Eds. Crescent-THe U. S. mail steamer Calhoun,
Capt Bodfsh, from New Orleans ria Tampa Bay, ar
rived the ID inst BY this arrival we are in posses
sion Of the gratifying intelligence that the Semnoes
are making movement towards engrating to the
West In answer to the terms Of capitulaton
tended to them by Major Rector in several talks with
Billy Bowlegs and party that chieftan accompanied
by twenty-five warriors, had arrived at the encamp-
ment at Fort Myers and delivered themselves up.
The tribe are very much scattered throughout the
lower part Of the peninsula, and as soon as this intel
ligence reaches them, they will be likely to follow
their leader. Sam Jones, the head of the party,
does not respond to the call so readily and may hold
out some time pnger, but be and all his warriors win
emigrate. This is the opinion of those best informed
on Seminole matters.
In shipping news there is much of importance.
The ship Rockand, Capt. Brown, has had her cargo
taken out. She has been leaking since the accident
at the rate of feet per hour, and has had steam
pamp in operation every hour, night and day. '1he
Board Of Survey who examined her since the dis
charge say she will require expenditures to the
amount Of $4,000 to make her seaworthy, and then
she cannot rate No. 1. She is insured for $40 600.

ton are damaged and will no doubt be sold. Asa F.
