spirit Of the Indians, Their Chief, discioim all
sponsibiiify for The Mtrder9s- Energy qf Capt.
Casey and prompiitude Of Gen. Ticiggs.
FoRT BRooKE. Tampa Bay, (Fla.,) Sept 6.
Editors Delta In my last letter stated that Cap
tain Casey, of the Commissary Department, had
left few days since for Sara Sota about forty
miles south, between Tampa Bay and Charlotte's
Harbor, for the purpose of holding talk with the
Indians. Yesterday the steamer Ashland, with
Captain Rains company on board, started 70 take
Captain Casey from Sara Sofa 10 the place where
the trading house, burned, Pease Creek,
should the Indians not have come in but at the
mouth of the harbor the steamer met the captain
his return TO this place, having accomplished the
object Of his mission. II seems that Bow Legs had
sent in a white flag some time since, intimating
desire 20 hold a talk and accordingly at the time
indicated three runners, sent by him and Sam
Jones, came into Sara Sofa, stating as follows
That the same party Of four young men committed
both depredations, crossing rapidly from Indian
River 10 Charlotte's Harbor, and intended, inme-
diately after the latter outrage, TO commence kill
ing the settlers their object being 10 get the nation
into difficulty probably, well as the prospect Of
plumber. Sam Jones having received information
of the murders on Indian River, Immediately sent
off a party in pursuit. who, however, was not able
TO overtake the murdercrs till a few hours after
they had burned the store at Pease Creek, when
they came up with the party, and have them now
in custody.
The chiefs, Sam Jones, Bow Legs, etc, disclaim
all intention Of hostilites and express Themselves
strongly in favor Of peace with the whites. These
two chiefs, hearing Of the difficulties, sent out
runners in all directions, ordering their young men
10 keep within their boundaries-and hence the
reason that no Indian has been seen since the de-
precautions. They express Themselves anxious TO
hold talk with General Twiggs, who, according
ly will leave this place for Charlottes Harbor 40 as
TO arrive there on the 18th instant, which Is the
time fixed for the grand talk, when IL is sup
posed the murderers viii be given up, and every
thing ancably settled Thus, through the exer-
tons and perseverance Of that most estimabie ON
Ger, Captain Casey, joined to the energy and dis
erection with which the military movements have
been conducted by General Twiggs, Is TO be
ascrbcd, mainly, the fair prospect OF setting TINS
difficulty will, the Seminole Indians, thus saving
the United States another Florida war, with its at
tendsnt expenses and horrors
So far the fourth artillery have been the only
troops operating in this region, the seventh infan-
try not as yet having arrived, and the second artil-
ery being the other side of the peninsula at or
near San Augustine the fourth artillery has eight
companies in Florida, two in Texas, and one in
Missouri A.

Mississippi Election.

The canvass in this State is going on
with spirit and zeal on the part of the
friends Of the Administration, that is wor-
thy the emulation of every State where
the fall elections have not yet transpired.
LUKE LEA, the Taylor candidate for Gov
ernor, is devoting his undivided time to adj
dressing the people; and at his opponent,
General QUITMAN, he has hurled some
well-directed shafts that have evidently
alarmed both him and his friends. Our
candidates for Congress are doing yeo-
mems service; and the veteran DIR. WINANs
is winning golden opinions among the peo-
pie of all parties wherever he addresses
them.
JACOB THOMPSON, who gained for him
self the enviable notoriety of the Leader in
the crusade against General TAYLOR, in
the effort made by the Locofoco party in
Congress to censure him for his humanity
towards surrendered foe at the storming
and capture of the city Of Monterey, is by
no means as sure of taking his seat in Con-
gress again as he would wish. The peo-
pie of his district seem determined to hold
him to a rigid accountability for his out
rage upon the Hero Of Monterey and Bue-
ma Vista, and we are not without strong
hopes that they'will visit him with their
dispIeasure by permitting him to remain at
home. If there is any such thing as van
gushing Locofocoism in Mississippi, the
friends OF General TAYLOR are determined
to do IT.

