Ftom the Char lesion Courier,
FLORIDA INDIANS,

Extract from letter, received 10 this city,
dated, near Monticello. Fla. March 2lst.
1--WE are still in constant dread of the
Indians. About ten days ago they attack
ed family so near to Monticello o. six
miles The old man, Mr.. Gray, was sitting
at his Preside reading an almanac, which
he had that evening purchased at a store in
Monticello. They entered the house so
quietly and with such a slight and sieaI,hy
step, that they were not heard until they
were 10 the room, they instantly fired upon
the poor old man and killed him. Miss
Gray was sitting with her brother in her
arms they wounded her in the stomach,
The ball passing through tho little boys
leg. DespalrIng Of life, she forced her way
right through The midst of them; she sue
ceeded in getting into The yard, when the
child was taken from her; she received
two other wounds, Il stab on tho shoulder
aud blow on the head which cut her Sc
verey. After all ms she escaped, and is
recovering. The poor little boy suffered a
great deal, he says, that after the Indians
took him from his sister they threw hun
down and stamped upon his head, after
which he remembers no more. lie was
taken up the next morning for dead, but
life was no, extinct ; he lay insensible for
four days with his head swollen to the
most unnatural size. but the doctor thinks
he will recover. Que of the old mans
daughters escaped with two children with.
out the slightest injury, but the youngest
one was found the next morning dead be-
fore the house, having been abbed through
the heart. After plnndering tho house
they set it on fire, and poor Mr.. Gray, who
two hours before, was as well al any Of us
was consumed in his house and his nshe,
mingled with those of his home. His chill
drcn are now destitute, and added to tina
list of numberless orphans which this horri
| bic war has made.

PARTNERSHIP AND DISSOLUTION.

The PHILADELPHIA World tells queer
story, without mentioning names, of cir
cumslances which have happened IN that
city. to The following effect. That young
man having q pretty wife, enlisted and
went to Florida that she and name less
priest after some time. presuming the first
husband to have been duly despatched by
the Indians, joined par'nershlp;--lhat not
long after, the original husband appeared
suddenly before the happy pair, insisting
that he was not dead, and claiming his dear
wife; that the parson stouily argued
against any such infringement Oh the dls'
puted terriory,-,ha' offer a long SQUAD.
bic, the claimant offered to give up for
thirty dollars, but The possessor of the
property refused to i've more than twenty
but the wife finally, acting us umpire, de-
cided that she was worth twenty five dol
lars! They adjourned forthwith to law
yer who drew the writings, and then the
precious dispu,anls had another wrangle
as to which should pay the fees, but the
wife cut these short by paying them her.

FRIDAY MORNIN ArRIL 10.

We have given up large portion of our
paper to day to tho argument Of Mr.. ADAMS
10 the case of Holmes. and we are quite
confident we could not have made q better
appropriation. The question Is one that
has excited an unusual share Of interest, in
this communI,y-in fact, throughout the
coun,ry-and it's decision is of no little i'm.
portanco to The character and well being
Of the nation. 1t is important, therefore,
lha, the fundamental principles on which
that decision must rest, should be generally
generally understood and appreciated. Mr..
Adams has very clearly and forciby pre-
scented them, according to his view of the
subject. So far as hasiy perusal enables
us to Judge. his argument IS well reasoned
and fair, and we are ready to acknowedg &c,
that we do not perceive any fair ground to
escape it. We bcspeak for 1t the care
fv attention of every reader. If we cor
procure a copy for publication, we will next
week give the Argument on the opposite
side, which we are well assured present:
the question very ably.
1t is certainly a singular circumstance,
that principle Of this magnitude, should
have remained so long unsettled, and now
in the sixty-lhird year Of our national eXs'
tence be left to the decision of Vernon,
Farmer. We, have. however, no doubt a:
to the soundness of the decision, whatever
it may be. Gov. Jennison has bestowed
a good deal of attention to the subject
consulted the most eminent jurlsts ard con
stltulional lawyers in the country, and hat
the benefit of able written arguments or
both sides; and with such appliances. W.
want no other assurance Of just decision
than the application of that sound praclica
common sense for which His Excellepcy j,
so peculiarly distinguished.
The decision was not received as expect
ed, on Wednesday, nor do we learn from
The sheriff that he hos any in,imal.on wha'
it will be. 1t will, however, doubtless be
promulgated before we issue another mum
Der, and We now venture The prediction
that Holmes will be surrendered

at the time Of their arrival At the wharf,
have employed Mr.. Drcsbach, constable of

prevent the entrance on board Of carmen,

owners arc ready to have them delivered.
Yesterday. while discharging this duty, as

latter seized Mr.. Driesbach, aud cndeavor.

around urged him to do so. Mr.. d. having
successfully resisted this attempt. was next
seized by the throat, cbokcd severely, and
being lhrust with violence against the
piles Of wood on the wharf, was very much
bruised. He was, however, rescued by
the captain and mate Of the boat, who ap.

After his late excursion up the chimney,
he was committed TO the dungeon, where
he remained just one week. On Thursday

On examination. the lock proves to be-
very much in character with tho rest par,
