and if Gen. Jesup, who is on the march from Fousa
for the Wuhoo Swamp cut off Powell and his band:

We scarcely prepared by the floating rumors
had received from Ierds for the Jcrac" Of Santa .3nna
We learn, however, by slip from the Express mai:
from the New Orleans Bulletin Office, Of the l2!h, that
he is actually at liberty and on his ,eay to the City ~
H!sh;n@icn! It may be productive Of important events
and We await the details with great curiosity.
(Irom the Charleston Ntreury Of tie l4h inst)
We have been politely favored with the following
extract Of letter, dated
"sr AuGrsrrxE (Florida) Dec ), 1896.
The Army has reached Fousa. for the purpo<' Of
getting provisions and recruiting. Some hard battles
have been foagh: in the Wahoo Swamp and lis vicinity,
and the loss OF the enemy estimated at one hundred
and that Of the whites, twenty-five killed and about
fifty wounded. The Army will again leave Eolusla III
few days. and is supposed that The next meeting with
the enemy will be in the ncighbDrhood Of Ocklwaa.
Gen. Jesup has not joined the forces under Gen.
CALI and we do not know where he is. General Calls
health has been very delicate during Tie campaign. and
intends to retire from the field very shortly llie"d
Of his who has Just returned from the Army, informs me
that he intends to resign The Gubcrnatorta Char IN con-
sequence Of his III health.
! In addition to the above, are furnished with The
following statement, by gentleman who arrived yes
terday in the Samucl S. Mills after passage Of days:
LEFT st. Augustine December . report had just
reached St. Augustine before lctt brought We be
lieve by an Express that Detachment of goo friendly
Creeks, and 2 Companies Of Regulars, who were sent
10 The Ocklawaha Swamp, have had an engagement!
with large party Of the Semnoes: in which 1t Is SAID
that The latter have lost 90 left dead on the field.
! The loss on our side is said TO be from 40 10 90.
| We have since jacksonville paper Of the 7;h,
which says nothing Of this, doubt It's correctness
/ Col. Downing, Aid to Gen. Call, who arrived IN
town on Friday last states that the Tennessee Foun:
ec.s had behaved themselves very CALAMITY in several
sknishes that had taken place, penetrating in pursuit
! OF the enemy into hannocks and swanps winch were
deemed !:Duassahle The number OF the enemy killed
since Gen Call has taken the field, is variousy compl-
! ted 10 be from 200 10 800.
1t is also stated that Jumper is at the lead Of the
peace party in the nation and had expressed drt?rm
nation TO fight 1t is thought their powder IS
nearly exhausted. Gen Call had received the order By
which he is superseded by Gen lesuP and had accord
ngly returned to Nousa his way TO Tallahassee; his
health is said TO he in very precarous state Nothing
had been heard Of Gen. Jesup
! We regret to state that the TennesseeanS had slgn
fed to Gen. Call their intention of leaving as soon as
their terms Of service had EXPIRED which on the lG:h
OF this month"; that the Army will Uc deprived {" 4
large part Of its most efficient force. We fear that this
has been in great measure caused by the dismissal OF
Gen. Call, to whom they had hecoe very much attach
cd.
! In the first engagement in which the Greeks took
part, thew lost five of their number killed. deputaton
is said 10 have waited Col. Brown, their commander,
and have stated 10 him that hdt namely, the Killing
part of the business not included IN their bargain
with the government. We suppose lie must have con-
WINGED them that it was find them doing Their dn
