FLORIDA WAR,

From accounts received, we think our Indian war
is growing more and more serious. It is certain
many Of the most formidable Indian tribes are re.
solved upon resistance.
1t seems Gen. Scorr is We, at ST. Augustine,
sick Of a fever but has written an official letter 10
The war department, in which, he complains of The
co,oar disc Of the inhabitants he says 4: at il evi
dent that no General, even with extensive means,
can cure a disease in the public mind, SO general
and so degrading, without some little effort on the
part Of The people themselves. Thus the planters
in the recent case near Tallahassee. who fled without
knowing whether they ran from squaws or warriors,
ought frs. TO have ascertained The material fact
If they had turned upon The enemy. they would
have found The case within the easy compass Of any
three or four reso lutte masters, and half as many
overseers. This was the simpl e and manly course.
That adopted was-to fly. to spread The panic and
to throw execr ations upon The General who has the
misfortune to command a hand full OF brave troops in
The midst Of such a population" Gen. Scott says
he intends, as soon as his health will permit, TO
stale the causes Of his unsuccessful operations
against the Indians, and " the FIRST ,cas the late
period at phich he ,oas ordered to Florida"

les was horribly mangled tn. other untoueh-
ed. While the whole force was beholding
this scene, they were fred on BY about 500
Indians, as was supposed, from a hammock
about 80 yards distant. A general action
ensued which continued for an hour-the
Indians re,rca,ing only after they had seven
rounds Of grape shot. On the hammock
being charged 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 off the
wounded. The loss of the whites was 3
killed and % woundcd-they behaved with
great gallantry on the occasion. Col.
Lindsay having been confined from sickness,
The command devolved on Col. Chisholm.
Of the Ala. Volunteers and 1t. Col. Foster
Of the regular army. The troops returned
to fort Brooks, on the 28th ult. and the
Volunteers have since been disbanded, and
are waiting the first opportunity TO return
TO their homes.

Napal academy. The committee on naval
affairs in Congress, have reported in favor
OF a naval academy for the education Of
youth for this service. Several small ye,.
sells ere to be connected with the institution.
for the purpose Of giving the pupils practi.
cal lessons in navigation.
The army has its West Point, and a sim
liar institution for the navy is certainly re.
CURED as a matter of justice, leaving out Of
consideration the fact that on our Commerce
and naval power. chiefly depend the wealth
and defence Of The country. The wonder
is that such an academy has not long slnes

LATE FROM FLORIDA.
Battle Of Cioncto Lasa-hs Indian, brought
to a General Fight-Dsfeated and

to a General Fght-Defeated and
Rouied.
Now that Generals Scott and Gaines
have, with the greater part Of thei. troops,
retired from Florida, after a most unprofit-
able and disastrous campaign, without ever
bringing the enemy to 4 fair fight, there has
it appears at last, been a we'll contested &C.
ton few miles from Tampa. The schoon-
er Hudson, from Tampa Bay, arrived at
Savannah, furnishes the following partic-
ulars Of the late severe action near that
place.
The troops engaged were the Regiment
of Alabama Volunteers and eigh, Compa-
MES Of the 4th Regiment U. S. Infantry,
and one Company Of tho I'd Regiment U. s.
Artillery, with one field piece, consisting in
all of about $50 men. This force was sent
from fort Brooks TO fort Alabama, for the
purpose of destroying the latter fort, and
bringing off The sick, wounded, and provis-
ions. They left fort Brooke on the 26th
ult. and reached fort Alabama on The follow,
ing day. After securing the provisions and
stores, a quantity Of powder was placed in
the magazine, that it would explode on the
opening ofthe door. This done, the troops
commenced their return and when about
a mile and a halfdistant from the fort, hoard
q loud report, proceeding no doubt, from
the explosion ofthe magazine. Proceeding
about ten mile. further, they found the deal
bodies ut two Of their men, who had beer
missing the previous day-one Of these bod

GEN. HARRIsoN The Van Buren, pres
SEES, as in the case Of Gen. Jackson stigmas
TIE Gen. Harrison as an ignorant old man.
General Armstrong, u bitter enemy of Gen.
Harrison, does not in his recent work
countcnance such an opinion, but whether
willingly or not, makes out Gen. Harrison
to be a %shrewd, well informed and rather
cunning than heavy or dull. The son OF
the Governor Of Virginia himself one of
the signers Of the Declaration Of American
independence, could not have been without
education and a classical education, and
forty years OF successful public services, do
not indicate either ignorance or stupidity.

LETTER FROM MR.. GRANGER.
WAsHINeroN, March 81, l

WASHINGTON, March 81, 1885.
Sir Your letter informing me that the
State Convention recently assembled at
Montpelier, had placed me in nomination
for the office Of Vice President, was receiv-
cd a few days since.
Gratifying as have been the similar ex-
pressions Of public confidence manifested
towards me by other States, there has been
no one which has excited a prouder feeling
Of gratitude than the testimonial emonating
from that portion Of my fellow citizens
whom you represent. During the various
political conflic's which have agi,ated the
nation, they have been found true to those
principles which so early distinguished the
hardy sons Of the Green Mountains, and
which have always placed them among the
most efficient supporters of the Supremacy
Of the Laws and of the Constitution OF our
Country. Freemen who so well under.
stand not only the theory, but the practical
benefits of our republican institutions, need
not to be reminded Of the means by which
alone such institutions can be preserved
and we have ample assurance in the past,
that the Citizens of Vermont, are always
impressed with the important political truth,
that vigilance is not only tho price, but the
guarantee of freedom.
With my highest esteem. be pleased L
accept my thanks for the manner Of you
comnunicat alton.
Your obedient servant.

The VICE PRRsIDENcY.-An opinion is
obtaining that although Van Buren, will be
elected by the Colleges, Col, johnson is to
fail as Vice President. To arrive at this
conclusion the papers assume that the Vir-
ginia College will not vote for Johnson. 1t
is true that Virginia affected to be shocked
at Johnson's nomination. 1t is also true
that Mr. SMITH, of Alabama, was desgna
ted as the Virginia candidate for Vice
President. But we have no belefth that the
Virginia Electors will vote for him. Il
some half dozen, or even dozen, Electors
are wanted to elect Johnson. they can be
bought in Virginia for the current price Of
as many bulocks. We repeat that Col
Johnson will not loose his Election it Vlr.
