The Creek War At An End.—We have been kindly favored with the following extract of a letter, from a source in which the most implicit confidence may be placed.

"COLUMBUS, (Ga.) Sept. 25.

"I believe the war may now be considered at an end. All the emigrants are on their way, except the Creek volunteers. Upwards of 14,000 have lately gone, which with what were sent before, make about 19,000. Between 700 and 800 warriors have gone to Florida, leaving their families here, which increases the sum to 22,000. About 100 warriors have been killed by the Georgians, which will nearly account, they say, for the notion.

Lark has been selected to command a regiment of Creek Volunteers raised by Gen. Jesup, under the 10,000 Act, by authority of the President. He has used a great deal of energy, and shown much talent. Jim Boy and Paddy Carr, and other influential Chiefs accompany him. He is Colonel you know. He went down the river last Wednesday with his whole company, organized at Dog Island, at the mouth of the Appalachicola—and will be placed by Steam Boats from thence either at the mouth of the Withlacoochee or Suwannee. The Tennessee Volunteers, (1500 mounted) went into Florida some time since, as you know; have passed through Tallahassee, and were expected to attack the enemy at Newnansville yesterday.

But the great hope of closing soon the campaign, I believe is founded on the expectation that they will be able through several Chiefs who have been selected with great care and pains for that purpose; who are to commence immediately after their arrival a negotiation with Jumper, and others to effect an arrangement with the enemy, and by a diplomatic arrangement to get the terms, which it seems so difficult to force them into with their muskets.

Gen. Jesup made last week a most rapid flight to Tallahassee and back, having had a talk with Gov. Call; since which he has determined to go home, and only waits for us to get the remainder of the stores and the portion of the Regulars, who are to go down the river. This we will effect in ten days. It is now determined to keep here five companies, and I have no doubt they will be of the 4th Regt. Artillery. The 3d and 1st will probably be off as soon as the boats return from taking the Indians down. Five companies of Alabama troops were to have been here to watch any stragglers that might remain in the swamps, &c. and the Marines were to march home. But they (the Volunteers) have not appeared. I believe the General has ordered them (the Marines) however to go with the exception of two companies under Col. Freeman. They have been a very subordinate and orderly set of fellows, and have gained a good name—but are about as sick of soldiering as anybody."

LATER FROM FLORIDA.

By the Steam Packet John Stoney, Captain Freeland, from Jacksonville, we have received the following letter and slip from our attentive correspondent.

Extract of a Letter to the Editor of the Georgian, dated
JACKSONVILLE, (E. F.) Sept. 28.

"Gov. Call, with between 1800 and 1900 men, consisting of the Tennessee volunteers and the citizen soldiers of Mobile and West Florida, was to cross the River Suwannee on Monday or Tuesday last. The Governor intends marching immediately for the Nation.

"Gen. Jesup, with 1000 regulars and 600 Indians, is either at Tampa Bay or the mouth of the Ocklocknee.

A Jacksonville, (E. F.) paper gives an account of some further Indian depredations committed by small bodies of marauders, but no fighting in the field."
