bout fortnight since, at Jupiter Creek, South of
Indian River, in with he lost surgeon & four
privaes killed, and one lieutenant and several pr
Yates wounded. They wero compelled to take to
their boats. The Indian force was said to be 3O0
We learn, in addition to the above, that letter
has heen received in this city from Savannah,
which states that tle steamer Forester had arri-
we'd at that port from Florida, bringing the Nolan

had been completely cut up, aud that DR.. Leitner,

| The writer of theabove letter had not time to
communicate particulars, and we would willingly
entertain the hope that this melancholy affair is
exaggerated, but the victories OF the Indians in
Florida, have bee, fully confrme in their ut
most sanguinary "details, that we lear the rePor.

the great steam shpbuilding there will most likely
