FROM THE ARMY AND NAVY CHRONICLE.


Judging from the tone of the newspapers i'll that
Territory, we should be induced to suppose that a
great degree of excitement existed with respect to
the late pacification of the Indians but other ac-
counts, both oral and written, give contrary i'm
preston, and represent that the excitement is con-
fined to those who are interested in continuing the
war, or for some cause desire the total expulsion
of the Indians.


Among the latest and most positive testimony
that we have seen, Of the peaceable intentions Of
the Indians, and Of the satisfaction Of the inhabt-
ants at the conclusion Of hostilities, is that
tanned in letter written to Major General MAcoMB
by Colonels WARREN and MILLS, who command
ed each regiment of Florida militia, have ira
versed the whole Territory, and are familiar with
the views and feelings of the citizens. This let.
ter is SO much to the point that we requested and
have obtained copy for publication.


JACKSONVILLE, (FLoRlpA) JUNE l5 1889.
GENERAL: You will no doubt have been some Surpris.
ed at seeing by the papers of ST. Augustine and Talla
hassee that great excitement stated by them to prevail
in the conuy in consequence of the treaty or provis
ona agreement entered into by you with the Indians
You may be assured that this feeling exists nowhere in
the country The and sinew of the countries of
.Aachua Columbia DuvalI, and Nassau, who have suf
fered so much by this most readily agreed long that
the expulsion of the Indians by armed force
matter to be terminated twenty years hence; and
having suffered such great losses of property, as well
afe particularly for the last year. with great salts
faction the present arrangement, atfordng the only
probable assurance of peace and quiet:


Those persons who so loud in their denuncations
are for the most part who have been through
the country at ALL and therefore unacquainted with
the nare of the country Of the enemy to be contended
with. 1t will readily be admitted that it would be much
bettec TO have the Indians removed but if that object can
not be effected without such immense sacrifice, say
peace is actually indispensable.


ifthey will keep to the limits assigned hems there will
BE no ditoay between the citizens and them; and if at
any future time, the Government desire to them,
ut mnoh readily be effected after all angry feel
lngs shall have subsded and when the country bordering
the limits assigned them will be setedup.


WSh sentiments Of high respect, are, General your
most obedieGt servants,


JOHN WARREN,
