FALSE PkIDE.-Nothing can be meaner than the
false pfde exhibited by some young girls towards the
ladies who give them lessons in music dra wing or
languages Some af them pass their instructresses
in Broadway and elsewhere, without acknowledging
the acquaintance even by passing bow others sa-
lutte in passing, but would on no account invite
lady to their house guest; and she, whose cul-
tvalon and refinement may far exceed that of her
pupils is considered by them OF inferior rank because
she has added to her other merits that of rendering
herself independent by the exercise of her talents
Now all this is wrong entirely wrong and in this
country IT has no meaning but of excessive folly,
in those who practise it. Where there are no heredi-
tary distinctions, and leng- established division of
society into castles or rank the only mode of cassif
cation is that of wealth. or individual merit compris
ing refinement of manners and culrly alton of mind
That such false pride can take place, in a repub-
Inc like ours, shows how many genera ens il requires
10 remove the taint of arisocracy derived from the
mother country. 1t be hoped that the day of it's
utter extinction is at hand and that female teachers
of uablenshed reputation, of refined and cultivated
minds, will be received into society on footing of
perfect equality.
lfpolicy, fproprety if Christianity fail to give them
the right tone of feeling towards Their teachers let the

which she contemns. Sweet ladies', one and all.

tachmen of U. S. Dragons, about so in number, un.
der Captain Beall, scouting in the ncighborhood OF
San Feasce, near Newnanville, discovered an Indian
trail which was followed up, and while in the pur-
SUIT suddenly attacked by gang of Indians,
estimated at about 60. Capt Walker, of Aachua coun.
ty, acting as guide, was in the advance, and was
MORALLY wounded, and died in a few minutes. The
fire kept up for some minutes with spirit on both
sides. Six Of the Dragons were wounded. They
succeeded in driving the Indians short distance into
hammock, where the force Of the troops was too
small to follow them. Two Indians were fouad kill
ed the dragons rersated in good order, bringing
with them the body of Capt. Walker. While retreat
ing the Indians came out Of the hammock, and COM
menccd firing, but at long distance off. Capt Dade
of the Dragons, with his company, had gone to-
wards The Okefenokee Swamp which was the reason
no more force could be procured.

There is no class OF men who contrbute more 70
thu prosneritv of commerce and the welfare Of the
nation than the ebbng merchants, and none pro-
badly are effected much by the reverses q fortune
The late revision in our commercial affairs fell heav
lest upon this very worthy class OF men, and COM
merce must continue 10 langush until the jobbing
business revives; which cannot take place SO long
as the iobbng merchants are and oppress-
ed as they are, both by debtors and creditors
The importers of the city il appears, at least some
efthe,a, are determined to harrass and Cypress the
merchants, who are indebted to them to the last de-
gree of torture and employ Of the basest cha
racer, to carry out their sordd designs Now, it is
notorious fact that many Of these very importers
are laborng under pecunary embarrassment and are
and have been escd for the non payment of their
debts to large amount.
We are in possession of names, facts and cIrcum-
stances which shall shortly be exhibited through the
medium OF our columns, for public scrutiny. Many
Of them are not whit better than they should be.
We intend TO 60 back their origin, investigate their
past and present private history aside the veil of
arrogance and self conceit which they have hither-
TO eHyeoped themselves, and exhibit them in ather
horrd depIavi,y to the sconu gaze OF an indignant
and injured community
We shall speak freely and unreservcdly of certain
weavers and spinners in their ranks, who have ac-
quired notoney by specializing upon the innocent af
fecons of the daughters of our worthy citizens and
building the foundation Of home upon their fortunes
The education and literary requirements of these
worthless will afford much ntere sting matter for the
speculation and edfication Of those who are well
yersed in the classics.
