The Tennessee volunteers with Gov. Call at

The Troops in this section, under Major Pierce,
are expecting orders daily-to march. Col.

escort, reach this place Sunday next, on his
way to Join the Commander in Chief War
ike stories are being deposited at different
points. The work goes bravely on.
On Tuesday last Col Warren reached this
place from Newnansyille on afurlough OF few
days.
From this we learn that on the 22d inst, the
Indians took from Maj. Mapes, Pay-master, u.
-. ~,
way to Newnansville. They also took several
belonging to his escort, part of Capt. Browns
and Parish's companies of Florida Volunteers,
making in all twelve horses taken. On the
23d Maj NJ reached NewnansviIe and was
sick of the bilious fever.
Col. Warren left that Post on the 25th. lie
saw no Indian signs on his way and supposed
the enemy were apprised of the approach of
the troops which are on their way to their
strong holds.
Gov. Call, with between 1900 and 1900 men,
consisting of the Tennessee Volunteers and the
citizen soldiers ofMiddle and West Florida was
to cross the river Suswanee Monday or Tues
day last. The Governor intends marching i'm
mediately for the Nation.
Gen. Jessup, with 100 Regulars and 900 In
dians, was either at Tampa Bay, or at the
mouth of the Ouithlachuche.
Gov. Call has made requistion on the
States of Georgia and South Carolina for vol
unteers or militia to be sent Immediately to
Florida. He expects to have upwards of 5000
men in the field in twenty days.
Col. Warren says nothing has been seen o.
heard of the Indians since the victory which
the men under his command, gained near
Newnansvile. This will be considered one of
the most important and brilliant achievements
of this war; when its victories and defeats be-
come matter of history.
