The death of the late DIR. Perrine, who lost
his life at the recent massacre at Indian Kew,
by the Florida Indians, is public loss. He
was formerly U. S. Consul at Campeachy,
and is justly pronounced by the: st. Angus
tine News as remarkable man. Distin-
guished for high classic and literary attain
ment, he had devoted years of his life with
great enthusiasm to, the study of botany
Eminently practical in the science, he sought
to enrich his country by the introduction of
eXotics, which would lessen her dependence,
upon foreign materials and create new
source OF investment and profit to her citi-
zens. To this end he bent every energy OF
his mind, and had selected the southern nor
ton of Florida as the spot most favorable for
an acclimating nursery. Had he been spar
ed TO carry out in the security of peace the
wishes so dear to his heart, Florida, and our
common country, would have hailed him a
public benefactor. The decree is otherwise.
Science is robbed of a bright ornament, and
social life Of the firm friend and kind parent
His volumihous and valued notes have ali
been lost; and with the martyrdom of Per
rlne have also persisted his labors. .
