Tie Indian War in Florida.-We have
been furnished by passenger in the schr.
Hudson, arrived yesterday afternoon, from
Tampa Bay, with t5c following particulars
of an action fought on the 9th ult., between
a party of about 500 Seminoles on the one
hand, and the Regiment Of Alabama Vol
unteers, and portion ofthe U. S. Regulars
on the other. The battle occurred at 2
place called Thlonatasse, IA miles from
Fort Brooke. The troops engagedwerc the
Regiment ofAlabama Volunteers and eight
Companies Of the 4th Regiment U. S. In
fantry, and one Company ofithe I'd Regi.
mcrit U. S. Artillery, with one field piece,
consisting in oil of about $50 men. This
force was sent from Fort Brooke to Fort
Alabama, for the purpose ofdestroying the
latter fort, and bringing off the sick, wound
cd, and provisions. They left Fort Brooke
on the 26th ult., and reached Fort Alabama
on the following day. After securing the
provisions and stores, quantity Of powder
was so placed in the magazine, that it would
explode on The opening of the door. This
done, the troops commenced their return,
and when about mile and q half distant
from the Fort, heard loud report, procee.
ding, no doubt, from the explosion Of the
magazine. Proceeding about two miles
further, they found the dead body of their
men, who had been missing the previous day
-one orthese bodies was horribly mangled
the other untouched. While the whole force
was bcholding this scene. they were fired on
by about 500 Indians, as was supposed,
from a hammock about thirty yards distant.
A general action ensucd, which continued
for an hour-thc ildiads rctreatng only
after they had received seven rounds Of
grape shot. On the hammock being char
ged by the Infantry, the savages took to
flight. Several dead Indians were found on
the field Of battle, and numerous traces where
they had dragged ofthe wounded. The loss
of the whites was 3 killed and % wounded
they behaved with great gallantry on the
occasion. Col. Lindsay having been con-
fined from sickness, the command devolved
on Col. Foster of the regular army. The
tTOOpS IClulSu W 1 OIl DIOOhC, OlI ttC SOlh
ult., and the Volunteers have since been
and arc waiting the first oppor-
tunity to return 10 their homes.
MACON, MAY 12.-The Greek h-
dians risen.-We receive the most alarming
intelligence from the West. The Creek
Indians have risen, and are numbering all
within their reach; men, women and chill.
dren are indiscriminatcly butchered and
scalpcd. The white settlers in the Creek
Nation are leaving their homes and their
and flying for their lives. 1t is
said 81 have been massacred.
The mail stage from Columbus west, af.
ter going 10 or Is miles, and finding the
road filled with women and children, some
bearfoot, others with nothing on but their
night clothes, flying from the Indians, the
passengers became alarmed, and the stage
turned back.
The Chiefs we understand profess to be
friendly but state they cannot restrain their
people. 1t is said many discontented Chero.
KEGS have ioined them.

CAUSE OF THE GROUP IN INFANTS

Eberle, in his excellent work on the dis
eases of children, says that the mode of
clothing infants with their nccks and upper
parts Of the breast bare, cannot fail to render
them subject to the influence of cold, and its
dangerous consequences. In this country,
especially among the Germans, who are in
the habit of clothing their children in such
manner as to leave no part of the breast and
lower portion Of the neck exposed Group ls
an exceedingly rare disease. Whereas, IN
cities or among people who adopt the modes
Of dress common in cities, this frightful dis
ease is, in proportion to the population, vastly
more frequent. During practice Of six
years among the "Pennsylvania Dutch" he
met with but single case of this affection;
and this case occurred in family, who had
adopted the present universal mode Of snf-
fering the neck and sup rior part OF the
breast to remain uncovered.
