putiu possession of some lulerestiug information
from Florida, by a geutiraau of tbo Louisia >a

Gen. Scott marched to the OuitbUcoorbee ou

Lindsay firod upon the Indians, who 'after retur

The steamer Sauteo reached this place last
night. It left Volusia Sunday momiug. Noth
ing had been heard from Geu. Eustis. since the
day after he left Volusia.
Tho three divisioos of the army must havo.met
ere this. The cousequeuces we are anxious to

Homo invalids who arrived a few days since
from Volusia,'report that of 700 men, belonging
to Col. Brisbane’s Regiment, 300 were unable to
proceed on the march, through sickness, orca
sinned hy the hardships to which the men were -
unaccustomed, aud the prevalence of tin mcasle-
1 among them. Poor fellows, they doubtless find
that fighting tho Indians is not “what it wa»
-cracked up to be.”
Brigadier Gen Pope has been honorably dis
charged from tho service of the United States by
Major General Macomb, there being no ueed of
so large a force from Geargia as a Brigade.
We learn moreover, that Col Crane is instruc

Extract from the Washington corresponded

“We have a rumor current in this city to-day,
which may be very likely, but on no solid foun
dation, that Gen. Gaines lias been pul under ar
rest, mi charge of having disobeyed orders, <in
shewing himself iu Florida, when he was order
ed to take up a position near the frontier of Texas.
Although the report, sj far as I cau learu, is not
confirmed fcom auj authentic source, it has set
speculation to work, to discern ottiercauses which
may have led to this arrest, and to perplex itself
as to the character of the trihuu d hy which such
a distinguished officer would be tried Bui all
these speculations, iu the absence of any positive
assurance of the fact ou which they may rest,
may he regarded as idle.

broke open his corn crib, cut the cotton bagging
frim his cotton bales, and drove off with them
