Accounts from our Southern frontier state, that major Muhlenberg, who was ascending the Flint river with three vessels, having on board a detachment of United States' troops, provisions, &c. was attacked thirty miles below Fort Scott by twelve hundred Indians and negroes, on the 16th ultimo. When the express left, which was on the 18th, the firing from both parties continued; at which time major Muhlenberg had three men killed and thirteen wounded; but there was not the least apprehension of any of the vessels being taken that were under his command. The troops so defended themselves in the vessels, from the enemy, that they were perfectly safe. No man was killed or wounded except when in the act of warping or casting anchor. Captain M'Intosh, who commanded a post twelve miles from Fort Scott, with forty men, was attacked on the 15th ultimo, by between 2 and 300 Indians—Captain M. defeated them without losing a single man, and has since been relieved. There had also been a skirmish between the friendly and hostile savages, in which the chief of the former was killed, in consequence of which a number of the party under his command are said to have deserted and joined the hostile Indians.

Nat. Int.
-FROM THE SOUTH.

The latest news from the theatre of Indian war on our Southern border, is of a more serious aspect than could be wished. On the 12th inst. the Governor of Georgia received an express from Major General Gaines, apprizing him officially of the events, which we have heretofore mentioned, of the attack on Major Muhlenberg's boats, &c. and requiring from the Governor a further detachment of four battalions of Infantry and four companies of Riflemen, to assemble at Hartford on the first day of next month, prepared for a three months tour of duty in the service of the United States. With this requisition, the Georgia Journal informs us, it is the intention of the governor to comply, as far as practicable; but that four companies of riflemen cannot be furnished, because it is not believed there are so many in the state, and it will be impossible to organize and march even the infantry as early as the first of next month.
There appears to be a great reluctance on the part of the militia to turn out, a draft having to be resorted to in almost every instance.
