Indians In Florida.

From the correspondence OF the Jacksonville Repub
lican we CLEAN, says the Savannah Republican, the
following facts in relation to the pursuit of the Indians
in Florida:
The little band of volunteers, some forty in number,
under Major General Hopkins, together with COL Hart
and Others from Jacksonville, were at Meonve, lake
Munroe, the 9Th inst. message from MIR. John
Houston informed the party that fire had been the
the work of Indians Upon this assurance the band i'm
medatey took up their line Of march for that neghbor
hood and secured the country the side Of the ST.
Johns down 10 the waters OF the Indian river The
country found all burned of; and whites lived
travelled through that section the conclusion arrived
at was that Indians be somewhere in the vicinity
Their efforts discover them were however, unavailiDg.
On the supposIon that the Indians may have passed TO
the other side OF the ST. Johns, the party crossed that
river, and renewed their explorations the western
bank. Ga the 9th inst. the band arrived at Orange
Mount above lake Harvey. Here they met lighter
with provisions, which had been previously ordered
by the general 10 be al that point upon their arrival
From this point their operations to be folows
small detachment was to be sent TO Fort Gatlin to
protect the families in that neghbohood, Indian signs
had been discovered within twenty miles Of that place
Another division 10 accompany the general up the
river boats The swamps and creek along the
ST. Johns TO Fort Taylor. on lake Winder; and third
detachment 10 be sent by land TO explore The country
on The left bank OF the ST. Johns, the party I'M
der The general al Fort Taylor where the band again
10 concentrate. IL ia
The correspondent then says " The utmost cheerful
ness prevails notwithstanding the hard service the COM
uand has undergo Indian signs have been seen, and
we are sanguine that shall be able TO push the ma
RAIDERS back TO their limits, we shall not succeed
capturing them"
