Newspaper Page TextFrom the ( o:u abus Semi net, THE CREEK WAR, We consider at an end, an I the citizens ol the Indian country ol Alabama are retail ing lotheir plantations. Alter their mam sufferings and privations, there is still rea son to congratulate them on this event, as we most cordially do. Many we arc told will make hall a crop, or more, and it is ho- ' ped that m the aggregate, the planters m> that quarter may make enough, or nearly so, to last them until the succeeding crop is ! gathere I. Tnere area lew stragglinghos-! tiles, it is supposed, still tn the n ition, but' that country isno.v so well tilled with troops, marching and < o.iiiivrm irciiing in ail direc tions, togctinr aim a large body ol friend-1 ly Indians, th.l we are ol opinion there i.» little or nodauger to be apprehended from! the few liostiles w lio yet rem tin out. Tuev I will pass themselves off for l.iendiy Indians, and remain peaceable, wherever they have j an opportunity. Tne U.S. mail came through the nation by the direct route, and arrived here with-! out the least molestation. A stage also came through and arrived hereon Satur dy, bringing two la Ins a.id a number ol• gentlemen. Tuis stage met three corps ol j U. S. auJ Alabama troops at different sta-| tioiis along tne road. Anoluer mail kii ' for Mo.itgoaiery on Tuesd iy last. We mentioned in our last that Government had directed General Jessup to post bodies ol United Stales troops on the m.oi route as an escort f<>r the man thro’ the nation, vildcii! we consider will reader the mad entirely si-,’ cure. The infantry regiments of Georgia troops, . under the com ua.id ol M ijor General S m• 11 ford, have returned to Columbus ; and two ' t of them, the one under tne command ol , 1 Colonel Williamson an I the other under the I 1 command of Colonel Porter, have been I ‘ discharged. Tne reg.meat under the com- ’ maud of Colonel 11 irueui.m is still in this I ( viemitv and it is expected will be tlischur-! , ged in a few days. Captain Love with his company is at Fort 1 >'iggs, Major Alford i at R »auoke, and Coio.i. l Beall on the Cinvk asaiiatchee swamp in Baker county, Major 1 Hoxie is also souicw.iere below. The Co lumbus vo.u .leers, under the command iff Major Hoxie, went down l« reinforce Col onel Beall.—Tliese We believe are all tne Georgia troops uow in service, if we in clude a few militia companies from Early, Stewart, Decatur and Thomas counties, al-' so under the command of Col. Beall. The party ol Indians <f winch Col. Beall went in pursuit, are believed still to be in the Cliickasaliatvliee swamp, and Co lonel Beall is making daily efforts to drive ; them out. Tne follow ing account, taken from a let-! ter published in the Enquirer ol yesterday,; gives the most ciicumstuiiual account which i we have heard of Colonel Bead’s opera-! lions: “ I will, as far as I have been able to learn i them, give you some ol the particular.-, rela-I live to Colonel Beall’s light, in toe Cluck-i asawhatchie. After marching four miles i in mud and water from knee deep to neat i their waists, the advance guard discovered I the enemy’s tents pitched on dry ground, i and such being tneir eagerness lor iig.-it, they cracked away at an Indian who cliun ced to be walking down to the water to wash bis hands.— L’nis alarmed the w;ioi« camp, and they rushed out ami comm.meeu a regular fire at uur men, behind Hie cover of trees, &c. led on by a chief, who did al. thathecuuld do to cm out age his men, un til an unerring ball from a deadly rale, laid him prostrate upon the eann. The firing lasted about twenty minutes, when the charge was made and the enemy lied with precipitation, leaving 13 dead upon the field, and ample evidence of a much greater number being stain ; many were reen to be puked up and carried off; they were pursued for some distance. The Indians had 36 tents, and an incredible quantity of beef, bacon, horses sad dles, bridles, homespun, cooking utensils, tec. Ac:. all of wi.icii Jell into the hands of the vic torious whites. .Many rilles were also taken ; in a word, their wnoie camp equipage was la ken and destroyed by the troops. Tneir situa tion now is desperate. Tne whites had nine wounded, of winch one has since died, Mr. John H irdison of Eirly. Air. James Buchanan ol .this place, a gallant soldier, had bis thigh bro k n, but isdoing well. It is generally admitted, tliat if the advance guard had reserved their fire until the main body could have gotten up, every rascal of them would have been taken. As an evidence of their desire to light, when it I was necessary lor a guard to be placed over I the horses, during the absence of the troops,! the officers were compelled to detail men regu larly for that purpose, no one being willing to remain. After Buchanan tell, he called some men to him and begged them to hold him up, until he could shoot, but his gun had been wet and it woull not fire. Two dead Indians have been found since the battle, and some 25 or 30 horses and mules taken. Toe is from four to eight miles wide and fifteen miles long, with now and then a dry spot of earth, and in fested with Alligators, Bears, Wolves, &■■-. not | a human being, save the savage, lias ever ex- j plored it. It is impossible to say how many Indians there arc. Tom Carr's estimate is generally believ-d to be correct. He was iu the battle and fought gallantly—he numbers them at 390, there were at any rate, 36 cloth tents. Beall had 275. The Indians will now, without doubt, use every effort to escape, for their situation is, as I nave before state i, des perate. It is feared by some that they have al ready gone, if they have not, their time has well nigh drawn to a close, for the boys are mad and determined to have them. Beall lias now 300 men under his coinman.l, our battalion will aug ment that number to 500. It is believed, that yet a greater number of men will be neceswy to force the Indians from tne swamp, or to keep them in it." Indie above engagement Co. I Beall took from the camp of the Indians, a considerable quanti ty of amunition and provisions, and about three thousand dollars worth of goods, with entire pieces of homespun, calico, &.c. supposed tohave been plundered from the stores at Roanoke. The following additonal particulars we copy from the Herald : “ Besides the nine Indians actually killed, a friend who was attached to the "‘Bibb Caval ry” informs us that from the signs ol blood which were seen, he thinks a large number were badly wounded. Ol Col. Beall’s battal ion, six were severe!/ wounded and several others slightly ; one his since died. Mr. John Hardison, of Early cointy, formerly of Wash ington county ; Mr. Janes Bu< l.amin, of lort Gaines, was severely vounded in the thigh. “The troops of Baler, un<ier command of Colonel Holmes, and (rose of Decatur under command of Colonel Crawford, were stationed on the outer edge of thcswanqi to prevent es cape of the Indians, "huir conduct is spoken of in terms of high pra*st.

