Direct from the Indian country.
The
Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, of the 6th instant, says:
‘
We learn from
Mr. George M. Aird, direct from the Seminale agency, that Opothleyoholo had collected together about 4,000 or 5,000
Indians, and about 1,300 negroes, who had gone to him with the hope of being freed — When
Gen. Cooper, at the head of the
Creek,
Choctaw and
Chickasaw regiments, with other
Indians, amounting to near 5,000, advanced upon Opothleyoholo's camp, his followers fled, leaving all behind.
Opothleyoholo left with a few followers, and has either gone to Salt Plains, or to
Kansas Most of his followers are with
Col. Cooper, and he has a very large Indian force now with him Col
Cooper sent a man after Opothleyoholo, but he had not come in when
Mr. Aird left.--All is quiet now.
The
Seminotes have all the time remained firm friends to the
South.
