Dur ine the conference the Indians acknowledged ilia! they had lost 133 men at the battle of Withla- coothee. They gave information of Gen. Clinch’s movements to Gen. Gaines, and told within an hour what time ha- would arrive. Micatiopy, the head chief, they said, had fired Iml one gnu during the war. He hid hid fits choice offered him cither to fight or die lie chose the former itid raised his rifle aud shot Major Dade. He iiuraedi.itely retired to his town where ho has remained ever since.

This movement will tuko away every man, leaving us entirely dcfeiicle«9. We understaud that Gen. Eusti9 has left orders to cause a sufficieut number of arms to be deli vered upon the requisition of Gen. Hernandez, fur the use of the inilitia.

From thence they marched south following up two small trails, ns fat ns l)uitn'> Lake, and finding it impossible to overtake file Indians, they proceeded to St. Joseph’s. One of the trails led towards Volusia, and the oth towards Mosquito. Extract of another letter. "Since Gen. Gaines left YViihlacoochy. noth ing new has transpired iu the army.
