Conversations of Osceola.— The New Orleans Bulletin states that the wife of the brother of Charley O'Mathla, who was captured by the hostile Indians and held in captivity by them has escaped and made her way to Fort Drane.

She relates being present at many of the conversations between Powell, the Seminole chief, and his warriors, in which he spoke in any way but in praise of the mode of warfare adopted against him, by the white chieftain—the sounds of the trumpets accompanying the march of the white warriors giving timely notice of their approach, and warning the Indian in time for his safety and his flight. "The Indian," he said "marches ten miles before breakfast. and lies down to sleep"—the trumpets in the advance and the fear of the white enemy, heralds his slow approach, and the Indian speeds in time to his covert. The woman states, also, that the plan of Powell's summer campaign is to besiege Fort King, defended by about 200 men, and, by cutting off supplies, to starve them out; and then to take and burn Fort Drane, which is occupied by about the same force as Fort King.
