FROM FLoRIDA-MoRE INDIAN MURDERs.-By
an extra from the Office of the Apalachicola Ga
zettc under date of the 10th instant we learn that
three families have been murdered by the Indians
in the neghborhood of Blountstown. The name
of only one has been ascertained, a Mr.. Lamb
He was shot when endeavoring to make his escape
After the Indians had killed part of the family,
and driven the rest away, they pagsd the house,
and then set it fire, with the outbuildings. OF
the other families, several were killed. The Ga
zettc says, the Indians who committed these depre-
dations are said to number about fifty sixty, ard
conceal themselves in the hammocks between the
Apaachicoa river and Tallahassee, until favora-
bic opportunity offers for them to commit such like
deeds.
This forms the fourth family which has been muir
dered in that vicinity since the 23d uimo and il is
time some steps were taken to prevent them in fu-
ture.

CHAPTER Hesitate Rights,

there was majority and miaoaity re-
