The 9TH Infantry still in active pursuit of DC

the posts on the Gulf OF Mexico now occupied by
the 81 Artillery, is eit TO the discretion OF the Col.

Nothing more has yet been heard Of the Creeks
engaged IN the late attack on Lieut. Bakers party.
| Their number was from ten TO fifteen. The mes

no, think II proper 10 trust him out Of his sight.
Tiger Tail was supposed to be with the Creeks.
The most authentic accounts agree in stating that
there are now no, more than 25 warriors north OF
the Withlacooehee, and about the number south

Prophet. Ii is not little singular that sam Jones
has not been heard of for mere than a year. Not
one OF the expeditions sent into the Everg AIDES has
stumbled upon his camp or has found the least trace

nal inhabitants of the territory at the beginin. of the

complete list of oil the warriors in the country
which he has kept for a long time past Each sue

moderated the numbers.
The armed occupation Of Florida is going on ra-
pldly, and the recent events there, will not we are
assured, any change IN the policy of the com.
mandIng officer. II is well TO reflect that no new
State was ever settled in this country vet, without
many conflicts with predatory bands of Indians
Not single instance can be named in our history
where the pioneers have not had more or less dam
ger 10 encounter. To pick up the small remnant OF
the hostlles on surface OF $4,000 square miles is
an OBJECT by no means commensurate with the ex-
pense OF maintaining several regiments of troops in
me country for the performance OF a duty which is
almost physically impossible, when the numbers Of
the enemy are reduced.
Settlements have been made in Florida a, the fol.
