l assure you from information derived from
every part Of the Territory..it is certain that
there are no depredations committed by the
Indians. They will emigrate in the fall. 1t

gy and vigilance Of the Commanding
General Had he, Gas many officers believe
he ought to have edone-surrounded and made
prironers of Micanopy. Jumper, and others en-
camped near Tampa, he would have lost the
influence of the first named Chief, who had
500 devoted warriors in his band. The act
would have been highly extollel and shed
some glory on the General but Florida would
have bled at every pore. ..

press which arrived here on Thursday from
Gen. Jesup's Head Quarters, that information

but the most friendly intentions as usual. Or
ders however have been given to the COM
manders of posts to be on the alert. 1t is
said to be Gen. .Jessup's opinion that they
contemplate an attack.upon some point; he.
has gone TO- Fort King. Gen. ]. has ordered
the purchase of horses and mules for the en-
suing campaign. "
