RETURN or MORE VOLUNTEERS The steam pacne Juhn Stoncy,'Capi CurI rr, arrived at this port Lst evening from St. I Augustine, with a number of Volunteers a list cf which will be (bund under our marine bead. The John Stoncy brought a copy of the St. Augusuoc Herald, of the l*Jth msU from which we bare made some extracts, and from which it will be perceircd that the Savages [ had renewed their d- prcdatioos in every part of the country, by dividing themselves into mail bands. The tracks of Indiana had bccnaccn within fire mile:; of St. Augustine and tbat inhabitants of that place were apprehensive of an attack from them. We regret to hare to slate tbat a duel was fought in St. Augustine last Sunday morning, j between Lieutenant Simons and Lieut. I'll- * lans, an officer in Capt. Fripp's command, j and both of this ciijr, in which Lieut. Simons reccirod his antagonist's ball, and cspircd within two days after.

' Now we do not really believe that they will attempt to come into the city, yet they i'o possess a most extraordinary assurance. This cannot be denied, ami it is therefore proper to weigh well the position we occupy.

The man who was killed they buried, aud on returning to the ground next day, they found him dag up and scalped. They were well supplied with ammunition, and had considorabic pluntfcr with them.

GEN. SCOTT, AND THE VOLUNTEERS. We find in the Gloic of the 12ih instant, a long loiter from Gen. Scott, under dale of ' Picof-ar*, 3-Xli April," giving some account, of the moreti%A?*Va nf ft*#* iMAns r^nm timm rav and of* lh#?.f I march from thence to Volusia, together uilb hit J views of what it will be urcri&anr to bare done to putjan end to the war. We make the following short extract from this letter, as being in oar opinion very explicit, or rcry ambiguous, we Icarc onr read mi tu judge which. "Tocod this war, 1 am now persuaded that not less Uun 3000 regular troops ass indispensable; j 2^1)/bot, and about 000 horse: the country to bs i scoured and ocean ed, requires that number. 1 have no particular d?*?irr to conduct ihc operations | of the new forces That is a dutjr which 1 shall j neither solicit nor derhec. j * Of tiic 3000 good truopi (sot roluatrersj Cr?I hundred will lie orcesnrt logsrrisuc fitc posts f-.i the deposit of supplies, icc."

If tlic campaign baa not succeeded, and it baa Dot, airly the Volunteers were not to btonr.? General Scott, in this letter apeak* of * extraordinary delay*." If there was any " extraordinary ! delay*," we should be more inclined to ibe opinion | that tbey oeeorred rather on hi* part, than on the part of the Volunteers. Nerer, wc bcliere, never was there the sauie number c! troops gatliered together on so short notice, on such au occasion, with aucb alacrity; and dependant entirely for their anpport tor aowrtiinc after their organization, on their own resources, and the contributions ol the public. The charge of " extraordinary delays" eomee with a bod grace from General Scott. The Fhyrltcrilla Okcrrcr, in noticing our correction of an error into which it had (alien, with rcrpcct to the election of member of Congre? from litis District, two years ago, *rr u We would Ice! Cndrr obligations to the Columbia papers, the Times or the Telescope, if they would giro us the laclt of the ca?e, in regard to the time when liorcrnor Haync rcceircd the official notice of the vacancy, when he ordered the election, when he gave the member elect his ereOcnt.aU, and the cause of the delay, if any, in transmitting thrin to him." We sincerely hope the Columbia papers alluded , to will comply with this request, and 4* gi?*e us the (acts of the exso;' that is the very thing we wanted at the time, and which we should be pleased now to gel at. The Lditor desires to know 44 the cao?c fl tlio U? Jay, ij avj, in transmuting the credentials ol the member elect. We think the Kditnr might have loll out the wocda we lure italicised, because it implies a doubt whether there vat dday or not; it implies 4 doubt ol a fast which us one wo bt'lirre at all acquainted with the circumstances rr tr dttulud. But whether Ihia delay was justifiable or not is another thing; in oilier word*, whether " the cause of the delay ' *vasof *u li a character as lu clear (iov.
