Correspondence of the Courier & ENQUIRER

NAsHlNGToN, lith June, lSiO,
A gentleman arrived here this afternoon from Flo
rda, bringing an account of another disaster to de-
tacInent OF our troops. 1t is probable YOU will
receive the information, and perhaps more in detail
before This letter reaches YOU but lest you should not
write.
My informant states that somewhere cast Of the
Suwanoe an American officer fell upon an Indian
trail and shortly after discovered fires in ham
mock. That he had sixty men under his command
That upon approaching the fires, he found himself in
great measure, surrounded.
The Indians fired upon and killed, during the Skin
msh which immediately commenced, eleven men.
and woundlng severely seven more. 1t is said the
commanding officer Of the detachment was among
the slain.
The gentleman who arrived here further reports,
that at the different posts in Florida the lrhie Rag
was flying, but for what purpose, or with what OBJ
Ject IN view, he was not able to ascertain. If this
rumor be true, it is highly probable that it has some
connection with the proposed negotiation through
certain Seminole chiefs residing in Alabama, such as
Mlcanope, Abram and others, These Indian nero
ftdtorS are TO act IN concert it is said, with Captains
Armstrong and Paige or one of them, to ascertain
whether peace cannot be made with the Scmnoles
in Florida and if it can, on what terms? Captains
Armstrong and Paige left this city days since for
the West.

CONVICTION AND SEVERE SENTENCE ron PERJURY
On Tuesday last, Martin T. Draper, one of the
firm of Draper & Davis, Worcester, was put on trial
for perjury, having sworn, in aprosccuon brought
by him against Samuel A. Way, of this city, whom
he charged with having obtained 5000 dollars from
him, in the consummaton of n conspiracy to cheat
the Boston creditors OF Draper x DAVIS, and that this
money! after one or two demands had been settled,
was to be divided between Draper Davis, and Way.
On Monday night the case was committed to the
jury who agreed upon verdict OF gully III less than
half an hour and sealed it up. Yesterday morning,
at quarter after five, this verdict rendered in
court and Draper sentenced to five days solitary,
and fire years hard labor in the State Prison. His
partner James Davis, was witness against him,
and disclosed all the schemes Of the firm to cheat their
creditors and falsely impcate Mr.. Way, as con-
sprator against them. This verdict cuts up root and
branch of the prosecution got up against Mr. Way by

horrible piece of intelligence than that which follows
we believe we have never laid before our readers
certainly more horrd outrage was never committed
in our country Such wholesale slaughter of hui
man beings-such an nhuman and bloody transac-
ton must appa every one-slckcn the heart OF the

petrator or perpetrators for no offence could prompt
to such an act 1t must have been either the fend-
sh workings of heart black as the "Prince of Dark
ness himself or of the most damnablc engine of
crime and misery alcohol.
We are indebted TO the pollteness Of Mr. Ritter for
the particulars of the transaction, who received them
in letter from gentleman in Huntington; they are
set forth as follows:
"a horrid scene was enacted in Hill Valley in this
county, on Saturday evening last. The wife of Mr.
Brown and five of his children were murdered The
wife and one son were found in the houscthe wife
throat cut from to ear, and the son shot through
the body; at some distance from the house was
found two other Children of them shot and the 9TH
cr killed with club some other instrument; and
in another direction in the wood, the two others were
found, one shot and the other was killed with club.
Mr. Brown has been arrested also, M'Conaby, his som
n-law, and NJ Conaby's brother. Brown denies, says
he was from home and on his return found the door
of his house fastened; whilst standing there he was
shot at and narrowly missed; another gun was dis
charged, which orazed his check and perforated the
lower part of his and passed through his hat
This hear, is the story. The MConaby's, it is said,
tells contradictory stores. To-day these three men
are undergoing an examination before justice in
Shirlevsburgh, and Witnesses are being examined