The manner in winch he has met the ciisis— i hiseneigy and zeal in ordering out uad orguu izi.ig forces forthe Seuiitiulc ana Creek cam paigns, are duly felt aud appreciated by his iclluw-citizcns. Bui lie did not stop there.—As soon as the necessary orders were issued, and ail the ar rangements consummated ter the movement and concentration el an adequate force upon the Creek border, he repaired \yilliout delay to Co lumbus, where he established ins head quarters, lor tue purpose of rendering every lacility to the organization of the aiiuy, caicmaieu to en sure a speedy and successful termination ol the contest; ana where be has been unremittingly enga o ed in promoting the best interests of his country —auu like a laiiliiul sentinel, he kept Ins post until all apprehension of danger hqd ceased. We very ninch regret that the Governer could nut succeed in getting possession of the notorious J.m Henry and Ins bloody associates, wiio have so inhumanly butchered eur fellow citizens. They have invaded our State—murt tiered our people, and destroyed tlieir pi eper ty, and with a knowledge of all these la-ts, General Jessup refused lo deliver them up to the authorities of Georgia to be punished, and it it is believed, has sent off a number, deeply in volved in guilt, to Arkansas, where they will escape that punishment so Joudly demanded by the blood of our slaughtered brethren. Demand after demand was made by Governor Schley for the offenders, and as often refused by Gen, Jessup, and after all the blood which has been shed and the labor aud privation which it has cost to subdue those miscreants, most of them we apprehend will be permitted to escape the just vengeance of our laws. Os all the liostiles who have been in the custody of General Je-- sup, with the exception of Jim Henry who has at length been given up to the authorities of Al abama, and is now confined in Jail at Gerard, re are not apprised of another instance in w hich a single offender is likely to be brought to punishment. This is all wrong, outrageously wrong, but it j affords us high gratification to know, ihat the Governor has done all in hispowerto prevent ib The people of Georgia demand the punish? ishment of those murderers—-justice demands it, and if General Jessup prevents it, the sin be upon his own head.

The opinion expressed for some days since, that the war was over, is every day confirmed and with the exception of the hostile party in Baker, and a few small bands, secreted in other places, we cannot believe there will be much more fighting. The party in Baker are hotly pursued, and must be overtaken and destroyed, and affords us great pleasure to learn, that the Baldwin Hussars, commanded by Cap-, Gaither, are in hot pursuit of the oul-laws, anx ious to avenge the blood of their countrymen. \From ihe ifew York American.'] The Bill fur Distributing ihe Surplus Fund.

