Late from The Mdians.-We have re-
cent accounts from Tampa Bay, which
state that several OF the chiefs aud warriors
had come in, aud informed the Command
ant that the Indians were generally desl-
rous of aking peace, an'l wished fora tax
with the whites. Alec 1asa nuggce, the
principal chief, and Tiger Tail, were AT
Tampa. and hal agreed to remain as hos,
rages for the attendance "fllc cheIs and
warriors of their nation, at the talk, which
had been appointed at Fort King on the
7th instant.
The whites have so often been cheated
and cajoled by the lrcachery of IN" Indians.
that no reliance should he placed on their
promises, or confidence given to their
s,arencnts. If they have Alec Tus,cnug
gee and Tiger Tail, we hope they will be
properly taken care of and no, be suffered

found they had scarcely freed themselves
from the paint with which they had been
painted TO prevent detection. They als'
found on still closer examination Of the
proofs of their connexion with the Indians

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
BY recent communications from Texas.
it appears that her good fortunes are alone,
"qualled bv the energy and intrepidi'y
of her brave citizens.
The war with Mcxicn, is not only vir-
Iuaiiy and Iriunrphantly terminated IN he
part of Texas. but The Federalisrs. " no
are but another name for Texans, have
declared themselves snvercigns Of Mexico.
TfTcxas and Mexico unile in one happy
Republic, combining al once more cuugen-
ialiy of soil aud climate for the American
character. than any other portion in our
bnastcl Columbia, having the U. Staes
for her sister and model, she must at no
very distant day, be the glory Of civilized
nations.
The past season in Texas has alike,
with our Western States, been unusu
ally sickly, yet small portion only of the
cases have been fatal. The diseases of
Texas are chiefly chils and levers, which
assume, for the most part, quite mild
form. The malignity of type which has
characterized various forms of fever 0c.
CURING in the Southern States for the last
few years, appears to he greatly mcliora-
ted hy The saluhrious sea breeZes, with
which Texas is so happily blessed.
The :" hard lines" which has consIitu-
ted The all-absorLing theme of the good old
farmers, and The less prudent merchants,
for the last three years. have also visited
Texas, hut like The ball, put in motion
by the explusinn of gun. powder, distance
has exlinguished lis tcrrnrs. Several cir
cumsIances combine in mitigating The
commercial embarrassmenis If Texas.
The most prominent Of which appear TO
be the inducements offered by the fertility
of her soil, 10 the mouornania farmers of
the West, more especially those Of Louis
lana and Mississippi, who having promis-
ed 10 pay from 25 to $40 per acre for their
lands. now prefer avoiding present diff
cul,ies, at least, oy removing their person.
al properly inro Texas, aud substituting a
soil equally productive. at l to 50 per-
acre. 1t is estimated, by The citizens OF
Mississippi. that ot least twenty thousand
! negroes, and a corresponding number Of
energetic planters have gone, alone from
the Western part Of thai Stale 10 the Re
public of Texas, the present year. The
Assessor from one county alnne in Texas,
