Sept. 3, 1 8 17. INDIAN AFFAIRS. We learn from our southern papers, that the assemblage of the Creeks at Fort Hawkins, in July, amounted to between fourteen & fifteen hundred ; and many were prevented from attending by the inconvenience of leaving their crops at that important period of the season. The conduct of the

Indians at this council, it is said, was marked with great propriety and decorum. The principal chiefs dined every day with General Mitchell, the United States' Agent, and in the afternoon executed the points which had been previously discussed and decided upon in councij. At this meeting, we are informed that the United States' Agent had sufficient influence to prevail on the Council to abrogate their ancient law of retaliation, which permitted a murder to be satisfied by taking the life of a relation of the murderer, if the principal could not be found ; and have thus forbidden the practice of indiscriminate revenge. Ononis point they have passed a written law. The Agent also procured their consent to the cession of a piece of land which shuts them out entirely from a part of our frontier and secures the citizens from the danger of Indian aggression. The day the United States' Agent left them -an unfortunate affair occurred. The Indians having received a considerable sum of money from the United States, some of the younger warriors detcrmined to have a frolic, before they went home. A principal warrior, or e who was next in command to M'Intosh, in the service under Gen. Jackson, among others got drunk and killed his own nephew. rj he chief immediately convened, and after ascertaining the fact of the murder, they ordered the perpetrator to be instantly taken and executed, which was done in less than an hour after the murder had been committed.
