The Washington Globe says, Intelligence has
been received in this city from Florida that on the
night of the 2lst Of January, Tiger Tail, who was
left In temporary charge at Tampa Bay Of the Tai
lahassee Indian camp, Tin the absence Of his bro
ther, the Chief Neathlock-a- mathla,) made an at
tempt to escape with the whole band. The guard
discovered the movement in time 10 partially de.
feat it, and thus only Tiger Tail, with three warriors
cape. The wife and only child, lad Of fifteen, Of
Tiger Tail, who broke from the camp, were soon
captured, and are now in possession of the army
His escape is not regarded as of much importance;
tor, his family being in captivity, and, as 1t were,
held hostages, he will doubtless either surrender
himself or take good care TO avoid committing any
act Of hostility while his wife aud sen remain in
possession of the whites.
