The organization of this force was for the purpose of guarding the fron tier from Indians who had become trouble some, and to follow a band of plundering lo ries who were lying out in the Blue Ridge, making incursions irom time to time upon the lives and pi perty of patriots living in the sorronndim country. The forces, after cross ing New ri\er at Barnard's Ferry to Flower (Jap. went to Threeforks of said riv#r,scout iug the country in their march. They were successful in surprising some bands of lories in their camps, besides capturing a number of them.

He was at the sieg.- and surrender of Charleston, and a spirited engagement at Ruf ton's swamp, with ac tnsiderable band oi to ne* and molattoee, which resulted in captur ing thirty of them and seventy horses. Soon after orders were received from CoL Rutber :, trd to join him, which they did, .tear Wil mington": but the British having tied fron that region, he returned home. However, they were almost immediately called upon to march Kl'ear and thence to Rnfton's Bwamp, band of tories had gathered under the c of a man named Fletcher.

Clark, in command of the forces South of them, to form v junction with those from Virginia. Alter punishing the In dians, by destroying the villages of Temolely and Big Island, and concluding a treaty with them, the force:, divided, and Howard was stationed at Blaekamore Fort, on Clench river, during the remainder of his term ot service. In 3 one, IT7~, he enlisted for three yars in an expedition against the Indians in Kentucky, and to the Wabash river, (dividing Illinois from Indiana,) under Col. John Montgomery. The forces rendezvoused at Long Islands, and in boats descended the river to Tennessee river, and thence op to the Mississippi, passing thy month of theOhio,to an old town settled by the French, three miles up the Kaskaskia ri\er, in the western part of southern Illinois.— Here the assembled forces, under the command of Colonel ( at terwards General) George R< gera Clark,were marched toVlncennes, and men bach to Illinois river, and remained there un til 177(1, when Howard, with others, was trans ferred to a little fort at the Yellow Banks, on the Mississippi river, some four miles below the mouth of the Ohio. Remaining there un til Angus', of that year, he was then sen: up the Ohio to the '-Falls," now called Louisville, where Gen. (.'lark had gone with most ot the army—the Indians having been,a.-, was thought, completely subdued by him. In 1780 the set tlers at the "Falls," being much harassed by Indians, he wns detailed for duty at trial place. Soon after, the Indians captured Martin and Kiddle's station. During the summer of 1789 General Clark was recalled to Miami to chas tise the Indians in that region of the country, who were very troublesome by committing various depredations upon the settlements, and fought a battle n Peccoways plain, not far from the spot where, in 177t», the Indians had compelled a detachment of Keatockians to retreat. After the defeat of the Indians they remained comparatively iiuiet During these se\eral campaigns, the men composing the expedition having to march through a new and but scattered settled country, to cross rivers, peuetra'e s wain pst and camp in the wilderue-s, were exposed to great hardships and priva tions from the inclemency of the seasons and the want of regular supplies of provisions, besides the fatigues arising lrom scouting and skirmishing, protect themselves and the in habitants lrom the subtle attacks of the In diana, urged and incited as they were by the emissaries of the British Government. How ard was born in Georgia in 1758, and lived in M"iit;; ornery connty, Virginia, about thirty years. Since the Itevoluiion he resided some •even years i:i KuoX county, Kentucky, and then in that portion of Floyd which is now Perry county. John Keeton was born in and draughted from Spotsylvania county, Va., in June, 1780, and sent under the command of Colonel Stub bhlield. in General Utevens' brigade, to rein force General Gates in the South. At Hills boro', N. C, their captain havinc been dismiss ed, Lieut. Holliday was elected to till his place. In August they joined General Gates at Kugebj's (or ltusseil's) Mills, near Camen, in the night, after a forced march of eighiet n days and nights. As they marched into camp the picket guard of the opposing armies were firing at each other, and was the prelude to ihe regular battle which commenced with the daws of day, when General Gates was de feated by Lord Corn wallis. Captain Holliday wa* severely wounded, and was seen by Kee ton in their retreat, but so closely followed by their enemies no assistance could be rendered to him. He must either have died from his wounds or have been helplessly slaughtered by the British, as be was not heard from after wards. In another tour of service he was at the siege and surrender of Yorktown in 17-1, which practically ended the hostilities between the twocouutriee. Anthony Phelps, while living in Bucking bain county, Virginia, in 1??7, at the age ot fif teen years, was one oliitteen or twenty, under ('apt. Richard May, who volunteered for the defence of the Stale, and were dispatched to Boones borough, Kentucky, where they arrived in November of that year, and were employed on the banks of a river in erecting a fort, un der the command of Col. Daniel Boon. . In August, 177P, the fort was attacked by a horde of Shawnee nnd other tribes of Indians, who surrounded it for eleven days, nine of which, as well as during the uigut, consisted of luces-

sunt fighting He remained at the fort until I February, Y179, acting as a lunger cad spy.— Ahonl this time some men lrom the'"Falls." or ] Louisville, coming to Hoonesborough for corn, I lie, with four others, accompanied then' on their return.

