ST. AUGUSTINE, June IL.
The Indians who committed the out.
RACES in this neighboi hood fortnight ago,
and surrounded the dwellings at North
River, proceeded to the settlement Of
Mandarin, and were reconnoiteriong about
there when their signs were discovered.
A party OF gentlemen Immediately started
in pursuit., and came upon five of the ras.
Gals. They took 10 high grass pond,
and as the party were TOO small to sur
round it, the grass was fred, when the
fellows escaped under the smoke. Their
tracks were numerous in and. around the
settlement.-Neps. =,
INDIAN NEws.-Opr excellent cores
pondents at Black Creek, have put US in
possession Of intelligence from Fort King
to the 9Th inst, GA. NJ, which we give as
follows:
'Onlast Sunday week Col. Riley ran down
an Indian in the Pine Woods nearahe With
lachoochee; a day or two afterwards ne
surprised an Indian camp; oenaistng of
2 warriors, 2 squaws, and 4 children; they
killed the 2 warriors and squaw, and
took the rest prisoners. On Tuesday
night last one Of the Indians made his. es-
cape, owing to the sentinel going to sleep.
One Of the guard saw him running and
fired at him, which alarmed the whole
camp-,he other sentinels also fred
Capt. Mason was shot dead, either by
the InIians, or accidentally by his own
men-it is supposed that the latter was
the case. He was seen running after the
Indian, and it is impossible 10 ascertain
who killed him."
Capt. Mason, here mentioned, was 2
very respected inhabitant of Duval Coun-
ty, and was a member Of the House Of
Representatives in the last Council. He
has distinguished himself in the late wars,
and shared largely in the confidence Of
the public as useful citizen and an active
officer.
We learn further, that Col Harvey was
to have left Fort King for Fort Mellon,
on the 10th. ~
Capt. Bonneville had gone on a scout
of 20 days, and taken Indian Tom with
him. Tom was TO be sent out TO bring in
the Indians, but doubts are expressed
whether he ever returns.
We see from the above, that. something
is doing in the interior. Keep up, con-
slant scouts and success will follow. Sue.
cessful Indian fighting is an employment
of unremitting activity, watchfalness and
peril.-Herdld. -

How TO HAVE A SHARP RAzoR.-Take a
strap Of thick harness leather, the size you
want for strap, and fasten it at each end
npon piece of wood, then rub upon the
surface piece of tin, (any tin dish will
do) until it is smooth. Strap your razor
upon it, and you will find it worth all the
patent straps ever invented.

Mofat's $ Life Pills.

THESE medicines are indebted for
their name 10 their manifest and sensible
action in purifying the springs and chan
nels of life, and enduing them with re-
newed tone and vigor. In many hundred
certified cases which have been made pub.
lie, and in almost every species of disease
TO which: the human frame is liable, tho
happy effects of MOFFAT'S LIFE
PILLS AND PHENIX BITTERS have
been gratefully and publicly acknowledg-
ed by the persons benefited, and who
were previously -unacquainted with the
beautifully philosophical principles upon
which they are compounded, and upon
which they consequently act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend
themselves in diseases of every descrip.
ton. Their first operation is to loosen
from the coat. Of the stomach and bowels,
the various impurities and crudities con-
stantly settling around them; and ~ re-
move the hardened feces which collect in
the convolution of The small intestines.
Other medicines only partially cleanse
these, and leave such collected masses be.
hind as TO produce >habitual costiveness,
with all its train Of evils, or sudden diar-
rhea, with its imminent dangers. This.
fact is we'll known TO all regular anatt,..
mists, who examine the human. bowels
after death and hence the prejudice Of
these well informed men against quick
medicines, or medicines prepared and he
ralded TO the public by ignorant persons.
The second effect of the Life Medicines is
to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder,
and by this means, the liver and the lungs,
the 'heslthful action of which entirely de-
pends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red
color from the agency of the liver and the
lungs before il passes into the heart; be-
ing thus purified by them, and nourished
by food coming from a clean stomach,
courses freely through the veins, renews
every part Of the system, and triumphantly
mounts the banner Of healthin the bloom
ing cheek.

"L.ll that Mr.. Moffas requires of his pa

their horses to them on their return march

rather have made them pack horses on

The whole detachment consisted Of two

one hundred on foot. Col. Bailey and his

Dr.. DAVID HwEs.-We copy from the New Or
leans Sun, brief biography of this celebrated vii
lain. Although many of his deprcdations must ne
cessarily have been omitted, yet enough is given to
show how unscrpulous rogue he is, and how
wide was the field upon which he operated There
is scarcely any portion of the country which he has
not visited, and he has uniformly swndled every man
who has put it in his power to do SO. Some Of our
own citizens will remember his soourn in this town,
some two years since, when he followed his vocation
on limited scale. The place was too small, howe
yer, for the operations of such genius, and he
left, not without some slight mementos in the way
of unpaid debts, that he had been with US. The
offence with which he is now charged, and Of which
there scarcely seems any prospect of his being ac-
quilted, will, it is likely, put period to his long
career of villainy

THE DEKALB RIFLE GUARDS.

A number of our public spirited young men, in
pursuance of call made through this paper, the
week previous, assembled at the Court House on
Saturday afternoon last for the purpose Of forming
Volunteer Rifle Company. A much larger num-
Der than is required by law, for the formation of
volunteer companies, promptly enrolled their names,
under the appellation of "THE DEKALs RIFLE
GUARDS" An election for officers was Immediately
held, which resulted in the choice of the following
named gentlemen; J. P. DICKINSON, Captain; Jos.
w. DoBy, First Lieutenant KEITHS. MoFFArr, Se-
cond Lieutenant; A. NJ KENNEDY, Ensign; w. b.
JOHNSTON, Orderly Sergeant.
The two first officers were unanimously elected.
After the election, the Captain returned the company
his thanks for the honor which they had conferred
upon him, and the confidence which they had thus
unanimously manifested. Capt. DICKINSON is quite
young man, and the address as a first effort,
is spoken of by all who heard it, as giving evidence
of fin taste, and of talent which promises future sue
cess as public speaker.
A cheap, but handsome uniform has been adop-
ted and the company trust will soon be regularly
organised, and amply equipped. We doubt not If
occasion shall require, but 1.-THE DeKalb Rifle
Guards" will nobly sustain the high character which
the District of Kershaw has made for herself BY the
with which she has, on oil occasions,
to the call of her country.
