LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
CHARLESTON, July Odd.

Further Indian massacres The schr.
George & Mary, Capt. Wiley, arrived at
this port yesterday morning, in the remark
ably short run Of "a hours, from Jackson
vile, L. F.
We are indebted to Capt. Wiley, for a
detail of some further depredations commit
ted by the Seminole Indians in Florida, up
on the life and property of the defenceless
inhabitants OF that il-fated territory, calcu-
lated to harrow up the feelings, and excite
the indignation of every citizen, and to
make us feel still more powerfully, If posi-
BILE, the absolute necessity of taking the
most prompt and energetic measures, to ex-
tirpate these ruthless savages from every
part of our territory, occupied by civilized
inhabitants. We could almost say that C.
ven mercy to them, is equivalent to the mur-
der of our own citizens.
Capt. Wiley copied from the log book
of the United States Steamboat Essayon,
the following particulars:
"On the morning of the 10th inst, while
on the way down Black Creek, discovered
am Indian in q hammock on the bank, who
did not fire on the boat. AT o'clock, In
st. Johns River, saw boat coming from
Col. Hallow's plantation, having Col. Hal
low and DR.. Simmons, and few negroes
on board. Itappeared that the Indians had
fred upon the former gentleman while in
his room in conversation with DIR. Simmons,
and wounded him in the head, causing him
to faint and fall. DIR. Simmons, with the
assistance of some negroes, picked him up,
carried him to the boat at the landing, and
showed off. The Indians pursued them and
fired upon the boat, but fortunately injured
no one. In fey minutes afterwards, the
dwelling of Col. Hallow was fired, and in a
short tilnc DIR. Simmons house was also
burned.
The Essayon ran over to Geo. & Lewis
Trimmings plantation, took off their fami-
lies and negroes, and then proceeded to Pr
colata, and reported the above occurrences
to the commanding officer at that post, who
despatched 20 men up Six Mile Creek, for
the purpose of intercepting the Indians on
their return. At 5 p. NJ, the Essayon re-
turned to Hallow's plantation and found Mr..
Colts dwelling (Which was near that Of Col.
H. on fire. While off the landing, one OF
Col. Hallow's negroes made his appear
ancc, and gave signal, cyincing wish to
get on board, upon which the small boats
was sent for him. He stated that the lndl-
ans were 30 strong and we're back of the
negro houscs--thcy said they had come
down upon the whites for the purpose of
sping their blood, and that the way he had
been enabled to escape was, that they sent
him to the landing to see if any troops were
coming. fIe said they were whooping and
dancing in front of Col. Hallow's house,
while il was burning. The negro was sent
back TO the landing and succeeded in get

For Teras.-By the arrival from Texas yes.
terday morning, it appears that there is little
Likelihood OF an engagement between tho con-
tending parties. The advance guard of either
army, 1t is believed, are not within one hundred
and fifty miles of ono another, and there was
scarcely any probability of the Texan army ad.
vancing, as they were short of provisions, and
every necessary munition of war. Itrwill be

pressed among the soldiers, against Santa Anna
and that they had made an attempt to shoot him.
but were prevented by the timely interference Of

ma, but did him no injury. The excitement rose
from the fact of the return Of the Mexican army
into Texas. Toprevent any harm reaching him

From the Courier of last evening. we glean
soma further particulars. The Texian force Il
estimated at about three thousand men, but from
tho number ofvoluntocrs fiocking in, particularly
from the western and southern states, il was pre-
sumcd that in a few weeks, it would be aug
mented TO 5000 men. Cos, and other officers,
with about 400 prisoners, at Galveston island.

VERY LATE NEWS FROM TEXAS.
Santa Anna still a Prisoner.

