FLORIDA. 1 This distressed Territory is still laboring under all the horrors of a savage war; and from the la test accounts, the Indians are no nearer emigra tion now than they were when hostilities first com menced. What to think of this state of affairs we arc at a loss. The forces of the United States have, until now, ever been successful. In the days of the Revolution they could meet undaunt ed and undismayed the armies of England, and prove victorious —in former days an army of sav ;i,res were considered almost harmless, when coin inir in contact with the armies of the United States; but now, (‘tell it not in Gath !’) a few hun dred Seminole Indians can keep her armies at bay, and run the country to enormous expenses. Mil lions have been expended in this war to but very lit tle purpose, further than to till the pockets of many who have made a speculating business of it to the almost entire destruction of a greater portion of Florida. The inquiry then is, who is to blame ? Not the brave soldiers, we are sure, who have vol unteered their sendees, and periled their lives for their country’s sake. They are as brave, chival rous and energetic as their fathers were. The fault then must lie somewhere else, and we are compelled to express our conviction that the guilty arc to be found in those who have had the com mand of this disgraceful affair. An 1 if we are permitted to express our belief upon whose skirts most of this guilt is to be found, we would say to Gen. Jesup as Jonathan said unto David, “'lkon art the man!" lie has had every thing at his com mand to enable hi n to bring this war to a close with honor to himself, anti incalculable benefit to bleeding Florida and the country generally, lie has a line of posts extended from one point of the country to the other, well fortified and manned by brave, willing and obedient soldiers—Steamboats a, his command, furnishing him with a bountiful sup ply for the sustenance of the army—the Indians completely hemmed, and, from all accounts, it tip pears that it is necessary to strike hut one more blow and the work will be completed. Yet, with ail these advantages, according to the last ac counts, (which we insert below,) he wishes the Government to concede a portion of Florida to the Indians, and let them remain where they are, "and then trill be satisfied!" Is not this intolerable ? It would, it seems to us, be a virtual acknowledge ment by the Government that the Indians were too hard for them, and would be a sufficient encourage ment to the Indians to continue hostile. Such a step will never da—these Indians must be driven from the country, the treaty mu t be complied with t-r the country will be wholly disgraced. Gen. Jesup says that should they again intrude upon the whites after the treaty will have been made with th un in rel ition to the country they shall hereafter possess, that thy forfeit all claim to that c mntry, an Ibe compelled to remove, if it v. ill be su ill an easy matter to remove thorn then, why not do it note, and save the country from dis grace and the Floridians from dangers and distress. We hardly know what to think of this move of Gea. Jesup, and, notwithstanding the poor opin ion we have of Mr. Van il urea’s administration, we never can believe that lie \\i.l accede to Jesup’s proposition. FLORID \ Th* National Intelligence of tl c loth iust. con tains a letter of recent date from Gen. Jesup, in which that officer communicates to the Govern ment his views in regard to the continuance and probable result of the war in Florida. The Gen eral enters into a detail of his opinions on the question of Indian emigration, and states his con viction of the propriety of the measure, wherever the Indians are pressed upon by tiie whites, and their lands become necessary for the purpose of agriculture. He however draws alia.’ of distinc tion between such a state of things, and matters as they now exist in Florida,wh -re he says, the land is not wanted, and where a removel will only effect a translation from one willderness to another. The General does not hesitate to advise that the Semiuoles shall be suffered to occupy the .South ern portion of the Peninsula of Florida, and that tiny be restrained from doing mischief by threats of inflicting punishment in future, which cannot, as he admits, now be applied. His propueitin we give in his own words:- “IH were permitted, and it is witli great diffi dence I venture to make th' suggestion, I would allow them (the Semiuoles) to remain, and would assign them the country west of the Kassimmee, Okee, Chobee, and Pliuai Okee, and east of 1 ease Creek, south to the extreme of Florida.— I hat would satisfy them; and they might hold it " n express condition that they should forfeit their rieht to it, it they should either commit de predations upon the white inhabitants, or pass tiie boundaries assigned to them without the writ-, ten permission of the military commander, or agent. “l>y placing an agency and authorizing tra ding houses on Charlott’s harbour, they could be soon concentrated, and stationing a competent military force there'a nd at Tampa Bay, they might fie readily controlled, and if necessary, Removed from the country, should they become troublesome, or fail to fulfil their engagements. respectfully recommend the measure to your ‘ onsidcration and that of the President, as the J means of terminating, immediately, a most 1 isastrous war, aud leaving the toops disposable tor other service. I desire a decision as soon as '°ur convenience will permit, as by the middle of - P ri b at farthest, the troops must be withdrawn !