C’rcek Wssr. Prom the Columbus Enquiry. It would be impossible to find snace, ii we were disposed to record them, for num berless reports which originate in the pre sent excited state of public feeling. Jlany ot them having in truth no foundation, seem to gain credence from their absolute abs'tinli ty others, Inning something of a be gining, increase as they 11 y and swell so f.r beyond their proper dimensions, us scarce ly to be recognised by their originators.— At a time like this, there cannot be too much caution, either in relating or believing the thousand and one marvelou; stories, w ,;.i which the public ear is daily tilled. Hith erto, we have endravi red to ascertain t < correctly as possible, the truth of lite vari ous transactions, connected w ith the present war and relate them without partiality or prejudice, fear, favor or ali’ection. Titi course we slid pursue, believing that all our readers will prefer facts we can gather, to the countless rumors that float in even breeze. In our last, we spoke of the number oi Troops which had up to that time rolled like the moving ocean, wave after wave, to the banks of' the Chatiuhoocliie. Since then, at least a dozen beautiful companies have arrived, andjoined their patriot broth ers on the tented field. Nothing is now wanting but arms and provisions. These are on the way and hourly expected. A few more days,and as tine mi arms as Geor gia, or any other Stale, ever sent into lite field, will march in quest of the toe. Mav victory perch upon the banners of the brave, and our gallant ami generous contrymen prove to a savage enemy, that the blood ot’ murdered women and children, will not sink into the earth unheeded and unreven ged. The escort which accompanied Gen. Jessup to Tuskegee, returned on Saturdr.v last. It was an expedition fll of danger, in as much as the gallant bam! passed im mediately through the thickest ot the hostil ities. On Tuesday last, a detachment consist ing of the Fouche \ oluuteers from Greene and the Independent Artillery of this place under command of Capt. \V. C. Daw son, was ordered to make a cruise up and down the river, on board the steambout .Metamora for -the purpose of preventing the Indians Irom crossing to the Georgia side. In <; lew hours Capt. Dowson with his command went on board the boat, and forthwith de scended the river. They had proceeded to the Uchee Shoals, when the Indians com menced a quick and rapid lire, from both sides of the river, which was returned with • spirit by the detachment under Capt. D. No injury was sustained on the part of '.he whites, but from the balls penetrating and in some instances passing through tlie for tification, some of them must have narrow!-, escaped. Five Indians and a negro that was with them, were seen to fall, and were supposed to have been killed. When the firing commenced. Capt. Daw son, we understand, ordered the boat to tound to, w hich at the moment was imprac ticable, she being at the lime running down through the shoals. So soon as the boat could be turned, it was done, and she as cended the riverslowly, when the firing on both sides was renewed. After this en gagement, Capt. Dawson continued his cruise down ami landed, and in conjunction with the forces stationed at Fort Jones buri ed the remains of those brave men, belong ing to Capts. Garmany and Ball’s compa nies, who had previously fallen in their des perate engagement with the Indians. The Metamora returned on Monday, bringing the wounded belonging to the Gwinnett company. It is unnecessary lor us to say any tiring in favor of the officers and sol diers belonging to this expedition. We al! know Dr. Hoxey’s artillery men, and if Dawson’s boys wont fight, they will do ve ry well to fool the world with. One of the most serious and desperate engagements that has happened since the commencement of the present war, took place about three miles above Fort Jones, on Thursday last. About forty of the Gwinnett cavalry, under Capt. Garmany were stationed at the house of Mr. Shepherd, the ballance of the company having been detailed for some other service. Capt G. in the forenoon of that day, had promi cd Col. Jernigan, who w as then out on a scout ing party, to assist him, in case he was at tacked. At three o’clock in the evening firing was heard at a short distance, which was supposed to bean engagement between the afore-mentioned scouting party and the Indians. Capt. Garmaiiv immediately set oil’ on foot with his forty men, who after proceeding about half a mile, discovered several Indians, who retreated towards a branch to their main body, consisting of a bout 250. The whites advanced and at tacked them, when a battle of more than two hours duration ensued. It wa. evident from the movements of the enemy, that their object was to out flank and surround the command of Capt. Garmony, who ordered a retreat back to the house. The Indians pressed upon bis men, keeping up a con stant fire, which was returned with the des perate courage of those who were deter mined to sell their lives as dear as po i'de. Nothing could have exceeded the bravery of this little band, who though compelled to retreat, disputed every inch of ground, and sent many a tawncy savage to las la-t account. Capt. G. who-.e name will be re membered for his intrepid and dauntless conduct, slew three of his merciless assail ants, after he had retreated to the houst one of them after be himself had been shot down. His men too, no less brave than himself, kept up i constant fire upon their pursuers, until the arrival ofa reinforcement of about twenty men from Fort Jone , who charged the Indian, and reliev. d for the time, the exhausted troops that had firn: Lt the first hard battle. This reinforcement being however too small to contend with the overw helming force of the enemy, wen compelled to retreat, after fighting ten to one, for almost half an hour. In these en gagements some twenty-five or thirty Indi ans are said to have been killed. From the f ,'z,7;.'„-z / a7.s Ser!..nJ. lle vt> <2" iiirras, Geo. ) Columbus, l.'th June, ISSIti. j ORDER.

