at Salt Key, and on the 20th two of them, stout Priva-
eers, went in open, day into the Hawk's Nest, and
thence into the' Southern Creek, wheie they burnt

by those who know ctur unfortunate condition._ We

security, and allow us to sleep quietly in our beds
but from this deficiency, every one does what is
right or wrong in his own eyes, and nothing results
to the general good."
