He left with a cheerful heart, having received from officers and soldiers every mark of friendship and distinction. If he was in- sincere in his professions, these measures tended at least to dis- arm him of hostility, and quiet the war spirit so long prevalent in the band. The active operations of Lieutenant-Colonel Ha...rney, 2d dragoons, and Major Childs, 3d artillery, from Fort Pierce, south and west, extending from the coast to Lake Okeechobee, thence through the Everglades, had laid open the country, disclosing large iields once cultivated by the Indians ; but the approach of 'troops had driven them still deeper into their fastnesses.
