“RESCUE LETTER.”
Head Qrs. Army of Florida, }
13-!. Picolata and Gary's Ferry, March 9, 1830. (
To 13.ig. Gcnl. Jones, A'ljutant General.
Sir, —I have just set out for Fort Dranc,
via Garoy’s Ferry, on Black Creek, with two
companies of Regular?, and intending to take
with me from the latter place, the small baltal
!ion of mounted Georgians, (her..* iforc mention
ed) under the command of Major Douglas. Lt.
Col. Bankhead is at the head of the first detaoh
jnent, and the two together may make a total of
2 i), but even this small force may he important
to rescue Mr . Gent. Gaines. *J.
I ha 1 not received the slightest information of
the operations on the Ouithlacoochee, (official,
of otherwise,) of a later date than the 29ih ult.,
up to this morning, and had concluded that lie
had affected his march with more or less success
»gainst the enemy upon Tampa Bay, when at
Bay light, the steamer that Ia n now in, arrived,
and brought the rumor which is confirmed by the
tiro accompanying notes from Paymaster Lytle,
received about six hours afterwards. *2. On
the receipt of the rumor, I immediately com
jncnccd preparations for this movement, but be
ing delayed by the necessity of unloading and re
loading the boat, I arn now at anchor at the mouth
of Black Creek. I hope to put the troops in
inarch from Garcy’s Ferry, early in the day to
morrow, and to roach Fort Drane with a small
escort the day following. It is possible that
these little detachments of horse and foot may
reach the Ouithlacoochee in time to render a
valuable service.
1 am aware that the movement that I am ma- I
king may be considered, if regarded in any oth- i
or light than a rescue, as premature. Colonel I
G lodwin’s mounted regiment only arrived at ;
St. Augustine last night or this morning, and
consequently, the left wing cannot he in force on
the Ochlawaka in the direction of Pilaklakaha
curlier than the 17th, or up with the enemy be
fore the 20th hist. Col. Lindsay who may have
already arrived at Tampa Bay, cannot operate
more than two days march from that place, for
tiie want of the means of transportation; — Maj.
Gcnl. 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 Genl. into
the field, and must participate in his success 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 uu
oertaiuty, 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 Dranc ; and though daily from that lime 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
pent 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,
&.o. &p... and the troops now about to proceed
perhaps as far as the Ouithlacoochee 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
ly 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*-!. 4th. The wagons purchased at Charles
ton and Augusta by Assistant Quarter Master
L’Engle, 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. 6lh. Os the 19,000
rations known to be at Fort Drane about the 251 h,
ult., nearly the whole have been drawn by a force
not expected hj r 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 have since ordered to be purchased by
Ast. Quartermaster Dimmock, has arrived in
Florida 6*; on the 215# ult., when I was but
twenty hours from Srvannah, I sent back by a
s'earner that was met , an order to Lt. Dimmock
to ship about 40 horses for the Baggage train,
to Picolata. This order tons strongly reiterated
by a return steamer jive 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 areport
from him, saying after be had received my first
and second orders, that he had sent all the horses
wanted for drafts and packs, by land 7*, except
a few tchich irere 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 of South 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 16lh inst. Such has been the
failure of human agents, the iceathcr has been
equally adverse. If the force on the Ouithla
coochee should fall back on Fort Dranc, 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 loft behind me to send for
ward rations should the means of transportation
arrive in time, and tiie 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
same event, to order to Fort Drane, two compa
nies of mounted men of Col. Goodwin’s regi
ment, and a fourth order icill go back in this
boat to Ls. Dimmock on the subject of horses and
wagons B*. Some rifles, and the tents arrived
this morning at Picolata; but Col. Goodwin had
marched through six or eight storms without
cover, and now a!i companies in march are to
be reduced to three tents each,
I have the honor to. remain with respect.
Your obT, servant,
(Signed): WINFIELD SCOTT.
P. S. Please remark that in his letter to Brig.
Goal. Clinch, dated at New Orleans the 2d ult.
Maj. Genl. Gaines, speaks of an “ efficient co-ope
ration,” promises to be “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
tomstifv the movement; and concludes by say
ing, “a 'sufficient quantity of ammunition and
provisions have been transported to Fort Brooke
to d vide icith you, until further supplies are re
ceived.” Yet ho did not wait till the Brigadier
gave notice that he was in force,” came to Fort
King, and swept nearly the whole of the subsis
tence collected at Fort Dranc. 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, as I can establish. Hence his
haste and neglect of the assurances given to
Brig. Genl. Clinch, his isolated attack, &c.
*l. See Genl. Gaines’ letters of the 23th and
29th 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 1
of the V itlilacoochee, 2 miles W. ofGen. /
Clinch’s Battle ground, 28th Feb, 1835. S
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
terday 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 Withlacoochee, witli a
view to reconnoitre and inspect in person the ad
jacent section of tiiis river preparatory to cross
