“RESCUE LETTER.” 1
fir.ml Qrs. Arno/ of Florida, ? t
B-l. Picolata and Gary's Ferry, M'trch 9,lß33. ) 1
To B:ig. (on!. Janes, Adjutant General.
Sir, — I liavc just set out for I urt Oranc,
via Carey’s Ferry, on Black Creek, with two
companies of Regulars, ani intending to lake
with me from the latter place, the small bait al
lien of mounted Georgians, (!ien> Tore mention- | j
c.i) under the command of Major Douglas. Lt. j 1
Cel. Bankhead is at the head of the first detach- | 1
silent, and the two together may make a total of j •
'2 i), but even this small force may be important i 1
to rescue Ma. (Herd. Gaines. *l.
I ha 1 no: received the slightest information of j ’
the operations on the Oaithlacoochee, (official, T
or otherwise,) of a later date than the 2i)ih ult., I I
m to this morning, ami had concluded that lie i •!
had affected iiis march with more or less success | 1
against the enemy upon Tampa Bay, when at '
hay light, the steamer that I a n now in, arrived,
and brought the rumor which is confirmed by the
tiro accompanying notes from Paymaster hylic,
received about six hours afterwards. *'2. On
the receipt of the rumor, I immediately com.
jucuccd preparations for this movement, but be
ing delayed by the necessity of unloading and re
loading the boat, I am now at anchor at the mouth
of Bla'ck Creek. I hope to put the troops in
inarch from Garcy’s Ferry, early in the day to
morrow, and to reach Fort Drane with a small
escort the day following. It is possible that
these little detachments of horse and foot may
reach the Oaithlacoochee in time to render a
valuable service.
1 am aware that the movement that I am ma- j
king may be considered, if regarded in any oth- |
or light than a rescue, as premature. Colonel '
Goodwin’s mounted regiment only arrived at
St. Augustine last night or this morning, and i
consequently, the left wing cannot he in force on
the Ochlawaha in the direction of Pilaklakaha j
earlier than the 17th, or up with the enemy be- ;
fore the 30th inst. Col. Lindsay who may have j
already arrived at 2'ampa Bay, cannot operate
more than two days inarch from that place, for
the want of the means of transportation ; — Maj.
Genl. Gaines having taken away the horses which
were there * 3, and the basis of the right wing is
merged in the force brought by that Gcnl. into
the field, and must participate in his sueccss or
failure. If it falls back with him, upon Fort
Drane, it, must suffer great loss, and if it follow
him to Tampa Bay it will be wholly out of po
sition. In this, and even a greater state of un
certainty, I have been held since the 26th ult.,
the day after I ordered back Major Cooper’s Bat.
talion of Georgia foot, to prevent starvation at
Fort Drane ; and though daily from that time in
the expectation of receiving from Savannah,
horses and serviceable wagons, not one has arri.
red. The quantity of subsistence that will be
at Fort Drane (say) to-morrow, will only be that
sent from Picolata on the Gth inst. viz : 17,497
rations of hard bread and flour; 10,000 rations
of pork (with beef cattle in the neighborhood ;)
78,000 rations of beans, some coffee, vinegar,
See. &e., and the troops now about to proceed
perhaps as far as the Oaithlacoochee will not
have the means of taking with them rations for
more than six days.
I beg leave to recapitulate the causes of my
great deficiency in the means of transportation.
Ist. The wagons and horses which I knew Brig.
