THE FLORIDA INDIANS There are indications
of renewal of the Indian hostilites in Florida
"Billy Bowlegs" refuses to comply with the treaty
he made with the United States Government, and
preparations are In progress to force him to it,
Billy, when in Washington, agreed to evacuate
Florida and 60 west OF the Mississippi to territory
allotted him by Government. Billys iather-in
law, Okeeohanki objected, said he was born On the
soil, and II shouli cover his bones, that he and
'noBe of his blood should quit 1t for Internal 10
reigners" This good native doctrine does not &C.
cord with the faith OF treaties and the Government.
intends to scatter It's regulars and the volunteers Of
Florida, brigade OF which has been mustered into
the service, throughout the Indian country, invi-
ting attack, though 1t will not commence the as
eault. The Philadelphia Ledger, alluding to thi.
subject, says I'VE do not know that any particular
mischief hrises from the presence of the few Semi
noles who are now in Florida; every year viii d.
min ish their numbers, and their ability to comm
depredations is entirely gono.'
