THE ladies ofSt. Augustine have
passed a series of complimentary res.
olutions in honor ssof the VOLUNTEERS,
and have organized themselves into
. society TO render any service that
may re required. They are emulous
in their hospitality, and the only thing
that detracts from our enjoyment, 10
the sense that the measure Of the
gratitude far exceeds our poor deserts.
"The detachment. as regards health.
is highly favored; only a few COM

Tallahassee, Jan. 80.
The middle district in a few DAYS
will have six hundred men under arms
engaged in the Seminole war-a mum.
Der fully equal to one third Of the ef-
fective men in it.
Capt. Hooker on the lower Suwan-
nee, a few days since, finding the OPP
'posite bank in possession of about 80
Indians, crossed over with nine men
to attack them. As he landed, two
of his men who crossed over were
shot down-one with nine balls, tho
other with FIVE. With his remaining
men, he boldly charged on the enemy.
While thus engaged, his boat got
adrift, and he was left with no alter
native but victory or death. After
a close and deadly contest Of some
minutes, the savages were routed with
severe loss.
Twelve friendly Indians arrived
yesterday from Tarnpa-they will act
as guides to the expedition which will
march in a few days from this place.
They state that the loss Of the Semi
noles at the battle Of the Withlacoo-
che. was one hundred and four killed.
Gallant AGair.-On the 10Th inst.
Colonel Parish at the head Of two
hundred Volunteers from this district,
composed Of the companies Of Cap
tains Aston, Beilamy, and Casweil,
had sharp encounter with a largo
body Of Indians. The attack CON.
mencc with the advanced guard un-
der Capt. Bellamy, who had been al
lowed by the enemy to pass their
main body. Col. Parish Immediately
hastened forward to his suppoat, when
suddenly he was attacked on both
TANKS by the enemy placedin ambush.
The Volunteers made an unsuccess-
full attempt to charge on horseback
they were then dismounted and form
ed in admirable order. They then
charged upon the enemy in manner
worthy Of veterans. In the mean
time, Capt. Bethany having routed the
attacking party opposed to him, fell
back upon the main body. The en-
envy was soon forced to take shelter
in .hicket. BY this tirne, night was
coming on, i. was not thought pru-
dent to follow them, where the local.
tiles Of the place, and the darkness
would have given them great advan-
tages. Our men rested ON their arms
in the open pine woods, prepared 70
renew the action at daylight; but du-
ring the night, the savages effected a
retreat. Their loss must have been
considerable, as six dead bodies were
in one part of the field Of
battle. Two days after, Col. Parish
marched for Fort King, and arrived
here in safety. He then proceeded to
POWELL town and destroyed it. the
volunteers then returned TO Fort
Drane, where they are now ncamped.