Excellency \> .1,1.1 AM SCHLEY : .or..- S.r; On Wednesday evi nine, the Sth, my company was by order of Mai. Howard,- 1 cioned at Dr. S.iep’. id’s p! citation, about - ..' mile.- above Roanoke ; that night 1 placed 1 i oat three picket guards, tour men in each ; one . picket two and a hall miles Irom the camp, where the Indians were expected to cross : one . picket one ami a half miles, and the third one, one and a quarter miles from camp. Mv pick et guards remained at their posts till about an hmr by sun in the morning and returned. 1 h (d sixteen police guards mit the same ni;,:ht, wnich were relieved every two hours. 'Dial 1 night no Indians were seen bv either of tlie guards. Next morning I received an order trom 31aj. Howard to send an oilicerand 20 : men tip to I- ort McCreary, four miles up tlie ri ■; V 'T, to guard that place until 3 o’clock, when lie would send another company down to take charge ot tlie Fort, which had been vacated by ; tlie troop , whose time ot service iiad expired, which order was obeyed. As soon as these 20 men leit.Col. (jibsen and four of mv' men went io toe river, in order that Cok Gibson would; shew them all the places where tlie Indians would behkelv to cross, he being well acquaint ed with their placed ol’cn >ing. After scout ing up ami down the river, they returned about 10 o’clock without having seen any Indian-.;' about that time Major Jernigan, with about 25 me ), came to our camp, and about 12 o’clock ho left on a scouting party on the river, and when we separated he told'me if 1 should hear him in an engagement to come to ids assistance. I'hat being lite first day from the time we had entered the service, when we had an opportu nity of washing our clothes, 1 recommended to my men for some of them to wash their shirts, as they were very dirty, having left our clothes at I ort ingersol, when we were ordered down the river on tlie Saturday previous, with an ex pectation oi‘returning in two days to get onr clothing. The men ha I finished their washing j and hung their clothes out to dry, and just eat ing their dinner. Between 2 and 3 o’clock, 1 ! heard tiring commence about half a mile from where we were—supposing that Major Jernitian . and lf:s men had been attacked, 1 ordered mv men to parade immediately, ami leave their ' dinner. V« e left our horses and all our clothes, ami indeed every tiling u e laid, except the clothes we had on, and several of tlie men had no shirts on, and we repaired immediately io the firint', ! leaving one man in the house to take care ot' our things. After we marched half a mile, and tound the Indians prepared for battle, we made the attack. 1 directed my men to reserve their lire until they would be sure to make an effec tive tire. W hen in about one hundred yards, 1 directed the men to fire; a number of'iudians tell; lam certain G or 7—they were carried back, and tlie Indians retreated till they came to their commander, who was on horseback, and formed the line : we then gave them another lire, which they returned—my company then stood firm until they tired four rounds, the In- - keeping up a regulat 1 , fire. They again retreated unlit they reached their commander. Every time they retreated they were reinforced to the number, I think, of at least 250 Indians ; and as lotig as 1 could keep them in front, they were repulsed every time. But they became so ! numerous, and my company consisting of only 1 42 men in line at tlie t.me, tlie enemy began to i'.ink u-. 1 found it necessary to order mv men to retreat and fne on tlie retreat, which we did : ■ directing half my men to face to tlie right and th • other to the left, and lire upon their flanks, t> keep them from surrounding us. After iiav- I itig retreated and firing in lids wav about half a mile, wo reached a small field, and used the f. uce as a breastwork until w e tired two rounds. By this time tlie enemy had succeeded in divi ding onr men. By firing on the left flank, my self and about ten men succeeded in getting possession of tlie yard ; at the time I entered the gate, tlie enemy had succeeded in iretting into tlie opposite side of tlie yard, but we suc ceeded and drove them from their position.