ing, which I hal designed to attempt this mor
ning. I had been at the river only long enough
to examine it for 250 to 300 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,
I 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
I deeper, but less rapid than at the first mentioned
! place, with open woods on both sides. My rc
i connoisances in consequence of the narrowness
of the streiim 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
the enemy is now assembled before me, and not
doubting that their women and children are pla
ced in a large Cypress swamp a few miles dis
tant from this place, and that an immediate
movement of a force equal, or nearlj r 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 expectation 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 Quart ermasters’ stores which follow;
and if transportation can be had, 2 field pieces,
with 150 rounds of cannister, and 50 of round
shibt. Also 10,000 musket catridges. lam
Gen’l, &c. 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
place.
To Brig. Gcn’l Clinch, &-c. &c.
*2. These two letters of Maj. Lytic are dated
the sth and Bth of March. The first merely an
nounced that he had been directed by Genl.
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 jsapplies to Maj. Gen.
Gaines,
The other is dated, —
Foi t Drane, B th 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
either of these Generals since the sth.
When Gen Clinch left here he expected to he
back on the 9 th. 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 be
too much fatigued to marchagain immediately;
but this is of course, mere conjecture. I am satisfi
ed, however, that Genl. Clinch would advice 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. was
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 Genl. 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 Fcrt King, he took but four or
five indifferent horses which belonged to the post
at Tampa ; the rest of the transportation, which
consisted of fifty-o-r sixty horses, ivere brought
by Gen. Gaines from New Orleans. Lieut. Ca
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,
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
lumn o f Gen. Scott’s army. So that in lieu of
four or five indifferent horses which Gen. Gaines
I took from Tampa Bay, he furnished General
Scott with about seventy horses, and eight or
nine wagons. Gen. Smith also says, “ General
Gaines look with him from New Orleans consi
derable transportation, fifty'or sixty horses.”
So much for the 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--hut
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 fbrgotlhe difference
between Flour and Hard Bread. Perhaps he !
will plead, “ the force of habit.”
*5. General Gaines drew from Forts King 1
and Dranc, less than 12,000 complete rations— '
which lie had an undoubted right to do, because
they were intended for the troops of his own de- .
partmeat, and were ordered there some weeks ;
before Gen. Scott was ordered to the command
in tloriJa. These provisions '.vere sent on the
6th and Bth of January, and General Scott’s or
ders were dated the 21st. But General Scott de
tained these supplies at Picolata, while a portion
of the army were suffering on the Withlacoo
chee for the want of them. General Scott had
no right to control a man, or a ration, within
Gen. Gaines’department, until ho (Scott) had
extended his operations into that department,
and in his own proper person relieved Gon.
Games at the theatre of the tear.
*6. Again, Gen. Scott remarks ; “ The 6 or
10 wagons shipped at Baltimore, &.C. has not ar
rived:' and “not a horse for the baggage train,
sc. has arrived," ts-c. tj-c. I would ask Gene
ral Scott, whether these sad delays and disap
pointments were occasioned by General Gaines’
“ 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 Florida,” and to extend ! :is operations
into Gen. Gaines’department, did not himself,
see (as Gen. Gaines d'd, before leaving New
Oilcan s,) to the collection and movement ot his ;
all-important means of transportation ?—Could
he find in lus lengthy instructions, no power him
self to superintend the purchase and movement
ot these very essential supplies ? or, did he ima
gine that a Commanding General had nothing
to do but to write orders, and such lengthy and
monstrous letters as the one under consideration? j
If so, he has much to learn, —and sti!! more lo |
unlearn.
*7. This was unquestionably the best mode |
of sending 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 lo
see to purchasing the horses, mules and wagons,
that be could have procured at Savannah, and ;
mounted his 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, ami protecting a
helpless and bleeding frontier, Major General
Scott’s claims' to this sort of distinction, would
truly be pre-eminent. See for example how
much he can say in a single letter, “ written
with his own hand" whilst hj'ing to a “rescue”!!!
Examine this letter: compare it v»uth the modest
communications of the gallant—t ho honest
hearted Major Lytle, and mark the deep toned
hypocrisy, and green-eyed malignity, in which
this, “Rescue letter” 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, MJ. where he labors
through many days and pages of vapouring gas
conade to prove that to be true, which he 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 the mo
tives w*ich brought into existence the kindred
letter of the 14th March which Gen. Gainesdias
very properly stigmatised the “Sortie letter."
. In i 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 m-operate, was made. It was
therefore proper for Gen. Gaines to press for
ward to the northward, Tom Tampa Bay, un
til he met with, or hoard from General Clinch.

