tanned full compensation for his Jealous
services in the cause OF General Jackson,
aud which he followed up to the last, as
an Eiector for Mr.. Van Buren,. Mr.. F,

and has the requisite qualifications to
fill the Office well, and as we mus; have

we regard him as better than some, and
inferior to none of his competitors. Of
whom there were not few.

ISLANDER CASE.

We learn from the Petersburg Intell:gen-
Ger, that's case was tried lew days since
in the Superior Court Of that town, between
Nicholas Mills, Esq. of Richmond, and Jo-
seph Mason, OF Petersburg, for slanderous
words uttered by the defendants wife, in re-
ference TO the plaintiffs daug hler. The tri-
al consumed eight days, during which time
forty witnesses were examined. The Jury
after retiring for few minutes, returned
verdict Of five thousand dollars damages a
gainst the defendant, accompanied by spe-
c'dl verdict, expressing in the strongest
terms, their entire confidence in the ;nno-
cence Of the accused. The damages appear
To he excessive, but no amount could COM
Pensate for The injury sustained 10y this in
nocent young lady, and the outraged feelings
OF her fond parents. We hope this case will
bea lesson TO others TO beware how they in
du!ge in The expression of their malignant
feelings, at least towards virtuous and deli
cafe young ladies'. Charlottesville 1IdU.

nine years old, whose widowed mother lives

failures and deficiencies have been punished
with inhuman severity Daily Adver-

The custody of the Sheriff. in whose pos
session he was placed for Keeping, by
virtue of a writ OF homine replagiendo

Supreme Court Tor djudication.-He
was accordingly, after the business for
the day Of the court OF sessions was ended,

FIRE One Of the car houses, a wooden

The Mysterious Money.-Some doubts
having been expressed about the
$4,000, in bills, found in a shoe, among
the rubbish Of the house at the corner of
Salem and Carter street, it may throw
some light upon The question to state,
that the house, II years ago, was the
residence Of two notorious counterfeilcrs
named Wilmington and Lewis, who
were associates of the late Mark Win

but Wilmington escaped while Che Off

LATE FROM FLORIDA.
Defeat Of The Seminole indians.


We had two arrivals from Jackson
willie, e. Z. last evening, aud learn from
passengers, the gratifying Intelligence
that an express. which reached Carey s
Ferry on Monday last, (having left the
army the preceding morning. at Waboo
Swamp reported that two battles had
taken place between the Tennessee and
Florida Volunteers, aud the Indians, IN
both Of ,ohich the former acere victorious.
The first engagement took place on the
18th inst. in which % Indians were
killed, while the loss of the whites was
8 killed, and several wounded. The
last fight occurred on Saturday afternoon
last: the loss on either side not ascer-
tanned. The regulars and friendly In
lisps were not engaged in either battle,
having taken another route.
From an old negro, who was taken
prisoner, it was ascertained that not
more than half the Indians were eugag-
ed, the other portion having taken ano-
Their course-and that they were short
OF powder and disposed to yield, but
feared TO make the proper advances.
1t gives us much pleasure thus to an
nounce that decisive victory has been
obtained over these hitherto indomita-
BILE savages, and we hope the advantage
obtained may only be the precursor of
all entire subjusation Of the horde, and
that speedily.
