AUTHENTic lNTELLiGehcE FROM THE
SEAT OF THE INDIAN WAR We have
had melancholy forebodlngs as to the re-
suit Of the protrac,ed warfare in which
our country has been SO long engaged
with the Florida Indisns. The Numerous
court marlials which have been convokcd
during lis progress, bcfnre which d'stin.
guishcd officers have been arrsgned, to
show cause. It they could, why so much
blood has been split, and treasure expsn.
ded, when nothing. and less than nothing,
has been performed as an Offset, have
served rather to contrast the benigni'y Of
our excellent government with that OF the
Grand Turk. where the head of the IN.
successful captain is always thrown to the
multitude, to account, as best It can, for
It's own Deficiencies. or the coward,ce Of
