CASUALTIES OF THE FLORIDA WAR.—Since the commencement of hostilities, in 1835, not less than fifteen of the former, viz. one lieutenant-colonel, one major, four captains, nine subalterns, and one assistant surgeon, have fallen where they fought—in the hottest of the fight, by the rifles of the ferocious Indian. To the above number must be added fifteen other officers, who have fallen victims to the unhealthiness of the climate, where it has been their fate to be employed. Eleven officers also, have received wounds, many of whom yet bear the missiles that inflicted them about their persons. A like proportion of the regular rank and file have likewise been killed and wounded; but the precise number cannot now be ascertained. It may not be uninteresting to learn that the militia force, at different times, which has been mustered into the service of the United States, for duty in Florida, is about 20,000 men, of which number the killed, reported thus far, are four officers and twelve men.
