An officer of (lie army, who arrived here'

assures us that there is not a shadow of
foundation for these erroneous impressions..
On the contrary, at the moment of his (car-;

in (he army wf Florida, who fell more anxiously

Dear Sit.?I hare purposely retrained
"rom'transmitting you any account of (he
Seminole campaign, as the rarioos contradictory
statements in regard to the
movements of the enemy until within a
four days since, did not deserve notice,
and trerc too brainless to be credited.
The simple fact, however, that Su Augustine,
Jacksonville, Pieolaut, Camp King,
Tampa nod Key West, hare been for such
a length of lime kepi in a constant state
of alarm, and each momently dreading an
attack, evidence cf talent never before
displayed by Indians? ecnHad they oftrays
did exhibit?but that a body of fifteen
hundred or two thousand men, should
make such demonstration, and such dispositions
of their forces, is, like the massacre

You arc aware ihnl Gen. Gaines approach- i
od within lour or fire miles of Fort Dranc

cd to the Outhlacooebc, fur the purpose of
discoring, whether any Indians were on
ike prowl. On arriring at that stream
his passage was disputed by a body of
savages, amounting, it is surmised, to I5fteen
hundred?a light commenced across
the river which narrov, is deep and rapid i
and comttyucd ttro 'days, neither party!

AUer dark on the seme day, the entire body
of Indians, now largely re-info reed by
the arrival of scattering squads, crossed
the river, and had the bravery to attack
him in his trenches. The strategqoi was
thus far successful?-the cannon opened
upon them, and played with such effect,
