FROM FLORIDA.

Through the Savannah Georgian We have adj
vices from St. Augustine to the Cd inst; including
later intelligence fram other parts of Florida.
Two hundred Indians we're said to be assem-
bled at Tampa, at the date of TIE latest advices,
ready for embarkation, and letters from the yari-
Gus posts reported that others were coming IN by
twos and threes, by tens and twentes. A hun.
dred had surrendered at Fort Clinch, previous to
! the 25th of January, and more were known, or
at least reported, to be on the way thithcr.
Col Harvey had reached the camp of Sam Jones
in his second expedition, but the redoubtable Sam
had evaporated, with bag and baggage, scrip and
crppage-waFriors, women and pappooses On
the way to the camp detached party of the ex-
petition had captured three Indians, losing one
man, Sergeant Seares.
On the 18th of Jan. party of Indians plumber
ed the cornGelds of planter about three miles
from St. Augustine. On the 18th, Henry Lind
say, Of Alaehua, shot, near the same place J;
| and on the evening of the same day, the house of
Mr.. Byrd, in the outskirts of NewmaIsville, Gun
occupied) was burnt to the ground.
The party of Indians that did all this mischief,
consisted of about dozen. They were pursued,
but without success.
The following is from the Savannah Georgian
of the Sd instant:
"About two weeks since a Wagon, owned by
Mr.. Turner, laden wtlrhdes and driven by
negro, was, ON the way from Fort Tarver to Black
Creek, attacked by party of Indians about five
miles from said fort The driver and five horses
were killed, and the Wagon and hides burnt"
Mr.. Turner had his horse shot under him when
he attempted to. make his escape. He was chas-
ed and oyertaken, when he fell upon his knees,
and while his head was raised they put pistol to
his head, fired and shot him in the ear, when he
fell senseless. They then stripped him and rob-
bed him of$15O in gold While these men were
engaged in plunderng him, The party at the wag-
on raised shout which induced the former to quit
Mr.. T. suddenly. Mr.. Turner afterwards walked
to Fort Tarver about five miles distant. The piss
tol it appears had nothing with the powder but
wad, the ball having fallen out in the pursuit
The Indians while pursuing him threw down their
rifles.
These Indians were tracked down toward the
camp, recently surprised by Col. Riley on the
south side of the Ocklawaha, which is protected
by Gen. Amistead, with safe guard

MONEY MATTERS. There can be no fears of u
suspension in New York or in the New England
States In New York the utmost confidence IS
felt in the ability of the Banks-in fact, it is said
on good authority, that the city Banks, were
never so strong as now. In the New England
States, the same remark will hold good.
At Philadelphia, all is yet confusion, although
efforts are daily made to restore confidence 1t
seems to be pretty certain that the Legislature
will legalize the suspension OF the Banks, with
the exceptions ofthe U. S. or Pennsylvania Bank,
the Girard and the Schuylkill Banks-these, by
general consent, appear to be doomed Tor hestrnc-
ton. Gov Porter, it is affirmed, will veto any
measure of relief, which includes or tavors the
U. S. Bank. The Banks of Maryland have sus-
uended, and those of Virginia, Delaware and
New Jersey virtually so. In relation to Stocks,
domestic and foreign exchange, we copy from the
New Yorker, as follows:
Stocks are all down, of course though the
latest sales we have heard of show an improve
ment U s. Bank Stock has been as low as "a
but has risen to 80. Most Bank Stocks are at n
disc ount-some OF them ruinously so-and those
of unfinished and some completed Railroads
hardly better We think this cannot last.
State Stocks are lower than ever. Indiana
Elves have been selling at,62 3; Illinois Skies
at 65 q this week. New York Fives as low as
95.

