+ TuE SEMINOLE WAR.-The want of any
thing like regular communication with the
seat of war; keeps US in the most painful state
of suspense in regard to the operations Of tho
army. II must be admitted, that the numer-
Gus obstac les which are known to stand in tho
way of successful and speedy termination
of the campaign, are calculated to inspire
fearful forcbodings of its results; and accident
besides, has, VIC fear, done much to Illustrate
the we'll arranged plans Of Gov. Call for sup
@plyng the troops in the field with provisions.
we have heard that considerable supplies
were ordered early in the campaign 10 De
sent from st. Marks, to the Suwannee, ana
they did not reach their destination until
weeks AFTER according to the most liberal
calculation, they should have arrived. 1t IS
said too, that great quantity OF corn ana
other provisions intended tor the army, was
deposited in store.housc at st. Marks; the
house, which was built over the water, fell
down with the weight whicI, it contained, and
the whole Of its contents we're ruined. Then
noain the large steamboat Convoy containing
a yery full cargo of provisions, destined for
Tampa Bay, sprung a leak near this port and
nut in here in a sinking condition; nearly her
whole cargo was damaged and much oft was
entirely ruined; and last Of all is the loss OF
the Lieutenant lizard on the bar Of the Wyth-
lacoochec. a..
It is believed the character, condition and
resource of the Florida Indians aic but little
understood, except by those Who have actual
" witnessed their mode Of warfare. The
campaign made by General Jackson against
the Florida InGians, eighteen years ago, when
they were stronger than they are now, is OF,
ten quoted to prove that the subjugai'on OF
the Seminoles is no such difficult matter as II
is thought; but il should be remembered that
their condition was quite different from what
il is at the present. They were then band
ed together in small tribes Every petty
chief had bic town; the guides had no Difficult
~ in conducting Gen. Jackson directly TO
them. and he subdued them in detail. Be-
side. they were not all unfriendly to the
whites. But now they fight as one man.
History scarcely furnishes parallel for the
fidelity which these people have shewn to
one another. We hear Of no single instance
oftreschery or detection among them: Since
the war began, not one OF the hostiles has
como out from, among his brethren. They
have no towns 10 defend, md their women
nnd children protect themselves by Hight
The climate il their friend too. Summer,
which brings disease and death to their pur-
ruers, has no tcrrors for them, aud they are

HoRRIBLE AccIDsNT 1T POwDER.--On

Advertiser, the store Of Otis G. Bolster, in
Rumford, (Me.) was blown up by a cask OF
powder being set on fire. Mr.. Bolster had
been getting stock of goods in, and among
the articles was cask of powder. His GUS
toners had been trying the powder, and had
left some particles upon the top Of the cask.
Mr.. Bolster's son, nine ysars old, in order
to amuse himself, and in the absence Of his
father, took coal of fire, and thus set the
particles into blaze. The whole cask i'm.

blown into the Androscoggn, and the other
half into the street, the roof tumbing down
in the middle. The boy was Immediately
killed. One of the other young lads had his

Melancholy accident on the Lo,oeH Rail
Road.-Last Saturday morning, an elderly
gentleman BY the name Of Stearns who lives
in Woburn, in the neighborhood of the Lowell
Railroad, accompanied his son and one Of the
Engineers, on the Andover route, for the pur-
pose of taking a ride in the morning cars
He was waiting at the junction of the Lowell
railroad, where the cars usually stop. The
Lowell cars were seen coming in on one
truck, and the engine and tender passing on
the other; Mr.. Stesrns not seeing the engine,
stepped back directly in front oft, and before
he could recover himself, he was knocked
down upon the track, and both engine and
tender passed over his body, and nearly cut
him in twain. He was killed Instantly

strangers to the rigors of winter. They have
nearly 1000 square miles in which to hide
themselves, and the most satisfactory intelli-
gencc ns to where they were yesterday, az
fords not the least reason 10 believe that they
may not be fifty miles from there tomorrow;
while il they choose, the whole tribe may, IN
many places, lie securely within hundred
yards of the whole nrmy Of the whites. Dur
ing the last campaign il is said there were ma
my instances Of this; while the whites were
''stunnng the drowsy ear Of night" with the
chopping of trees, the building of fires, and
the cracking of cart-wlips. and all sorts of
of noises, much upon the same reason, we
suppose, that caused the fellow to whistle at
the very top Of his lungs, to keep away the
ghosts when he was passing a churchyard.
in this county, we are too remote from the
Indians to have experienced, or even felt the
lcnst apprehension Of, the actual disasters of
the war, but il has nevertheless pressed sore
ly upon us. Out Of less than three hundred
men liable to do military duty, we now have
eighty in the field. .I
