THE SEMINoLEs.-A letter in the Alexandria
Gazette, dated at Tampa Bay on the 18th instant,
says that at no time, perhaps, since 1885, has
there been more decided inclination to 'keep the
peace, on the part of the Seminoles, than at pre-.
sent The writer has inst read a private letter
from highly respectable scource, written at
Caroosa haichee, the head quarters of the Indian
agency, in which it is stated that the renegades
who spirited away white boy last summer will
be delivered up in few days, and that the chief
and his people ardenty desire peace; while every
disinerested person, the writer says, must admit,
that on the delivery of these fugitives they will be
justly entitled to peace, and that they will have
then acted fairly in every case where the violaors
of law have been required at their hands,
