Southern Mails.

From the Post Office Department we learn,
that all attempts to keep up the mail connex-
ion between Columbus, Ga, and Montgome-
ry, Ala., have been abandoned for the pres
ent
II may be satisfactory to the public to be
informed, that there is good reason to believe
that all the mails sent on that route south,
have gone safely through. The peril to
which they were exposed, however, induced
Mr.. George Pitt agent of the Department,
who was at Columbus, to return all mails for
that direction back to Augusta after the 5th
instant, whence they have been forwarded by
the lower Florida route, which is now the on
ly line of communication between the south
and New Orleans.
interrupted, has induced the Department to
direct the entire northern mail for New Or
leans, and that section Of the Union generally,
to be sent from Baltimore and Washington,
over the Cumberland road, to Wheeling, and
thence down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
by the steamboat mail lines now in operation
No apprehension need be entertained in fu-
lure for the safety Of communication by mail
between the eastern cities and New Orleans.
We regret to learn that several southern
mails coming north have undoubtedly fallen
into the hands of the Indians.
Mr. Pitt has directed the postmaster at
Mobile to forward the mails by the lower
route until farther orders, and the Department
has directed the postmaster at New Orleans,
in case that route shall be interrupted, to
send the eastern mails up the Mississippi and
Ohio rivers.
The mails which have fallen into the hands
of the Indians are believed to be the New
Orleans mails of the 10th and Ilth, and pos
sibly the mail of the 9TH instant, which is also
missing, together with the Mobile mails of
the succeeding days.

er been paid to lieutenant Turner, who
participated SO largely in the brilliant
achievement, and who, thoug b junior III
a. e, was senior in rank and service to
all but two of the officers. The commit
tee have been unwilling to lmpute this
singular omission to the fact that he was
the only commissioned officer Of any dis
tinction in that action, who was born III
the State of New York. Without
searching into the cause of this neglect,
they have satisfied themselves that no
officer in the American navy has exhib-
tied greater skill, bravery and courage,
at so early period Of life, ifindeed at
any; nor more Of that noble concomiiant
of true courage, an unaffected diilidence
and modesty Of character.
Soon after the victory of Lake Erie,
he was removed to station remote rom
his native State, and was for long time,
by mistake, entered on the navy reg lister
as a native Of Rhode Island.
Without coveting distinction, except
in the faithful discharge Of his duty 10
his country, and without ehvying any OF
the honors and rewards which his com
rades so literally received, and he so
richly merited, he has quietly tnd grad
ually risen to the highest grade in our
navy, respected and honored for his
talents as an officer, and beloved for
his many virtues as man.
In view of these facts, and in consd-
Grafton of the extremely early period Of
life at which lieutenant Turner engaged
in the public service and rendered such
valuable and heroic aid in achieving the
victory on Lake Erie, the COMMITTEES
have instructed their chairman to pre-
pare the following resolution, which h6
bcgs leave respectfully to present.
Resolved, (ifihe Senate concur,) That
the Governor of this State be requested
to procure suitable sword, with ap-
propriate devices and emblems thereon,
and TO present the same to captain Dan
iel Turner of the United States navy, a
native of this State, as Il token Of the
high estimation which his native State
entertains of his talents as an officer,
and of his personal bravery, evinced Oh
several occasions, and especially in his
command of the Caledonia during tho
battle of the 10th of September, 1878,
when he was but II years Of age.
[The above Resolution was adopted
unanimously in both houses, May 20,

FIRE-FIRE-F

The fire last Wednesday night at IL
O'Clock occurred in Seth Thaxter's carpen-
ter's shop, in Nassau street, which was de-
stroyed. The three story wooden house
westerly, recently occupied by the family of
the late Mr.. s. II. Goss, and two three story
brick houses Immediately opposite, occupied
by Mr.. Bird, paper stainer, and by Mr. Cow
din, Of the firm of Guild a. Cowdin, were all
on fire before all the furniture was removed.
The former was nearly destroyed: and the
two latter were much injured. The furnit-
ure Of Col. Baker, who occupied the second
house next to the carpenters shop, was re-
moved with some damage.
The Transcript states that there we're an
unusual number of incendiary attempts on
Wednesday night, Of bold and daring char
acter, which place it beyond all doubt, that
there is an organized band Of scoundrels, res
olutely determined to produce a terrible ca
tastrophe by fire, and too much vigilance can
not be exercised individually, as well as col
lectvcly, to frustrate their intentions. Let
each good citizen look well to his own prem
ises. The ere we have just recorded was
undoubtedly the work of an incendiary, aud
beside il there were several other attempts to
set on fire. Engine House No. IL was en-
tered and lamp placed in the midst Of par
eel of combustibles in the desk. An attack
was made on tho Roxbury lndis Rubber

The following is an extract from letter
received by gentleman in this city, by this
mornings mail, from his correspondence in
Tallahassee. twas written on the 10th inst.

