THE FLORIDA WAR.--A letter from an officer
Of the Army, tuow in Florida addressed to his
friend, the Editor of the Political Arena, under
date of Jan. 25, gives some further particulars of
the encounter with the Indians, which may be
interesting TO our readers, US follows:
"'Fhe battle lasted only an hour or two, when
we drove them in'evcry direction. Our loss WAS
only eight killed, and thirty-three wounded, two
since dead No officer wounded but Gen. Jes
mp, who received slight wound below his lett
eye.
''NVe made no prisoners, and found only two
dead Indians on the battle ground we have,
however, captured several hundred head of cat
tie.
The Indians were posted in very thick ham
mock, with deep stream. running through it A;
they were stationed along the stream, behind
trees and stumps, in which they had cut notches
to rest their rifles in. 1t was extremely difficult
to penetrate the hammock, and particularly UNI
comfortable, Us the Indian rifles balls flew thick
and fast, and the stream was not fordable, but
deem enough 10 swim both man and horse"
The same officer in the following rcmrrks,
discoses Il feeling, in regard 10 this war; which
we believe is very prevalent among the officers as
well Of the Navy as Of the Army;
IL ieryenty hope this is the last war INDIAN
war at east) that it will ever he my fate 70 Fpar-
cipate in. 1t is faliguing cheerless, and every
way Observation-Disclosures is seldom any thing
TO animate or clivcn us, except such an atlais as
we had yesterday, which cXcitcs us little but
the only pleasure il could give would and did
arise from the hope that it has tendency to close
the war, and allow us ito return to our friends
and families. 1t is no cause for triumph to
beat and drive the poor miserable Indians, who
are desperately and ohstnatcly contcnding tor
their natural rights and possessions, against most
unequal forces"

DEATH OF OCEOLA.

We announced the death Of this distinguished
Indian Chief last week. Subsequent accounts
state that his complaint was the Quinscy, and
llat owing to the influence of conjurer or Doc
tor, his physician was debarrod the privilege of
administering the proper remedies. Surgeon
Weldon, who had been called in, says: ole was

Tuition aud respiration, accompanied with pain
and inflammation ottIle tonsils To prevent suf-

an erect position His pulse was full, quick aud
hard. Blood was instantly drawn, and an emetic
and blister prescribcd.'' But the presence Of
the Indian Doctor deferred Occo}d from submit
ting to this treatment. Professor Suoebel, of
the Medical College, was then called in, and he
described his visit in these words:

FROM THE FRONTIER
The Albany Advertiser of Monday says

The Albany Advertiser of Monday says:
As we have all along suspected, their is more
trouble brewing by the Canada Patriots. The
Western mail yesterday brought Intelligence that
the scattering Navy Islanders were concentrating
near Detroit where several hundreds-as was
supposed, for their numbers precise where
about appear not to have been clearly understood
were collected on the 10th inst. and supposed
to be awaiting the appearance of II commander
in chief.-Dunconbc and Sutherland were IL
mong them, but still the stor.spirit appeared
to be wanting.
General Brady, of the United States Army,
who few days before had thought it unnecessa
ry TO call lhe militia into service, believing the pa
triot ordor completely quclcd, and the tranquil
ty OF the frontier permanently established,
has called upon Governor Mason for six compa-
MES of troops with the necessary officers, stating
that from information ust received, he is conVin-
ced the neutrality othc frontier cannot be prcserv
cd without additional troops.-I'he requjsition OF
Gen. b. was promptly complied with by Govern
or Mason.

Hoan 0monnt of arms and ammunition deposited in
%o Vicinity of the frontier, with view to future
tno when Heaven shall favor them with an
Pornnity of redressing their wrongs and of Sc
crprring and establishing their rights. Now, we are
;f,rmed upon authority in which we coniide, that
,ho officers Of the General Government, Civil and
Military, arc empowered and directed to capture
and detain all such munitions Of war.-under such
circumstances, we feel it important to inquire by
2ghat aUarrant Of lao right these orders issued
and these captures attempted We understand the
bill before Congress to contain provisions which
fully cover the ground; but that bill has not passed
into a aw-and for the honor of nation Of trecmen
we pray God it never may And if the officers
aforesaid are legally clothed with the power they
arc directed to exercise there is necessity what
ever for such law, for they are invested with as
ample powers without it as with it. If it be TACT
that this is q mere assumption Of power or is de-
rived from forced construction of existing treaties,
or the laws Of nations; it is time that the press ana
the people should speak out upon the subject, we
have been waiting for others to take the leaa-nna

the intention is seriously entertained, of compelling
these oppressed eXes to leave this free soil, and
return where their heads will pay the Forfeit WHAT

UPPER CANADA.

(DETRoIT, Feb. ii, 1888
Sir: regret to inform you that, contrary to
my most confident expectations, this frontier is
again thrown into Il state Of confusion, by the
appearance of the force recently dsbanded ut
"Navy Island" | have no idea that this assem-
blnge of persons can make amy effective impress
sion on the Canadian shore but the fact of their
appearance is calculated to keep this side of the
line in continued ierment, and the opposite
shore in constant state Of alarm and apprehcn-
sion.
The Patriot forces so called, are ct present
scattered in detached parties, in different dIrec-
tons, preparatory to II movement against the
Canadian frontier on the 22a of the present
month Their arms and munitions Of war are
in boxes, and are conveyed through the conn
try as merchandise If the existing law would
permit the seizure of these boxes, Oh reasonable
suspicion that they contain the weapons for an
cxpendion against foreign power at peace
with the Government of the United States, the
parties could at once he dsartued, and permanent
tranquility restored to the frontier.
With this view, General Brady has dctelnin-
ed to despatch an express to Washington, urging
immediate passage, by the House OF Representa-
lives, olthe bill which has recently passed the
Senate for the preservation of our neutrality with
foreign powers. | concur fully with the General
in his views of the necessity of such law and
would most earnestly, but respectfully suggest
that you should present such considerations to
the House Of Representatives as will secure the
immediate passage of the bill above referred TO-,
delay.
With sentiments of the highest consideration,
have the honor 10 be your obedicnt servant,
