TROUBLE WITH THE oSAGEs

The st. Louis Republican gives an inter
resting account of a recent difficulty with
the Usage Indians.
1t appears that a small band of the Osa-
ges, Is or 20 In number, in state border
ing on starvation, came into the settlements
in Hates county, No. about Is miles above
the Harmony mission, and applied to one
of the settlers, Mr.. Dodge, to buy corn.
Dodge ordered them away. the Indians
pleaded their extreme hunger and insisted
on the purchase, but Dodge warned them,
that Unless they departed forthwith, the
whites would whip them. During the night
they killed a number Of hogs, e. on the fol-
lowing day, fifteen of the settlers went arm
ed to the Indian camp. AS the settlers ap-
preached the Indians commenced loading
their guns. They were ordered to desist
from loading, but the order was disregarded
The whites thefeupoh fred upon them, and
the firing was kept up on both! sides until
night, when the whites fetirned home with
their wounded, leaving the Indians in pos
session of the battle-ground. Two. of the
whites were wounded; the loss Of the lndi-
ans was unknown. At the time of the en-
counter the agent Of the Indians was on
his way to ST. Louis in company with one
of the principal chiefs of the nation and Sc
veral braves! On hearing the intelligence
he returned instantly to his people with a
to prevent if possible the fur

COuRTSHIP.

In section of our country, where the
good people are more remarkable for their
honesty and simplicity than for their polish
ed manners, lad who had arrived at, an
age when mostboys take it into their heads
that wife is indispensibly necessary to
their happiness, felt, or believed he felt, no
matter which, fame for one of his fair
neighbors. Possessing an uncommon share
ofbashfulness, he could not venture to So
licite her heart and hand in person, but
prevailed on an elderly brother, who accord
ingly made visit, and after yawning a
considerable time, thrning his back, fearing
she might witness his confusion, addresses
her: Gould body get yoh to have him!"
Expecting this question, she modesty re-
plies; "Well / reckon so.;' He observed,
ltis'nt me that wants you, its brother
Jacky."

INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA.

Our express ship from the Savannah Geor-
glan contains three letters from Fort Jube-
ter, under date of February 1lth and l2th.
The first states that ont representation
of an Indian negro, flag of truce had pas
sed between General Jesup and the Indians,
The following extract states the assault:
On our getting 2S miles southwest ofthis,
we came near the Indians, (say 2OO.) They
were just going to fire;--a black man beg
ged to go with flag. saying he knew the
Indians would give up. We halted,- "a
flag was sent,---ou, came 40. A council
or parley was held with Tuslke-eee, and a
sub-chief. The General required them to
come in, &c. They talked as usual,-plead
to suspend hosthties, &c. The General
told them at last, he would like to write to
the president that his red people were be-
fore him, and if they came so near to his
camp that he could say so in truth, he would
try to get him to allow them to stop in the
country, south %. They said they would
go into the hammocks and consult. They
did so, and in twenty minutes closed with
the terms. They are now to come and en-
camp miles off with all their people in
ten days, (Feb. 2Oth.)
In another passage we find the following.
"Poor creatures, ii would be humane to
put them in another country; at least, so
one would think, for verify there is not an
acre of ground between this and Fort Taylor
worth two blades Of grass. You may rest
assured these Indians are not to be whipped
in one fight or two fights, nay nor in do
zen, they will never put themselves in a
situation to be caught"

Payment Of Debts.-L----s, a country
actor, was notorious for his disregard Of the
laws of neatn and fuun; even when in com
paritively opulant circumstances, he never
paid any thing without the Intervention of
John Doe and Richard Roe. A friend once
endeavoured to persuade him ofthe folly as
well as the injustice Of this. "Sir," said
H., with johnsonian gravity, "whether a
man owe any thing or not, is matter of
opinion. no man can possibly be Judge in
his own cause; therefore, no sensible man
should pay any thing without taking the
opinion oftvelve indifereat Persons upon
the merits of the case"

SUPPORT YOUR MEcHANIcs.-There is
scarcely anything, says the Knickerbocker,
which tends more 10 the improvement OF a
town, than fair and liberal support offered
to Mechanics of every description. Popu-
lation is necessary 10 the prosperity of any
country-and the population being of an
honest and industrious character, renders
prosperity more certain, uniform, and unva-
rying. Scarcely any place has risen to
much importance, even ifpossessed of the
best commercial advantages, without due
regard to the encouragement of the me-
chanic arts. For though the importation
of merchandise forms the leading features
of such place, the various arts Of Mechan-
les are put invariably into fequisilion, and
are indispensable to render the progress of
commercial operations safe. To an inland
town. mechanics are equally important as
elsewhere. They constitute large and
highly respectable portion Of society in
counties, but in towns and villages they
are almost leading constituent part Of their
growth and population.

The Miners Journal, Philadelphia Inqui-

ing to cheer uptheir friends by stating that
the Harrisburg Chronicle, the Berks and

which they say were all Wolf papers, are
now in favor of Ritner. We do not know
but those papers did support Wolf at the
last election but we do know, that the Har-

ANTI-MASONRY.

The Chambersbnrg Repository IAN op-

remarks: "A few of Gov. Ritner's printers.
are invoking the spirit of Anti-masonry to
secure his reelection; and consequently
their own offices. This is displaying more
zeal than prudence. If his excelieney can
not be sustained on better grounds than that

ton is forlorn indeed"

VERY IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA

l.
By the Cincinnati, Capt. arrived
yesterday from Garey's Ferry via Jackson
vile, we have received the Courier of that
place, from the home journal of which we
make the subjoined extracts, confirming the
Indian murders at Ocean Pond, but aug
menting the number. 1t will be seen that
Mr.. Gillen's whole family fell victims to the
ferocity of these savages.
In the Cincinnati came passengers five
Shawnee warriors on their way to Wash
ington. They are ID. McNair, George
Williams, j. Daugherty, Black Hook, and
George Thomas.
JACKSONVILLE, March 2l.
SAD INTELLIGENCE FROM THE INTERIOR.
e. L Mizeli, late captain in Col, Mills
regiment, brings the following account Of
the murder of whole family at the Ocean
Pond in Columbia county, about six miles
from this, and forty north of Newnansville.
On Friday last, just before sunset, wo-
man Of the name Of Robinson appeared at
the Falling Creek settlement on the Suwa-
nee, in great CONSERVATION and terror, and
said she had seen George A GiIlett killed
by an Indian; that she had fled from Ocean
Pond, leaving her own child asleep in the
house. From DIR. John Pierce, his broth
er-in-law, Captain NJ learned that Gillett's
family, wife and four children, and five
blacks, woman and four children, were
also all murdered
Gillett was cousin of Captain M; and
had been brave antagonist of the savages
during the war, until his lamented death,
He was brave man, says Captain N. The
Indians, he does not doubt, are scattered
over the whole interior. He thinks they are
the fugitive Greeks. and that they will de-
populate the country, unless the volunteers
be again very soon mustered into service.
Captain M. thinks though he had pursued
this numbering party in vain, with a few
neighbours, on worn-out horses, that sin
gle company of well appointed and well
supported volunteers rangers, might not. on
ly protect the scattered inhabitants of Co
lumbia county, but give good account of
the murderous savages
