A letter from an officer of The army, now
in Florida, addressed to his friend, the Ed
itor of the Political Arena, under date or Jau-
uary 25d gives some particulars Of the last
encounter with the Indians, which may be
interesting TO our readers, as folows:--
"Ihe battle lasted only an hour or two,
when we drove them i'll every direction.
Our loss was only eight killed and thirty
three wounded, two since dead.) No Off
Ger wounded but Gen. Jesup, who receiy-
ed slight wound under his left eye.
We made no prisoners and found only
two dead Indians on the battle ground, we
have, however, captured several hundred
head of cattle.
The Indians were posted in a thick ham
mock, with deep stream running through
it; they were stationed along the stream,
behind trees and stUmps, IN which they had
cut notches to rest their rifles in. Ii was
extremely difficult for our men to penetrate
the hammock, as the Indian rifle balls flew
thick and fast and the stream was not for
dablc, but deep enough 10 swim both man
and horse"
The same officer, in the following re.
marks, discloses a feeling, in regard to this
war, which we believe is very prevalent
among the officers as well Of the Navy as
Of the Army:
81 feryently hope, this is the last wal
Indian war at least that it will ever be nv
fate to participate in. II is laligung, cheer
less, and every way uncomfortable. There
is seldom anything to animate or to enl
ven us, except such an affair as we ha,
: yesterday, which excited us a little; hut iii,
only pleasure it could give US would an,
did arise from the hope that it has tenden
cy to close the war, and allow us TO return
to our friends and families. Itis no caus
, for triumph to beat and drive the poor mis-
! cradle Indians who are desperately and OBJ
: stinately contending for their natural right
and possessions, against most uRequa
: forces"
