GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
From the New-York Spectator

HhoKlDA.-A slip from the Savannah !
GEORGIAN contains the following extracts .
from the jacksonville Courier of March
~ 1t Will be seen. that the expectation of
on ending to the war, by the surrender of
Oseo la and other hostile chiefs, is not so
confidently anticipated as it was fortnight !!
since
The prospect of peace which three
weeks ago opened bright and beautiful
upon US, is glowing dim and indistinct
with the smoke and clouds Of anticipated
and renewed warfare. The day of peace, !
like the long sought land of Italy, reced-
ing before the Trojan Acneas. flies before
us INTO the future. TIE prospect is view
ed now through the dimness ofdistance-t
and the " distance lends no enchanlment

mountains in It's azure hue"
After all the time spent-all the indul-
gence given, ali the credit vouchSafed TO
the Seminole chiefs and their NIunchausen
tales of being tired of war, of wishing to
surrender, they have not vet come in-or
had not at the last intelligence from Fort
Armstrong. Mlcanopy, Phillip, and o.
cola, have young warriors, yet unsubdued,
unhumbIed, proud, daring, and as greedy
/ for the battles broi as ever.
Our confidence, even what little we had.
Of the war being over, is growing fainter
and taintcr-becau>e the indians linger
in coming in-ttcv have not done as
Jumper and Alligator promised. They
seem to be acting q deceptive part-t4ev
arc manGuvering, and are ambiguous and
enl gmatical In their talks" 50 far as We
can Judge from what we hear And be-
cause Gen. Jcsup himself, in our opinion,
places very little confidence in those chiefs
who have come in.
-, Every preparation is being made to
prosecute the war News from Volusia
, on the 9TH inst. says, that nothing late had
been heard there from Dade's battle
ground-and nine companies, under It.
Col. Harvey, were TO have left that place
on the Sth inst for Fort Mellon at Lake
Monroe. Provisions, s.oros lumber &C.
: are being transported thither, as if an active
campaign were commencing.
We fear Gen. Jesup has lost time By
his humanity, in giving the hostiIes the
time they asked TO surrender. That thew
will surrender, there are yet hopes, slight
hopes. Daily we expect to hear some.
thing decisive on this point. We must
wait for what time will bring 10 light
FRoN SMYRNA.-The Boston papers
OF Wednesday contain few farther ex-
tracts from the Smyrna paper from which
we gather the following.

whole number of Greeks who had died
Of this disorder in Constan;inople and en-
virons had been 4,3O3 1t was inferred
from this statement, that the mortality had
t not been near so great as had been surpos-
ed, and it was understood that the Jews,
the Americans and the Catholics had not
suffered so severely as the Greeks.
The following remarkable story is rela

! to the country near Adrianople, for the
t purpose of being removed to a distance

prevailed in the city. He had remained

one day he took a fancy to shoot a crow
= which was passing over his head. His
7 children picked up the crow, and played

successfully seized with the plague, and

entirely deserted, all its inhabitants having
