Major Beknap has, through The aid of one OF
Captain Pages delegation, succeeded in bringing
in fifteen hostiles, among them the chief of the
Taahassees and his fnmily. He expects to bring
in some twenty or thirty mere, and Inns his run
ners out now negotiating with them. Detach-
ments from our command have been pretty con-
stantly out, scouting and escorting, but have met
with none OF the enemy yer in the field. We
have here a report that Gen. Read, with a large
detachment of volunteers, surprised party near
Deadman's Bay, taking six warriors and Two ne
groes. The General is now on his way with his
prisoners TO Fort Macomb. The expr also
brings intelligence Of forty Indians having come
in ut Fort King. Two Indians were killed and
one wounded by the Georgia volunteers, hileen

BY an examination of these tables, it will he
seen that the white population has increased in II
very uniform ratio from 1870 to the present time /;
the increase in no decade being less than "a per
cent. nor more than 36.l per cent. The ratio of
increase among the free colDred people has been
very huctunling; but taking the colorcd popula
ton en- masse slaves and free, the fucIualion has
been moderate down TO 1880, and the average ra-
ito Of increase nearly great MS among the whites
But for some reason or Other (perhaps the Abo-
ltioniss explain it,) the ratio of increase for
the last ten years has been greatly reduced, both
among f ee negroes and slaves. A few have gone
to Texas and Canada, perhaps 10000 in all, but
this affords II very imperfect explanation Of the
phenomenon.
Since the above WINS in type we have received
the complete returns of the census OF Pennsylva-
MAJ whole population l,7G3,5il, being 63,s2i
more than is given in the tables. Also from I'LL
nois: whole population 6lO3, being SO, 1869
more than stated in the tables.

Leod in case he had actually entered into BAIL
They however appointed a committee to wait ND
