on his return from Tampa Bay, but few
days previous to the attack. He had been
hunting wild hogs for provisions, and re-
turned late at night very much fntigued, and
Immediately retired to rest, and believes the
Indians were not apprised of his RETURN
About the break Of day, he was aroused by
the firing of guns, and, on going out Of his
tent, found that the Indians had killed

Who had fed to the water, firing at them; he
soon discovered any attempt on his part
would be fruitless, and effected his escape
with one man by means OF canoe some
distance from the camp. The soldiers WHO
took TO the water made their escape by
swimming to a small boat some distance from
the shore. Col. Ii. met with them, and re-
turned to the coast that night, aud procured
some bread left by the Indians, which
enabled them TO subsist. Having met with
a boat that conveyed him 10 Key B'scayDe,
he sent part of his men to Tampa Bay to
report TO Gen. Taylor.
Major Bennett also informs MS that Chltto

Sam Jones denied having any participation
in that affair, or even knowledge Of the

were the Spanish Indians) and expressed
their willingness, in the presence Of the COM

Bennett, TO go and fight them. Both Sam
Jones and Chitto TustcDuggee declare TINT
It is their wish to comply with the treaty, and
Sam offers to give up his son us an evidence
of his sincerity. Col. llarncy arrived at Fort

DEFAULTER YET!

The Post Master Of Mobile, il would seem,
among the rest, has initiated the example
now so generally set by public officers Of
that description, ~ approprlatlng the public
monies to his own use. The following para
graph on that subject, is from the Mobile
Mercantile .4tirertiser.
THE Posr OFFICE OF THIS cirv.-There
has been some stir in our city for several
days past, occasoned by the reported re.
signation Of the Post Master; and curiosity
has been on tlptoe to know the cause of this
unexpected movement. Rumor, with her
thousand tongues, has been busy, out still
the rcat cause is left to conjecture. Certain
it is, that for the last three or four weeks,
heavy drafts have been made Oh this office
from the Department at Washington, which
have been dishonored. 1t is also known that
Capt Garrow, the Post Master, has lately
made a sudden trip TO Washington; and it
is also certain. that Immediately after his re-
turn TO this city, he forwarded his resignation
of office. That there is something wrong,
and even rotten, Someiphfre, there is no man
ner Of doubt. The numerous protested
drafts give ample assurance that such is the
fact. But the location of the infection is as
yet unknown 10 the public. Whether the
secret will ever be made public depends on
circumstances. We feel bound, however, to
say, that we do not believe that the Post
Master in this city has been guilty of any
malfcasance in oflice-but we do L,iieue that
the Department at Washington is perfect
sink Of corr,piiOn; and we further predict,
that time will show the "Ileaven born" to be
q rery prince of dctaullers.
We learn from other sources, that there
can be little doubt that the Post Master of
Mobile is a deiaulter. The Post Master
General certainly owes it to the public to
furnish some information as to the protested
drafts and the resignation. For such infor.
nation Cangrcss will no doubt make CALL

THE LANGUAGE OF A PATRIOT.

We learn from the Baltimore Chronicle, /,
that Mr.. CLAY. in addressing the people of
that city, announced his willingness to with
draw from the Presidential contest, provided
such withdrawal would enable the oppo-
sltlon TO unite successfully upon another
candidate. This patriotic announcement was
received with loud and long protracted cheers
From the New York American.
Mr.. Clay reached Baltimore on Monday
at one O'Clock, and was tlore, as elsewhere,
enthusiastically received.
A procession met him at the Canton depot,
whence he rode into town, with the Mayor,
in a carriage said to be made of the wood Of
the British frigate Scraps, captured by Paul
Jones, during the revolutionary war.
Struggling through a constantly increasing
crowd, the procession at length reached the
City Hotel-from the balcony Of which,
though exhausted by fatigue, ana very honrsc,
Mr. Clay was vehemently urged, and at
length consented, to address the immense
assemblage in front. lie spoke with ANNA
ton for half an hour-urging the Wings to
union and effort, and, among other things,
said, as we learn from the Chronicle
I" lie was aware that his own name had
been used in connection with that high office I;
but, as he had often declared before, so lie
so!cmny declared now, that, if in his opinion,
the withdrawal of his name would unite the
opposition, and enable them so to organize
themselves as to secure the USioN-tbe
HARmoNY-tbe sUccEss--of the opposition,
he would now, at this moment, retire at once
and forever to the private station, which a
long career OF public service had taught him
was the only refuge for tranquil and endur-
ing happiness. At tho utterancc Of this
magnanimous and noble sentiment, the audi
cnce expressed their emotions by loud and
hearty applause"
Mr.. Clay's apartments were crowded with
visiters all the evening.
Yesterday morning he was to leave Balti-

The NATIONAL FLAG DIsGRAcED.-
AT the town-meeting in Tiverton on
Tuesday, August 81, 1899, the tories
prepared n c!am-bake within thirty
yards Of the ballot-box, with guantum
ofrum and whiskey for the loyal subjects
Of His Majesty President Van Buren.
One Allen Durfce of said Tivcrton,
who has boen appointed boatman, by
the Collector of this port, and approved
by the Secretary Of the Treasury, had
the management of this carousal, and
hoisted the Revenue Flag with the stars
and stri pes and the eagle union down,
or in other words bottom upwards, and
it was kept waving while the polls were
open and there were men to drink or
vote.
But when this Custom House officer
went to gather up the fragments, he for
got the flag of his country, (yes, that
country that pays him a large salary
for doing nothing, except riding through
the woods Of Tiverton, distributing abu-
sive and libellous newspapers against
far better men than his masters, and ii
was thrown down in the barn-yard
among the empty bottles, kegs, and
other useless articles, and was picked
up by some person that came late to
the feast, and pawned at the tavern for
% cents.
How long will the people Of Rhode
Island permit these hirelings, under the
cloak Of Revenue officers, to interfere
in their elections How long before
the spirit that animated the breasts Of
those brave men that took possession
Of the sloops Liberty and Gaspcc, will
arouse aud hurl the miscreants from
our land
Another exploit ofthis Custom House
gang. For many years there has stood
at the four corners in Tiverton, liber-
ty pole, reared by some of the patriotic
citizens Of that place, on which they
were in the habit Of suspending the
National banner, until Monday night
previous to the election, some loyal
subjects of His Majesty Martin Van
Buren, charged the liberty pole with
powder, and blew it to splinters.
