Interesting from Florida.

The brig General Sampler, Captain
BENNETT, and schooner Laura, Capt.
SPENCER, arrived at this port las, eve.
ming, in short passages from Jackson
vile,
The gratifying intelligence has been
received by these arrivals OF the de-
feat Of the Seminole Indians, in two
engagements between the Tennessee
volunteers and Florida militia, under
the command of Governor CALL, and
portion Of these savages. The regu-
lars and friendly Indians in the service
Of the United States had previously
separated from the force under the
command Of Governor CALL, and had
proceeded up on one side OF the Wyths
lacoochee, towards the Wapan Swamp,
while the volunteers, under Governor
CALL, took the other side of the stream,
and, encountered about one half OF the
whole force Of the Indians, a battle
Immediately ensued. After about one
hours conflict, the savsges Eetrealed,
with loss Of about twenty killed and
wounded, the latter Of which they cdr
ried off. The following day our forces
took up the pursuit, and came up with
the enemy, when second conflict took
plaee,with equally disastrous results TO
the Indians. They again retreated, but
their loss could not be asoertninsd,
owing to the darkness of the night.
Our less in the two engagements was
FIVE killed and ten wounded.
A negro was taken prisoner, who sta
ted that the Indians were divided into
two parties, one of which was anxious
for peace, but were kept in check by
the war party, both parties are short of
ammunition, and are expected shortly
10 surrender, unless they procure
fresh supply. High eneoniums are
given to the gallaptry Of Gen. ARM
STRONG, of the Tennessee volunteers,
as well as TO Col. REED of the Florida
volunteers. The other division of our
forces had not been heard from al the
last accounts.

The Jail in Pendleton, South Caro-.

Of most infamous scamp, who under
the guise Of fashionable surgeon dem
tisl, and professor Of religion, has been
perambulating the country, seduclng all
the innocent girls he could persuade,
and where nothing else would do-ef-
feeling his purpose by marriage. The
peculiar a,trocily Of his case is that it
was from the best circles, that he selee-
ted their loveliest ornaments for his
victims. The story Of bis villany as
given In the Pendleton Messenger, is

Of his Sunday School pupil, the youth
ful, artess, and interesting daughter OF
widow lady Of great respectability 10

latter part of July last. Circumstances
which il is not necessary to relate, led 10
an investigation in the Church of his
conduct, which eventuatsd in his prompt
expulsion. 1t was then discovered shat
as "Dr. Brainerd, ''he had another very
highly respectable wife in Boonsboro,

in decoying the dasghter,an interesting

to pay a fine OF $1,000 and to be inn
