The sufferings and distresses of the in
habitants of East Florida are beyond des-
cription. The Indians have, carried off
Humphreys Negroes, burnt Sparkman's
house, fred on the men, and stole all the cats
tie in that neighborhood. < Mrs. Monroe's
house is also burnt. The road on each side
Of Gary's ferry is alive with people in rude,
butts and tents, protected from neither sun nor
rnin. 1t is heart-rending to see their melan-
choly condition. They look sickly, and are
eick from exposure their homes and provi-
lions burnt and DESTROYED, their negroes CAP

their wives and children butchered. There
are not sufficient troops for ADEQUATE protec.

wife and children to get bread with whilst he
goes into service. These people had no agen-
