VAN BCREN IN NEW YORK.

The AnttCaucus Party 10 New York

test. They speak pretty confident OF being
able to take the vote of bis own State from

that but a Sigh, revolution IN the popular

ticlan, doubts, that Il the elements OF op.
position 10 this State can be united, Van Bu-
ren must luse the electoral vote. As an
evidence Of this, IT IS only necessary to re.
mind the reader that he and Jackson to-
Cether only had a majority Of thirteen
thousand out Of three hundred and fiity.four
thousand votes polled IN ls32-that many
OF the jackson men we're ChntonIans and
viii never support Van Buren--that others
are for Harrison and will give him pre-.
ference over the nominee ofthe Executive
and finally, that 10 rs when Van Buren,
was elected Governor, be only had pu.

a large majority Of the Whole State. Such

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Since our last, nothing of importance has
been heard from any division of the army.
BY an arrival from Fort Drane, we learn
that on the LIST inst. an express reached there,
from Gen. EuStls, stating that he was desti.
tute Of corn aud forage for his horses. lie
has about seven hundred mounted men in
his division. Having no corn or forage at
Fort Drane 10 send hun, they must have
suffered exceedingly. Gen. Eustls was then
about % miles from Fort Drane, and four
or five DAYS march behind Gen. Scott.
Ii has now been sixteen days since Gen.
Scott reached the Wlthlacoochee. Consid.
cradle anxiety is felt with regard TO them.
They cannot have met the Indians near the
old fighting ground, as their guns would
have been heard. There is little doubt that
Gen. Scott has marched to Tampa Bay.
/ 1t Is possible, that the Indians, on seeing
his force, deemed II best 10 give themselves
up, and that he has gone to escort them Il
Tampa Bay. Ii is far more probable, that
the Indians have eluded him, as he has been
compelled to 90 there for provisions. With
so large force, It's scarcely possible that
any other disaster should beiall them, than
a scarcity Of provisions.
Nearly every day discloses new indlca.
,ions that the Indians are scattering. The
4 last week several families from Alachua
have come to this place. They begin tc

They believe they shall be constantly ex
posed 10 the depredatlons OF this maraudlng
