ons for their depredations upon the whites.
In August last, it was very well ascertained that
they were the authors of several murders committed
upon the white inhabitants of the frontier. A pa-
tient endurance of suffering is always regarded by
the Indians as an indication of weakness, and is sure
to produce a repetition of the insult or injury. Ge
neral Gaines demanded that the murderer should be
given up: it was answered with taunt and defiance,

of war was premature: the troops we had in the

were inefficient. to meet them in fair conflict. T. e
Indians assembled, attacked a boat ascending the ri-
ver, captured it, and put to death forty pet sons cczn-
posing its crew.
General Gaines made a second call upon Georgia
for 2.)00 men for six months. They assembled at
Hartford. General Jackson was now authorized to
accept the services of 2000 Tennessee volunteers, to
• call out the friendly Indians, and to take the field
himself. With his accustomed activity, he rapidly
organized the..e men for service, and giving them or-
ders to concentrate at Fort Scott, he proceeded to
Hartford. aid placing himself at the head of the
Georgia Militia, moved them towards the same point.
General Jackson had in vain endeavoured to pro-
cure provisions for his Three: and.a correct idea may
be formed of the intreiiid cart of his character, from
the circumstance of his starting with 2000 men on a
march of ten days, through a wilderness, when his
only means of sub,isteace was a daily pint of corn for
each man, and when he well knew that on his arri-
val at Fort Scott he could obtain but a very scanty
supply. At Fort Scott General Jackson fraud the
regular troops and fiiendly Indians.

General Jackson advanced into the Indian country,
de•'royed their villages, and entering Florida, took
possession of St. Mark's.
The Indians fled before him, and the Spaniards
dared not oppose his progress. The State of Gent%
gia affords but lew of the necessaries for the subsis-
tence of an army, and the face of the country in
which General Jackson operated abounded with in-
vincible impediments to transportation in wheel ear.

troops—subsisting upon a pint of corn—marching
titrough swamps and morasses, wading creeks, and
sleeping on the wet ground, without shelter— were
privations endured from motives of the purest pa-
triotism, and in which the General participated Equally
with the meanest soldier in his army.

General Jaason was now about to move, his
troops from Florida, when he discovered that the
Governor of Pensacola, instead of exerting himself to
fulfil the treaty existing between the United States
and his King, by which he :vas bound to protect OW
citizens front savage; within his duminioin, had
basely violated the Spanish faith, and protected, en-
couraged, and furnished with the means of war, a
worthless band, at the same time laying wage the
frontier ofthe Alabama territory, and waging a war
of destruction against the. most lovely and most kno-
cent part of our population.
The opposition of the Spanish troops was ill-
calculated to occasion a display of the full devotion
of the Anserican army. The Governor retired at
their approach, and shutting himself up in the Bz-
rancas, declared his deternmtation not to surrencler.
