THE IHDIANs.-General Macomb has
arrived in the Territory, charged with the
duty of negotiating truce with the Sem
inoles, one of the provisions OF which,
we learn, will be to allow the Indians TO
occupy the country south OF latitude II
80. within a short distance from Tampa
Bay, provided they cannot be bought of.
Whether Sam Jones will grant the gen.
eral an interview is yet unknown-We
think it doubtful. Gen. Taylor, we be-
Iieve, is the only officer who can obtain
an interview with the hostiles. The In
dams say he has never deceived them,
and that they are willing to confde In his
promises of protection.
On the 4th inst scouting party under
Leutenants Todd and Monroe, while
securing Cooks Hammock, on the Steen-
hatchie, discovered single Indian track.
This was followed until the trail became
( large, leading to the camp of the Indians.
The party cautiously approached until
| within a very short distance, with every
probability of surprisingthe camp, when
the alarm was given by squaw.
The Indians were fired upon by the
troops as they fled from the camp but
with little or no effect A large amount
of plumber, clothing, tiinkets, and provis-
ions left in the camp were destroyed by
the troops. The Indians, as usual, es-
capped by their feetness, and better ac
quaintance with the hiding places in the
hammock.