The Union excuses the insolence of its
foreign allies, on the ground that foreign
nations have discovered that the people of
the United States have been fools enough
to raise to the Presidency man wholly
incompetent to discharge the duties of his
office, and hence they beliened they could
NTH safety alter their conduct and their
tone Of language IN treating or negotiating
NTH our cabinet"
So the "sole organ" fatters itself that it
has inoculated foreign embassies into the
belief that we have an imbecile for Pre-
sident, and pusillanimous cabal for a
cabinet As matters have gone it would
seem that any one who fashions his diplo-
matte intercourse with the Government
upon the suggestions of the Union will
find out that the g sole organ" is very
silly adviser in the premises.

The French Organ.

The Union alleges that the charge that
the editors Of that paper are in communi-
cation with the French minister, and that
1t is his organ, is gratuitous and false. II
then goes on to say that the information it
has obtained in regard to M. PoUssrN's
movements, which has given an official
appearance to the Union, has been copied
from other papers, especially Wing papers.
Well, then, did it obtain from WIG pa
pers the following eulogistic paragraph on
NJ PoUssTN, which we copy from the Union
Of the 2Sth instantl
awe hear from all sides regrets expressed that
this difference should have occurred with the
French minister, and that some other means should
not have been discovered for srresting its conse.
quences. The minister himself has always been
sincere friend Of the United States, her insttu-
tons, and her interests. He was for many years
employed in our public service. Under these re-
latons he had formed an ardent attachment TO our
country. Il il not presumabe, therefore, that he
would have cast an intentional insult upon our
Government; and in factwe learn that NJ. Poussin
has expressed the deepest regret for what has oc-
'curred, and disclaimed any intention Of rejecting
upon it, members"
From what quarter did the Union obtain
all this intelligence in regard to M. PoUs-
SINS "slncere friendships" and "ardent
attachments and "deep regret" Did

Memoirs Of the Life of William Wirt, 1T
torney General Of The United States, by
John p Kennedy. In tUo uolumes.
Philadelphia: Lee & Blanchard.
This valuable work was received in this
city yesterday, and may be found at Tay-
lor & Maury's. We have already pub
lished extracts from the proof-sheets, and
shall recur to the volumes on an opportu-
nifty OF examination. From hastily run
ming through their pages, we can promise
the reader as much entertainment as might
be expected from the distinction of the
subject and the reputation of the author.
HARPER and BROTHERS have published
a sea-novel by Captain Marryatt, with the
title of The Little Savage; and the third
number of Penoennis, by Thackeray, the
inimitable. A new work of fiction, by the
author of Jane Eyre, was expected by the
same publishers, in proof-sheets, by the
last steamer. They will issue, in a few
days, the second and concluding part of
Inc Cartons, Dy bulWer.
The Southern Literary Messenger, for
September and October, has appeared,
with its usual interesting miscellany
among which are an article on the Italian
novelist .Mmzoni, by H. T. Tuckerman;
and sketch, in three parts, Of II Bache-
lor's Reperie, by TX Marvel, writer who
uses the finest and incest pen Of the day,
and makes his hair strokes without blur or
blemish. He has volume in preparation
for the press, which we believe is to be is
sued by the Harpers, of years Partisan
residence, that will be worth watching for.
We have received Littell's Living age,
No. 2S1.
We have also on our table two brochures
of an almost extinct species-being politi-
cal pamphlets. Time was that nothing
could be done without pamphlets; but we
believe it is now conceded that the col
umns of daily newspaper present the
only available medium of political discus
sion. Few people read pamphlets; nobody
buys them, except they be the six-penny
numbers of the popular novelsts. The
author of pamphlet must publish at his
own expense nowadays, and distribute
gratuitously. Still, however, we wish as
many readers as they merit for two of
them with the following titles:
