OF PEACE AGAIN.
By advises from Fort King % Aug. eeh receiv-
ed At Savannah, We learn thas the celebrated Jno
Hicks, CTuek-ee-batchec-a-hajo) reported dead, 10
alive, aud had come into fort King. He saws that |
he has been hunting on his way from fort Mellon. |
and that he left there ten DAYS ago; expected TO
find the chiefs here, and hos NO doubt but that |
they will be here IN . day o. two, or he should not
have come m; thinks that Powell t0ceoh) will
accompany them; that be y still 1t his camp near
Fort Mellon. He further states that tho Indians
are suffering very much from sickness, and that
they arc destitute Of provisions; that they arc
obliged to scatter themselves over the country to
get game; thinks that the delay is owing to Ho-
latoochee's being 80 far of, near Charlotte Har
Dor, and his family very sick; that the warriors
have strict orders not to FIRE hostile gun, and as
he cannot have provisions here, asked permission
TO encamp at pond 4 miles of, and at the old
agency for the purpose of hunting, until the chiefs
come in--says that Sam Jones (Apiakce) is now
inclined for peace, that time he thot he would
rather die in the woods than shake hands with q
white man.
Accounts from Black Creek to the 10th, con-
firm the pacific intentions Of the Indians, and
press n conviction that they will embark
as the season will permit. There arc two regi-
ments Of mounted volunteers being mustered in
to service. The citizens come forward for this
corps with the greatest alacrity. A letter wri-
ter speaks highly Of the East Florida militia, but
We do not believe in these invidlous distlnc-
tinctions, aud all such determinations have bad
effect.
Besides John Hicks the sub-chiefs Tuskanuc
kce and Chctoahcar have since como into Fort
king-men that are sent on all occasions by Co
cha 10 and others, when they have business to
transact, informed by Paddy Carr.
They say the cattle driven across the St. Johns
were tw enty in number; that the Chiefs as soon
they knew it sent them of, with orders to drive
back every Indian and to see that no depredations
were committed; that they have been engaged
in hunting up and sending back Indians for 10 or
IL days. That the cattle were driven OIL by In
dams who had left the camp without the knowl
edge Of the Chiefs.
Tuskamuckee proceeds as faT as Micanopy to-
day, the 9Th, for the purpose Of going out with
some Greeks from that post to hunt up some In
dams reported as doing mischief to that vicinity
says he left before the message to the Chiefs was
known; that he had no doubt but that they will
be in, but the rains and distance they are from
each other must have delayed them: talks as il
they were going off in the fall; that Powell says
he will not say a woid, but will agree to whatever
may be determined upon. Paddy Carr was sent
to their camp on the opposite side OF the Ockla-
: whaha, accompanied by Lieut.. R, two DAYS
since, to who and what was there. Lieat.R
reports the crossing very intricate and difficult
and easily Northumberland camp OF seven OF
eight families about three miles from the bank
Eight hostiles arc cncamped by permission fous
miles s. Of fort King, near pond, and Hicks
with two others, between this aud the agency
these are all the camps and all the Indians known
to be north Of the line.
ssSince writing the above, party Of six Mika
suckys from Powclrs camp. have arrived, they
! r.-.s.io, (tho brother-in-law Of PowellO and Ho
nese, Tustenai lice. They will be at the camp a
cross the Ocklawaha, probably this evening, AM
come into tomorrow, or, the streams on the
trail are very high, their arrival may be delayed
"a hours beyond this calculation. They arc
, dcputation, and after seeing them shall send q
special express"
