaign.
At the time we now' write, nothing definite lias been
heard from the Georgian Army since its arrival at Roa
noke ; hut presume, before this time, it has entered
the heart of the enemy’s country. Our anxiety for in
telligence of its further progress, is intense.
It was the iuteutiot; of the Commander ill Chief, we
learn, to cross the Army again into Alabama, at or be
low Roanoke, and there form a junction with the Ala
bama troops. Having left a sufficient guard all along
on iheCliattalioochy. to prevent the crossing of the
Indians, it was his intention to enter the Nation and
scour it from one extremity to the other.
Several companies of troops have beep left at Co
lumbus, to protect that city in case the enemy should
he driven upon it from below.
It is repotted that since the Army got under ninrch,
a large body of Indians have come to Port Mitchell and
given themselves up. The report seems plausible
enough: Our opinion has always been, that the Creeks
Would only be hostile so long as they could maintain
-that attitude with impunity; and that when a force suf
ficient to overawe and chusliso them should be collect*
ed on their borders, they would doff* the war dress, as
sume the garb of peace, and profess friendship. Re
cent advices justify’ this opinion.

ernment. If it is not now ended, it cannot be too
rigorously prosecuted : and the sword should not he

cated, and their ashes scattered to the winds! And those
who, like old Ncah Micro, have pursued an equivocal
course, should pass through a severe ordeal before they
be allowed to escape.
We have no doubt the war will soon be brought
to a clo e: and piubably without any .general battle.

were placed wilhiu the vvallsof the Fort, while the vvo-

was an assemblage of human beings, such as vve had
never before witnessed, and the sight tilled us with
thought, and feelings to which vve shall not give vent
at ibis tune They were of all ages; from a month old
to an hundred years—of all sizes; from ilie litt'e pa

(as he is called.) rode in'the centre of the throng, and
although it has been many years since he has beheld
the light of day. yet bus the feeling of hostility con
tinued to rankle at his heart. The names of the hos

Neah-K-Matlda; Octo-Archo-Fuiathla: .Vicco-CkoJey,

Jim Boy; Tuckebatetche-Hadjo, and Tuckebatche-

of Ec.iic-lladjo and has renounced all hostilities.
On Friday, (24th,) a party started from Fort Milch-

in pursuit of Jim Iletiry, and the band of Ucliees un-

supposed to he scattered in the swamp. They sur
prised some scattering Indians and had a few shots at
them, but without killing any; the main body made
their escape; they, however succeeded in capturiug
about 30 warriors, whom they biuught into Fort Mitch

ed from Fori Jones, near Roanoke, that a large party
of Indians crossed the river yesterday afternoon, (ihe
9lli inst.) say about 2000, and are now ou their inarph
to Florida.” This statement has caused many persons
to leave their homes and property although, in tmth,
Gen. Irwin was misinformed « n the subject.^ as the
number tiiat crossed the river did not exceed 250, aud
they met with such a warm reception from Capt. Gar-

Aud as soou us they discovered that such retreat was
cut oft by the troops oil the lino oi the Chattahoochee

The Creeks crossing ihe Chattahooelue, and escaping to
Florida !
Mr. Jacob Slwtwell orrived in this city last evening,
from tlie lower edge of Lee. which county he left on
Monday last. From him we learn that several families
had been murdered by the Creeks, in thc 2d and 3d
districts of Baker, on Snturday nightlust. The bodies
of 13 individuals, men women andcliildicn. have been
found horridly butchered. The Indians had been »eeu
in considerable number*. It was conjectured there
were ut least 100 warriors, having their women and
children with them, and 60 or 70 horses.
It is supposed tho Indians crossed the Chattnhonchy
ubout25 inilea below Roanoke, mid were pursuing the
old trail through Baker and Thomas counties to Flo-
»rida. This trail passes about two miles below Newion,
n Baker, and near the corner of Decatur county
. The extent of the mischief done by this baud, is tin-
known; but it is probably much greater than we have
any idea of, as hut a small portion oftheir bloody track j

who directed our fathers in the struggle for indepen

calls “the established custom of selecting candidates
for tho party.” I had once been made the victim of
that “custom,” and was determined that 1 would uot be
so again. I announced in the meeting whm has been
fully understood by the people for some months, that I
would not consent to be controlled by any arrangement

a species of dictation, which carried oat tfc. —■-!•— * r

however, tinder certain circumstances, to submit my

to decline I would do so, but not otherwise.. I object
too, to another inconvenience of the “established cii-s-
