From Forida.-The steamer Santee,
arrived here yesterday, from St. Angus
tine, by which vessel, we received the
AeTs of that place of 18th inst.
We learn that six more Indians, who
had come in at Smyrna, for provisions,
were captured put oil board the Sonfee, and
taken to St. Augustine, where they were
put in confinement.
Il is stated that Sam Jones, the Semi
mole Chief, paid a visit to Lieut.. Tomp-
kins, at New River, on the 18th inst. He
evinced strong Indignation at the conduct
of the Indians, in numbering the soldiers
Of Col. Harney's command.
"In his talk he said that he had found the white
man was his friend, and that be would never
again raise his hand against thrm. He has sent
runner TO find out the cause OF the horrid murder
OF Col III rney's men, and he returns,
he determined TO punish the murderers He
says he has no men with him at present, but has
sent them along the coast, and in the interior to
collect the str4ggefs, and let them unite their
strength, thst ne may more easily overtdke them.
That We must not for a moment think that he
will give over the meter. That he is determined
to punish the Spanish Indians. He thinks there
are some white men connected with them, and
also hat Sandy, the interpreter, excited them. or
told them some lies He says that he has known
Sandy since he was boy, and that he is a tresch-
erous rascal, that he has not the sense of white
man, he has not the sense of an Indian, he has
not the sense OF a negro. That he has been eat
ing white bread with the white man. but if he did
not take care he will make him eat turtle yet"

Almost a Riof.-A Nun having escaped
from the Convent in Baltimore, in disor-
deied state Of mind, and maniteslng a re-
luctance to return, the people became great.
" excited and assembled by thousands,
for two or three evenings, in the neighbor-
hood Of the Convent. Nothing but the
energy of the Mayor, and the prompt APP
pearance Of the City Guards and the Mil
ltary in great force, prevented similar
disgraceiu and unmaniul outrage, to that
witnessed in the destruction Of the Convent
near Boston. At the invitation of those
having charge OF the Institution, the May
or and committee of gentlemen visited
the Nunnery and had an opportunity of
comforting with all ITS inmates. Their re-
port was such as to satisfy all reasonable
minds. A guard was maintained near the
premises, for several nights, but no other
disturbance took place.-Rat Reg.

MISCELLANEOUS.
MYSTERY, REASON AND FATE

1t is seldom that we meet with passage more
truly eloquent than the following. 1t is taken
from an essay by the Rev. E. Peabody, of New
Bedford
Night comes over ship at sea, and a pas
senger llngers hour n fter hour alone on the deck.
The waters plunge and weller and glide away
beneath the keel. Above, the sails tower up in
the darkness, almost to the sky, and their shad
ow falls as it were a burden on the deck below.
In the clouded night no star is to be seen, and,
as the ship changes her course, the passenger
knows not which way is east west, or north
or south. What island, what sunken rocks may
b con her course, or what that course is, or where
they are, he knows not. All around to him is
Mystery. He bows down in the submission of
utter ignorance.
But men of science have read the laws of the
sky. A nd the next day this. passenger beholds
the captain looking at clock, and taking note
of the place Of the sun, and, with the aid OF a
couple of books composed of ru les and mathe.
NAUTICAL tables, making calculations. And when
he has completed them, he is able to point al
most within a hands breadth to the place at
which, after unnumbered windngs he has arrv.
ed in the midst of the seas. Storms may have
heat and currents drifted, but he knows where
they are, and the precise point where, hundred
leagues over the water, lies his native shore
Here is Reason approaching and making use OF
the revelations (if we may so call them) Of
science.
Night again shuts down over the waste of the
waves, and the passenger beho!ds single sea
man stand at the wheel, and watch, hour after
hour, as it vibrates beneath lamp, little nee
die, which points ever, as if it were living fin
ger, to the steady pole.
This man knows nothing of the rules OF nav
igation, nothing of the courses of the sky. But
reason and experience have given him Faith in
the commanding officer ofthe ship-taith in the
unerring integrity Of the little guide before him
And so, without single doubt, he steers his
ship on, according Ito prescribed direction
through night and the waves. And that faith is
not disappointed. With the morning sun, he
beholds far away the SUBMITS of the gruy aud
misty highlands rising like a cloud on the hori
zon and, us he nears them, the hills appear, e.
the lighthouse at the entrance of the harbor, g.
(sight of joy) the spires of the churches, and
the shining roofs, among which he strives to
detect his own.

A DISTRESSING SCENE, we learn from the
Brockville Recorder, recently occurred at trial
at Perth, Upper Canada. The prisoner was in
dicled for the murder Of his son law. The
scene is thus described :
"During the investigation, the widow Of the
deceased, who was ut the same ime the tiaugh-
ter OF tine prisoner, was on the pnrt of the de
fence, brought into court to be sworn. She Rp.
peared in mourning-pae, thin. and greatly dis
composed and it was only with eXertion on
her part, that she could keep composed enough
to speak however, nothing material was eli
cited from her. Her feelings frequently over
came her, and she hurst out into loud soI>s, at
one ofwhrh times, she cast her eyes upon tire
prisoner, and screeched father father The
court, of course, ordered her removal she had
to pass her father, to whom she extended her
hand in The midst Of her sobs. The old man,
in tears, reached out his hand TO his widowed
daughter the hand which, at the instigalion of
his heart. had been the means alike of her mis-
cry and his own--she received it and was taken
away. The scene was tragical, and though be-
tween these humble Individuals brought the
tears TO many an eye"
