Strong cllorts arc being made to divide

divide said.countv, as nearly through the ecu

objection to such a division, as then the. thre

intelligence as to the state of things on the In

that a war with the to and their savsre allies

is unavoidable.

Col. White, the delegate to congress from

Florida, who is mentioned below a having

brought to Charleston the news of the murders,

vVc. by the Creek Indians, has arrived at llew

York in the Wm. Gibbons, and will proceed

immediately to Washington.

Col. While has sentan express to gen. Scott,

and made an appeal to the governors of South Carolina and Georgia to send mounted men to Tallahassee and the Florida line, to save Mid

The government have an awful account of

responsibility to answer to the country, for this

most disgraceful Indian and servile war.

Tallahassee is a healthy country for milita

ry operation in summer. Abundant supplies can be had from New Oilcans. We hope these states will not wait for the formality of a requisition from a United States ollicer. This is no time for useless formality. The whole

soulh must sec that this war is to be termina

engers who arrived at Augusta, the night be

persons lied to Columbus for protection.
