FLORIDA.

The advices from st. Augustine are to
The l4th Of April. Gen. Jesup had gone
to Tampa Bay. The troops were going
into summer quarters. The st. Augustine
Herald gives the following, under date Of
Fort GILLILAND, April ID.
On sunday morning last, the 9th inst, a
party of about fifteen Indians were discov-
cred by boy in hammock near the house
Of Mr.. Smith, on the Chester river, about
@ miles from the Natural Bridge, on the
Sante Fee, Columbia county, and about is
miles from this place. The Indians came
up 10 the boy, threw him on the ground,
and told him to cover his face with his hat,
and then sho: him through the head with
his own gun, loaded with small shot, and
left him for dead.
In about one hour the boy had so far re-
covered as to 60 home, and reported tina.
there were Indians near by, which report
being confirmed by the wounds he exhibi.
ted, hasty flight was mado by all the fam.
lily except Mr.. Smith, who was very infrm,
and about ITO years Of age. The family
had got but short distance from the house
when they heard the report of two guns.
The alarm was soon spread, and Captain
Kindly, with two men, went to the place,
where they saw the Indians sitting around
the house and on the fences, apparently ve-
ry unconcerned. After the Indians were
gone, it was found that Mr.. Smith had been
killed, and the house plundered Of all that
was valuable among which was one keg
Of powder, four or five guns, provisions,
bedding, &c.
On Monday, the 9th, two men, Mr.. Snow.
den and Mr.. Townsend, were shot down
in the field while at work, on New River,
about twelve or fourteen miles from this
place, and their bodies awfully mangled by
the Indians, supposed to have been about
six in number.

Prom he N. Y. Jour. OF Commerce, April

Land Ho YESTERDAY was proud day
/. for New York. II Witnessed the restora-
ton Of specie payments in less than twel We
months from the time of suspension, after
one ofthe most fatal mercantile revolutions
which ever happened. Such a recovery
from such wreck, the world never be-
fore saw. 1t is attributable, under the bles.
sing of Heaven, TO the energy, the SO und
intelligent good sense, and moral integrity
of our citizens. The banks have resumed
in the fullest sense of the term. They
notes, which they now pay out as formerly.
The hearts of our citizens were filled with
Joy at this, as well they might be.
The arrival two steam ships also from
Europe, in such manner as TO remove all
doubts about the entire. feasibility of nav
igating the Atlantic 10 that manner, was a
most important and most graft, ing event.
1t brings us within ten or fifteen days Of
Europe, and gives us such increased GER
tanty, as well as quickness that new era
opens upon us. Take il all in all, we think
commercial community were seldom
more happy than ours Yesterday.
The Great Western came up in style,
turning a circle around the Sirius, lying at
anchor west of Castle Garden, and then
proceeded by the East river TO Judd's
wharf. All her revolutions performed with
the facility of one of our smallest steam.
boats. Her voyage has been almost in a
straight line across the Atlantic. The
weather has been good, except that the wind
has been ahead and the sea rough. She
has had so little motion that it has not been
only once has there been motion enough
to upset cups and saucers. She took in
six hundred tons of coal, Of which perhaps
two hundred remains.
II is known to many Of our readers that
the steam apparatus Of the Sirius is con-
structed on new plan, by which all dan.
ger Of explosion is avoided. 'Her distilling
worms small copper tubes are said by the
Post to measure nearly four feet; but this
appears 10 us incredible. Her boilers we're
supplied the whole way with fresh water,
by means Of a distilling apparatus. which
converted salt water into fresh. The exper-
iment, with this ship (as we'll as the other,)
has been completely successful. Her
steam was kept up, and her Roadway,
without a moments interruption. The
consumption of fuel was at the rate Of
1900 lbs. an hour of bituminous coal. So
that her stock Of four hundred tons is
nearly exhausted. She has between fifty
and sixty passengers, but very little freight.
The captain provided himself very gener.
ousy with newspapers and magazines,
which he gave away most freely TO all the
editorial corps. We were however abun.
dainty supplied I; for our correspondents a,
London sent US our periodicals for April
and newspapers plenty, and Wilmer at
Liverpool doubled the dose.
