Tallahassee July 17.-ANoTHER INDIAN MAS
sAcRE.-On Saturday night, between nine and
ter clock, the family of Mr. Green Chairs
living about ten miles from TOWN. were at
tackled by The Indians, and his wife and two chill
dren killed.
The family it appears, presented one of those
quiet peaceful scenes so common in n country
life and which forcibly illustrates that beau,i
full and perfect picture drawn by the nnitable
Burns, in his 'Cotter's Saturday night
Mrs Chairs was sitting by the table, sewing,
surrounded by her interesting family consisting
other husband and six children; Mr. Chairs was
reposing on the bed, in the same room, when
an Indian rifle was fired, and Mrs G. fell dead
from her chair Mr. G. instantly sprang from
the bed, blew out the candle, closed the doors
and windows, and seized his gun, took his stand
with the determination to kill one Indian at all
hazards, when they should attempt to enter the
house. The Indians, however, approached the
house in such way TO be unseen by MIR G.
and proceeded to set fire to the dwelling and
out houses on the premises. Soon after the
dwelling house caught fire, Mr. G. started four
OF the larges. children out at the back door, and
told them TO escape to the next neigbbor's;t they
did effect their escape, and were all saved; the
eldest however, a young lady about seventeen
| was discovered by the Indians, who gave her
chase, and were well nigh making her n victim;
but she had taken the precauton, she was
leaving the house, to take with her dark cloak
and when she found herself closely pursued by
the savages, she suddenly fell into the bushes,
and throwing this garment over her person, con-
cealed herself from the keen eye of her ruthless
pursuers; the Indians, she says passed within
three feet of her! The young lady's life was
saved SO narrowly as to make the blood run cold
even at the thought; and il should not be forgot
ten, that it is entirely attributable to her presence
Of mind.
80 rapid was the fire, and SO great tine con-
s,ernauon produced upon Mr. c. by the sudden
death OF his wife, that IN making his own fight
from the house, he forgot his two Youngest chill
dren-'he ono abou2 years old, and the Other

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITISH QUEEN

FOREIGN NEws-SIx DAYS LATER.-By the
British Queen, we have Londonand Portsmouth
dates OF the 18th, and Liverpool of the 10th of
July.
This elegant ship has nothing of the over
grown awkward appearance, which from her i'm
mense tonnage one would reasonably expect.
Her perfect symmetry cheats her size, so that
giant as she is, it is only by comparison with
other vessels that she seems large. Her tonnage
is 1868 tons, and the power Of her engines is
500 horse.
The revenue of Great Britain for the year g.
quarter ending on the 9Th of July, exhibiting
an increase on the preceding year ofno less than
E2 ,O76,659; and the revenue may, according TO
the Manchester Guardian, be said to have re-
gained the level at which it stood previous 10 the
commercial crisis 1867.
Funeral Of Lady Flora Hastings.-The re.
mains Of Lady Flora Hastings were removed
on the 10Th July from Buckingham Palace, on
board the Royal William steam ship TO be con
veyed to Scotland. Among the carriages in the
procession were the Queen s. that of tie Dutch
ess of Kent, and those OF n very large number Of
theInoblity. The coffin was enclosed III strong
wooden case for embarkation, some Of the re-
laiyes being present at the ceremony. On ar
rival ut Leilh the remains were to be convey ed
privately to London Castle where they would
lie in state one day.
A post mortem examination of the BODY of
deceased, had been held says the Morning
Chronicle, demonstrating two things: First, the
appalling ravages which mortal disease had made
in her frame and secondly, the existence of ex-
ternal appearances that not unnaturaIiy suggest
cd the suspicion which troubled the asst days of
he'deceased lady.
There was runor in London on the 1Ith
of continued serious disturbances in Birming-
ham on Monday and Tuesday. The Manchcs-
ter Guardian of the 10Th speaks however Of no
renewed disturbances; and the quiet of the tow
was so far restored that very little delay would
before buSjNegS nrOcep6pH i'm
cd course.
There appeared to be much distress in some
parts of Ireland. At Rantry 1000 were in a
safe bordering on starvation out of q population
OF 1000. Notwithstanding this, the Chancellor
of the the Exchequer said that he thought that
the less discussion there was on the subject the
better-and he thought the better plan would be
to lay the letters relating to the affair before the
government. No action appears to have been
had upon it.

thousands OF persons have not only been relieved,
but restored to health and vigor through its npcn
cy; and they now chccrfully testify ut every OPP

Is composed OF such medicinal principles us arc
calculated to renew the healthy action of the stom-
ach, liver, and other important digestive organs,
the loss of which harmony is the immediate cause
OF tho disease. It is apparent also, that it produ
ces an entire change in the condition Of the system,
and certainly destroys the native liability to rcap-
ses o! the affection. When the Aguc is attended
with any other coInp plant, the employment OF the
Tonic Mixture will not Interfere wiki the troat
h'ent OF the other disease, but will even afford as
sstancc by furnishing strength and vigor to the
pody during the course OF treatment Those who
make use of this medicine may be assured that
there is no Arsrnic, Barks, Mercury, or any other
article IN its composition untrend'y to the human
constitution; being entirely a rcgetobic extract;
and they may have additional confidence in the
use thereof when they perceive that it has the CT

there is no part Of .hc medicine left to lngcr in

Observe! The Proprietor, fully satisfied With the
unparalleled and universal success which has cun