Gen. Clinch to possess early in February, have
been more broken down by hard service and bad
roads, than I had expected to find them. 2d, I
had upon what was considered in Georgia and
even at Picolata, the best information, confident,
iy relied upon the use of the Ochlawaha as late
as the 2nd inst. 3d, No bacon has arrived; and
the difference between it and pork including
wood and brine is fifty per centum against the
latter*4. 4th. The wagons purchased at Charles
ton and Augusta by Assistant Quarter Master
L’Englc, and Peyton, arc generally poor, and
many of them unserviceable: sth. The 6or 10
wagons actually reported to have been shipped
at Baltimore in, I think, the Arctic, with Major
Gates, were all left behind. 6th. Os the 19,000
rations known to be at Fort Drane about the 25th,
ult., nearly the whole have been drawn by a force
not expected by the government, or myself to
appear in that quarters*; and 7lh, Not a horse
for the Baggage train left by me at Savannah,
or which I hate since ordered to be purchased by
Ast. Quartermaster Dimmock, has arrived in
Florida 6*; on the 21 st ult., when I was but
twenty hours from Srvannah, I sent back by a
s'tamer that was met, an order to Lt. Dimmock
to ship about 40 horses for the Baggage train,
to Picolata. This order teas strongly reiterated
by a return steamer fire days afterwards, and
again on the 2d inst., by another boat, he was in
structed to send immediately, and by the. speedi.
est conveyance, 79 horses for the train, and six
four horse wagons. I had this morning a report
from him, saying ofter be had received my first
and second orders, that he had sent all the horses
wanted for drafts and packs, by landl*, except
a few which were to come as packs with Capt.
Wharton. Now as the latter was about 24 days
in New York after receiving orders from Flori
da, and expected to remain ten in Savannah, he
cannot be looked for in this neighborhood before
the 18?A or 20 th inst: the other parts of the lot
were it seems given as packs to the tenth com
pany ofSouth Carolina mounted men, and sent
forward in a drove. They must, it is feared
arrive in a state unfit for the Baggage train,
(say,) about the 16th inst. Such has been the
failure of human agents, the weather has been
equally adverse. If the force on the Ouithla
cooohee should fall back on Fort Drane, it will
be seen from the foregoing that a part, at least,
must probably march upon Volusia or Garey’s
Ferry, to be within reach of subsistence, in
structions have been left behind me to send for
ward rations should the moans of transportation
arrive in time, and the troops already in the
neighborhood of Picolata. Maj. Cooper’s, and
the remaining company of Maj. Gate’s battal
ion, I have also desired Brig. Gen. Eustis in the I
same event, to order to Fort Drane, two compa- j
nies of mounted men of Col. Goodwin’s regi- j
merit, and a fourth order will go back in this j
boat to Ids. Dimmock on the subject of horses and !
wagons B*. Some rifles, and ‘the tents arrived
tliis morning at Picolata; but Col. Goodwin had
marched through six or eight storms without
cover, and now a!l companies in march are to
be reduced to three tents each,
1 nave tuc liomir to remain with respect. I
Your obi servant,

P. S. Please remark that in Ins letter to Brig.
Genl. Clinch, dated at New Orleans the 2d ult.
Maj. Genl. Gaines, speaks of an “efficient co-ope.
ration," promises lobe “in readiness” at Tampa
Bay by the Bth of the present month to form a
junction at, or near that place, with the force un
der your command, whenever, and as soon, as
in your judgment your force shall be sufficient
to justify tiie movement; and concludes by say
ing, “a sufficient quantity of ammunition and
provisions have been transported to Fort Brooke
to divide with you, until further supplies are re
ceived.” Yet lie did not wait till the Brigadier
give notice that he was in force,” came to Fort
King, and swept nearly the whole of the subsis
tence collected at Fort Drane. A copy ot tnat
letter is in your office; and I now enclose one
from Genl. Eaton, from which it will appear
that Maj. Genl. Gaines knew at Tampa Bay
about the 14th ult. that I had been charged with
the direction of this war. He first heard this at
Pensacola and received governor Eaton’s des
patch at Tampa, ns I can establish. Hence his
haste and neglect ot' the assurances given to
Brig. Genl. Clinch, his isolated attack, <Sec.
*l. See Gcnl. Gaines’ letters of the 23th and
20lh February, 1835, to Genl. Clinch. That of
the 28th was received by Genl. Scott on the mor
ning of the Ist of March, and the following is a
copy thereof.