"All is confusion here. We are drafting

found their way here in canoe, sent to en-
plore succor: they have been fighting five
weeks against the whole power of the nation.
Captain Holloman and one of his men have
been killed, and five wounded, leaving hut
thrty-two men in the block house, The In
dians have lost many men in their repeated
attacks on the post. Men have been shot
and scalped within twenty miles ofthis place"

Charleston, and from the seat Of war. Gen.
Scott and suite arrived at Charleston on the
24th, on their way to the Creek country,
where he will assume the direction of the
military operations in progress. There is
nothing new Of material Importance from
Florida, though the papers are filled with the
most alarming accounts of the outrages of
the Indians, who are plundering and destroy.

Extract Of a letter from the Postmaster at
Columbus, Geor. to the Postmaster General,

udtcu MAY lC.
"Last evening two friendly Indians were
despatched to inform body of Indians rep
resented to be friendly, and encamped near
the spot where the mail was attacked on Mon
day the 10Th inst, that they would come in
they would be protected. BY them | sent a
note to white man, who is with the friendly
party, informing him that if he would bring in
all the mails, with the assistance Of the friend
! ly Indians, would give him two hundred
dollars. The two Indians have not yet re.
turned. AS the mails left, are valuable, I
would offer much larger sum to have them
brought in, but it is unnecessary,as things are
now situated, they can only be brought in by
the aid of friendly Indians, who will be satis-
fed with little. No body of whites can be
obtained at any price to go to the spot, and
endeavor to rescue the mails, so great is the
panic now pervading the country. Yesterday,
farm houses fve miles from Columbus were
burned down, and this morning some negroes
we're attacked not more than half mile from
Girard, town situated directly opposite this,
on the western bank of the Chatahoochie riv-
er. A horse was wounded, and one Of the
negroes shot through the arm. shall con-
tinue my exertlons to rescue the mails, or so
much of them as may not have been destroyed
or carried away.
at seems now, that there we're fifteen per-
sons along with the mail when it was attack

in safety, after having wandered about in the
swamps until last night and this morning.
ThC remaining four arc known to have been
killed, as they were seen to fall by some Of
those who have escaped. One of the killed
was a Mr.. Hallett, Of New York represented
to be merchant of wealth and responsibility.

that Doct. WILLIAMS, the celebrated

many in all ages in that place during the

remedies he applies to the eyes of all his
patients. The editor goes on TO pariicu-
larize some of the cases which came un-
der his observation on visit TO tho

to Interfere, in any way, with slavery in
the District of Columbia"
The question being taken on this res
olution, was decided in the Affirmative
yeas 1872, nays 10.
! So the second resolution was agreed
to.
/ While the above question was being
taken, MIR. Adams asked to be excused
from voting.
Mr.. Granger's name being called, he
rose aud said: 81 decline voting on the
second resolution, on the ground that il
is not in conformity with The instructions
TO the committee"
|. Loud cries of Order, Order.

right 10 ask to be excused:
! Mr.. Granger-I do not ask 20 be ex-
cused; ! decline voting on the ground
| Here he was peremptorily called to

The question being the next on the
third resolution, it was read as follows:
"And whereas it is extremely impor.
tant and desirable that the agitation on
this subject should be finally arrested
for the purpose of restoring tranquility TO
the public mind, your committee respect
fully recommend the adoption OF the FOL
lowing additional resolution, viz:
"Resolved, That all petitions, memo
riaIs, resolutions, and propositions, or
papers relating in any way, or to any
extent whatever, to the subject Of slave
ry, shall, without being either printed or
referred, be laid on the table, and that
no further action whatever shall be had
thereon"
Several questions of order now arose,
and after an Intellectual attempt to pro-
ceed to the order Of the day, the third
resolution was agreed to III to 68.
The remainder Of the sitting was oc-
cupied in the consideration OF the bill to

and others rejected, when the bill was

Gen. Scott has issued general order
at St. Augustine, dated May II, in
which he censures the Floridians for
their cowardice and unnecessary panics;
says the inhabitants are flying in all di-
rections, "without knowing whether they
run from squaws or warriors" and that
they could "see nothing but an Indian
in every BUSH" He is indignant al the
unmanly conduct of those who "hy-to
spread the panic, and throw execrations
upon the General who has the misfortune
to command handful of brave troops in
the midst Of such population" He
insists that an adequate force is left to
protect the territory.
