latest news pro.h Florida. The mails bring ns item after item of intelligence from Florida. communicating the particulars of repeated outrages by the Seminole" upon the white settlements on the bottler. It is high time that the authorities at Wasingmn would take energetic steps towards the removal or extinction of this miserable remnant of the trifle. Certainly a queer thing it is that a handful <-f savage? should be permitted thus to hold a government at bay. Where is the army ? The latest news, by the . steamship Florida, is as follows:? At Manatee, a small settlement situated five miles from the mouth of the river of that name, the house of Dr. Beaden, a sugar planter, was attacked the evening of 81st ult., by a small party of Seminoles. Dr. Beaden was fortunately armed .otiim.il lioli. rinilnm fire with such vitror that they quickly retreated: but passing by the negro quarters, they took seven of his slaves prisoners anil made their escape with them and three mules towards the everglades. Great excitement prevailed in the settlement; scouting parties were sent in pursuit, but it is feared with the usual want of success. The Florida touched at Punta Rosa, Charlotte's Harbor, and there was informed by the officer in command, that on the 30th ult., while a fatigue party from Capt. Pratt's command were engaged procuring water from an island near Cape Roman, distant 1J miles from the camp, they fell into an , ambuscade of Indians, and two of their number were killed and two wounded. The party were in two boats and were approaching the beach when the shots were fired. They at once fired a volley iu the direction of the sntoke, but being too small a force to follow up in pursuit they returned with their killed and wounded U> camp. A strong party immediately visited the spot and discovered marks of blood, but the Indians had aU escaped to the main land. The Indians numbered fourteen, as that number of forked sticks planted in the ground indicated that fourteen rifles had rested upon them, to make sure their deadly aim upon the boats. Corporal 0'Rook, Company E, 2d Artillery, and one private, name not given, were killed. Since the above was put in type, tue louowmg stirring account of a battle has come to hand. It is from the Tampa Peninsular, April 16, anil compiled from the report of Maj. Arnold: Whilst scouting in the Big Cypress, with the available force of his command, composed of Capt. Dawson, 2d Lieuts. Langdon and Gardner, Ass't, Surgeon Moore, and 108 enlisted men. Maj. Arnold was attacked, on the 8th, by Indians, estimated from 80 to 100 men, who were lying in waif, in a thick Cypress swamp, (water two feet deep,) about half a mile from "Billy's town.*' The first indication of their presence was a fire from them on the advanced guard, which was soon followed by a full volley on the column. Company C., commanded by Lieut. Gardner, lending off, which at that time, was not far in rear of the advance guard. After exchanging some three hundred shots on hoth sides, a charge in front was ordered. At last 54 Indians ran towards "Billy's town," and a number took to a dense Cypress in the right. The Cypress was charged, but no Indians were discovered, although they were seen to go into it.? Those who had retreated to the Hammock, towards Billy's town, were then attacked. When within a short distance of the town, a large number of Indians were seen ruuning Bast, towards an abandoned village, surrounded off" all sides by a very dense hammock, excepting in front, where was a very large pond or swamp, covered with tall gras3 and about two feet of water. As this hammock was approached, the Indians fired a volley, which was returned by. the advanced guard, under Lieut. Langdon. The enemy then ran to another hammock, half a mile to the north; the troops followed; the Indians there fired again, which was returned; a charge wastheu made, before which the Indians retreated, aud were pursu ed until all traces ot them were lost. The light and pursuit occupied six hours. The loss was Private John Simms, Co. L, 2d Art'y, mortally wounded (survived about fifteen minutes;) Corp'l Joseph Carson, Private John Muller, John Strobell, Co. C, 2d Art'y anil Thomas Newton. Co. L, 1st Art'y, severely wouuded, and Privates Silas M. Watkins and William Abbott, Co. C, 2d Art'y, slightly wounded. Several received shots in their clothing and haversacks.? What loss or injury the Indians sustained is not known, farther than that blood was discovered on the bushes through which they retreated. The following is taken from the same paper: On Saturday night last, the 12th inst., a squad of Indians, supposed to be six or seven in number, fired the house of Asa J. Goddard, located near the head waters of Manatee and within two miles of Capt. Andison's Fort. The house bad been previously abandoned by Mr. Goddard and family but contained nearly all his effects, which were consumed in the conflagration. From the signs discovered, it would appear that the Indians encircled the house, which was small, and had a regular "corn-husking frolic," over their fiendish deed. After the complete desolatiou of Mr. Goddard's place, the Indians went to the house- of John Craig, within half a mile of the above mentioned Foit, and plundered it of every thing it contained. This house was also untenanted. A detachment from Capt. Addison's Company, under Lieut. II. V. Snell, and also a detachment from Capt. Leslie's Company started on the trail of the marauders Monday morning. We expect to have a good report from them. From the Ocala Companion. April 17, we have also the following: "We have just received information from Levy county, by F. M. Pitman, Esq., direct from the place of attack, that on Tuesday, the 8th inst., Mr. Enoch Dauiels, a citizen of that county, left his home, some nine miles South of Levy C. II., in search of Hogs, and after proceeding about three miles, his dog, which was running ahead, stopped at a clump of palmettos barked a few times ami ran back considerably frightened. At that moment Mr. Daniels saw an Indian rise up from the palmettos to fire upon him, and as the Indian fired he turned his horse towards home.? Just then, nine Indians sprang from their hiding place, and uttering the most horrid yells, fired and rushed upon him. His coat was pierced by bul'ets, and the stock of his gun considerably shattered, but he was unhurt. After he had gone three or four hundred yards, he turned and saw two Indians very near him.? One of them dodged to a small tree, and commenced loading. Believing that all their guns were empty, Mr. Daniels fired upon the Indian, who fell, and the survivor going to the assistance of the one who was shot, the chase was given over. The next morning a scouting party, twenty in number, among whom was our informer, started in pursuit. They found the sjfot as described by Mr. Daniels, a pool oi blood by the tree where the Indian was shot, and saw blood a long distance on their trail. The party followed several miles; but upon going some distance into the Gulf Hammock, whither they had traced the Indians, they were compelled to turn bock. Those acqnanted with Indians and their sign3, concluded that there must be as many as fifty about there. This may be relied on as correct. Contnttrtial fjejartment. Yorkville Markets.