Head Qrs. Camp Izard, on the right bank }
oftho Withlacoochee, 2 miles W.ofGen. /
Clinch’s Battle ground, 28th Feb. 1835. )
General—l take much pleasure in stating to
you that I have every reason to believe I have
now near me the principal force of the Seminole
Indians with their black vassals and allies. Yes
terJay afternoon after halting my reserve and
rear guard with my baggage train, in the Upper
pine woods near the encampment north of the
battle ground, I proceeded with the remaining
part of my force to the Withlacoochcc, with a
view to reconnoitre and inspect in person the
jaccnt section of this river preparatory to cross
ing, which I had designed to attempt this mor
ning. I had been at the river only long enough
to examine it for 250 to 309 yards about and
above the usual crossing place, when the ene
my commenced a spirited firing on my party
and kept it up with the warwhoop for an hour.
The fire was of course, returned.
Having this morning determined in conse
quence of the thick woods on the opposite side
of the river, to extend my examination to this
point at which I learned there were open pine
barren woods on both sides of the river, I accor
dingly marched with my whole force to this
place, where I was promptly met by the enemy,
whose force appears to have increased very
considerably in an hour or two. The river at
this place is deemed to be about as wide, much
deeper, but less rapid than at the first mentioned
place, with open woods on both sides. My rc
connoisances in consequence of the narrowness
of the stream and the impossibility of finding
materials for promptly bridging or rafting it,
have resulted in the loss of two of the Louisiana
volunteers killed, and ten regulars and volun
teers wounded among the latter, I deeply lament
to findthe gallant Lt. Izard of the dragoons,
dangerously.
Being convinced that the principal force of 1
the enemy is now assembled before rne, and not |
doubting that their women and children are pla- J
ced in a large Cypress swamp a few miles dis
tant from this place, and that an immediate
movement of a force equal, or nearly equal to
that now with me, consisting in part of mounted
men, would enable us to put an end to the war
in the next ten days, by a combined and simul
taneous movement; should the forces expected
at Fort Drane have arrived —otherwise the force
there on the 22d inst -would I think be sufficient.
But this is doubtful and the case is one of too
much importance to leave the question offeree
at all in doubt.
In the expedition of this co-operation I shall
endeavor to amuse the enemy in completing my
boats and preparing to cross, but I shall not
cross till I hear from you. In any event I re
quest of you 6,000 rations of Flour and Pork, and
Sugar with Quartermasters’ stores which follow;
and if transportation can be had, 2 field pieces,
with 150 rounds of cannister, and 50 of round
shot. Also 10,000 musket catridges. lam
Gen’l, &e. E. P. GAINES,
Maj. Gcn’l Com’g.
P. S. The force from Fort Drane should cross
the Withlacoochee at the ford 8 or ten miles
above the Battle ground, or at that point, and
move down the left bank of the river to this
To Brig. Gcn’l Clinch, &c. &.c.
*2. These two letters ofMaj. Lytic are dated
the sth and Bth of March. The first merely an
nounced that he had been directed by Gcnl.
Chinch to inform Gen. Scott that his communi
cation of yesterday’s date (the 4th of March,)
reached him at that post after he had mounted
his horse and was on the move with the forces un
der hi* command to escort m Sapplies to Maj. Gen.
Gaines.
The other is dated, —
Fort Drane, Bth March, 1836.
Sir.— By direction of Gcnl. Clinch I opened
your communication of the 6th inst. which arri
ved late last night in advance of the wagons.—
You will perceive by my letter of'the sth that
Genl. Clinch with all the forces at this post and
100 mounted men from the vicinity had left for
the Withlacoochee to escort a small supply of
cattle, ammunition, &.C., to Genl. Gaines, hav
ing received the night before a third express from
that officer. No word has been received from
cither of these Generals since the sth.
When Gen Clinch left here he expected to he
back on the 9th. The probability is, that the
wagons will return without an escort, there be
ing at pres nt no troops here, and should Gen. C.
get back before the wagons depart,his men may he
too much fatigued to marchagain immediately;
but this is of course, mere conjecture. I am satisfi
ed, however, that Genl. Clinch would advise that
an escort accompany the wagons back to this
place reloaded.
