- (Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.)
. FREDERICK, Jan. 1G.
The deposition of Governor Schley of Georgia, was
read. Tho. Goverjjor^reniarks upop the coincidence
of Gen. Sciott at Savannah, Jti^sup at Augtista, and
himself at MilledgeyiHe—having i o previous commu
nication on die subject—in suggesting fee snue plan
of campaign. If is views of Gen. Jessup’s treatment
towards Gen, Scott are clearly defined, and-place the
conduct of tlie Quarter Master General in'a very un
enviable light. Gov. Schley is of ppinior that fewer
murders wrtuld hare been committed, and a lesser
number of fee hostile Creeks escaped into Florida,
had Jessup adhered to fee Original plan of campaign,
by ,which both Generals were t6 operate simultaneous
ly ;but Jessup wrs restless, lest all fee honor o.f dosing
fee War would be Gen. Scott's, aad as he (Jessup) had
feefndiaiis in his immediate neighborhood, he thought
bv striking an immediate blow at, them, he could run
a'wuy. wife fee honor himself*. _ He did act; fee friend
ly Creek Indians captured fee most formidable band
of die hostile*, and the war was closed. Gen. Scott
was recalled to atone for his delay in opcrhtiug earlier,
and Mr. Quarter 3Iaster General, T. S. Jesup, com
mander of the driufeern a pity, is 1 * * 4 ',
A letter from Gen. Jesup to Governor Sclilet was
then read to die court. Tins letter complained at Gov.
Sch|eyV having written to-lhe President of the U:.S.
, iu consequence of hi# ('Schley) not hearing from, ftj-
np in reply to ft. letter addressed by die Governor fe
him, asking for certain information. Tho President
directs a communication to Jesup upon the' subject-—'
whereat Jesup take* fire—looks at Ids'file, and Io!
there behold* the letter which be bad forgot to send in
rejily fe Gov. Schley’s, and which wa# enclosed in an
other, and then, wlien it could be of oorase, send* it fe
him.* T . ,
General Scott said dipt he should argue, at the pro
per time, diis' peculiar /ailing of Geti: Jessup, and
would prove that he is itabituated to writing letters and
placing them on filet as though copies had actually
been sent to those for whom diey were intended. - .
.The Judge Advocate ccplinucd fee reading of fee
deposition, and when finished, Geti. 8cott presooted a
letter front'Gen. Woodward, which contained evidence,
of fee determination of Gen. Jesup to disregard the
plepgato co-operate with Gen. Scott, atai of his hav-
inu acted in disobedience of orders •."J, ) ,■
A letter from die Hoa. W. C. Dawson, 31. C- ivho
commanded a detachment of volunteers and infantry
on board of die steam boat which vrns stationed bn die
Withlacoochee, enclosing Us deposition, was read.
His answers are confirmatory of what has preceded,
viz: die exoneration of Gen. Scott from unnecessary
delay in preparing to operate against the Creek Indi
ans, and which fee public will remember was the only
charge against General Scptt, in connection with tho
Creek, matter.
Gen.' 8cott then offered the Court anodicr paper,
signed by Col. Lane, .(dien Lieutenant,) formerly, and
at feat time an aid to Gen. Jesup, which was evideudy
die handy work- of bodi, pretending to be an abstract
of fee correspondence between Gen. Jesup and others,
iu reference to fee'Creek war. , Gen. Scott said lie
would offer it in evidence, and at fee proper tithe, for
* would visit it widt fee full measure of his severity,
wife aslitde allusion to the deceased, (Col. Lane,) as
was piacticabl*. Said Gen. Scott, •* l have no wish
to disturb fee ashes of fee dead—my business. is wife
die living.” ' ...
3Ir.; 151 air’s letter to die Judge Advocate was,read,
in which he excuses, himself from attendance upon die
Court, in consequ ence of his duties as an officer of fee
House of ReprrjsentauVes; says he wilTanswer Gen.
Scott’s qUcsti'jns, if reduced to writing, and refers fee
Court to feq. Qiobe. Gen. Scott here made some re
marks ab-jut /ds not having any agency in any- publi
cation for .1 year past, excepting bis letters to Captr :- *

bod state of fee toads, the weather, dec. about the
time of Gbne'fal Scott’s arrival at Picolata, and of the
difficulty in getting fee supplies across die St.. John’s t
Anstcer,—'i'fie weather wus yery bad. An unusual
ly heavy-raiu storm occurred about tiiat time, which
. rendered die passage across die rtt’er very ditfu-ult.

