INTERVIEW,
Ml
: The news from the Camp of Gen.
k5
continues to te of great importance)
Id
our last we stated Gen. Clinch with the
Alachua militia had ioined hirn. ' We 'were
then unable to 1 state correctly the ilparf
ticulars. ,The following extract of - a letter
to the Editor, will show t be force. whtcH kc
com panincd the provisions. 1
Tbe force which went to the relief of
Gen. Gaines under the command of Genera
Clincbxonsistsd of four companies of 'mpunr
ted volunteers from Alachua county, com
manded by Captains Williams, Carterjfernf
arid Lieut. Dell, one company 4 from Hamil
ton county, under Capt. .uarttn, the Itich
rnond Blues, about seventy friendly Indians,
and some regulars, in an aoout 7uu men.
Verbal reports state that the Indians are -gen
nog snort 01 lead. m !
With this force General Clinch went to
the relief of Gen. Games The nietlt be
fore his arrival, Oseola sentA negro to I the;
camp 01 uen. uames requt sting an inter
view, and promising to stop killing whiter
men if he would slop' killing Indians. This
proposition was agreed to and OseoU was
told to come next day with a white f flag,
when they would have a talk with hirn.
The next day rn company with another
chief, he came to within about two hundred
yards of the Fort, waived his white fl rg a-
round three times, and sat down upon d log.
1 hree ofucers went from the camp to meet
bem. ? H
Oseola informed them that Gen. Clinch
was on his way to join them with a lairge
number of horseinen. He expressed his ivil
lingness that hostilities cease and give up
his arms. The officers required him, to
sin articles of an agreement by which 'he
bound himself to proceed immediately! Uo
Tampa Hay, and there embark for the Miss
issippi. Some say that Oseola objected to
this mode of removing, and wished toigo
by land Others that be would not prom
ise to go at all, but wished to live on Ihe
other side of the Withlacoochte and to hye
that for the boundary line between the in
and the whites. Their discussion was 'ih'
terrupted by the arrival of Gen. Clinch.
During the course of it, Oseola inquired
how they were off for provisions. They
told him, they had a plenty. He said he
knew they had not, and if they would come
over the river, he would give thetn two
beeves and a bottle of Brandy S -
As Gen. Clinch approached, the friendly
Indians, discovering the hostile Indians n-
hout three hundred yards from the Camp-bf
General Gaines, raised the whoop, whjch
was immediately followed by one from the
hostile I r.drans. The, men unmediatfejly
formed and fired a platoon. The Indians
- 9 3 -
fied and were closely pursued. A runner
then came from Gen. Games ordering thorn
to stop, and informing them that Osejola
was treating with them. At first those; m
pursuit could not be restained, but the dry
of tn?aty,' 'treaty soon checked them.
G'n Clinch then for ned and proceeded to
Camp. 'i'
The following extract of a letter, written
after their arrival, Contains some interesting
pailiculars: .j
Head Quarters, Camp Izard', Florida,!?
On the Outhlacoochfee, March 8, at night.; )
We arrived at this post he evening
of the 6th, and found Gen G lines armv in
a state of starvation, eatfug horse?, dobs,
&c. Less than a gill of corn was issuj d
for a day's rations We brought but a srntl
quantity of provisions with us, and I belicjve
there are but few men in camp who are riot
hungry at this lime. We found plenty freph
fudian signs two miles above this on the
river, and tsome oi us wanted to pursue
them, but the General directed otherwise.
When we came in sight of the camp the spy
guard reported Indians (500) in battle a,r-
ray
1 he war whoop commenced, and all
who heard it expected, and, I believe, were
prepared, ready and willing for it. I tv asjat
the head of Captains Maitin and Carter's
Companies, the left flank, when we discov
ered a considerable body of Indians on bkir
left. V e crossed up a little, Meed to t!he
left and cave them a' fire two only return-
ed it, (and one of the balls struck near m,)
they instantly fied into the hammock; it is
said we killed one and wounded two; to
day the t-pot has been visited, and a con
siderable quantity 'of hides, some rice, &c
were found, so 1 guess they left in a hurry.
They have had Gen. Gaines completely sur
rounded for several days previous toour ar
rival; they had fought him ail the day before,
without much execution on either side. 1 1
Hearing1 the attack, of Gen. Clinch, die
officer in conversation with Oseola advised
him to retire into the hammock, while they

EXPUNGING.
An argument tcithin a nut-shelt. We
subjoin an article from one of the most res
pectable presses in the country ,which
states strongly, but with substantial truth,
the merits of the poposition, which has
come from Richmond, for layins violent
hands upon the Journal of the Senate of the
United States.
Let any man ask himself, what would
be the effect of success in the attempt to
violate the journal as proposed ? Must he
not say, its only effect would be to give
to the Presiuentof the United States a tri
umph over the Senatorial branch of the
Government?
-In a word, is the concerted action among
leagued partizans in the Legislatures of
Virginia and other States, to effect this ob
ject, any thing other than at war upon the
Senate ; a scheme to prostrate the dignity,
the honori and the moral, too, of that body,
io pleasure the passion, or the will of Gen
eral Jackson ? Nat. Int.
From the
Albany Daily AdctrlMri
March 14.
Instruction. While we fully adopt the
republican notion that a Representative
should conform to the wishes of. his con
stituents, we do not by that intend to as
sert that immoral, illegal, or unconstitu
tional instructions are binding upon, any
person. Common sense at once teaches
us better, and none but the unscrupulous
partizans of a corrupt leader would contend
otherwise. - '
Precisely in this light stands the ques
tion now being discussed in relation to Mr.
Leigh, of Virginia ; and we have seen but "
one or two presses on the side of . the
opposition, which have done otherwise
than approve his manly course. . .
Suppose the Legislature of Virginia had
instructed him to go to the Clerk s desk,
seize the minutes, and burn thetn up!
Would any person other than a 7iave or
Hbol contend that this was a -binding in
struction ? We will not imagine that any
one cool J be infamous enough to advocate
his obedience to such a request.
But we ask our readers, in what does a
resolution to burn differ from a resolution
to expunge ? In nothing. Both are sub
vershe of the Constitution, which requires:
the Senate to keep a journal, and if that
i 4 at i 1 t
journal can be lawfully oestroyeu Dy one
process,, it can be by any other.
The attempt is disgraceful to the ageyf
and shows how low party sycophancy can
carry men professing to be free i The con
stitutional records of the land are to be mu
tilated, to fatter and sooth the rantty
of a tyranical and despotic . old Presi
dent. Let ns no more point to Roman
meanness and Roman degradation. Au
gustus had not around him more venal
flatterers than Gen. Jackson. The para
sites of the Prince, who Hire our President,
started with the declaration that one term
of office was enough for him, did tot with
all their infamous servility, attempt to fat
sify historyt , This effort was reeved for
another time, for another nation, for a re
public enlightened beyond all others for
the countrymen of Washwotos and Jef
ferson ! -SHAME ! SUAMB! SHAME I
