We arejn great ajarm here ; the frontier settlers are leaving their little farms, and are com ing into our neighborhood. We are building a strong fort at Mount Repub lic -Brown, Davis and myself, are talk ing about picke ing-in bur houses,' and some of.our neighbors propose to assist us. A report reached here this ,rnorp. ing, that Tate had returned, from Pen sacola, and states that the party of In dians mentioned in Judge Toulmin's let ter had applied to the governor for arms and ammunition, and produced tbo .let ter from Canada; but .the Governor re fused, saying the Spanish government W4S at. peace .vith ours ; Tate1 adds that the Creek -Prophets were with them, and encouraged them not to despair, and ensure them success with the War Club, it they could not get ammunition.
