LATER INTELLIGENCE.
Charleston. March 81.
Bv the arrival last evening Of the Schr.
S. S. Nils, Capt. SoUTHwIcE, we received
the 81. Augustine Herald Of the 18th, and
q letter from our correspondent at S. Au-
gustine of the l7th inst. which will be found
below.
We learn from Capt. SouTHwIcE, that a
few moments before he left St. Augustine,
an express arrived from Pico!ata dated the
same morning, (lSth inst. which stated that
the Indians attacked that place The previous
night and were beaten otf:-further Capt.
S. could not learn, but this can be relied on.
The buge was sounding as the Mills was
leaving the hurbor, it was said for Capt
HANsoN'S Company 10 muster and march
forthwith to Picoata, or in that direction.
Capt. S. did not understand what he result
was, only that the Indians were beaton off
they carrying with them some horses.
From Volllsia we learn that orders had
been sent to Col. tanning by Gen. JEsUp
that in case he should receive no orders from
the latter 10 the contrary bv .he 7th, he
should again takethe field. In consequence
ofthcse instructions, Col. flaming, with his
command of about 500 men, matched on
the 9Th, for Lake Monroe.
Lieut.. Dell, of Capt Bailey's Company with
a detachment, went on Sunday morning as
soon as he heard of this occurrence, in pur-
suit of the Indians. No human foresight can
prevent those unfortunate occurrence Scouts
were sent out but the day before all around
the settlements in which Mr.. Lang resides,
without finding any signs ofIndians.
These, are doubtless, the same Indians, who |
not long ago, committed in that section, seve- (
raj outrages of the same nature.
We have been favored with the perusal ola |
letter from an officer of the army, dated Fort
Dade, March 9th. 1887, from which the fol-
lowingis is an extract:
"The Seminole chiefs have signed capitu-
lation to-day, by which they bind the whole
nation to comply with the Payne's Landing
treaty and remove west-signed by Holstoo-
chee Micanopy's nephew and for him-by
Yohastoochee, and Casty-tus-te-N Nuggy, and
John Cowen."
The letter ais states that Mr.. B. NJ. Dell's
negroes were taken by the Micasukies. Where
those negroes are is not ascertained.
