If the Indians do not romply with tbs terms of
tile Treaty, it is General Scott’s intention to make
them do so, peaceably if they will, or forcibly, if
necessary.
The Florid} ms, not in the field, are generally

The Toxinns have declared their Independence. The
Declaration is a spirited nnd able production, and sets

Gen. Scott arrived t|! Fort Draue on tbo day
before.
The agreement made by Gen. Gaines with the
Indians, with the terms of which we arc furnished
by Captain Marks, is lo the following effect—that
ibe Indians and llieir chiefs should retire beyond
the Oiiilhl-iroochee, and there remain p. neeahly
until the wishes of the Government are known—

1. Called to East Florida by ill* savage mas
sacres ami c-nnflagraiiuu* of the 26lh December,
ami the following mount, the Commanding
General ha-tdy collected, iu l.oui-iniia. the forces
which accompanied him from that patriot c State
These troops, in (lie short spare ol thirty six days,
have marched by land nud water nearly eight
hundred miles— one hundred and forty through
the country occupied by the enemy, whose prin
cipal force they have met. beaten, and forced lo
in ■ fitr peace.
2. These important objects of the campaign
having been accomplished with the hearty and
cordial eo operation ol llr : g. General Cliueh, (to
u hogs sound judgment the defence of this finu-
tier had been wisely confided, and by whose gal
lantry tho enemy had been rhristt-ed on the 31st
December, aud since held m check ::s far as his
limited means would allow.) the troops from
Louisiana lire jd.iccd under his couiin.iml in order
lo guard against the known fuiUilessucss of the
enemy until ifio arrival of iho forces under the
officer charged with the diplomatic arrangements
ol the War Deparlinent. Whenever and as soon
as that officer shall mature his plau o' oper lions
am! accomplish the <|ti!ies assigned him. the for
ces from Louisiana will.return to New Orleans.
:i. Thc coniminding General cannot, consist
ently with his views of propriety, take leave of
the troops, by whom bo litis been so manfully
sustained, without tendering them ins grateful
qckii'MvIcdgmeuU for the et tstnuey and courage
w jilt.which they have pet fumed every duty, and
borne privalious the recital of wli cb would not
fad lo cotnmnmi the admiration of the virtuous
Western Indians.
From the liultindre American.
A highly interesting aud important expedition
was made last summer by Got. Dodge and a
troop of dragoons from Fort Leavenworth.—
Got. Dodge’s journal, with otlier documents re
lating to the expedition, has receutly been pub
lished by order of the Senate, beiug iu the form
of a Report from tho Secreta y of war.
Taking with him force companies of Uuited
States Dragoous, amounting iu all to about one
hundred and twenty men, and two swivels {three
pounders.) Col. D. set out On the 2i)th of May,
ascended the Missouri to the inoulhol the Platte
nr s’hallow river, thcuco up tho Piatte to its i
Forks, thence up the South Fork to the Rocky
Mountains; theuee southerly along the edge of
the Moiiuinius in the Arkansas river, (the boun
dary line between the United States an i .Mexico
thence down the Arkansas, aud hack to Furt
Leavenworth, which be reached on the 15th of
September without accident or o isfortuno (ex
cept tho loss of one man by sickness) having inar
ched sixteen hundred miies.
On tho route the expeditiou passed through
various tribes of Indians, fr. queutiy halting in
their villages. The talks had w ith them in their
Councils are given iu full in the Journal, and
show imt only tho most friendly disposition to-
w aides ihe liiiitcd States; nud a great reverence
and respect lor them, hut a williugucss to be in
fluenced by them, as some of them have been al
ready —in tbeir relations amoug themselves.
Col. Dodge thinks that if an agency were es
tablished hv our government at the Fort aud tra
ding establishment of Megsres. Beat and tit. Vraiu
on tho Arkuusas River, one hundred and thirty
miles from tile Rocky .Mountains, peace might
ill a few years be restored among all the diflerem
tribes iu this portion of the country. This posi
tion possesses he thinks, several advantages
