Lieut. Col. Riley, 2d Infantry, with a detachment of sixty men, left Pilatka on the 21st ultimo in the steamer Charleston, and were taken up the St. John's 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.
