ST. AUGUSTINE, Feb. Is.
INDIAN DEVASrATIONS,

The wholcOf tho coHatry south Of St.
Augustine has been laid waste during
the past week, aad not building olany
value left standing. There is not sin
glo house now remaining between this CT
ty aud Cape Florida, distance Of 25o
miles; all, all, have beea burnt to the
ground. On Sunday morning last,
dense smoke was seen IN the south, in the
direction OF BuIowvIlle, and it was con
Iectured that the buildings on lhat planta
lion were in flames, and it was known
that there were none but Indians in that
direction. The smoke was seen in the
same direction on Tuesday. On Thurs
day, it was reported that General Herman
dez's houses at St. Joseph's were on fire,
and in the afternoon this report was COZ
6rmed by two OF General Hernandez's ne
groes, who stated that they bad rode from
Mala Compra TO ST. Joseph's that morn
ing, and came within quarter Of mile
Of The house; aOd had fall veiw of the
burning buildings. They state the hous
es 10 have been fired about Z o'clock that
morning, and that every house except
The corn house was burning at the time
they were there, The indians had post
ed sentinels at some distance from the
houses, while The main body were dan
cling around the fire. The negroes can
give US no correct idea ss TO the number
ortho Indians, but say that there was
large crowd Of them. The plantation
of Col. james Williams was also set fire
10 and destroyed atthe same time. Mr.
Duponl's plantation Of Bueu Retro is al
so destroyed. There now rsmains no
doubt Of the destruction of BulowviIIs.
II IS the opinion Of maay that after the
battle at DunlAwton the Indians procured
large reinforcement, and returned to at
tack Bulowvlle. The amount of proper
" destroyed Is immenSe; at Bulowville
alone, the buildings are said TO have cost
$4,000 dollars. The properly destroyed
