THE FLORIDA CAMPAIGN.

The failure of Gen. Call's late expedition against the Indians having been attributed to his disappointment in not finding a supply of provisions on the Withlacoochee, it has been naturally supposed by many that this disappointment was imputable to some remissness in the Subsistence Department of the Government in not placing sufficient supplies of provisions within reach of the General commanding in Florida; and this opinion has been freely expressed through our own columns, as well as those of other journals. It is due, however, to the vigilant administration of that Department to state that we have authentic evidence of its innocence of any delinquency in the case referred to, or of its being chargeable with any of the blame which attaches to Gen. Call's failure. On the contrary, there were placed in depot, on the east side of Florida, on the St. John's, and at other points, as early as the month of September, not less than six hundred thousand rations; and on the west side of the Peninsula, at Tampa Bay, on the Suwannee, and other points, three hundred thousand rations.-- This large stock of provisions, at various depots on both sides of the Peninsula, was placed at the disposal of Gen. Call; he was officially advised by the Department of their deposit, and it was left to him to order supplies to be transported to any of the points at which his operations might require them, before he moved his army. If he failed to do so, and suffered the frustration of his expedition in consequence, the blame cannot justly attach to the Subsistence Department.

We learn that an express started from the city yesterday morning to Florida, to relieve Gov. Call from the command of the army, and assign it to Gen. Jesup.