buyers retired entirely from the market, and al
though there has since been some inquiry for Up

CHARLESTON, April3.-The past Ims been a ve
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 lias produced a state of
things without a parallel among our business men.
There is every reason to believe, however, that the
liberal course taken by our moneyed institutions
will have the effect of restoring conf.dence in a |
very short time.
Cotton. —The sales of Upland Cotton since oiir \
last weekly report, have been small. A few pur- j
chases have been made to complete orders for .he ;
exigencies of the moment, at a slight reduction on j
the reported low sales ofihe previous week. We ,

on their own account, believingthat tlie market has ‘
reached its lowest point. In Sea Islands, there lias 1

lies, Nervous Tremors, Lowness of
Spirits, and Palpitation of the Heart;
it is also a- sovereign remedy for ail
kinds of Worms, &c.
It is not recommended, like most
patent medicines, ss a cure-all, but 1
lie recommends it for what lie has
lull confidence it will and has cured, which he can
substantiate by the testimony of hundreds of per
sons that have experienced its salutary effects.
The proprietor has a groat number of certificates
in bis possession of cures performed by this vabta- i
ble Medicine, which would fill several columns of
a newspaper, but has thought proper to give only a
few' of the most prominent, which the reader will
find below this advertisement.
It is neatly put up in square half pint Bottles, with !
the name of the Medicine blown on the glass and I
the proprietor’s signature on the label pasted on the i
outside wrapper of each bottle, to prevent it from ■
being counterfeited. Each bottle is accompanied j
with extensive directions for its use, which can at j
all times be had atone dollar per bottle,and by the |
quantity at a liberal discount, at his Drug and Medi- |
cine Store, and of his agents in the above named
states.-
Below are a few certificates of cures performed
by the above Bnlsom of Health.
John S. Alillkr.
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 any relief. I was prevailed on by a friend I
to try your Balsam of Health, which 1 procured I
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 my daily work as much as ever I could before.
JOSEPH C. COXSON.
Washington County, February 10, 1835.
About two years ago I was.severely afflicted with
Dyspepsia, which 1 had for the last fifteen years
previous to the above named time, which was very j
much increased by my having a blood vessel ruptu
red upon my lungs, occasioned hy lifting—which
increased ray complaint, Dyspepsia and general dc- |
bility and weakness, to such a degree, that two or 1
three years previous to my using the Garlegant |
Balsam, I never ate a meal but my stomach became
so painful that I had immediately to throw it up.
Seeing Garlegant’s Balsam of Health adverti»~i , 1 i
was induced to try a bottle; after taking eery I
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. I 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-'spepsia or j
debility of stomach. (Liven under Aand this |

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 Augusta, Georgia, to Mobile, Alabama.
TT EAV ES Augusta every other day at 4 o’clock
-B-4 P. 31. via Louisville, Sandersville, Hawkins
ville, Pinderton, Bainbridge, Georgia ; Chattahoo
chee, (formerly Mount Vernon,) 3farianna 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
hy 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 Mobile earlier than bv anv other route,
j through-all weather and at any season, unless some
| most unforeseen catastrophe should occur. Vnin
j cumbered with a heavy mail the accommodationof
i the passengers is the first consideration. The
! Agents for accommodation. Teams, Coaches and
i Drivers, are not surpassed in the southern country.
The low pressure, coppered and copper fastened
j Steamer Watchman, is too well kn »wn to need de
' scription : the steamers on Santa Rosa Sound and
j Bay and Chattahoochee River, are adapted to the
service, and the Agents for the Stage Line for ac
commodation, teams, 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
1 (latter 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 —ihc time and the ac
commodation, afford the traveller speed, certainty,
comfort and a pleasing variety, which the proprie
tos hope will entitle the enterprize to a large snare
ofthe public patronage.
At Chattahoochee, FI. we have a branch Line