— Tltey then tied to the gin house, and we took a position and watched an opportunity to shoot as they passed around the houses. 1 directed i my men not to fire until they could be certain ■ I >kilk They obeyedmy orders. I took apo- i sition behind two trees, so situated that ti.ev , could not see me, and from that place I amcer . tain 1 killed an Indian who was attempting to gel one of our horses over tic fence. When lie . tell another attempted to get tile same horse, and , before he succeeded in getting the horse, J shot him and lie fell witliin tlir(.-e feet of the other.— J then load, d again, and just at that moment three oilier Indians passed round tl.e corner of ii s mill house forty yards from u.. 'Two of mv I i. men siiot, which stopped two ; and tlie oilier I si.i.t me tlirmiLdi tlie thigh, which caused me to .fall. The Ind itn drew iiis knife and made to- i , vvards me. 1 raised up and shot him and he I j iell. At tlie time 1 felt it produced a panic a- ; mongst those of my men who were present, and they cried out, our Captain is dead. 1 called to ! them 1 was not dead, hut to fi'dit on. _. Jut at this moment, Maj.

WAR NEWS. i 'Die following letter from an officer of the Warren Riflemen, contains the latest ami most iuteresl’mg intiliigence from lite Creek war: “Camp Georgia, Alabama, I ISth June, 18'16. J News has just reached itere, that tlie Troops below, have taken Noah Mathlo and bis sou, pri .oners, and that the war is at an end.—That ' they have scoured tlie country west of Irwin ton. I do not doubt thaplhe news is true. I have just learned that Neah iiiathlo, was decoyed off by some friendly Indians, and given into the hands of Gem Jessup. Extracts of another letter, from a private ofthe same company : “Camp Geokuia, June IGtli, 183 G. We have just received intelligence ofa bat tl'l fought between the Alabamians, and Jim Henry, which is said to have been fought yes- I terday about thirty miles below this place— die report is, that tlie Indians were badly whipped, and their town limned, but I can’t ! say dial <l;e report is true,—although it was ex pected that they would have a battie yesterday ‘ —1 hope it may be true. Il is also said that I Neah-Micco and one hundred warriors Lave given themselves up—ls these i eports be true, we shall soon end tlie Creek Campaign. “June 17th, 173 G. Tlie 2d Regiment to vviticli I belong, have elected Williamson, oi’Newton county, Colo nel ; Augustus Beall of \\ arren, Lieutenant Colonel; Cooper of Newton, Major ; George V. Neal of Warr.-n, Seargeant Maj.; and Chapman F. 3’addux, Clerk.” Should it bo true that tlie Indians are about to cease hostilities, and surrender to the autho rities of the Government, tlie question then ari ses, howare they to be dealt with? We answer: let the guilty be punished—let signal vengeance fall upon tlie heads of all who, as principals or ' accessories, have been concerned in file murder of our fellow-citizens, or the destruction of their property. 'Die balance should be forthwith marched to their destination beyond the Mississippi, without a moments delay ; but none should escape tiie punishment of death who have been aiding or | abetting in the outrages recently committed I upon the whites. On Thursday morning last a portion of the troops attached to the service of tlio U. S. Marine Corps under the command of Col.’A. Henderson passed through this place. And on Sunday evening two companies of Ar tillery—all for the Creek Nation. The bal ance of the Marine Corps are expected daily. GOVERNOR SCII LEY— The Army. The avidity vvitit which a portion of the op position seize tlie temporary delay of our forces J ! at Columbus, to excite a prejudice against the ' . Governor, is in perfect keeping witli tiie spirit ' of restlessness and discontent which has mark ed their course from 1832, to tlie present hour. When people are resolved to be dissatisfied— I when detraction and fault finding become a di - ease, nothing is more incurable. Such cases; arc prevalent now in our country. No matter i j what tlie Governor does, lie cannot please them. ! The deiay of the army for a short time, is all charged to his account. 