Capt. Graham being directed by Gcnl. Clinch
to sent back the wagons for supplies after their
arrival here, will send them to Gary’s as being
the best road. Very respectfully,
J. S. LYTLE.
P. S. “The amount of Genl. Gaines’ last ex
press to Genl. Clinch, dated the 3d inst. teas
merely copies of his previous letters, with a note,
stating that the Indians were still around him,
but little or no fighting had taken place since his
last communication.
Now, I would- ask, where is the rumor or a
confirmation of any rumor in this letter? Does
Maj. Lytle speak of the necessity of aid from
General Scott or from any other quarter?
No! on the contrary he tells Gcnl. Scott,
that Genl. Clinch will be back at Fort Drane
on the very day that Scott, received the letter.
*3. Upon this point I submit the testimony of
Captain Morris, of 4th “ Infantry,” which is con
clusive ; he states, that when General Gaines left
Tampa Bay for Fort King, he took but four or
five indifferent horses which belonged to the post
at Tampa ; the rest of the transportation, which
I consisted of fifty-or sixty horses, were brought
iby Gen. Gaines from New Orleans. Lieut. Ca-
I sey purchased for Gon. Gaines, at St. Marks, se
| ven or eight well equipped four and five horse
| teams, amounting to 42 or 48 horses and mules,
j but which did not arrive in time. They were
\ left at Tampa until the arrival of Col. Lindsay,
\ when these wagons and horses formed the prin
; cipal part of the baggage train of the centre co
-1 lumn of Gen. Scott’s army. So that in lieu of
! four or five indifferent horses which Gen. Gaines j
| took from Tampa Bay, he furnished General
Scott with about seventy horses, and eight or
nine wagons. Gen. Smith also says, “ General
Gaines took with him from New Orleans consi
derablc transportation, fifty or sixty horses.”
So much for tlie false assertion that Maj. Gen.
Gaines took General Scott’s transportation from
Tampa Bay.
*4. No officer acquainted with the subject
would think of taking Barrels (“ wood”) and
“ Brine,” in a prompt wilderness campaign- ;.but
would prefer Pork and Flour, packed in sacks,
to Bacon and Hard Bread." The Pork and Flour
will keep longer, and the difference, in bulk and
weight, is greatly in favor of the latter. When
Gen. Scott calculated the difference between
Pork and Bacon, he entirely forgot the difference
between Flour and Hard Bread. Perhaps he
will plead, “ the force of habit."
*5. General Gaines drew from Forts King
and Drane, less than 12,000 complete rations—
which he had an undoubted right to do, because
they were intended for the troops of hie own de
partment, and were ordered there some weeks
b G?n. Scott was ordered lo the command
in Horida. These provisions were sent on the
6th and Bth of January, and General Scott’s or
ders were dated the 21st. But General Scott de
tained those supplies at Picolata, while a portion
ot the army were suffering on the W ithlacoo
chce for the want of them. General Scott had
no right to control a man, or a ration, within
Gen. Gaines’department, until he (Scotl) had
extended his operations into that department,
and in his own proper person relieved Gen.
Gaines at the theatre of the tear.
*6. Again, Gen. Scott remarks ; “ The ti or
10 wagons shipped at Baltimore, &c. has not ar
rived” and “ not a horse for the baggage train,
$-c. has arriveds-c. < s-c. I would ask Gene
ral Scott, whether these sad delays and disap
pointments were occasioned hy General Gaines’ j
“ premature and unauthorized movements ?”
And I world also ask,'Why that officer (Gen.
Scott.) when he “ was ordered to take charge ot
the war in 1 iorida,” and to extend iiis operations
into Gen. Gaines’department, did not himself,
see (as Gen. Gaines d'd, before leaving New |
Orleans,) to the collection and movement ot his \
all-important means of transportation ?—Could j
he find in Ins lengthy instructions, no power him
self to superintend the purchase and movement |
ot these very essential supplies ? or, did he ima- j
ginc that a Commanding General had nothing i
to do but to write orders, aud such lengthy and j
monstrous letters as the one under consideration?
