GENERAL ORDERS
TALLAHASSEE,

TALLAHASSEE, 5th May, 1886.
 The Commander in- Chief announces to the troops of Florda that the campaign against the Indians, from which ii was hoped peace and tranquility would have resulted to the people of the Territory, has, at length, closed, without terminating the savage in which have been so loug engaged. The volunteers of the neghborng States, who, with much spirit and patri- otism, marched to relief, have been disbanded. The regular troops of the u States have returned to their Notifications for the summer, and the whole line of frontier is left exposed to the murderous invasion of the enemy. Scarcely had the army withdrawn from the field when the population of Alachua was driven from their homes, and compelled 10 seek protection thS neghborng Stockades The enemy is now in pos session of their couny and masters of all they left m their flight. Recently attack made by | band of the enemy, at plantaton within 25 miles from the Capitol of the Territory. Blood has been shed, . scalp has been taken and the enemy has retired exut ingy, with his savage trophy. The offensive measures of the government have been suspended until the a

 We are left for the present to our own resources. Shall remain quietly at home, until our slunbeis are broken by the midnight yell of the sa1agess and our houses are construed ovef uss shall meet the enemy in the field, and drive him back from settle
 ments? The alternative is placed before us, and we connot hesitate in the choice If the frontier settle
 ments are destroyed, the tide of and confagraion will still advance until the last house within limfs shall have fallen by the hands of the savage, and Flo ida becomes once wilderness. Let us then to arms and organize sufficient force for rrotec- ton until we receive the assistance of the govern ment. One hundred and sixty mounted riaemen arc inme dately required for the defence of Middle Flo rida. They wll be furnished by the different counties in tho following proportions Jackson county 25.

He says that when the news of the approach of the ndans and their depredations arrived m Tallahassee great excitement seemed pre- ya The citizens immediately armed, himself among the rest, and went pursuit of the savages but could not find them. No dreamed that the Indians were near Tallahassee, and hence the excitement that the town was thrown into.

 niR. EDIroK-in your last paper sec orders Psif- porting to be forthcoming from Head Quarters, and signed by the "Colnci of Ten,n commanding all the loyal and collar subjects of Van-dalisa, in Arkansas concentrate and marshall their forces at every con yenent point of rendezvous n the different pachacks, by the first of August in order to make desperate eff fort for their master Some of our folks, MT Editor, think themselves personated--but tePd them, as Jack Downing would say, they are under erroneous impressions. They seem 10th to believe me, and sst that inform you the truth of the matter.
 They arc doubtful, MT. Editor, you labor under a glarng haluenation in regard to the position By in the political scale-ongnating from the crcum- stance of the late meeting in this county. With the gentlemen who composed that meeting I have some acquaintance, and assure you they are the sturdy and uncompromising friends Judge bite "a very large majority of ihem at least.
 The President of that Meeting, a very high minded and honorable man, is warm and influential friend Of Judge White, and could not, am persuaded be ndu- ced to pin his faith to the kite of the intriguing Dutch mans fortune i'll preference to his old and tried friend, whose interest Is identified with that of the West, in which we all live. As to the knight of the qull who ofciaed on the occasion, can't make any promises; and 1t is equally useless, Mr. Editor for me to say any thing respecting the redoubtabe chiefain who moved the resolutions Suffice it 10 say, he is again before the public: comment, therefore, is unnecessary. The Meeting, on the whole, was respectable, though not large-composed chiefly of the bone and sinew of the land.
 They nominated Judge Yell for Congress, certainly without expressing their preference for the politics of Van Buren, Tn any nanner whatever the contrary, White IS their choice. and with justice should be the choice of every who desires the prosperity of Ar kansas.
 The attempt to nominate Col. Conway for Governor proved decided ailure--the mover submitting to his defeat with the most remorseess nonchalance iaein- able.
 confess, Mr. Editor, that am very much mista- ken in the truly Western character and sterling nteg- rity of the people of Carroll county if there is among them who would knowingly lend his interest to the support of man who has tempered and spored with their dearest and most sacred rights.
