UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER OF THE CREEKS.
Observer office, Decatur, July 1st, 1836.
It is with pleasure that we present the patrons of the Observer, with the highly gratifying intelligence of the surrender of the Creek Indians to General Jesup. We received our information of a gentleman who arrived in Decatur this morning from Huntsville, who heard a letter read which was written by Gen. Patterson to his brother in Huntsville, and was received in that place yesterday the 30th ult. The hostile Indians had all come in to Gen. P.'s camp with the exception of one or two hundred who were expected in soon. Those that had already surrendered amounted to ten or twelve hundred. The war is now considered as closed, and there is but little doubt that those who so generously tendered their services as volunteer soldiers to bring about this desirable result, will very soon be enabled to leave the field of arms and return to their friends.
