Important from Florida.-By the steam
er Gen. Clinch, Capt. Brooks, arrived
Yesterday from Florida, we have The fol-
lowing letter from one of our correspond
ents. 1t is painful to see SO fine an OPP
porunity pass unimproved. Col. Riley
had been on the trail Of these Indians
three days, when they were surprised.
His men were all anxious for fight, in
order to take their revenge for so tedious
march, during which they had not been
allowed to make fire ut nighr, and were
therefore deprived of their coffee.
Col. Riley is one of those soldiers who
always obeys orders, come what will. We
wish, however, that he had assisted the
party of the enemy 10 the nearest post a,
the point oflhe bayonet.
We are unable to comprehend how it
is, that while various parties of indians
are supplied with "safe conducts" or pass
es, our own troops are ordered to scout,
and operate Extensively. The two condi-
tions seem to be inconsistent, one with the
other.
This state OF things cannot last much
longer. In a fortnight more, we shall
know whether the enemy is 10 surrender,
or whether The ultima ratio" is again to
be resorted to.-Republican.
