More Seminoles. About 700 Seminole Indians, from Florida, arrived at the Fourche bar, about seven miles below town, on the s. b. South Alabama, from New Orleans, last week, and remained there until Monday. the water being too low for the boat to come up. The Indians were then taken on board the Liverpool and Itasca, each with two keel-boats in tow, and proceeded up the river.

The officers in charge of the party are Lieuts. Reynolds and Tearr, U. S. A and a small detachment of U. S. troops.

These Indians are a part of the band of the noted Chief Micanopy, who accompanies them, as does Cloud and Nocesaole, two other noted chiefs. Near one-third of the party are negroes, who appear to have been reared among them.
