day capturing .a squaw or two, and a few children and
negroes; and in the mean time some wag has penned
the following:—
Hurrah for our lads of the sabre and trigger
In history's ages they'll make a great Egger,
No heroes on record were braver or bigger,
They've captured three children, two squaws, and a
nigger.
From an officer of the army, we learn the there -
are not probably more, on a fair estimate, than
ninety warriors left in the territory of nor ida. A
portion of these. under Sam Jones and the :Prophet,
are now in the *Everglades—the rest, under
Tustenuggee, and a Creek chief, Oteaka, whose
name now, for the first time, we believe, is entered
upon the military annals, are at present in thr cove
of the Withlacooche. Col. Worth has planned the
most judicious attack upon this strong-hold if the
enemy, mid the I.sth of April was the tray fixed upon
tin: the assault, which will be made by six diCerent
columns of troops, who will concentrate from as .many
different directions.

We have intelligence from St. Augustine to the
16th inst. inclusive. Nothing important had trans-
spired connected with the campaign.
Colonel Harney arrived at St. Augustine the :13th
inst., and reported himself for duty. his health had
greatly improved. On landing he was greeted with
hearty and spontaneous huzzas from a large crov rd of
citizens.

Some corn fields and vegetables near Fort Pierce
had been destroyed by a scouting party. Fresh bo-
dies of Indians were discovered at the south. El -cry
day, says the St. Angustine News, adds to the 'con-
viction that the only effectual mode of puttin g an
end to the war, is for the Commander-in-eh; of to
offer a bounty for every Indian. This, that paper
adds, would bring into the field the Western hun tens,
and gave security to the numerous settlements or the
East.

A company of regulars had fallen upon a small
body of Indians between the Apalachicola and Olock-
nee rivers, killed three, and taken two children.
• Indians had come into Middle Florida, and in the
course of their depredations killed two negroes„ and
one soldier, and wounded others.
MATRIMONY AND MURDER.---We copy the fol-
lowing from the La Grange (Tenn.) Gatherer:—
" We are pained to learn that on Thursday even-
ing last, a most horrible transaction took place in
this county, nine or ten miles from this place,
which resulted in the death of David Jarnegan, and
the wounding of several other persons. The gene-
ral facts u e will state as we heard them. It ap-
pears that a Mr. Morgan had arranged a matrimo-
nial elopement with a daughter of the deceased,
which with the aid of friends, was accomplished
on Thursday ; the parties having repaired to a
house in the neighbourhood where the marriage
ceremony was legally performed. Upon learning
the fact of the elopement, Jarnigan became very
indignant, and determined to go in pursuit. Taking
a, few friends, he soon reached the house where the
Marriage party was assembled. We learn that he
-forced the door, and entered, when an attack com-
menced, in which the deceased received several
wounds, which produced his death early yesterday
gunning. Some-others were wounded ; among them
J. F. Simmons, who we understand is seriously, if not
dangerously injured. With the deceased we were
‘vell acquainted. He Was a wealthy planter, and pos-
sessed many fine points of character. His untimely
end is much regretted by his numerous friends."

EMIGRATION TO OREGON.—A meeting has been
Held in the western part of Missouri, for the purpose
of organizing a company to emigrate to the Oregon
territory. Thirty were enrolled, and pledged them-
selves for the expedition. A committee was appointed
to visit the neighbouring counties for the purpose of en-
listing others in the enterprise. The emigrants take
their families with them, and look forward to a par- -
mitnent settlement beyond the Rocky Mountains.
We notice these movements, since they aro indi-
cations of the times worthy to be noted. Oregon
will soon be brought under a territorial Government,
mid will be recognised as a part of the -United States,
just as lowa and Wisconsin are. Mr. Senator Linn
has not succeeded yet, we believe, in getting his Bill
through Congress,. lint he may be sure of success in
l the end. If Great Britain, in recerenee to the Oregon '•
country, pursues the procrastinoting course which
she -sometimes adopts in her dipk'matic manoeuvres,
the result svill be that the question and the country
will both be settled at once, without any trouble to
her amba,sadors.
13oz IN ST. Louis.—The Box Soiree 6` came off'
on the 13t1r inst. We take the following, :relative to
it, from the St. Louis Gazette of the 14th.—The
soiree last evening, at the Planter's House, hi honour
of Mr. Dickens, was attended by about 300 p srsons ;
and is admitted to have been one of the most elegant
and agreeable parties ever given in that Hall.. In
the absence of undue thrmality. and . embarrassing
restraint, all seemed to feel perfectly at their ewe,
and to enter cordially into the spirit of the occasithn.
Mr. D. himself was highly gTatifled, and has fro-
quently expressed the pleasure he has derived fromt
the attentions paid him West of the Mississippi.
The Indian Council, held last week, resulted in th,,
unanimous adoption of air agreement, intended- to be
the basis of a new treaty, that, it is hoped and be-
lieved, will be entirely satisfactory to all parties
interested. The Council for the making of the new
treaty will be held on the 16th of next May. About
eighty chiefs, headmen and warriors. were present
at the late Council. Uninterrupted by a crowd. of
otlicionS interested white Wren, they • manage4.thvir
affairs according to there ow► . stiki*itions oi!'rlkht.
The fullest explanations were given and received, all
past differences were forgotten, friends and relatives
who had been estranged in consequence of the un-
happy disputes of the past few. years 'became ri Ton-
ciled, and the result augurs
,well for the interests of
our city, the welfare of the md men, and the cause! of
humanity. In anticipation of the treaty so soon to
be made, it is not deemed expedient to give publicity
to the agreement entered into, but•we can assure our
readers it is such as all must approve.—Bn,fia/o Co. ~

CANADA.
All seems quiet and comfortable in this quarter or
the globe. Governor Begot has left Kingston to lay
the foundation of a college at Toronto—thence he
proceeds to Halifax, where he expects to meet his
wife. The Toronto papers contain long and glow-
ing accounts of his arrival there, and say it was
the most brilliant affair ever, witnessed in British
America. Sir George seems to be a great favourite.
Lord Sydenham has left his property, by will, to
his brother Pwilett Scrope, ALP. He has a large
landed property in Canada that cost him nothing..
It will be sold in farms, and the cash sent to London.
The miserable fool Hogan, it seems,, after all, had
nothing to do with the burning of the Caroline, and
is now treated as a puppy by all parties. Mr. Hill,
Mayor of Rochester, has addressed a letter to Mr.
Counter. Mayor of Kingston, on the Hog-an case, to
assure Mr. Counter that there is a good feeling tere
towards a steady continuance of commercial inter-
course—that Mr. Hogan was treated with great ten-
derness—but that his visit was a matter of regret.
So far so good. Trade is improving, and every-
thing seem, tolerably smooth in Canada.
