GOOD NEWS FROM FLORIDA.
SAvANNAu, September IS.

SAVANNAH, SVFIVIIIUVT 20.
BY the arrival yesterday of the United States
steamer Gen. Taylor, Capt. Peck, we have the
cheering intelligence of the coming in of sixty
Indians, and the prospect Of upwards of two
hundred more, they having promised to meet Col.
Worth at Pease Creek on the 22d inst. These
Indians belong to Hosptaki's band, and include
the whole Of this indom,able Chiefs people.
The prospec, OF closing this long and interim
nabe war brightens every day under the auspices
of the gallant Worth. The blow was long since
struck by Col Harvey which soon will give
peace to Florida and we confidently believe that
with the commencement of the new year the
long desired result will be accomplished.