'Die want of armsand ammunition is asetibed to his want of energy, andevt ry difficulty m liich occurs in the progt. of tlie campaign, is laid at his door. But tlie people of Georgia are too eniigbt cned and too liberal to be hood-winked by such means. They are too shallow for the minds of well informed and generous men, and in spite of all the contrivances of iiis adversaries, Governor Schley will receive the applause due to his prompt and vigorous measures in the pending war with the Creek Indians It is now about six weeks, since hostilities ! commenced, and in that short period he has ordered out, marched to the places of rendez j vous, and organized an army of near five thousand men, many of whom have marched from one, to two hundred miles; and ail this force was put in motion upon iiis own responsi bility, without waiting for orders from tiie Gen eral Government. He foresaw that war was ' inevitable, and like a good sentinel he sounded tiie alarm and summoned his men to the field. i But for tiie arms and accoutrements of war, ' * lie was compelled to lot;!; to the United States. I Our own Ar enals and Magttzines were near- J iv cx!:'".tsled in the Florida Campaign, and ii. furni liing supplies for the protection of our own frontier; consequently many of our troops ' reached their rendezvous unarmed, I.ecause the state had it not in her power to supply them. Vnticipating tliis stalo of things, the Governor ’ (■.iminuuicated the facts to tlie foderal autliorities, i and arms and ammunition were forwarded with out delay, and we entertain no doubt, tliiit i before lliis day, the whole army is pioperh I equipped. Is there a similar case on record? Last win ’ ter, a heavy requisition was made upon Geor gia fora force to march to Flonda. That force I was raised as it were by magic, and marched to , i (lie scene of war. They were armed at the 1 State’s Aiscmd as loit‘ r as a ffun lit fur service ’ ■ coidd be I. In tit • mean time the appre hensions of our citizens on the Creek bordei . were daily increasing, aiid the demtuid for arms and ammimition, commea .arate with the alarm. Active measures were taken to.collectjtnd im pair the arms oi' tlie St ile, and wfiggpii.'load as ( f ter wag on load, were sent to the most exposed points,imtii there veto none left to arm the for /1 ces called out aeuku.t the Creeks.

No I [J.. lu i t!:e.' the funds nor the |cgal authority to pur chase arms, uni moreo'.eg the war on our part is not a Slale w ir, hat a Unite I States war. ' They aro bound to furnish arms, ammunition ' provisions and all other necessary supplies, and I according to the strict letter of tlie Guv< t iers duti ;, tjl that devolved upon him, was to order into . ice the immb rof men required, i sivc ing the United Slates to arm, equip, f c J ;H id command them.

Already has one press, politically opposed to the Governor, expres-ed a high sense ot' apm,.- haiion, and paid a just tribute to ids conduct in the present crisis. Tho Columbus Enquirer, located upon the spot, where the conduct of the Govern, r can be best seen and appreciated, bears ample testimony to the •zeal and patriotism wiiicli he ir.is dis played in the public service, while others more remote and less liberal, aro pouring out their vials oi' wrath upon his bead. But we need not vindicate Governor Schlev ; for his effi( imit and patriotic bearing in rela tion to the Creek war arc well known to Itis fel low-citizens whowiilduly appreciate tbeir value. MICHIG ’.X AND YRK INSAS.
