following Statement of hostile ahhearan-
ceS among the Indians:
"Fhe Prophet and party, consisting of

noes and Piankashaws, arrived here on
the 18th instant on visit to see their new
and good father as they called him.
" The Prophet held out pacific doctrins
to the agent, disclaiming every thing like
hostility towards his white brothers he
requested the agent to pay no attention to
news of a contrary import, as it might in
terrupt his great and good intentions to
maintain peace. Yet while he was lullinr
the agent into belief of the rectitude of his

A friend has favored us with the follow
ing extract of letter from Col. Hawkins
dated Greek agency, Isl august, 1912.
"Our Indians continue tie fulfil their pro-
misses of satisfaction. They have executed
SIX OF the murderers, and are still exertinp
themselves to punish Others They have
cropped and whipped FIVE, and are now lee
turing the Uchees. Our idlers who tool,
the talk of the Prophet are likely to be made
examples of. They danced and PLAYED ball
on their corn, moved into the old town. to
wait the dissolution of the world, theirtown
excepted. and to be fed from Heaven with
out any eSertion of theirs. They notified
me OF this. replied, did not object 20
their pursuing their own judgment, and be-
ing led in the way they had chosen. That
had made war on murderers and thieves
and il they came Under either denomina-
ton, they would be punished. Their faith
lasted fortnight, they relapsed, and the
hrst caught was cropped and whipped"
Letters from Florida as late as the 9th
instant have been received in town. Thev
state that about one hundred and fifty of me
Volunteers IN conjunction with few of the
nted States regulars and company of
the Patriots, were actually on their march
against the Seminoles, who it is said are
becoming troublesome TO orr frontier set
tiers. If this be the fact-if the Indians
are really assuming hostile and mena
cling attitude towards us, by all means let
them suffer for their temerity. Journal
