ST. AUGUSTINE, August 2.

Intelligence was brought to town, by ex-
press on Friday last, that Lieut.. Herbert
with detachment of about II regulars, landed
that morning from the Steamboat Essayon,
at the mouth of Black Creek, and observing a
fresh trail, followed it. until he came to Rigley's
steam mill, which he perceived to be occupied
by party of Indians. He Immediately gave
battle, and fought them for an hour, and drove
them off into hammock, where he was conf
PEELED to leave them, from the weakness OF his
numbers, from his ignorance of the country,
and on account of the wounded. He had five
men wounded-onc mortally. The Indians,
suppoced to be thirty or forty in number, must
have had several killed and wounded; but, from
their uniform practice of carrying oft their dead,
it is impossible to state how many.
From the 81. Louis Commercial Bulletin, July lS.
A gentleman from Lafayette county informs
us that, in the neighborhood of Grand River,
the Indians have taken the lives of several per-
sons. Two men were found dead in harvest
field, and, at a short distance of, the bodies Of
three women were found and several children
have been carried off.

4 YARN FOR THE WHOLE CLOTH.

A gentleman who had purchased a
piece of cloth, was mctby a nelgirbor shop
keeper, who said to him, Well Thrifty,
you've been buying you coat, eh!
Yes What did you pay a yard for
that?' About seven dollars 'Ah, you'd
better have bought OF me: can give you
a good deal better bargain" Can you!
(said the purchlser.l let me look at your
cloth They entered the store. The
merchant exhibited superb piece, and
said, There sir, is cloth worth having
don't you wish YOU had come here tirstl'
:Wh,-yes-i do, but will you sell that
for seven doIlarS!' 'Yes'-I declare if |
had known it | would have come here. -
We'll YOU will know hereafter where YOU
can get a bargain But look here said
Thrifty, after examining more closely, If
YOU will sell that for scrcn dollars / will
take the whole of it, 'Hem-ah-here
Il don't know as I care about selling the
whole of it, But l insist upon it. sir,
your clerk is evidence that you offered it
for tha, price The trader could not es-
cape but measured the cloth, and Thrifty
paid the money. Before he departed,
however, the 'merchant thus addressed
him: 'Mr. Thrifty, you have taught me
a good lesson. The cloth cost me twenty
dollars more than you have paid me for it;
and l shall in future know better than to
undervalue my neighbors goods, and shall
have full confidence in the old maxim,
that honesty is the best policy

INDIAN WAR.

The Columbus Enquirer Of Aug. says
The route was complete. Such was the
hurry of their flight that they left behind them
d large amount of goods, upwards Of twenty
horses, and three Ct their children, Two of
these children they had evidently killed, to
prevent them from making noise and betray-
inc their hiding place, the other was alive end
taken care Of Jernigan had three or four men
killed and several wounded. Their names we
have not heard.
It is ascertainhd through the squaws cap
tured in Lownds county, that the Indians
lost about sixty warriors in their former en-
gacement with the volunteers under Col. Beal
in the Chickisawhatchie swamp. 1t is not
probable that more than twenty of the entire
band Will find their way to the Seminoles.
They have lost their horses and plunder, and
are closely pursued.-FIordian.
From the Columbus Enquirer OF Aug. 4.
THE CREEK WAR.
1t is a remarkable fact, in the history of the
recent difficulties with the savages, that the
whites generally believe the war at end, about
the time it fairly commences. Whether this
arises from want of knowledge, among the
commanding officers, of the real character OF
the Indians, we do not pretend to say. One
thing is however certain, that Gen. Gaines
made mistake of this kind, in relation to the
Seminole difficulty, and recent events have de-
nonstfated that similar error has been CON-
mitted in reference to the present strife with
the Creeks. Alargc portion ofthe actual fight
ing, during the campaign, has been done since
those having the direction of the war had pro-
claimed to the world, that it was over and end
ed.
A correspondent of the American Presbyte-
rian in noticing the Indian war relates the fol-
lowing incidents.
A woman with two children found they were
coming and fed; she became exhausted and
left one behind-stil unable to escape, she left
the other and continuedher flight till she reach
ed Columbus. The mail stage arrived next
morning and a crowd assembled around it; the
driver held up child that he had found; the
poor mother recognized her child, rushed with
wild distraction and embrcedit.
A number of travellers were moving with
their wagons-the Indians fired on them and
killed three, the balance took to flight. A
Young man looked back and saw the Indians
drag his sister into the woods to scalp her; he
turned back and said he would save his sister
or lose his life in the attempt. They have
not been heard Ono doubt both fell victims.

CHARLESTON, Aro. 5.
Merro and TsTds.-Late accounts render
it probable that the Mexicans will not attempt
another compain against the TEXANS, until
the fall. The u. S. Sloop of War Warren and
Schr. Grompus had arrived at Tamp,co, and
the Mexican Government, through the new
Commandant, had apologized for the insult Of
tcrcd the America an flag and the officers OF the
Jefferson GOMEZ, the Commandant who gave
the insult, had been removed. The movements
in Mexico AGAINST Centralism. and to restore
the Constitution of1S24, are increasing III I'M
portance. and there is a disposition to remove
all the hich functonaries friendly to SANrA
A~y.. A forced loan of two millions had been
declared in the city of Mexico against which
the English and French Ministers had protest
ed. calling on foreigners not to contribute. La

arrived here from Opelousas on Thursday
evening last says that a report had reached
there just before he left, that the Mexlcans had
again been routed, 'tllorse, foot and dragons"
by the Texans, who killed 800 of them.
The New Orleans Observer says that from
letter dated Valesia, July 10Th, it appears that
the Texian army refuse to receive Gen. Lamar
as commander, and that Gen. Rusk retains the
command in the absence of Houston. The
same letter also states that detachment has
been ordered to Columbia where Santa Ana is
now confined for the purpose Of escortiDg him
to the army to be executed.
