This imperious duty was neglected | for more than forty-eight hours a delay that is curiously slurred over in the Major’s official re port. “It is most painful to remark the fatal rbarm that seems to Lave hung over every commander in this war who has been attacked behind breast works o»r pickets. From tho leading ease, at Camp Izard, to tho last tbnt has been reported, uoi a sorto—cortaiuly not one of vigor—has beeu made by any garrison, however inferior tho as sailing force- Several mortifyiug cases of this sort, havo duly followed, aud Major Cooper alone, with bis Georgia battallion, has ventured for a moment, boyond a lino of defences ,to re ceivo or to repel an attack. The series of exam pies alluded to have iuspirod the enemy with hardihood, repressed the zeal of our troops, aud may slightly excuso tlie conduct of Major Gates.

An express came in to the Governor last night; bripgiug intelligence of tho escape of the hostile Indians, probably under Jim Houry, & that on their way through, they have murdered fourteen whites. Gen. Scott, it issaid, started o(Ta com pany of tnouulcd men after them, but tho Indi ans were two days ahead ; but little prospect is eutertainod of overtaking thorn. Tbe express states, that the supposed number of ihe Indians were near 300, aud they were well mounted, &c The Indians crossed the Chattahoochee three miles only below Roanoke, aud thus with au ar my opposed to them of nearly 5,000 effective men. and in their midst, have thesp desperadoes escaped, carrying death and destruction in their train. In justice to Governor Schley, we are happy lo state, that some time since, anticipating that the ludiaus would escape whenever they got hard pressed, he took tho precaution to or der Geu. Wilcox, of Telfair county, to have a sufficient armed force stationed iu Baker county, to intercept them, and that tho men who wore tl^s ordered for this purpose, absolutely refused to bo commanded by Gen.

On tho fourth day the army rested—a party of the friend ly ludiaus got leave to visit.Neha Micco’s camp, took 12 prisoners, and killed one of the enemy. On the filth day. the ludiu.ijs went to Neha Mic ro’s camp, taking 0110 hundred bead .of cattle aud fifty bushels of corn. On flic 6th day, the army visited Neha Mathla’s camp again. Gen.

In a very short time after tho General had left, tho friendly Indians routed the hostiles nud gave chase, and drove them out sure enough at the yory point vyhere the whites had been stationed.

Last night* after the roll of tho drum had ceased, a whoop was distinctly heard up tno river, which no doubt was a signal to a partv a hove. On-Friday morning last, a negro b oy, who had escaped from the Indians that morning, aud who had been a prisoner same five or six weeks, was brought into the camp by Cap:. Love of the Georgia volunteers. He $(ated that a par ty of tweuty or thirty had camped tho night be fore within six or seven miles, anjl bun left that morning for a large swamp not far off, no doubt Cawngee swamp and that he saw -Jim Henry that dav, who advised them to go as soon as pos sible, and that he hat) been hadly wounded iu the shoulder.

He was armed with a mus ket, twenty balls, aud a pocket full of powder.— He was much frigntened, hut seemed determined to commuuicate as littlo as possible ; but us far as he did toll, he corroborated the statements of tho boy.

We believe no difficulties need to be apprehended from those In dians, if the appropriations callod for by tbe trea ty are made immediately, so as to enable the Government to carry into effect its provisions, to supply the poor and destitute among them with food, anil to provide for their removal.

At Mr. Buffingtou’s we saw Mr. Taylor; he told us that he had been bout the Chciokees considerably, and ho found they were better satisfied that he anticipated they would have been. At Sanders we saw quite a number of Cherokecs, who appeared friendly.— AtCoosevvaytee, one of the strongest settlements iu tho nation, and oue of the most hostile until oflate. wo were received with great cordiality.— Here is Foster’s residence, and I was glad to perceive that lie was received so friendly—in fact, beyond my anticipation.
