It may be safely estimated that this amount of Indian population can furnish 15,000 warriors, who may be considered so nearly in contact with our settlements as to render them at all times dangerous neighbours, unless kept in check by a proper disposition of our military force ; and it is probable that double that number could be supplied, if any circumstances should occasion a general war in that region, in which the Indians could be brought to unite. Such a result, however, is altogether improbable, as many of these tribes are hereditary enemies, and are in a constant state of hostilities with one another. And, from the dispersed condition of the Indians, as well as from their habits and the nature of their institutions, a general coalition is not to be anticipated. Nor, indeed, af it existed, could such a force be collected and brought to act together. Still, however, it is obvious that even now there is upon our western frontier a large force, which has been augmented, and is yet augmenting, by the action of the government, and upon whose peaceable or friendly disposition no reliance can be placed. And the scenes which are now going on in Florida, and those which have frequently taken place elsewhere, show that the Indians are totally ignorant of their own relative strength and that of the United States, or that, in a moment of impulse, they are totally indifferent to it. A just regard to the tranquillity of an important section of the Union requires that measures should be permanently adopted for preventing a renewal of those predatory incursions which have occasioned so much loss of life and property.”-From the Letter of the Secretary of War. The above statements of the military and naval force of the United States, and of the Indian tribes, are copied from that excellent and popular work, the American Almanac, to which we refer our readers for a collection of statistical information relating to our own and foreign countries, which is nowhere else to be found in so cheap and convenient a form. The two following tables are quoted from “ Murray's Encyclopædia of Geography," recently published in Philadelphia, in three volumes, royal 8vo, and comprising the most recent and complete information in geography and its collateral sciences of any work which has yet appeared. The following Table gives a View of the absolute and relative Population of the States and Territories in 1830; of the Number of the different Classes of the Population; of the Rate of Increase from 1820 to 1830; and of the Area, and Number of Representatives of each State in the Federal Congress.
