From Florida.= The U. S. steamer Charleston Capt. Barden, arrived on Saturday from Florida. We glean from a private correspondent the following intelligence :-Halleck Hadjo, the Chief, recently taken by Lieut. Anderson, and who was sent from Palatka on the 17th inst. into the interior upon a mission of peace to confer with the recreant warriors of his own band secreted along the border of the St. Johns, has returned, bringing with him eleven warriors. The garrison at Fort Mellon, E. F., occupied for some months past by the 2d regiment of Dragoons, has been relieved by a company of the 2d Infantry, under the command of Lieut. Patton.

Lieut. Col. Riley, 2d Infantry, with a detachment of sixty men, left Palatka on the 24th inst in the steamer Charleston, and were taken up the St. Johns as far as Spring Garden Lake, from which place they proceed to the everglades on a scout after Sam Jones, who is known to be in that part of the territory. Col. R. has two Indian guides with him, who have promised to conduct him to Sam's hiding places.

From what we can gather, the prospect of closing the war continues to be cheering.