Extract of letter received from New Orleans

New ORLEANS, Tuesday, July 10.
Dear Sir The Shenandoah has just arrived
having left Velasco 4th July. We are informed
by Mr.. Sayer, passenger, that Santa Anna was
still safe at Columbia, under strong guard
The Mexicans, on tho Nueces river, number from
to 1000. General Rusk, or Lamar, Qhe latter
commander in chiefly is at Victoria, or there
abouts, retreating, or endeavoring to coax tho
Mexicans on. The fight is expected to take
place on the Colorado. The Mexicans will be
whipped easily by the Texans, as they arc all
shutting up their stores and turning out for bat
tie. Santa Anna has sent dispatches in the
SHENANDOAH directed to Washington. He is
opposed to the Mexicans coming on he affirms
that Mexico can do nothing with Texas, and is in
favor of Moxicos reinquishing all claims to it.
Texas is very s1fe in our opinion. The Mexican
officers and soldiers are all well at Galveston
island. The Texan schooner Independence
sails to-day. The Urchin sails tonight with
260 volunteers; The Flora ON Saturday, with a.
bout 200 more The steamer left yesterday for

Curious Electioneering-In one OF the pa
pers by last mail, is the following paragraph, to
which is appended twenty one names, strung out
in small capitals, in single fle.' A
"We the Undersigned citizens of Gibson coun-
ty, Indiana, who served under Gen. HARRISON
in 1911, and who were in the battle of Tippeca-
noe, do state that we prefer him for the presiden
cy to any other candidate now before the public.

This parade Two are rather military peopie]
is avowedly made to refute calumny imputed to
the Louisville Advertiser that but one individual
in the county named above, who had served under
the general, would support him for president.
How many such assertions are put forth upon
bare rumor, without shadow of evidence, which
have to go through similar forms of denial, ---and
whether refuted or not, amount to about nothing.
The next paper before us exhibits curiosity
in the scale of electioneoring, in another shape.
1t is the Daily Buffalo Journal, of the I'd inst,
whose first salutation "a hot shot at Mr.. Van Bu-
ren) is, snake way for the King !" How ma
ny votes do they gain by that The paper surely
looks large, handsome and tasteful enough, to DO

be among intelligent readers much less of that
fear, which very often shows itself like the dread
of cherishing viper, prompting men to withhold
their patronage from every press which opposes
their political views.
The path we have marked out for ouselves, we

tisan press but shall we shrink from doing right,
because of its singularity? Shall we assume

The American Citizen.-Nearly all the newly
established journals which we have recently seen,
are very neat and pretty in appearance, that
our words of admiration about used up. We
forgot to mention last week, that we had received
the 5th number of an ably edited paper, from
Warsaw, Genesec county, N. Y, equal in appear
ance to tho best we have before noticed. 1t bears
the above title, and is published by old friend
and fellow-type-settcr ]. A. HADLEY, as erect and
clever genius as ever bowed at case or stoop-
cd over press. If editorial merit and mechanic
al maturity will insure success, this attempt to
establish press in the rich, wheat growing vale
of Warsaw, among thriving and intelligent po-
pulation, must be sustained as we heartily wish
it may.
And another-The Ohio City Argus--by Ly-
MAN w. HALL g. Timothy HALL SMEAD, (brother
of him at Manhattan and of III. ID. Smcad of the
Bath Advocate, N. W is before us, of the 9th
number--neat, clear, pretty, very large, and nell
conducted-except, being on the wrong side of
the fence in presidential preferences. In support
of the passablc general for the first seat and of
him for the second whose greatest claim is, being
man of fair proportions, its young zeal is quite
too warm. Its advertising patronage shows en-
couragingy for the proprictors and richly for
the now city of its location formerly the village
of Brooklyn, within stones throw of Clevo-

bearing the name of our majestic river, from the
village of that name, at the entrance into Lake

handsome sheet, well arranged, and also ably con-
ductcd-making neat and extensive display of
advertising patronage. st. Joseph is about as
miles west north west from us, and is place of
considerable lake commerce now, with the pros
pect ahead of soon becoming mart of extensive
busincss,--in Berrien county, where paper like
the Herald, void of scurrility, was very much
needed. Three interesting articles from it, will
be found in our to-day's paper, relating to their
bridge, ameeting at New Buffalo, and the village
of Ncw-Germantown. The editor, Mr.. Drapier,
accompanies the professions IF neutrality with
an expression of his faith, that Mr.. Van Buren,
