FLORIDA, Feb. 10.
The mercury in the thermometer of our hopes is
still rising and now have the pleasure OF stating that
the band of Ca,sah Tustenugsee, Tiger Warrior) has
faithfully come in and gone to Tampa. This is the
party surprised by Col. Riley; it numbers ~ As
understand Col. Worth is cooperating with Col Har-
ney in the everglades think from the efforts of such
brave and energetic spirits have much to hope be-
sides they seem to have adopted the proper mode OF
fighting the Indians. You will probably hear of their
operations via st. Augustine soon.
Yours truly.
TALLAHASSEE, Feb. 13.-Letters from Tampa state,
that between $50 and 400 Indians have come in. Two
hundred of them to be shipped Oft to Arkansas on
the st instant. THIS looks if the Indians were be-
ginning be tired of the useless contest in which they
are engaged. Should the of the coming in Of 30
of the Mcasukle tribe be confirmed, we have little
doubt but that few months will terminate the Indian
war.-Fl0ridtaR.
BY the packet Isis, Capt. Pitcher, have re-
ceived from intelligent Correspondent the follow
ing confirmation OF favorable reports, heretofore pub
lished:
Correspondence Of the Savannah Georgian, Of Fb l9l
FLORIDA, Feb. 10.
Three hundred or more of the enemy are at
Tampa-they have smoked the pipe OF peace and
agreed to emGrate, but lest their modesty should re-
ceive shock, they have stipulated that Government
shall provide them with clothing previous to their de-
parure, and the General has despatched steamboat
to New Orleans for wearing apparel TO be distributed
among them
party of Taahassees headed by their Chief, and
accompanied by one of the Arkansas delegation, halted
at Fort Clinch short time since, their way to Tam
pa Whilst there Tigerta (whose ubquity is unques-
tionabe sent his brother TO visit them, and possible
prevent them from going in. The Arkansas Indian
made known the object Tigertail endeavorlng TO
effect through the agency OF his brother, which SO en-
ragged the latter that he sprang upon him with his KNIFE
and inflicted two slabs The Pease Creek In
dams sent word to of the head men OF The de-
legation that they will take his life if he presumes to
venture among them If the delegation effect nothing
more than the creation of peace party among their
brethren, they will have accomplished much-Presnmp'
tive evidence that their statements have been OF service
in the recent negotiations to be found in the appa
want of unun'mty among the Indians as eyinced
by their late councils.
MANY are OF the opinion that the General will emf
crate large party, but for do not believe tina
any treaty spulatons will be found binding on the par
ofihe Indians Purity of purpose and rigid adherence
to plghted faith form part of the Seminole character
iiarneyze Mr. Tigertal and few others OF n snlla
character take the field and keep it, and the next hal
century may witness the termination of the Florid'
war 'remporising measures, though aided by gaan
"Duke" whose bugles have sent forth naughty de
fance' at TIE edge every hammock that SKIRTS tn
Tampa road will put end to the existing iostil
ties-for such music, though accompanied by the 'Poml
and circumstance of war has charms TO soothe TIT
sayaue breast Yours, truly.
