The troops were then without meat; but had engaged nearly one month's supply upon the Chatahoochie part of which left Fort (1 nnes under a strong guard on the 16th. The supply of Hour at Fort Sco't is sufficient allowing full rations of that article for the troops there Until the mi -die of next month; and the arrival of sixty thousand rations frdm New-Orieans is daily expected. ; and even should this supply fail, I have not a doubt 1 I having a competent supply down the F i.ll Chatahoochie, in time to prevent the troops from suffering, I have been thus particular in communicating to your exceilency the state of our supp.ies, as wed as the movements of tke enc nv, from an impression, u n a know ledge of the e subjects would be accept: b e to vou, and beneficial to the state over winch yoU preside as well as from a wish to draw i om yoUi a free communication of your views and vvi.-w.es upon whatevrr relates to the public service, connected with my command 1 have seen in the news-papers, with equal surprsie and indignation, theJhattmnpts that have been made to lull the pubic mind into belief, that the hostile Indiana desire peace, and are willing to lay down their inns! Sir, there will be no peace ui ;il those Indians are severe') chastise ,. The hie is were, required to surrender the offenders ! It was deliberately resolved in a large Council of the Seminoles and Red4 Sticks at Mickasukee, t lat the offenders should neither be punished nor surren en d.
