A letter from St. Petersburg reports the

CAPT. HoLLMAN's DEATH.-The
Apalachiola Gazette, dated the 10th
inst. contains the latest information re-
htive to the exposed situation of the
brave fellows under Captain Holleman
at the Block house at the Wythlacoo-
chez, and the death of that i'll fated Of
fcer.
Col. Wood arrived on Wednesday
last from Tallahassee. We learn from
him that, before he left Tallahassee,
three individuals had arrived there
from Capt. Hollman's command on the
Wythlacooche. The accounts they

had learned the folly OF endeavoring to
shoot them through their defences, yet

served. After the death of Captain
Holman, the command of the COM

who is determined at all hazards, to
maintain his position till relieved.