In 1782, assisted, under the command Of tjapt. Jac I, Van Metre, Capt. Owen having been killed by the Indians previous to the return from the | Iron Hank-, in erecting another garrison at the "Falls." George Rogers, born in Fauquier county, i Virginia, was draughted lrom there into Cap tain Francis Triplett'a company and rendez voused at the Oourt-Huaae. By wayof Rich mond, Va., ami llillsb ro' and Salisbury, N. C, theynurcbed to New Providence old rii i Is, South Carolina, and joined the main army of Gen. Morgan. At Rugeby Mills in an engage meat with the toriee, captured 160 prisonersv— (was in the battle of Oowpeua, and served everal scouting partus.

Joining Gen. Washington's commend, the army was moved forward to invest Yorktown, where Lord Oornwailia waa fortifying the town, in antici- I lion of their approach. Rogers continued with tin-army through the siege and surrender ol the place, when he was detailed as a guard to the prisoners, on their way to Winchester Barracks, and remained there jh duty until discharged.

ArsTiN, Texas, Dec. 1, 1859. 7'e W«j Excellent}, the President of tkt Unit 7 States : — Sin: Having recently observed, from the pa pers which have reached thia distant region, that the discovery of the correspondence oi John Brown has disclosed my former connec tion with him as Secretary ol State, under the "Provisional Constitution," adopted at Chat ham, O. W., May loth, 1858, 1 have thought it my duty to state to yoa thai while I have had no connection either with Bi own oranyol his party since the beginning of June, IKB, ami no knowledge of the resuscitation ol the organ!- Si which died out at the period of, and in quence of my defection therefrom, and ugh I have, since my return from Europe pril la-t, resided wholly in Southern I States, acquitting myself as a law-abiding I citizen. 1 yet am perfectly willing (by reason of my conviction that the organization and the insurrection were alike cruelly wcked,) to surrender myself either to the authorities of the United States or of the state oi Virginia, in order, if it fa? necessary, to suffer the penal ty ol my egregious folly. 1 have, since the date of the insurrection, been mice or twice dissuaded from offering myself as a witness, oa the ground that the violated majesty of the law was being amply and fully \ indicated. Hy reason, however, of the recently disclosed fact that the insurrection occurred aader th> auspicesof the "Provisional Constitution," 1 have determined, on account of the possibility that my connection with the dissolved organi sation ol May, l-"'-. may entail responsibilities on me in December, t?59, to express my wil lingness to expiate, to the last degree, the con sequences of my atrocious blunder. For'bis reason: that, whereas, when an Abolitionist, I would have diea in defence of my convic tions, so now, that 1 am a Southerner, lam also willing to die in proof of the sincerity ol ray present principles. If. therefore, the error of the pastinvolves mem present punishment, I am content to redeem such error by suffer ing such punishment. I reside in this city, from which 1 shall not absent myself until you have communicated your desires or decision in this matter. I have the honor to remain, sir, Your Excellency's most obi serv't, Richard Keai.k. A vefbatim copy of theabove has also been mailed to Gov. Wise, of Virginia. John T. Ai.kxanwck. Kkpoi.t or Nobthkbji Spies from tiii: Soith.—The rsew York correspondent of the Mobile Register, says: The Republican leaders here sent confiden tial agents in September to every Southern State, to examine into and report the extent of arms and ammunition in the South that could be nsi-d in .March. 1861, should Seward's taking his seat be opposed. A Copy of the leport was sent by nfliend in the- Sice of the Independent. 1 will merely mention what it contains in reference to Alabama, South Carolina and Georgia. The spies report thai the arms and ammunition IB Alabama is of no possible ac count. Of South Carolina he speaks in the most contemptuous terms, and contrasts the arms and supplies of the Federal Government and fortress with those of the State at Colum bia and at Charleston. He says there are not even rusty ransketa in the State sufficient to arm 100 men, and if there were, that the mus kets would explode and kill the holders. In Georgia, the spy says, there is a scarcity oi arm-, ant! of powder and *-hot ior the ordinary hunting done in the State. All the States ate repored, and if the report be true, were I in your Legislature, not a day should before v remedy was bad. 1 would create a perma nent supply, by legalizing manufactures of arms and of powder.

In the Mayor's Court yesterday morning: I Win. Hendricks, charged with the murder of I Thomas Johnston, passed examination and was sent on to the Hustings Court, which com mences Monday. The evidence elicited was substantially the same as given the preceding morning before the coroner's jury, with little variation, it is believed to be a clear case of murder in the first decree. No interesting particulars developed. The trial of the case seemed to create considerable interest, tin- Mayor's office being packed with persons who, no 'oubt, attended through curiosity. The prisoner did not seem to ha\e a friend, but exhibited the same cool indifference of v. huh he seemed posses-ed from the first. A young man front Mississippi, a student at Emory and Henry College, attempted to get on the cars on the Virginia and Tennessee Rail road on last Friday night, while in motion, but in so doing slipped and fell between the coaches, injuring himself in such a manner that it is supposed 'hat he will die. Name not ascertained. No blame attached to the em «s of the company, condition ot James Bradshaw, who, it recollected. \;.h stabbed in the arm on the2lst ult., by John O'Brian, is now consid ered precarious, and hi* recovery extremely doubtful. O Brian is .-mi in jail; his exami nation having been postponed with a view to have Bradshaw as a witness at the trial.
