We learn (ia s the Peterfbnrg Intelligencer) that VVadi Hampton has religned his commiffion as brigadier general in die army of the United Stales. The caufe which is underilobd to have produced the

relignation of gen Hampton has grown out ol cii cumltances occurring at Fredericktown, hi the cafe ol gen. Vv'Ukinfon, and which, as we have heard them, are as follows : General Wdkinfon requited of the court martial the attendance of col. Cuibing as a vvituefs in his behalf; and the court accordingly illued their fumir.eus for his appearance before them colonel

i Cnihing, however, was under ar-

reit by the orders of gen.' Hampton and the latter politicly refilled to releafe him application was. then made to the feeretary at war, and he (by the prelident's command, iiin d his mandate lor the appearance ot col. Cuihmg before the court martial at Frederick townGeneral Hampton then perceived the inellicaey of further relillance, and viewing the interference of the

vvar department as a irtual releafe

of col. Cuibing from lns arrell, thought proper to tender his tornmillion to the executive. Indians We have learned from a gentlemen jull arrived from Tenneilee, that the United States ti oops employed in cutting a road from the Mufele Shoals to Fort Stoddart, hrCe been attacked by a party of the Cherokee Indians. Our informant hates, that lie tinderflood fecn:eeft ol the whites were ivilled, and the remainder inHandy dilpeifcd. We lbould not be iiuprifed to find, that this act ol the Cherokecs has proceeded not only h orn the oppolition to the opening of the road through their tciritory; but alio from a determination to co-operate with the northc rn Indians m their waihke expedition' aaini! tiie whites. There is no do:dt but tii .t Tecundeh has made eerv ellurt in his late vilit among the louthern Indians, to lour t!;c;r mmds agajnlt us, ar.d it is polidde that his exertiens may liave lucceeded to a very couliderablc extent.
