Laaese FROM F3svida.-Ous express
brought ~ last evening, Charleston
papers Of the 18th, from which We
take the following, being the latest in.
telligence from the scene Of Indian
hostilities.
The schooner Tuscarora, Capt.
|Sydieman, arrived here last evening
and brings no later intelligence than
il furnished by the following which
we have copied from the St. Angus
tine Herald of the 18th inst.
Indian Uerastdtioxs-The whole
Of the country south Of St. Augustine,
has been laid waste during the past
week, and not . building Of any val
ne left standing. There Is not SIM
gle house now remaining between
this city and Cape Florida, . distance
Of ESQ miles, all, all have been burnt
to the ground. On Sunday morning
last, . dense smoke was seen in the
south, in the direction Of Bulowvllle,
and it was conjectured that the build
ings on that plantation were in flames
and it was known that there are none
but Indians in that direction. The
smoke was seen in the same direction
on Tuesday. On Thursday it was
that Gen. Hernandez's
houses At St. Joseph's were ON FIRE,
and in the afternoon, this report was
confirmed by two Of General Herman
dez's negroes, who stated that they
had rode from Mala Compra to ST.
Josephs that morning, and came with
in q quarter Of a mile of the house y
and had . full view Of the burningl
buildings. They state the houses tol
have been fired about 7 O'Clock that
and that every house ex-
cept the corn house was burning at
the time they were there. The Indi-
ans had posted sentinels at some dis
tence from the houses. while the
main body were dancing around the
Gre. The negroes can give US no
correct idea as to the number oe the
Indians, but say that there was a
arge crowd Of them. The planta-
lions of Col. James Williams was al +
70 set ON fire and destroyed at the
same time. Mr.. Dupont's plantation
Of Buen Retro, is also destroyed.
Their now remains no doubt of the
Of Bulowville. 1t is the
opinion Of many that after the battle
at Dunlaton the indians, procured q
arge reinforcement, & return'd to at
tack BuiowviIle. The amount of
destroyed is immense, at
alone, the buildings are
said to have cost $4,000 dollars. the
destroyed last week on those
cannot be less than 200.
300 dollars.
Extract OF a letter received in this
city, dated
"Sr. AUGUSTINE, Feb, -.
1.-THE latest reports are that the
Indians are within IS miles Of this |
place, burning and destroying every
thing that they can lay their hands on,
and that they have within a day or
two devastated the whole of Gen.
Hernandezs property it is, however,
said, that no implicit reliance can be
placed on any Of these rumors.
l can give you no certain informa-
ton respecting our intended move
ments, but think it more than prob
able we shall not take up the line of
march until we are properly drilled
and more troops arrive. There are
here 500 men in all and more daily
from other quarters than
Cha rleston."
The cabbagc.-It is stated by Al
Fren n journal that the cabbage is al
perfect remedy for intoxication from
vine; and that If eaten before drink
ing, it will prevent intoxication.-I
The same virtues are attributed to,
the cabbage by ancient writers.
Sugar.-The duties put by France
upon foreign sugar, instead Of having
the effect to make her colonies -four
ishing, have turned a great part Of
France into a sugar plantation!
Eighty million pounds Of sugar were
obtained in France in the year 1885
