Connected with the foregoing remarks,
a retrospect of recent evonta in Florida will
not ho inappropriate.
During the last session of Coltgrew an
appropriation o* $3,000 waa made "for tho
purpose of holding n treaty with the Semi,
nolo Indians." In yfrtuo of thie sppropris.
(ion, Gent ral Macomb was sent to Florida;
and, boing the General-ia.chiof of the Army.
it wna thought the/ his raok would have
more weight and ivduenc? with tho Indians
than a civilian co-W huve. General Ma comb
held with some of tho
chief*, and ftally entered into an ugrcc.
niout (tho/*-' was no written treaty) with
Cliitto T?*tcnu?g?\ tlte acknowledged sue.
coasor >>f Ar-pi.ucki, or Sam Jones ; ('ho
lattca it is understood, has never held or
exw'CHad any military command,but stands
j? the light of a counsellor among his tiibe.)
One oftne stipulations of this agreement
was the establishment of a trading post
near the mouth of Synabel river. The
mission of Col. Habnrv to carry intu effect
tlii* s ipulatiou, the surprise of his parly, the
mSswcro of a per ion, and the escape ol'tfco
ifst. are familiar to all. Stun Jones and
Ait tribe were at the time in the vicinity
of Fort Lauderdale, distant ubout 100
miles, and have not only deified nil participation
in, or knowledge of. tho massacre,
but up to tlto latest advices continue to
manifest n neural disposition ntul an Inten.
tion to nbidn by tho agreement made with
Gwml Macomb.
The approaching campaign, then, will
p-irtuke more of a d--tensive than off* naive
character, as it will be confined to driving
ih? Indians from tho settled portions of
Florida, where they have committed depredations
nlmost without check. It having a
oern found im|>nMihle to force the Indians Jj
from thoir fastnesses, any further attempt
to effect that object would only be attended
witts u needless sncrfiro of life and money.

and that hist righu ** on Ninerican %er?
violated. * j
On the 6th irsf. the case was tried. It
appears that ndicc of the arrest und deten.
lion ha I been given 'o the Govornor of
Mississippi, amino answer had been received.
It was urft-tl for the prisoner, that no
charge had beeAmudc against him in Mississippi,
nor hadilm Governor demanded
that he should bt delivered up. That the
Constitution of thi United States only allows
the arrest of i person already charged
with a crime in oie state, and fleeing.into
another. That h?wus deprived of his right
of trial, which he demanded. That there
wan no law authorising hit detention. That
he should ' o discharged.
The Attorney General stated, that the
practice in such cases always had b-cn, for ?

Btmo where the crime ix charged to hove

case to the Court.
His honor Judge Watts, in remanding
the prisoner in'o custody, observed, that the
slntes owe certain duties to each other, besides
iliose nreserihi-d hv iK.,f,n?.n?
thi?l tiic arrest of persons in cns?*s like the
present, he considered otio of those duties.
He considered thnt sufficient time had not
elnp<?d to hear fioo? the Governor of Mis.
sissippi, nnd after such time should ?lapse,
the Court would, on appbeation, order the
prisoner to be discharged from custody,
