From ST. Augustine.

arrived at this port yesterday, from
St. Augustine. We had, however,
previously received the following let

and the guarding of pickets require.

The volunteers in the garrison turned
out promptly, and in such manner as
to inspire the greatest confidence in
them, if indeed any evidence Of their
zeal were wanting.
~There are reports Of Indians hav-
ing been seen over the bridge yester-
day: but little confidence IS put IN

! surrender to the United States theil
cattle and horses, Of which they have
a considerable number, and shall BE-
paid for all they surrender. In con
lformity with this provision, the Indi
an Agent advertised a sale of Indian
cattle and horses to take place on the
LIST of December, aud another on the
5th: and the Seminoles received no
tice to bring in and surrender their
stock according to the treaty.
When orders were received to bring
in the cattle, Charles, the head Chief,
supported by a part of the nation, was
inclined to bring them in, and submit
peaceably to the disagreeable necessi-
ty of migration. A portion of the
tribe was inclined to resist the reno
val by force, and to die with arms in
their hands rather than taInely relin-
quish the territory for which they
were indebted to the vaior Of their
forefathers.
Hicks, the successor Of Neba Math-
la, had been shot some time previous,
being charged with too great subser-
viency to the white men? Charles,
whom the influence Of the United
States had caused to be appointed in
his place, now shared a similar fate.
Nine warriors of the war party en-
tered the council, and. presenting their
rifles to the breast of the unpopular
chief, they shot nine bullets through
his heart.
Louis, a warrior well known for
his hostility to the whites, had been
appointed head chief; and he and his
party have positively refused to take
any step towards carrying the treaty
of removal into effect, have retired
into the swamps and set the authori-
ty of the United States at defiance.
The settlers in that neighborhood
are greatly alarmed. They consist
principally of herdsmen, whose cat
lie Craze in the pinev woods, and are
few in number and widely scattered.
The women and children have been
collected at Nunansville; little viii
age, the county seat Of Alachun, on
The mail route from Tallahassee to
Augustine, about twenty-five miles
rom the former, and seventy-fvel
niles from the latter. Here at the
asst intelligence, the people Of A|ach-
Ia were building a fort and block hou-
'es, and making preparations for de-
ence.
Some fifty or sixty miles south OF
near the Orange Lake.
ind not far from the banks of the Cha
vaha, the principal tributary Of the
Saint Johns, is Cantonment Brooke,
he station occupied by the L. States
roops. In the vicinity are some set
dement's on three or four very con-
siderable plantations. 1t is probable
hat the people of this neighborhood
lave taken refuge at Cantonmenti
Brooke. or as it is otherwise called,
camp King. Five companies Of L.
states troops are stationed here; bu:
he ranks, it is said, are very thin, and
he whole effective force probably /
Ioes not exceed one hundred and fifty
men. The station is under the COM
nand of Gen. Clinch.''

A paragraph has been going the
rounds of the papers, accusing a Mr..
n. Sharp. member of the society of
Shakers, Lebanon, Ohio, of abscon-
ding with one Of the fair sisterhood,
and carrying with him large amount
Of the funds of the society. 1t turns
out that but part of the statement is
true. Sharp, it seems, has shook off
the trammels of the society, and mar
ried one Of the Shakers, but the lat
ter part Of the story is an entire mis-
representation. Sharp was the bu-
siness agent of the community, and
there is some difference of a pecunia-
~ nature between him and his prin-
cipals, but which is in a fair way Of
being adjusted amicably.

NEW YoRK, Feb. 10.
Early yesterday morning, . fro broke
out in the very extensive five story brick
hrilding in Mulberry st., between Spring
and Broom streets, known az the Metho-
dist Book Concern. An alarm Of fire from
a wooden stable in Stanton street, was CIV
len a little after three O'Clock. The en-
9ines we're returning from this, when a
new peal was rung from the bells, which
hurried them back to Mulberry street. d,
was about four o'clock when the first
indications Of fire within the building were
d,scovcred-how it originated, we could
not ascertain. Very soon, however, from
the combustibilay Of the c"ntents-an
immense quantity Of printed sheets, books,
trac.s and paper-and the absolute impos-
sibility TO procure w,ter-all the MIGRANTS
being frozen-tne flames obtained such
mastery As to render every effort to save

The vaA pile, extending probably $50 feet
On Mulberry street, and running back, in
GLIDING largo four story building IN the
rear. about 100 feet was speedily wrapped
IN sheet Of intense a me, which ~ parts
Of the roof and floor fell in, shot up in fu-
rious bursts, scattering far and vide large

TExAs.-New Orleans papers of the 20th
October give summary Of news from Tex
as received by the Pennsylvania from We
lasco. The Texas Telegraph of October IL,
mentions that General Houston and his suite,
arrived at Columbus, the seat of government,
on the 9th October. The election of Hous-
ton and Lamar as President and Vice Presi.
dent has been confirmed, and the votes for
annexing Texas to the United States were
almost unanimous. The Congress had done
little except to decide contested elections; to
adopt the former constitution rs il is; and to
authorize serips to be issued for the sale of
public lands, in order to obtain loans. 1t is
believed by many, says the New Orleans
Standard, that the constitution rs it il, will
dcbar the claims Of non-residents, or those
who are not actual settlers, to valid titles Of
lands-wliiclI must lead to pernicious results
If true; as many who possess titles and are
not residents, have been mainly instrument

try.
Generals Rusk, Green, and Felix Houston
are candidates for generallissimo of the Tex

appointed. II was expected that Burnet,

INDIAN SUMMER.-The New York Gazette

sations and emotions very different from
those originally caused by that phrase in the
breasts Of our forefathers. The following is
the derivation of this term according to the
Gazettc:-
"Soon after the first settlement Of New
England by the whites, il is well known that
the ardy pilgrims were so constantly barras-
scd by the natives, as to be compelled to at

their sides, or within their reach; und during
the protractcd wars with the celebrated King
Philip, OF Mount Hope, the only periods of
comparative security and repose. were in The

An instance of the force of habit occurred
at the political meeting ofyesterday evening.
Mr.. =, member of the bar, began his
address to the auditory by "gentlemen of the
Jury" This, as may be expected, called forth
a very hearty laugh, in which the gentleman
as heartily joined; but when the merriment
had subsided he gave the following happy
turn to his mistake. "Gentlemen, will not
apologize for any inadvertence: No, would to
God you were all gentlemen of the jury-of
a jury upon their sacred oaths to use their
best and purest endeavors for the good of
their country, and in opposition to principles
which, in their results, may lead to the sub
version Of that freedom for which our fathers
fought and bled." This happy turn was re-
