HAIL SToRM.-A severe hail storm
passed about two miles east Of this Will
age, on Monday last, doing much dam
age to crops young orchards &c. The
stones are represented to be nearly as
large as hens eggs, and to have fallen to
the depth of several inches. The chief
injury affected by it was confined to a
streak of about half mile in width. Its
course was from north to south. We
have been informed that up the little
St. Joseph, IL, miles north, the ground
was covered to the depth Of 10 inches, but
for this we cannot vouch. Some idea OF
its violence however may be formed from
the fact, that, on the following day, after
l2 o'clock, we saw cake Of seve raj
pounds weight, formed by the congela.
ton of innumerable stones, which had
been broken up from the earth and
brought distance oftwo miles under a
mid day sun, Such visitations are not
ileqoent. and we wish they were less so.

7 VERY LATE FROM FLoRIDA.-tinm Tam
pu.-An express arrived last night from
Tampa with dispatches to General Arm
stead, who is charged with the defence
~of the country east and south of the ST.
Johns. Their contents, so far as we can
ascertain, are not Of very favorable
character, though but little is mentioned
ofthe state of affairs in that quarter. No
mention is made of any shipment of en-
igrants. General Jessup doubts the faith
of the Indians, and intends continuing the
post now established. Ifthe post are bro
ken up the Indians will not emigratc.
The post at New Smyrna is ordered to
be established, and in compliance with
this order, Captain Webster's company
ofartillery will be conveyedby the steam
boat to take position there.
Information had been communicated
to General Jessup by Governor Call,
that fifteen men, women, and children
had been murdered on the Apalachicoa
river, supposed to be by the Creeks
Major Nelson's battalion has been order
ed to report to Governor Call.
We have rumor after rumor of the
movements and dispositions of the Indi-
ans towards emigration, both favorable
and unfavorable; and pow many, if not
all, begin to look upon the prospects Of
the close of the war as yet far distant.
One rumor says that Gen. Jessuphas ex-
pressed his opinion that they cannot be
got off befor fall j; and another that dep
utatioa had waited on him with request
for further extension Of time until fall to
!, efaigrate, which was refused.
Aletter From fort Dade, received in
this city last evening, says that it was
reported that all the indians at Tampa
had absconded, except about 100 or l3O
men, women, and children,were enrolled
for emigration.
Oceola with his band, it is presumed,
had not arrived when the express left
Tampa but Coahajo, who is said to be
the principle chief on the St. Johns riv-
ger,with whom he was, made the most pos
tive assurance at Fort Mellon that he
woul be at Tampa by the 25th instant
with their bands, ready to emigrate.

lage lots, well situated in the town ofDefanc3,
will be offered at public sale at the court mouse
in said town, on the Sd, 4th, and 5th DAYS of
July next, commencing at 10 o'clock A. M.
on said day.
The terms of payment will be one fourth in
hand, and the remainder in two equal annual
nstalments, with interest annually.
Defiance occupies commanding position,
and is decidedly the most beautiful site for a
town, that is any where to be found on the
'Maumee fiver. Indeedfew if any places in
the western or even easternstates, haveso
high reputation for beauty, pleasantnessa and
healthfulness-and when viewed in reference
to its commercial advantages, its future i'm
portance becomes obvious. Like some other
places on the Maumee, Defiance has been
but moderately advancing having been retar-
ded by the slow movements ofth state in the
construc tion of the canals; but our prospects
now brighten. Thirty miles of the easterly
division of the Wabash and Erie canal is al
ready let to contractors the work of excava-
tion is rapidly going on, and we were inform
ed by the chief engineer, that the whole line
will be let through Deiancet to Indiana, during
the present season.
Unscathed by the ravages of the speculator,
surrounded by the most fertile land--rivers
roads and canals concentrating here from eve
ry direction-Tifin river from the north, the
.Auglaize the east and West the Maumee riv-
er, and the Wabash and Erie canal--Def
ance is destined to become great and -four
ishing town.
The enterprising emigrant, of whatever
profession, or calling, will find at Defapceam-
| pie scope for his industry, and sure reward
for his enterprise.
