FEnM FLORIDA We have information from Florida
by officers Of the T. S Army, who left there six days
ago II is stated that the Indians coming in pencca-
bly from every quarter and that several hundred now
collected al Fort King The most confident belief is en-
,er,aued BY The officers of The Army that the war is IN
reality, ended murder committed near PlcoIaia,
q few days ago, but il supposed TO have been The
work Of a white man and negro. The Indians declare
their determination abide by the Treaty. and their ac-
tons, so far, show that they are IN earnest whether
they will continue in this mind say. But we
trust that the anlcpa,ions Of the officers OF The Army
may oil be realized, md hat we may say, al last that
