FLoRlpA CAnPArGx.-By further accounts, it SCENE
that detachment of 200 men had been despatched
by Lieut. Powell nso tho southern reson of the Ever
qlades Of East Fisrda, where they, several occa-
sions saw small parties a Indians, and chased them
but the Indians made their escape into the ham
mocks.
This is what might be expected, the assailing par
" not being woodsmeR and not furnished with bat.
teaux or canoes. Such has been the case through
out the wharf.-the fight begun, but never ended.
BY accounts from Tampa Bay, it seem that Com
modore Dallas was getting out batteaux for the pur-
pose of entering the Everglades This operation al
though badly timed, trust mayb of some use IN
geographical point of view, by throwing further hight
upon the central and incognito part of this non
descript region and in this view think ne would
render an essential service by ascertanng the most
convenient points Of the Everglades from side 10 SIDE
of the peninsula The explorations however, would
be attended with difficulties which we fear ne is not
prepared to contend against, such rainy weather,
and the great extent of surface which the expedition
would have 10 traverse in passing through every d.
rection of SO extended field. Nevertheless we hope
he may succeed in establishing one more positions
which may not only for military posts, but as
places Of rendezvous for future explorers travellers,
or surveyors.
Huntsmen must finish the campaign, unless the
Indians, dispirited by their own want Of harmony
and the military and naval movements which they
perceive around them, make submission now which
they cannot avoid in the end. A hope of an immedi-
ate termination of the campaign we perceive to be ex
pressed in various quarters. May it be realised

After this business had been got through with, the
memorial of the Market Butchers praying for an en-
forcement of the laws against private meat shops,
was brought up for consideration.
