THE INDIAN TROUBLES IN FLORIDA.
FIVE SOLDIERS MAsSACRED.
THE COUNTRY UNSAFE FOR WHITES.

Since the aitackupon Lieut.. HartsufTs party, that
portion of Florida along the Indian River and in
the vicinity of Fort Myers has become very un-
safe for whites. Stragglers from the Fort, or ad-
venturers in pursuit of game in those wild, but
hitherto peaceful hunting districts, are fred upon
by yellow miscreants concealed behind trees and
in the chspparal.
We have Just received authentic information of
another attack equal in atrociy to that committed
upon Lieut.. Hartsuff's squad. 1t is letter from
an officer dated:
"FoRr MYERS, Saturday, Jan. 10, lsj6.
IAN express has just arrived from Fort Deynaud
with news of another Indian outbreak. party OF
woodcutters, consisting of corporal and five men,
were fired at by twenty Indians, four miles from the
post One man only escaped he slightly woundedi the
rest were massacred, andtwelve mules killed. Lieut.
Larned Second Artillery, directly went in search of
the savage but though he secured country around
not sign or trace of them could be found and
strangely enough the dead bodies of the men were
also missing there any trace of blood but the
country much under water that blood could easily
be washed away. On his return Lieut.. Webb, Second
Artillery and party went out. They too, explored
every place, but without success the case remains
a mystery The Indians were supposed TO be headed
by an old chief named Okcban.
Repeated scouts have been sent in every direction
through the country from Fort Deynaud since the
affair with Lieut.. Hartsuff, and though they have
frequently Indian hogs they never have seen any
trace of the Indians themselves

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION IN PHILADEL-
PHIA-MR. BUCHANAN A CANDIDATE
FOR THE PRESIDENCY.

PHILADELPHIA, Wednesday, Feb 6, 1856.
The Committee on Resolutions reported to the Con-
yention today the resolutions which were referred to
the Committee yesterday, recommending the delegates
to the State Convention to all honorable means to
secure tho nomination of Mr.. Buchanan. The Con-
yention adopted the resolutions almost unanimously
those voting nay being DESTROYS of passing resolutions
TO the same effect but of more forcible language.
Much confusion was created by the announcement
that the ODD Know-Nothing reporter of The
" Times" was in the roOm and ought to be excluded
portion of the Convention favored ejectng him by
force; Others protested but the reporter finally with
drew at the solicitation of his friends thus ending the
tumult.
The candidates for delegates to the State COnven-
ton took oath this morning that they were not men,
bers of any organization prescribing citizens in con-
sequence of birth place religion, and that they did
not intend to become such.