The army.—Ai r. Kerr wbo arrived at this .place last
Tuesday from Fort Draue, gives us fee following; in
formation. •
On Thursday of last week, we met au express from
Geu. Jesup, bearing orders for all fee wagons at Black
Creek to be sent with provisions.to.Fort Uraue. The
express left fee army under Gen. Je>itp not far from
Dade’s - battle ground, on the march from Tampa to
Fort Drane, were the army has arrived before this,
The hostile Indians had not been fallen tn with by
the army. Jim toy, of the Creeks. hius, however been
successful in- taking sixty negroes prisoners, near the
Ucklawpha. These negroes,' said to be Indian negroes,
were arfiied arid-made resistance but were so com
pletely surprised, feat fecy were secured widi only two
wounded of the- friendly Creeks. Rut lew Indians
were wife die negroes. Of those few two or force it
is said, were killed. Among 'foe negroes taken, is
Primus, who belonged to the tinfortnnate Rogers, kil
led last whiter die same time wife Gen. Thompson.—
ft will be recollected feat titis Primus was sent twice to
fee hostile* by Gen. Gabies. The first liipe he retur
ned, but being sent a-second folio lie joined the Sem j
incites, instead of having been killed by them as was
supposed! Primus is now in no. euviable situation.—
He must turn traitor to fee Indians now, or he must
die. It is said fog( Gen. Jesup demands ol him to
point out to him where the hostile Indians and their
families are—and told him that he was till next Satur
day, to give tlie information required.^ but that, i( he
thou refused to give it and do its required, lie should
die, die death of a trator—diat he should be hung.—
Valuable information respecting die location .of fee
hostilcs will iris probably nay almost certain, be drawn
from the negro prisoners Tlie next move ot Gen.
Jesup will, of'course we should ‘think be upon that
joint where i.e shall he 'iuforiupd die Indians are col-
,'eeted—Perhaps tlietr last strong hold. . •'

Austeer— In- conseijiteiicc of tlje uiieipectcd delay
Ut the arriyiil of tlje urrfis at Hawkitisville, Gyn, Scott
told tiie to go by day and'bight, towards that plage until
I should meet foe train of. wagons front Columbus,-
and hasten dieir arrival by every possible meitiU, I
had niouiitcd ii/y horse to .execute dial order, when
Major Beard arrived it; u public stage from Hawfeins-
,ville, and he assured Ueir. Scott and inysclf-that he
had foe greatest confidence in the yeal and activity of
die conductor, and their arrival could not he exjiedited
by" my trip, «fc diey woufj. certainly be therein two or
tiiree days. They did.not, however, arriveuntil about
« week from this time. ' .
i Question—What other' circumstances' occurred to
prevent tlie arrival of those arms !
Anixeer—I stated itj my atiwer to the preceding ques
tion dial d>e arms did not arrive until three or four
days after tjiey were exjjected. The cause, ot which
sis reported on the arrival of the. train was a letter;
written by Alajor General Irwin, of die Alabama
Militia, to Brigadier General Wilcox, of Georgia,
who had been charged wife fee protection of the dis
trict ofcotintry on the route of the enemy to Florida.
This letter stated that aOOO hostile Creek Indians bad
crossed the Chattahopcliee, and fi - c;re laying waste die
lower counties of Georgia, murderingintb.eir progress
men, women and children, indiscriminately. Uil .lhe
appeaiuuce of this letter ut die publi: journals, - fee
iultabitants of that portion of country fled for protee
tion to die interior. ‘ The conductor of the trniu was
seized witli tlie same panic, and changed jtis direction,
Su as to pass above foe supposed efiemy. Thereby
delaying the arrival of die arms some three or four
days. •
General Scott annriiinced to the Court that he would
here rest his Creek case,.reserving to hitnsclf foe right
of examining Gen. Woodward, should he arrive'Sn
1 the .mean time, and dial ho would be pleased if the
Court could assign him Thursday next to commence
his defence upon that question, in which fee Court
acquiesced.—The President then adjourned fee Court
until to-morrow morning, at 11 o’clock, when-fee case
of Maj. Gen. Gaines will be resumed. ,

On Sunday night last, the sentinels, stationed at the
