for twelve monfhs, if required co long. and proceed forthwith to Fl0rica.
 Bv fhe asristance of these Indiana, it is thought the Seminoles will be reduced to submission much earlier than they otherwise would be. Capt. ]. F. Lane, at present Aid to Gen. Jesup, IS to accompany the Greeks to Florida as their commander, and will be pro- noted to the office of Colonel.
 Notwithstanding the assistance which we admit the country may derive from the em- ployment of such force, upon such an ex- petition, and in pursuit of such foe, still there is something objectionable in their en- listment. We have three objections, to wit |: 1st, it implies that the country is incapable of subduing the contemptible tribe in Florida by the force of its own citizens alone, and is therefore compelled to call for help from the savages 2dly, it is not good policy to let the Indians know that they are considered better soldiers than the whites, in any sort of an ex- petition whatever; 3dly, it is not morally right that this great country should set one Indian tribe against another in interminable hostilities.
 We ought to fight our own battles, without calling help from the savages.
 Both Greeks and Seminoles, after the con- quest of the latter. are to be removed to their western destination, and there the districts al- lotted for the future habitation of each tribe lie m such proximity that perpetual wars be- tween them may we'll be anticipated. Carry out this policy, and there will be no end to savage murder and bloodshed among them- selves. .:
 We hear the contractors for emigrating the Creeks will carry them all off immedi- ately, except the thousand who have volun- teered for the Florida service and their fam lilies. These families are to be left in the Grooly nation md fo1 bxy tho and taken care of, until the return of the war riors from Florida, at which time all hands are to emigrate to the West.
 CAMP SABINE, La. Aug. 17.
 This day completes months since the pre- sent camp has been occupied, and though many and various settlements have existed from time to time, yet nothing has taken place, either to amuse or interest the troops.
 To give you correct information of the dis position of the Regulars on this border, will remark that we form three bodies: Fort Jes- up, commanded by Col. Many of the 3d h. fantry, with two companies of that Regiment. Camp Sabine, with the 9th Reg't, and four companies of the 3d Infantry, under con- mand of Maj. Thompson, with train of Field Artillery. The camp at Nacogdoches is oc- cupied by six companies of the Eth Infantry, 1iAO NOilIP1AAC OA JI1O 1St Cuu is commanded by It. Col. Whistler. The whole of the troops commanded by Maj. Gen. Gaines, who makes his head quarters at Camp Sabine.
 5000 mounted volunteers or militia are shortly expected, under the apprehension that difficulties with the Indians may occur on the forks of the Trinity river in Texas.
 This climate is healthy though warm; that is when you leave the water courses or rivers and retire to the high grounds or pine ridges, as at the south on the Atlantic in the warm season. You find the Passion-fower and the Trumpet-creeper growing wild, in all the beauty of the forest, yet you meet with poi sons also-the tarantula, the centipedes, the scorpion, and the ground rattlesnake as we'll as the large one. ...-..
 There is said to be sickness in the Mexican army, yet the truth cannot be known, as they are on the Rio del-Norte, and access to them is difficult and dangerous.-Epe. Star.
