FROM THE FLORIDA ARMY—BY EXPRESS—Expresses which have arrived during the past week we have been favored with the following extract of a letter from an officer in the army, dated Jan. 14—We have captured from 50 to 60 negroes more, and among them are 3 of Col. Humphreys.

In marching thro' the Wahoo Swamp, we discovered 10 Indian villages within a distance of 10 miles, containing 200 houses, which we have burnt. Powell's said to be in the Swamp, and we are making arrangements to surround him, to prevent his escape, which it is apprehended he will attempt and make his way to join Micanope, Jumper and Abraham, who are said to be at Topekeliga or Ahapopka. General Jesup is operating at present to the north in the direction of Camp King.

Gen. Jesup has now a fine army chiefly of regulars. The 5th regiment of Infantry are at Tampa Bay; the 4th regiment of Infantry are on the Withlacoochee. 300 Dragoons and 2 companies of Artillery have arrived at Black Creek, and others are daily expected. The facilities for procuring supplies have been greatly increased.

It is reported that all of Powell's adherents have left, and that several small tribes are anxious to surrender. The loss of so many of their negroes must tend to dispirit them.—St. Aug. Herald.