which recommend it as a point for establishing iiu
agency. It is a central point where tbo Indians
near the Rocky Mouutuius all collect. Being
morever close ;o the boundary hue, the move
ments of the Mexicaus could bo watched, aud the
earliest intelligence thereof communicated,
Gencial Gaines, in transmitting the letter aud
journal of Col. Dodge, to the Adjutant Gen. at
Washington, speaks in the highest praise ol tho
su*es< of tho expedition, in wn.ch. ho says.—
‘tinauy nations oflndians woie conferred with,
and most judiciously impressed w ith the justice,
humanity ma^nainity aud poicer of our govern
ment aud couutry.” Ho adds that it requited
great vigliance, care, and prudence, on the part
of the Colonel aud his Officers, aud coustaiit at
tention, obedience, aud fiedlity, on ihe part of
the men, to have conducted such au expeditiou
with so many favorable results, to the servic - to
ibe ludj ids and tbe frontier inhabitants.
Mount Pleasant, March 16, 1836.
To Colonel Howell Cobb,
Sir—It aflotils mo a considerable) degree of
pleasure so early to have an opportunity of detail
ing to, and through you to my fellow-citizens
of Houston county aud of Georgia, (ho circum
stance* which have brought us so much earlier to
our homes thau was expected by you or ourselves
when wo left.
Upon our arrival at Dublin, I met wi»h Capt.
'. H Kenan, oil the lltli day of February, and
it was there deemed advisable by him to proceed
oq without awaiting the arrival of tho other troops
that were to rendezvous at that place. From the
solicitations of Captains Malpue and Douglas. J
awaited their arrival at Hawkinsville, Pulaski
County, and proceeded with them aud Captain
Swiney’s command to Picolata. Capt. Kenan,
iu consequence of being alone with his command,
was enabled to get to Picolata four or five days
earlier than we did. Ou our arrival at Black
creek, thirty miles from Picolata, wo met some of
Cnpt. Keuan’s command ou tbeir return home,
they were asked by us, generally, the cause of
their return, they gave us in answer, “that Gen.
Scott had required them to muster in as regular
soldiers, am! they had not becu informed by the
Executive, or otherwise, that these requisitions
would ho made of them, and thought it au indig
nity ofiercti to Georgia Volunteers to make such
requirements of them, and, therefore would uolbe
mustered iuto service.”
1 w ent oil with my command to Picolata, and
on the next day after our arrival, Lieutcuaui
Chambers, of the Uuited States’ army, crossed
tbe river St. Johns, fromGcii. Scott’s quarters, to
muster us into service. My company was the
first, aud I accn.dingly had them paraded and ii-
sed every exettiou that 1 was capable of to re
concile the feelings of my company to come under
tbe army regulations of the United States troops,
aud reminded them lhai ihe houorof our coiiuty
and Statu was cou'-erncd iu their movements;
that l>y refusing to go iuto service, they might
blacken their own characters au'i the county and
Slate from which they came. 1 then requested
of Lieut Chambers the privilege of reading lo
m v company (he laws and regulations they would
bo bound to obey, and when i thought these se
vere, would stop reading and give to it the best
construction 1 was able to do. After reading the
army regulations over, I handed the roll of my
company to Lieut. Chambers, and out of fifty-
seven men, officers and privates, there were hut
twenty-five, including the officers, that would be
mustered iuto the set vice. I was then told .‘>y
i.ieut. Chambers that my company could not bo
received; I bad been previously informed by Cap!
Kenan that he had been received by Gen. Scott
with twenty-seven incu ; 1 therefore determined
to make a tender of those that had agreed lo fol
low me. to Gen. Scolt. I took with me the Cor
nel ot my eompauy, Cullen Webb, and crossed
tbe river, and appeared before Geu. Scolt in per
son. 1 met Gen. Scolt on (bo wharf, and stated
to him my exerlious to muster my command into
the service, aud what 1 had been able to do, which
statements were corroborated by oue of his own
officers who had witnessed the whole transaction.