° m the posts in the interior, to preserve their lives.” 1 iie Indians, it would seem, are at present •malting the result of an answer from Washing ,,n ’ tttider an assurance from the Commander ln' hies in Florida that his interest should be rem* 1 * 1 * S ' n * avor f3 raut * n e them permission to ~ Intelligencer also contains a letter from . Ladsden, in which he gives a melancholy ! lr Hire of the state of affairs in Middle Florida tl * o Ka J rs things will soon be as bad as in " kastern portion of the territory, if an organiz *l and more effective system be not adopted. In addition to the foregoing, there is a communica tion from St. Augustine to a member of Congress, in which the proposal ol Gen. Jesup is treated iii strong terms ol reprehension. The writer men tions with great propriety, as we think, the prob able effect of the Indian version of the concession, should it be made after a three years war, upon the \\ esteru tribes ol savages, when, their sup plies of buffalo shall have been destroyed, will be restless for want of food. The facts of the Flor ida war neither requires nor w ill they admit of comment; they speak in a language stronger than that ot words, and will, we fear, redound only to the disgrace of the /toiretfttl notion under w hose auspices the hostilities were commenced. In connection with this subject it may be men tioned that Lieut. Gen. Hernandez ami Major whiteburst, immediately from East Florida, have arrived in Washington. Their visit is belcived to have reference to the measure proposed bv Gen. Jesup. Since the above was in type, the following let ter from the Secratary of War to Gen. Jesup has come to hand, by which it will be seen that Gen. Jesup’s request has been refused. Copy of a 1-tier from the Secretary of War to Maj. Gen. Jesup, dated Department, or War March 1, 1838. Sir:—l have the honor to acknowledge the re ceipt of your communication of the 14th of Feb ruary, which was delivare l to me by vour aid-de camp, Lieutenant Dinner I. The subject of it is one of deep interest, and I have given to it the most diligent and respectful consideration. In the present stage of our relations w ith the Indians residing w ithin the States and the Terri tories east of the Mississippi, including the Sem inoles, it is useless to recur to the principles and motives which induced the Government to deter mine their removal to the West. The acts of the Executive, and the law of Congress, evince a de termination to carry out the measure, and it is to lie regarded as the settled policy of the country, in pursuance of this policy, tlm treaty of Payne’s Landing was made with tin Semiuoles, and the character of the officer employed on the part of the Government, is a guaranty of the perfect tier manner in which that negotiation was conducted and concluded. Whether the Government ought not to have waited until the Semiuoles were pres sed upon »«> tiie wfiite population, and their lands become necessary to the agricultural wants of community, is not a question for now to consider. The treaty lias been ratified, and is the law of the land, and the constitutional duty of the Presi dent requires that he should cause it to be exe cuted. I cannot, therefore, authorize any argu ment with the Seminoles by which they will be permitted to remain, or assign them any portion of the Territory of Florida as their future resi dence. The Department indulged fiie hope, that with the extensive means placed at your disposal, the war by a vigorous effort might be brought to a close this campaign. If, however, you are of o pinion that from the nature of country, and tiie character of the enemy; such a result impracti cable, and that it is advisable to make a temporary arrangement with the ,Semiuoles, by which the .safety of the settlements and the posts will be secured thoughout tiie summer, you are at liber ty to do so. In that event, you will establish posts at Tampa, and on the Eastern inhere, and w herever else they are, in your opinion, necessa ry to preserve the peace of the country: and I would suggest the propriety of !c iving Colonel Zadook Taylor, of the First Infantry, in com mand of them. In moving north v.ith your for ces, you may make similar arrangements with the other bands. I deem ii, however, of great im portance tin t every exertion should be made to chastise the marauding Indians, who Lave com mitted depredations upon the inhabitants of the people of Middle Florida. 