From the National Gazette.

The following publication from the Ar
my and Navy Chronicle seems to have
been authorised by the War Department
and may be regarded as a correct state
ment Of the plan of future operations in
Florida. The point is now conceded, after
years oftrouble and a loss of life and mo-
ney wholly exceeding the object, that this
object cannot be attained. In a word the
Indians cannot be driven from their fast
nesses and long offensive war results in
merely protective measures against the en-
croachments Of the enemy No mention
is made of bloodhounds, and we presume
the idea which certainly was entertained
ofusing them. is now abandoned The
number of troops to be employed we esti.
mate at about three thousand five hundred.

teeth entire. Upon further examination, il
was found that the whole place was filled
with skeletons of men, women and chill,

Under thesmall aperture through which
they descended, the place was perfectly dry,
and the bones in a state of preservation.
An entire skeleton of the human body was
obtained They concluded to examine
how deep the bones laid, and penetrated
through them in one place between four
and seven feet but found them equally
plentiful as on the Top; but there seemed to
rise an offensive efilpvia as they approach,

no outlet to the room, and a large snake
which they found there, and which appear.

by the States, with delegated, express, ape
circunscribed duties. specified in the consti

by any construction or implication That
the national government is an agent or
servant selected by the States to perform
certain acts, and no other-leaving every
other power whatever to the sovereign
States, who are the masters, and the peo-
pie.
Nor is it less true that the present ad-
ministration of Mr.. Van Buren, affecting
a pure attachment to popular rights, are,
with these professions in the mouth oftheir
party doing all in their power to subvert
the sovereignty of the States--the vital
principle of our existence, and to consoli-
date and centralize new and absolute 60
