 P. $. 1t is not now known what number of the Creeks will emigrate this year. But, from the best information received, it is con- fidently expected that large emigration will take place--not less than five thousand The greater portion of which will, in all prob- ability, remove early the coming spring. Over five hundred of the above tribe are now on the way. and will reach their new country oarly Tn February next, 1886. J. B.
