It is composed of two select companies of the 7th infantry, and three companies of Rangers. The officers are Lieutenant Col. Many, Commander; Major Young, Lieut.

Lieutenants Pente. cost, Watson, Caldwell, and Ury. The officers belonging to the Rangers are all at their posts, except Lieut. Steens, who is engaged by the Commissioners in running the line West between the Creeks and Cherokees, in accordance with their treaty stipulations of the 14th February last. He will join the command somewhere on the waters of the Canadian, after having completed the duties assigned him. Lieut. Watson, of Washing. ton City, is the only officer oppointed to the new Dragoon corps, that has yet arrived. Lieut. Seawell declines accepting the appointment tendered him in that corps; preferring his present rank in the infantry. An end must be put to the shipping of gunpowder, but in such way as shall obviate all danger.