To His Excellency, the Governor of Georgia, who has remained <;.n die frontier in orefer tp lend himself iu every way powerlqily to the prosecu iou of the War, the particular thanks of Major General Scott, are due. Before the Georgia iine could be mustered into service of the United States, ilis Excellency had made dispositions of his ar med troops, not only to protect his own frontier, but to prevent the escape of the cijemy iu the di rection of Florida. This was the great danger to be guarded against, and ail th it zeal aud ability could clieet on his pa ,- t, his been put tn practice and accomplished, It is hoped that this slight ac knowledgement made to the Chief Magistrate of •i powerful aud patriotic State, may not I,e deem ’d impertinent because coming from a military functionary-of the United States.

Darkness and desolation mark the spot where once it brightly shone,, and consternation reigns over all its satellites and supporters. Alas I Alas! Like the Judge’s organ so are bis own prospects destined to with er and to die, i*, indeed, they are not already dead. The Whigs-of V irgiuia are abandoning him to his fate; the “Sun” has given him and itself up.; and, most unkind of all, one of its editors threatens to make ”an exposition of the I whole concern and party !” If he should tell all the truth, the poor White Whigs will no doubt suffer. Ho pledges himself to lift the “curtain high enough to expose all party ma chinery attached to the Sun, and some strange devedopements of how great men are sometimes made.” How he redeems his pledge, we will endeavor to let our readers know hereafter.

Judge Longstreet—Candour-—Abuse—-Be- ; formation Finesse. In the Sentinel of the I7lh June, I find the following declarations ;—that he [Lacon] was engaged in a profound argument, which had reached the forty-sixth number, to show that the Columbus Herald was either got up, or at least patronized by uullifiers, ui some one else than Union men,” &.c. Judge Longstreet complains that Lacon and other wi'iteis, have not reported his recep tion of the Herald Is the above a specimen of/n's candor? Might it not be in fcred from the judges declaration, that I bad written forty-six numbers, to shew that the Herald was got up or patronized by uullifiers, &c ? Now the truth is, that 1 havu written on ly one number about the Republican Herald, &.C., besides the present, three about judge Longstreet, la those numbers, I am uncon scious of any want of candour, But, in the article before me, there is another specimen of l\w. judge's candor, “We believe,” says he, speaking of that portion of the Union Party who support Martin Van Buren, “we be lieve it is toiling io ruin the country." It is useless to give the numerous appellations of "simpleton—collar presses—kitchen cabinet, &,c, ‘See, with which Judge Longstreet’s editori-l a!s abound. It is perhaps useless to press tire charges so preposterously brought against the administra tion, of a settled design to involve the country in a war with France, &c. &c, Nor is it perhaps useful to dwell on the recent instance in which, speaking of the conduct ui Gov. Schley, he allows himself to say, “thi.- was pitiful, contemptible conduct on the part o! the Governor,” Judge Longstreet is so much in the habit of disparaging, and abusing his adversaries, that he may do so without being conscious of the fact. Bitt we might almost hope for a reformation. He has recently passed several compliments on those who differ from him in opinion; and, in his paper of the 10th June, wo hear jbim using the following language : **Let us commence the workpf reform ; and let it begin with the press. Let us of the Editorial corps become mote canr did and fearless than we ever have been.—- When we see praiseworthy conduct in a politi cal adversary, let us be the first to give him cre dit for it,” &c. Whether this apparent candor, this praiseworthy liberality, was intended to give effect to the invective contained in the ve? ry article from which the extract is taken, is fpr others to determine. Os one thing Judge Longstreet may feel as ; sured, that he cannot direct the public attention ■ to a matter of minor importance., to the exclusion j of the weighty matters which have been laid at his door. The course which I have prescribed to myself may prevent further attention to Judge Long stroet, except in my own time and .manner. LAP ON,. July Ist. 1836. THE MORMONS. A gentleman living in Loraine county, .Ohio., writes that a more extraordinary sect has not sprung up since the days of Mahomet. In the town of Kirtland they have erected a stone tem ple at an expense of S4O(OLy. • It is 60, by 80 feet broad, and 50 feet high. It has two rows of Gothic windows. The first floor is the place lof worship, with four rows of pulpits at each end, having three pulpits in a row. These 12 pulpits rise behind and above one another, and are designed, the uppermost row, for the bishop and his counsellors, the second for the priest and Ins counsellors, the third for the teachers, and the fourth or lowest fortlje deacons* Over ; the division between each of the rows of pulpits, i is a painted canvass, rolled up to the ceiling ; I and to be let down at pleasure, so as to conceal the dignataries from the audience, The area can bediylued into four apartments at pleasure to carry on the objects of imposture. The se cond and attic stories are for a theological and literary seminary., which is expected to have the ma.n a) labor system attached to if. The I mormons are very eager to acquire an educa tion, Pieri, women and children art! studying Hebrew.