Nothing is more unjust than to judge of a man
by too shor, acquaintance, and too slight in
,specton; Cor it often happens that in the loose and
,houghtless, and dssipated there is secret radical
worth. which may shoot out by proper cultivation.
That the spark of heaven, though dimmed and oh
sttucted, is yet not extinguished but may, ny the
breath of counsel and exhoraton, be kindled into
fame. To imagine that every one who is not com
plsey good. is irrevocaby abandoned, ls to suppose
that al! are capable Of the same degree of excel
ience it IL indeed. to exact from all that perfection
which none can ever attain. And since the purest
virtue is consistent with vice, and the virtue OF
the greatest NUMBER with almost an equal proportion
of contrary qualities, let TOO hastily conclude
rihat all goodness is lost, though it may for time
be clouded and overwhelmed; for most minds are
the slaves of external circumstances, and conform
to any hand that undertakes to mould them, roll
down any torrent of custom in which they happen
TO be caught; or bend 10 any importantly that bears
hard against them

To the Editors Of the Mal-We have been in
quite an excitement here to-day, in consequence
of some astounding disclosures. The sum of the
story appears to be this, Asa Child, Esq late
Agent of the Rail Road Company, has turned
out defaulter to the company of upward of
S3S, 000!' | understand, however, that his
friends have paid the deficit to the Company, in
order to save him from disgrace. But their sup
port came to late although itsaves the Rail Road
harmless, and places it in funds which it did not
expect.
1t has come ont in the course of the ipvestga-
ton that Mr. C. committed no less than eight for
geries in order to carry on his game of embezzle-
ment-and that he perjured himself four times
before your legislature, in order to obtain the
grant of Ss4OO, 900 to aid the Railroad.
Thus has man who stood high in the esteem
Of the public, and was considered one OF the
highest ornaments to the bar OF New London
County, fallen like Lucifer to rise no more.

C. G. Snowden, of Freepor was sent for
thread being attached to the needle, of about FIVE
inches in length, thrown into the mouth in the
act of vomiting; this was seized upon and another
thread tied to It, when DR. Snowden suggested that
if an instrument was carried down to the head Of

it could have room to make somerset and then
withdraw the whole.

WASHINGTON, Feb 9.
GEN HARRISON AT WASHINGTON.
General Harrison arrived in this city about half
past ii o'clock this morning He was welcomed
by thousands and thousands of the people of the
District and strangers in the city The Railroad
Depot was thronged in all directions and the wet
weather with heavy fall of snow, damped the
ardor of none who were present. There were
two bands of music which joined in the process
sion, but the shouts of the multitude drowned the
marshal airs of the players. Pennsylvania Ave
nue. was lined with people, while from the win
dows above beautiful faces were seen, welcoming
first with smiles and then with the waving of
flags and handkerchiefs. The approach of the
cars was announced by the firing of cannon, and
upon their arrival procession was formed, CON-
posed of the Tippecanoe Clubs of the city, and
crowds of citizens.
The procession marched from the Depot to the
City Hall, accompanied by thousands of the peo-
pie.
| was unable to hear the services of welcome
at the city Hail. General Harrison spoke but five
minutes, and very appropriately, in answer to the
speech of welcome extended to him by the Mayor
of the city.
General Harrison has taken up his quarters at
Gadsby's Hotel. lie will remain but a few days
in the city.
The Dover IN. H. Gazette contains the fol-
lowing case which occurred in the New Hamp-
shire Common Pleas Court, at the January term.
WILD LAND CASE.
The first case called this marring was that of
Daniel Burnham VS.. William Palmer. This ac-
ton was note for about twelve hundred dol
lars heisience to the note was that it was CIV
en- for Eastern land, the value of which was
greatly msrepresented to the defendant. Itap-
peared in evidence that the Plaintiff was interest
ed with others in one half of Township in Pc
nobscot County in the State of Maine. That the
Defendant and others wishing to purchase lands
there, sent on an agent to explore the lands be-
fore purchasing. Burnham recommended the
agent to one Webster, who he said would go on
the land with him. This agent was induced by
the statements ofWebster to recommend to Pal
mer and'the others interested with him, to pur-
chase the land at five dollars an acre, which they
did and this note was given in part payment for
the land which turned out not to be worth half as
much as given for it,
The case submitted without argument cn
either side. The charge of Judge Parker to the
Jury is what we cslt good, sound wholesome law.
1t simply this That if the Jury believed
that the agent of Palmer sent to Webster by
the Plaintiff for information concerning the land
and that Palmer nor his agent had no means of
knowing that Webster was an owner, and by
Webster's statements they were induced to pur-
chase the land, that it fraud upon the De-
PENDANT and he was not bound to pay the note..-
The Jury retired and in few minutes brought in
a verdict for the Defendant. This is an impor-
tant for ii decides the fate of many other &C
tons brought on similar notes.
