Philips' town was the Wa-ka- hnwta. which comprised about 150 warriors, and Eucheo Hilly resided on or near Berresford on the St. Johns, and has about from 25 to 00 warriors. We are induced to believe that Philip aud Euchee Billy have united with the Tnpkolj- ky Indians, and that the increase of Yellow Beard for several years since our informant was amongst them, must have considerably added to their numbers. The negroes are uot taken into this account. On Tuesday inorniug last, intelligence was brought to town by two negroes that a party of Indiaus had made their appearance at Moultrie. about 5 it iles south of this. • The negroes escaped in a boat, and afn short distance from the shore wen fired upon. Tiff party consisted of six' In dians. A company of U. S. troops mounted and Copt. Dumnieu's Company of mounted volunteers, were sent iu pursuit by land, and a detachment of II.

The prospect is, then, that Santa Anna will be aban doned by his government, that Mexico will elect ano ther President, (er some other chieftain usurp’the su preme power.) uitd that the war for the recovery of Texas will be refiewed with increased vigor. But whet will become of Santa Anna? will.he be sacrificed to appease d:e manes of Fannin and his co- martyrs ? We trust uot—we hope not. His death could effect nothiug—It could not restore the dead, nor preserve the liviug. It would have no effect in clos ing the war, and might prolong it. We trust that the wisdom ard moderation ef the Toxian government will adopt a more magnanimous course. Our opinion is, their imperial prisoner wilj he treated with rigor, until the intentions of the Mex. ican government are known: Should that government be disposed to end the war hy acknowledging the In dependence of Texas, Santa Anna will be sfct at large as a condition; should it not do so, he wiR bukept a prisoner during the war—unless Santa Anna should prefer joining the Terian cause!

Houston to laugh over the idea of rite eoot(-uipl,ted conquest. But how feeble are human calculations ! Houston by no means abaiitloiied llte idea of** rioting in the pitlares of the Montezumas.” Santa Anna returned to Mexico, became n brilliant king of a rich and powerful people, a successful soldier in war; in pt-ace, revdt'ug amid the luxuries inf one of the richest nttd most luxurious courts of the earth— Amid this tide t)f successful glory, Houston, fired with liberty and a love of marshal glory, attempts, single handed with a few brave patriots, the con quest of a. portion of his old friend's possession, the very land they were onco about uniting to re volutionize. The proud .Santa Anna, to save a state, has lost an empire! is tumbled ht-adfoug from a lofty throne of regal splendor, a chained slave at the feel of the intrepid Houston ! -How reversiiri'ut are the affairs of human life ! How (let ting and perishable its glories. Houston was to have gone iuto Texas aud kindled the fire of rebellion, whilst Santa Anna fired his friends in Mexico with the same spirit —they were to declare for Houston, aud thus li nked it was thought they could succeed ; ami ea sily would all this have happened' as $auta Anna’s popularity was neur'v equal, and ns it soon proved, even overbalanced his enemy’s; but h" succeeded without Houston's aid. who im* a gnovAil an,i mo-’iiicd soldier, soou however to meet a brilliant reverse, crowning him with a garland of imperishable fame compared to lhe miserable achievement of even a conquest of the palaces ofthe Muntezuinas.

Seminole Wau.—In naming the persons v ho repelled the attempts of Everett and others to justify tlie hostilities of the Seminole* by throw itig the blame on our own citizens and the ad mini, tratioo, we should have mentioned the delegate of Florida, Col. White. We give his speech in our columns to-day. It will be found full of iti- fortnation and perfectly conclusive itt its demon stratiou of the wicked.ucss of those who would make the impression that the Setniuoles have suffered injustice tit the bands of tho President, and are justifiable in their butcheries. This speech alludes to a remarkable fact, which ought to have sileueed Mr. Calhoun’s complniuts iii one House and Mr. Adams’s iu the other as to the President’s course m regard to the '-ietuinoles. It will be seen that white those genticzn n were in tho councils of Mr. Monroe, Geu. Jackson in formed the administration that these Indians ought not to be located iu Florida—that riiey wer vagabond Creeks—aud had no title to the eon - try, aud should be removed from an exposed lior- •tor, vrhirti made them accessible to foreign influ ence. and put it iu their power to receive warlike preparations from those disposed to make thorn mischievous • Contrary to Gcueral Jackson's advice, under Mr. Calhoun’s admiuistratioz of Indian affairs, these Indians were se'tled in a seetioD of country full of fastuessesin its swamps and hammocks, which render it a secure retreat to the savages, while the neighboring icrritoiy is nuire exposed and less capable of defence -than any other frontier of the Union. After baviug disregarded the forecast of the General, iv!h> warned them against settling the Indians in this now that the savage quarter, is it not monstrous It is thought, from former friendship, that Gen. j foe are ayailttitr themselves of the adtautagrs Houston, if consistent with the rules of war aud ‘ - '* -’ u interest of Texas, will-protect the person of San ta Anna. Every policy suggests such a measure at present. If. however, it bo ascertained that .Santa Anna ordered lhe inhiunnu butchery of the gallant Fannin and his compatriots, and Gen. Houston should permit him to escape, his own Iliad should pay the forfeit. “ ’' Gen.
