| Florida Wharf.-The accounts from
this quarter are of the most interest
ing character. From slip receiv-
ed last evening from the office of the
charleston Mercury, we learn that
Gen. Clinch with 500 men joined Gen.
Gaines at his encampment on the
Withlacoochee on the fourth instant,
and that Games intended crossing the
river on the next day and attacking
the Indians. He had his boats and
RATS all ready, and six twelve poun-
(ders to cover the landing of his men
on the opposite side. 1t is said that
the Indians are encamped four miles
from the river, protected by breast
work which they have thrown up of
dirt, and it is supposed that their prin-
Icipal force is at that point.
! The firing of cannon was dlstlnc thy
heard at Fort Drane of the 5th inst.
and we have no doubt Gen. Games
has before this succeeded in crossing
the river and has completely beaten
the Indians. To prevent the Indians
from learning his strength, Gen.
Gaines at no engagement he had with
them, showed more than 200 Of his
men. BY all his movements he has
shown great skill, and proves that
he understands the character of his
enemy. The fact of his having cut
off 50 many of Them in the engage
ment he has already had with them
with so little loss to himself, proves
that he has been an apt scholar in the
art of Indian warfare, and that he
will soon put an end to the war byi
destroying the whole race of Indians.

with the following note from a pas

sailed from Savannah, in the ship
Milledgeville, on the afternoon Of
Saturday, the 18th inst. The steam
boat Florida, from Picolata, was met
about four miles below Savannah. The !
Captain reported, in passing, that
Gen. CIinch had succeeded in reach
ing Gen. Gaines, at Fort King, with
"a good supply Of Bullocks and other
provisions, &c.
We find the following paragraph in
the Chicago American, of the 9th
ult.
.Rumor says the Indians on our
frontier are DISCONTINUED, and that
those who were removed west
west Of the Mississippi last year are
returning. If such be the case we
may have another Black Hawk affair.
The number of warriors in the neigh
boring tribes is estimated at 1000 to
5000 The country is wholly I'M
prepared for resistance in case the
Indians should commence hostilities."
