From The Savannah Georgian Of Mar 2lth
Very important intelligence from Eoridd
The steam packet Florida, Capt. Hubbard
arrived last evening from Black Creek, viz
| Jacksonville.
Colonel Twiggs, of the 4th Regimen
Artillery, and Major Lear, of the lth In
funtly, with Captain Marks, of the Louis
/ lana volunteers, were among the passcn
gers These officers left Fort Drane OF
| Saturday last, where General Scott remain
ed with the forces under his command.
The whole army is in fine health and
spirits, and in excellent discipline, and vii
! be prepared TO leave Fort Drane on oil
about the 2jth inst, for the banks of tho
Ouithlacooche Gen. Gaines battle
ground.) There Generals Scott, and Eustis
and Colonel Lindsay, with their immediate
commands, are to unite-Gcn, Eustis hay
ing moved on Saturday last from Nolusia
and Col. Lindsay being OH his way from
Tampa.
Ifthe Indians do not comply with the
terms of the Treaty, it is Gen. SCOTS inten-
ton to mrke them do so, pcaccably if they
will or forcibly, if necessary.
The Floridlans, not in the field, are gen
orally returning to their homes in the vicin-
ty Of Micanopy and elsewhere, expecting
MS they have been assured, the Indians will
comply their agreement with General
Gaines.
General Gaines sat out from Fort Dranc
on the 18th instant on his way TO Tampa
via Tallahassee and ST. Marks.
General Scott arrived at Fort Dranc 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 to the
following etfcct-that the Indians and thti
chiefs should retire beyond the Witllacoo-
chic, and there remain peaceably until the
wishes ofthe Government are known-that
commissioners would be sent then by the
proper authorities to express those wishes
and that the chiefs should assemble at any
time and place, when and where they
should be required.
Oscoa, Juniper, Albert Halo (Crazy Al
ligator) all Indians, with Abram principal
adviser of Micanopy, and Caesar, both In
dian ncgrocs) were present at the interview
on the part of the Indians; and the officers
who, at the request of Gen Gaines were
present, were Capt Hitchcock, Of the LIST
Regiment Infantry, Capt. Marks, of the
Lusana volunteers, and Adjutant Barrow
of the same,
We understand that in consequence oil
some misunderstanding between Col
Twiggs and the Commanding General, re-
spcctng Brevet rank in the field, that Col
Twiggs will forthwith repair to New Or.
leans aud resume his duties us comnandanI
of that station. Major Moutfort is also on
his way to New Orleans, and Major Leigh
has received u Through for the recovery
of his health.
We sincerely regret that the army SHOULD
be deprived at this time OF such gallant ant
experienced officers, who showed by thei
endurance 81 privations on their mGrcl
from Tampa, and the alacrity with which
they repaired to the field of danger, VIVA
the country could reasonably expect from
them in action if an action with the enemy
should indeed be necessary.
The general impression when these of
ficers left Fort Drane was, that the war wa
at an end. No hostile Indians have beer
seen by our Army since Gen. Gaines LET
the Ouilhacoochee. Most of the friendly
! Indians with Black Dirt, their chiefs, hay,
returned to Tampa, deeming their service
no longer necessary.
We regret to add that Lieut.. lizard sur
vived his wound but five days.
