THE FLORIDA WAR.

The following official document, from
the Washington Globe, may be presumed
to give as favorable view of affairs in
Florida, MS is consistent with truth.
Heod Quarters, Army ofhe South,
ST. augustine, oct. "a 1887.
The Major General commanding, in re-
viewing the incidents of the last campaign,
has the proud satisfaction to he able, to
say, that the duties of every department
and every corps composing his command
have been performed to his entire sa,isfac-
ton, and in a manner to reflect The high
est honor on all concerned.
When the army took the field in Decem-
Der, the enemy's strong holds were on Or.
ange Lake, Ochlewaha, Withlacoochie,
aud Annutte,iga; they are now south of
Lake Monroe and Tampa Bay. The from
tier from St. Augustine to Suwannec, and
from Suwannee to ST. Marks, was then in
a state of excitement and alarm it is now
tranquil, and throughout the sicky season,
which has just terminated, has been secure /;
aud the communications between our most
distant posts have been uninterrupted.
The permanent results of the campaign
are 30 Indians and negroes killed, and up
wards of 500 prisoners taken; by which
more than 900 rifles have been silonced,
and competent guides have been obtained
for future operations. To gain these i,n-
portant advantages, the troops have cndur-
ed every hardship and prvation they have
been exposed to the drenching rains, the
noYious vapors, and the scorchng sun of
an almost torrid climate (; they have waded
rivers, traversed almost impossible swamps,
and sought the enemy in Businesses, such as
American soldiers. had seldom penetrated be-
fore, aud with perseverance, an energy,
and II courage, worthy the best era Of the
Republic.
Had the policy of our country been limi-
Ted to peace, which in all past history had
been the object of every war we had waged,
i, had been readily attained. The valor
and persevering energy of the troops forced
the enemy To pause upon the terms Of n
treaty. lf that treaty has been violated,
and 1t has been found impracticable to car
ry ont the plans OF the Government in n
single campaign, IT should be remembered
that more than peace has been sought TO be
obfdined--that we are attempting for the
first time the solution of the Difficult, prob
lem uf transferring savage and a warlike
people from one wide spread wilderness to
another
In every preceding Instance Of the emi-
grafton of an Indian nation, our population
had been pressed upon them, aud crowding
them out of their position, before any effort
had been made by the Government to re-
move them; aud the Indians had them
selves become sensible Of the necessity Tor

Yale College, Nov. IA. o.
( In noticing the shower which occurred
18th November u year ngo, in connection
with others which had occurred on the
same night of the year, for five years pre-
vious, in succession, Professor Olmstead
stated the following as among the charac-
,erstcs of the phenomenon
/. The number of meteors, though ex-
ceedingly variable, is much greater than
usual, especially of the larger and brighter
kinds.
80. An uncommolly large proportion
leave luminous trains
SO. The meteors, with few exceptions.
appear to proceed from a common centre the
position of which has been 10 nearly the
same point in The heavens, viz. in some part
of the constellation Leo.
( "a. The principal ex hibition has, at all
/ times and at all places, occurred between
midnight and sunrise, and the maximum
/ from TO o'clock.
In all these particulars, the meterioric
showers of 1884, 5, and 6, have resembIed
that of 1888 while no person, so far as
have heard, has observed the same COM
blnatlon of circumstances, on any other oc-
casion within the same period.

: don't you see, when at tliai moment the
steamer came in contact with n ship with
such violence, ms to break in The bows Of
the Monmouth and causing her Immediate
I ly 10 be filled with wafer. As soon as the
ship passed by, the steamer was run ashore.
and with such lines as could be procured,
made fast.
| Scarcely had she however reached the
shore, when The hull sunk and the cabin
fioated down stream in two paris, on one al
which was MIR. T.. with several Of the Off
GERS Of the boat and probably two hundred
Indians. The steamboat Warren, which
was towing the ship, Immediately on the
happening of the accident, rounded TO and
made for the portion Of the wreck of which
we have just spoken, aud rendered every
property of the Indians.
The Yazoo and John Nelson steamers
which were also ladened with indians, were
soon on the spot, rendering all the aid in
their power. Mr.. Z. informs US that the
night Of the accident was dark with driz-
zling rain, and that neither the ship nor the
steamboat that had her in tow, were dis
covered by any person on the Monmouth,
until the moment before the vessels came in
contact. 1t has been stated in some Of lhe
published accounts, that the accident oc-
Cured through the negligence and mis-
management of the officers of the Mon
mouth, and further, that she was all old
boat, not well manned, &c.-Such we are
Informed by Hr. f. is not the fact.
| The boat was but little over twelve months
old, was well manned, all her officers were
of experience, and, knowing their duty, did
not neglect it, and in fine, she ranked a
mong the best boats on the river.
/ For ourselves we cannot but deem it
carelessness of no ordinary degree, to tow
"A ship in dark night without lights on the
river, aud such we are informed was the
| fact.
/ There were on board the Monmouth 400
Indians out of which number 234 were kill
ed or drowned.--Many of the survivors
were badly injured. Several physicians,
aciuated by the best feelings Of humanity,
came from Bayou Sara, aud administered
to the poor unfortunate Indians.

removing long before they had taken up the
line of march.
Though all expected from us by the pub
lie may not have been achieved, enough
has been done TO prove that there is no de-
terioratIon in the character and qualities Of
the American soldier, whether of the yolun-
tcer corps or one of the regular army; and
whatever differences of opinion may exist
as 10 the measures Of the comnIHndrr, the
pen of history, guided by the hand of JUS
tice will not fail 10 assign to the officers and
troops of his command high place among
The champions of their country's rights and
honor.
Soldiers much as you have performed,
more remains to be done the enemy awaits
you in businesses more difficult than any
you have yet penetrated. The Govern
rnent has adopted the only policy which
can preserve the Indians as a distinct and
independent people. That policy must be
accomplished, and the Scminocs removed.
The same energy, courage, and patriotism,
