WAsHISGToS, Jan. IL, 1886.


The President is as mild towards the Semlnoles, as
he is fierce to the Frenchmen. Colonel White, the
Delegate from Florida called upon the President yes
terday, and represented to him that the Indians and
their negro allies were laying waste the territory and
numbering all the white inhabitants, without distinction
of age or sex. Further he stated that the Indians
opposed by any competent force, advancing to-
wards St. Augustine, which defenceess in every
respect He stated that there not two hundred
muskes or other FIRE arms the port Of ST. Augustine,
and not powder enough to fire salute.
The President in reply said that the Colonel al
together misnformed and that the place full of
arms and munitions of war. Colonel White replied
But, Sir, you they have no powder, few
muskets, and not half dozen rifles" I know bet
ter" rejoined the President the whole country has
been sending them arms and ammunition" "Look at
these letters, SIR, said Colonel White, they will show
YOU that you have been deceivea-basely deceived.
See what the commanding officer at ST. Augustine
says;-here is his letter." damn their letters'
Piled the hero they have plenty OF and
ton; /, Andrew Jackson say it, "Then, Sir" added
the Colonel politely" tn is no for to say"
Colonel White has intelligence of the most heart
rendng character from the seat Of Families Of
high distinction, nurtured in luxury in the old States
under the tomahawk and scaping knife, or by more
prolonged and refined torture. Doyou remember Gen.
eral Thompson, member of Congress from Georgia,
when you were here-an eccentric, but good fellow
who used to carry hickory club Of inordnate size
into the House of Representatives, and lay it his
seat What Of him. you will ask. Why truly-no-
thing, except that he ridded by those same In
dams, with shower ofsbullets.
Constantine Smith, brave little fellow with the heart
Of thousand lions in him, knocked into cooked
hat, the time-seventeen bullets having passed
through him. They dining with the settler half
dozen of them, all good fellows particularly Lieut..
Smith and the settler, (Erastus Sergeant)-and through
the window, in came shower of bullets from hundred
rifles
The President having received your draft Of the
sage, pronounces it much better than Livingstons, and
will accordingly send it in to both Houses tomorrow,