1 beg you will ad dress yourself to Colonel James Gadsden for in formation on this subject; and you may if you think proper, yield to Iris suggestion of leaving a battalion for the protection of the people in that neighborhood. It is hoped, however, that you will be fible to put it cut of the power of these Indians to do any mischief. They ought to be captured or destroyed. As soon as, iu your opin ion, it can be done with safely, you will redme your force of mounted men from Georgia, Alaba ma, and Tennessee. Very respectfully. Your most obedient servant, J. It. POINSETT. Maj. Gen. Titos. S. Jrsrr, Commanding, Army of ike South, Ft. Jupiter Florida . THE CHEROKEE '.. It will be seen, by the billowing extract of a let terfrom Gen. Natlianieil Smith, superintended of the Cherokee removal, that, by the improper con duct of white mien who reside in that part of the country, hostilities may be apprehended from this tribe before their removal is effected. This should be looked to in time. Enough blood has been shed, lives lost and sufficient distress has been ex perienced by our State to induce the proper au thorities to take this matter iu hand, and punish every mother's son of a white man that is found guilty of any improper conduct with these people calculated to delay their r “moral to the west when the proper time shall arrive. The Secretary of War has addressed our vigilant Governor on this subject, (whose letter we also insert,) and we Jiave no doubt that every legal measure will betaken by him to prevent further intrusion by the whites in that quarter and to hasten the execution of the treaty as soon as possible. Department of War, ) March Gth, 1838. £ Sir —l have 'the honor to invite your Excel lency’s attention to the accompanying extract from a letter from Gen. Smith, Superintendent of the Cherokee emigration, dated the 14th ultimo.— The time fixed in the last treaty for the removal of these Indians, is so rapidly approaching, and its peaceable and prompt accomplishment is so important to them and to our own own country, that I respectfully request, that all the means that can bo legally employed may be applied, to prevent the alleged practises, which cannot fail to delay so desirable a result, and that the govern ment may have the aid of your official co-opera tion. Vcrv resnestfullv vour ob’t. serv’t ’ 'J. R. I’OINSKTT. THE GEORGIA MIRROR. His excellency Georbe R. Gilmer, Governor of Georgia, Milledgevilte Ga. Extract of a letter of Gen. Nathaniel Smith, Superintendent of Cherokee removal, to the Commissioner of Indian affairs, dated Cherokee Agency East, February 14th, 1833. “The course that many of the whites pursue in the Cherokee Country, has also a tendency to prevent emigration and ‘to bring on difficulties with the Indians. They are in the habit of sel ling every thine which they can induce them to buy, and not attempt to collect until the Indian enrolls—then they arrest and harrass them in an outrageous manner.” WHAT NEXT ? M e have just read a letter purporting to have been written “in the woods. Head Quarters, Feb. 8,1838,” addressed to the Editor of the Standard of L nion, from someone in authority in the Flor ida war, belonging to the Georgia Battalion, in which a talk is given as having taken place between the whites and a party of Indians headed by Ti gertail, and where the said Tigertail is represented as having delivered a speech to the whites in rela tion to the course pursued by the Governor in re tusing to grant them supplies out of the people’s pocket, contrary to the Constitution and laws. Os all things which we have ever seen or read, this sounds the most like a fabrication. llow is it possible that the Indians should know the proceed ings which are carried on in Georgia, when they are kept continually penned up in their hammocks and morasses, w ithout any possible means of ob taining information 1 We should suppose that they were not harrassed to any great extent if this be the case. But the fact of the matter is, we do not believe any such talk was ever had—but that it was hatched up, either by the Editor of the Stan dard of Union, or someone in the Florida cam paign, (perhaps Gen. Nelson) for political effect. Ii it lias eininated from the veritable Editor of the Standard, we have not a word to say one way or the other, because we consider it entirely useless; but if from Gen. Nelson, for the purpose of building up bis own lame, with the expectation of securing lor liimselt a seat in Congress, we would say he is entirely mistaken in the intelligence of the peo ple of Georgia if he supposes they are to be gul led by such stuff.

AN OSSIFIED MAN. In the museum at Dublin, there is a skeleton of one < lerk, a native of the city of Cork, whom they call the Ossified man, one of the greatest curiosities of nature. It is the carcass of a man entirely ossified in his lifetime, living in that con dition several years. Those that knew him be fore this surprising alternation, affirm he had been a young man of great strength and agility. He felt the first symptoms of this surprising change sometimes after he had lain all night in the fields, a dabauch, till by degrees every part grew into a bony substance, excepting his skin, eyes and into?-* tiues. liis joints settled in such a manner, that no ligamet had its propor operation ; he could not lie down nor rise up without assistance. He had at last no bend in his body; yet w hen lie was placed upright, like a statue of stone, he -could stand, but could not move in the least. His teeth were joined and formed into one entire bone, there fore a hole was broken through them to convey liquid substance for his nourishment. The tongue lost its use, and liis sight left him sometime before he expired. In Macon, ou the 20th inst. by the Rev. Mr. Bragg, Mr. John M.