If so, he has much to learn, —aud stil! more to
unlearn.
*7. This was unquestionably the best mode
of Bonding them : the roads being for the most
part, very good, and the distance not more than
led horses, or light wagons could travel in G or 8
days. Had General Scott taken the trouble to j
see to purchasing the horses, mules and wagons, i
that he could have procured at Savannah, and ;
mounted lus horse, and accompanied his bag- |
gage train by land, he might have saved him
self the deep mortification of his useless stay at
Picolata, and the worse than useless display of
a “rescue” movement of 15 miles a day ! as vain
ly set forth in the miserable letter under consid
eration.
*B. Upon this point it is only necessary to re
mark, that if writing “ orders ” upon “orders,”
gnd long, long letters would prove any thing
towards subduing a savage foe, and protecting a
helpless and bleeding frontier, Major General
Scott’s claims to this sort of distinction, would
truly be pre-emiliPnt. See for example how
much he can say in a single letter, “ written
with his own hand,” whilst lining to a “rescue”!!!
Examine this letter; compare it A>''.th the modest
communications of the gallant—the honcst
hearted Major Lytle, and mark the deep toned
hypocrisy, and green-eyed malignity, in which
this, “Rescue Tetter” is couched. Then ac
company the heartless, soulless writer in his
feeble and childish movement to Tampa Bay,
—thence into his “summer quarters” at St.
Augustine :—thence to Columbus, Geo. and
lastly, to Frederick, Md. where he labors
through many days and pages of vapouring gas
conade to prove that to be true, which lie knew
while writing it, was false and malicious; and
you will then have the means of placing a proper
estimate upon the “Rescue letter ,” and be pre
pared to do justice to the writer, and to tiic mo
tives w*ioh brought into existence the kindred
letter of the 14th March which Gen. Gaines-has
very properly stigmatised the “ Sortie letter.”
. In l noticing the Post-script to this “Rescue
letter,” I have only to observe, (in which I am
sustained by the best authorities,) that the offi
cer who proposes to another, a co-operation, can
not, with propriety delay a moment's time after
arriving in the country occupied by the enemy
and at the point proposed for the commence
ment of the co-operation, until he meets with,
or hears from the forces of the officer to whom
the proposition to co-operate, was made. It was
therefore proper for Gen. Gaines to press for
ward to tiic northward, from Tampa Bay, un
til he met with, or heard from General Clinch.

February from Liverpool, adverted to in our last
report, indicating a better feeling in that market,
had scarcely produced any effect on this, when
dates to the 25th February were received, and sub
sequently to the 3d ultimo,giving the gloomiest pos
sible view of the state of the monetary affairs and
cotton markets of Great Britain. During two days
buyers retired entirely from the market, and al
though there has since been some inquiry for Up
land, the prices offered are considerably lower than
those of last week. Our quotations are adapted
nearly as possible, to the few sales made yesterday
—the market, however,remains unsettled and money
scarce. The sales of the week amount to 2031

CHARLESTON, April3.-The past has been a ve
j ry inactive week in commercial transactions in our
city; and business is almost entirely at a stand. The
panic that has pervaded other parts of the country
for some time past, has at length extended its influ
ence among ourselves—and has produced a state of
tilings without a parallel among our business men.
There is every’ reason to believe, however, that the j
liberal course taken by’ our money’ed institutions |
will have the effect of restoring conl.dence in a I
very short time.
Cotton. —The sales of Upland Cotton since our
last weekly report, have been small. A few pur
chases have been made to complete orders for (he
exigencies of the moment, at a slight reduction on
the'reported low sales of the previous week. We
hare understood, that several holders have shipped
on their own account, believingthat the market has
reacned its lowest point. In Bea Islands, there has
been no inquiry—and w e report the sales of but 8

Spirits, and Palpitation of the Heart;
it is also a-sovereign remedy for all
kinds of worms, <fec.

