COMMENCEMENT OF THE SECOND SEMINOLE WAR.

The number of Exiles in Florida—Spanish Maroons1—Seminole Slaves—Osceola—His Parentage—His Character—His Wife—Her Parentage and sad Fate—Imprisonment of Osceola—His Release—He swears Vengeance2 against Mr. Thompson—Decree of General Council—Fate of Charley E. Mathler—Osceola and followers3 seek the life of Thompson—Lay in wait near Fort King—Fate of Mr. Thompson and Lieut. Smith—Of the Sutler and his Clerks—General Clinch4 orders Major Dade to Fort King—The Major seeks a faithful Guide—Engages the Services of Louis, a Slave—His Learning and Character—He meditates5 the Massacre6 of Dade and his men—Councils with the Exiles—Arranges the plan of Massacre, and informs them of the time—Exiles and Indians rendezvous7 in Wahoo Swamp—Dade’s Approach—The preparation—The Massacre—Osceola and Louis—The Exiles and Indians again meet in the Swamp for the night—Digression—Incidents.

The number of Exiles at the commencement of the Second Seminole War, has been variously estimated. Probably their whole number, including women and children, was not less than twelve hundred. To these may be added the slaves belonging to the Seminoles, estimated at two hundred, making a population of fourteen hundred blacks. Most of the slaves lived with the Exiles, separate and apart from their masters, paying a certain quantity of vegetables annually8, for the partial freedom which they enjoyed. There were many half-breeds, however, some of whom resided with the Indians, and others were located with the Exiles.

The Spanish population called the Exiles “Maroons,” after a class of free negroes who inhabit the mountains of Cuba, Jamaica, and other West Indian islands. Indeed, some of the Maroons of Cuba appear to have found their way to Florida,[78] and many of the Exiles passed from that Territory to the West India Islands. Many officers of Government appear to have known or cared little for these people, while others manifested much intelligence and humanity in regard to them. We have already noticed the efforts of Mr. Thompson, the Indian Agent, of Colonel Clinch, and of Colonel Eaton, in behalf of the Exiles, who had long resided in Florida.
