we're among the passengers. These officers
left Fort Drane on Saturday last, whrre Gen.
Scott remained with the forces under his
command. The whole. Army is 10 fnc health
and spirits, and in excellent discipline, and
will he prepared to leave Fort Drane on or a.
bout the 25lh inst. for the banks Of the Ou,h-
lacOocher, General Gaines battle ground J
There Generals Scott, and Eussis. aud Col.
Lindsay, with their immediate commands,
are to unite-Gen. E"stis having moved 90
Saturday last from Volusia, and Col. Lind
say being on his Nay from 'Fampa.
Iftke Indians do not comply with he terms
Of the Treaty, it is Gen. Sc"tt's Intention t"
make them do So, peaceably If they will, or
furcihly, il necessary.
The Fluridians. not in the field, are gcner-
ally returning To their homes in the vicinity
| of Micanopy and rlsew here, expecting. as they
have been assured. that the Indians will com
ply with their agreement with Gen. Gaines.
Gen. Gaines set out from Fort Dran- on
the 14th inst. on his way to Tampa, via Tai.
iahassee and ST. Marks.
Gen. Scott arrived at Fort Drane ON the
day before.
The agreement made by Gen. Gaines with
the Indians, with the terms of which we are
furnished by Capt. Marks, is I" the olI1"ing
effret-that the Indians and their chiefs should
retire beyond the Wythiaco"chce. and there
remain peac+ahly until the wishes Of the Gov
eminent are knOwn--that commissioners
would be sent them by the proper authorities
to express those wishes. and tina, the chiefs
should assemble q any time and place, when
and where they should he required.
Oscola, Jumper, Albeit llaj" (Crazy Ali
gatur) all Indians. with Abram principal Ad-
wiser IF Micanopy) and Cesar. both Indian
Negroes, were present al the interview on the
part Of the Indians; and the officers who, al
| the request Of Gen. Gaines, were present,
were Capt. Hitchcock, Of LIST Regiment In
fantry, Capt. Marks. Of the louisiana Voun-
! trrrs- and Adjn,ant Barrow, Of the same.
We understand that in consequence "fsome
misunderstanding between Col TwISgs and
the Commanding General. respecting Breve'
rank in the field, Col. Twiggs will forth" it'll
repair Ia New Orleans and resume his duties
as COmmandant Of that station. Maj. Mount
fort is also on his way to New Orleans. and
Major Lear has received furlough for the
recovery If his health.
| We sincerely regret that the army should
be deprived at this time Of such gallant and
experienced officers. who showed by their EN-
d,lrance Of privaiions on their march from
Tampa, and the alacriiy with which they re-
paired to the field Of danger, what the coun
try could reasonably expect from them in 'ac
tiOn--if an action with the enemy should in
deed be necessary.
The general impression when these officer.
left Fort Drane was that the war was at an
end. No hostile Indians have heen seen by
our Army since Gen. Gaines left the Ouiha
coochee. Most of the friendly Indians. with
RL0cE Dirt. their chief. have returned to Tam.
pa. deeT@ng their services no longer necessary
We regret to add that Lieut.. lizard sarviv-
ed his wound only few days.