JohnS. Miller.
Dear Sir: 1 had been troubled with a constant
sickness and pain in my stomah, which also occa
sioned a tremor and weakness and pain across my
back, for which I used a great deal of Medicine
without anv relief. I was prevailed on by a friend 1
to try your Balsam of Health, which 1 procured
from our Agent in Hagers Town, and, to my great |
astonishment, before 1 had used the contents of one
bottle, was able to eat my daily meals with as much
appetite and satisfaction as ever, and can now attend
to ray daily work as much as ever I could before.
JOSEPH C. COXSON.
Washington County, February 10, 1835.
Abouttwo years ago T was severely afflicted with
Dyspepsia, which 1 had for the last fifteen years!
previous to the above named lime, which was very
much increased by my having a blood vessel ruptu
red upon my lungs, occasioned by lifting—which
increased ray complaint, Dyspepsia and general de
bility and weakness, to such a degree, that two or 1
three years previous to ray using the Gaflegant ;
Balsam, 1 never ate a meal but ray stomach became
so painful that I had immediately to throw it up.
Seeing Gariegant’s Balsam of Health adverti®-i, 1
was induced to try a bottle; after taking iery
first dose it appeared to strengthen my stomach;
and every dose of the first bottle helped me so
much that in the course of a few days my stomach
began to retain and digest every' thing I ate. 1 con
tinued to use the Balsam until 1 used seven bottles,
which cured me entirely, and restored me to perfect
health, which I have enjoyed ever since, and not
before for fifteen years. 1 cheerfully recommend it
to all persons who are afflicted with D"»pepsia or
debility of stomach. Given under y, Hand this |
11th day of January', 1331.

Dear Sir—l have used the Balsam of health which
I procured from you, with great benefit, if not
with entire relief. When I procured it, 1 was sorely
afflicted with Dyspepsia, attended by all its distres
sing symtoms, head ache, giddiness, heart burn and
the thousand nervous affections which accompany
it, in its worst stages. At limes, such was the de
bility occasioned, that I was bed ridden. I think I
can say that the first relief, if not the entire cure,
was produced by the use of the Balsam.

From A ngustn, Georgia, to Mobile, Alabama.

ILA P. 31. via Louisville, Sandersville, Hawkins

chee, (formerly Mount Vernon,) 37arianna and
Cedar Bluff, in Coaches—thence to Pensacola, per
Steamboats : (per Choctahachie River and Bay, St.
Rosa Sound and Pensacola Bay, to Mobile.
A Passenger taking his seat at Augusta, is in no
danger of being thrown out orlosinghis preference
by' other conflicting interests (as the Florida Line
is but one concern and under one control through
out,) and may rely' WITH CERTAINTY'upon his
arrival at 3lo*bile earlier than bv anv other route, I
through-all weather and at any season, unless some
most unforeseen catastrophe should occur. Unin
cumbered with a heavy mail the accomrnodationof
1 the passengers is the first consideration. The
Agents for accommodation, Teams, Coaches and
| Drivers, arc not surpassed in the southern country.
The low pressure, coppered and copper fastened
| Steamer Watchman, is too well kn »wn to need de- r
i scription ; the steamers on Santa Rosa Sound and
: Bay and Chattahoochee River, are adapted to the
service, and the Agents for the Stage Line forac-
commoilation, tennis, coaches and drivers are not to
, be surpassed in the Southern Country'.
The steamer Watchman being by' this arrange
ment attached to the Florida Line, the proprietors
flatter themselves, that they are offering to the pub
; lie by far the most expeditious and comfortable route
between the South and the North.
The safe and interesting water navigation—the
smooth, hard, natural roads—the time and the ac
commodation, afford the traveller speed, certainty',
comfort and a pleasing variety, which the proprie
tos hope will entitle the enterprise to a large share
ofthe public patronage.
At Chattahoochee, FI. we have a branch Line
