Litchfield enquirer., 1837-05-04

From the ATn1g-A report naS oeen recelVs ed from Gen. Jesup, dated Tampa Bay, 9th April, in which he states that the war is over, he hopes; at all events, there IS but little danger of renewal of hostilities, if the troops be held in readiness for immediate action, and the inhabitants of Florida act with pfu- dence. Should, however, any attempt b0 made to seize the Indian negroes, or to arrest any of the chiefs or warriors, either as crim- inals or debtors, an immediate resort to arms will be the consequence.
 Several of the principal chiefs are in the neighborhood of Tampa Bay, with detach- ments of their people. Micanopy, Holatoo- chee, Yaholoochee, (Cloud0 Co-a-co-chee, (Wild Cat0 John Ca-wi-ga, and several sub- chiefs and warriors, left Gen. Jesup on the sth for the emigrating camp. Co-a-co-chee IS son of Philip, the principal chief on the St. Johns river. His influence is greater than that of his father. Gen. JeSup states that he IS the most talented man he has seen among the Seminoles, and will no doubt be the principal chief of the nation. He prom ises that Abiaca, the chief of the Micasaukies, with his people, shall come in. He returns to St. Johns to collect his cattle, and will start his father and all his people to the emil grating camp.
 The chiefs entered into an engagement on the 9th, to surrender the negroes taken dur ing the war. They will deliver them to the commanding officers at the posts on the St, Johns.
 The Indians generally will emigrate, but the measure will be tedious, and in all it's preliminary steps expensive.
 When the emigration of the greater part of the nation shall have been effected, stroll- ing vagabonds will remain, probably, among the frontier inhabitants. To restrain them, ten. Jesup proposes to e-establish Fort King, Ich a h<a% D- the Suwannee. Fort Drane being in very unhealthy section of the country, it's garrison must be withdrawn early in June. One or two posts, with small garrisons, may proba- ply be required on the Atlantic coast, south of St. Augustine. The garrisons of Forts Mellon and Call, must be withdrawn by the ] first of June, in consequence of the unhealth- mess of the sites of those forts.-Globe.
 Dislressing.-Emily c. Wood, a little girl 10 years of age, daughter of Hiram and Me- linda Wood, was burnt to death at her tath- CTS house, near Washington College, in this city, on Friday night last. Towards evening, as she was putting a stick of wood upon the fire, her clothes caught, and were almost in stantly in blaze. She ran out towards the river, west of the. College, but before she could reach it, her clothes were almost en- tirely burnt off. She however ran into the river, extinguished the flames, and threw her self upon the bank where she was found by her mother. She fingered in most excrucia-, ting agony until l2 o'clock, when she expif- ed.-Hasjtord Ceuriev.
 Melancholy.-Mr. William Kelsey, aged 27 years, son of MT. Levi Kelsey, of this city, was drowned, in the Connecticut, on Tuesday last, near the Flats, north of the Bridge. lie went upon some log ratts in the morning, probably for the purpose of adjusting some of the floating logs, when it is supposed he accidentally slipped in and was drowned.- He was missed on Tuesday noony ybut no par ticular anxiety was felt about him, until yes- terday morning, at which time, search was made about the raft, near which he was last seen. His handkerchief and memorandum book were discovered between two logs.- Immediate search was then made for his bo- dy, which was found in about an hour, di- rectly under the logs. He was an active, in- dustrious, and respectable young man.-ibid. An old trick.-A man named Heath, who was confined in the Jail of Botetourt county, Virginia, on charge of passing counterfeit money, made his escape last week by strat- agem of his wife. She got permission of the Jailor to visit her husband, and having dress ed him in female clothes provided for the purpose, he succeeded in imposing himself upon tho Jailor for his wife, and, with many regrets on his unfortunate situation, Mir. Heath was let out. Several hours after, the mistake was discovered, but the prisoner was beyond the reach of his pursuers.-Boston Trau.

He seems the happiest man alive, and in good humor with all the world. Yes, we'll, what of him!" What why-e got married last ,reek.,
