At the last date the "Nation's Guest" was in Alabama. On passing the Creek country, he was welcomed by the Indians in their best manner. On crossing the Chattahoochie, he was received by the tribe, with Chilly McIntosh, at their head, with a concert of yells. Having taken a horse from a sulky, they drew the General up the bank of the river; then formed themselves, in a circle, and went through their ceremonies, amusing him with a play-ball, which lasted an hour. The General appeared much pleased, and the whole was very amusing to those who never before witnessed such odd scenes. He was here met by the Alabama escort, commanded by General Taylor, and addressed by Mr. Bibb.
