By reference to the Harrisburg news in anoth-
er column, it will be seen that something has AT
last been done by the Legislature, towards reliev-
ing the community from the embarrassment, con-
sequent upon the late suspension Of the Banks.
Mr. Hinchman, Chairman of the Committee on
Banks, has reported bill, suspending the penalty
against the Banks, until the 18th of May lS43, and
authorizing the issue of small notes. to the amount
of per cent. of the capital stock paid in. The
people have suffered so much, that we have no
doubt they will take it for granted, that the men,
bers are all very smart fellows and eloquent speak
ers if they will only do more and talk less. 1t is
no doubt very pleasant for Physician who is call
cd 10 visit patient, to inform those who pres
ent what is the nature of the disease, and what his
experience, &c. &c, but at the same time it af-
fords no relief to him, to relieve whom he was
sent for

Incidents of the War.
chusetts

The St. Augustine News thus describes a
duel, or single combat, which took place in one
of the recent successful invasions of the ever
glades-that made under the command of Ma
jor Childs.
When the Indians were surprised in their
fishing operations by the troops, those who es-
capped immediate capture or death made off in
various directions in their boats. Most ofthem
were taken in the pursuit by the troops. One
yawl boat containing warriors, squaws and
two children, was chased by 1t. Taylor, two
privates, and the sergeant. When they had
got within rifle shot of the Indians, their boat
got aground. They all jumped out to pull the
boat into deep waller, and in doing so, got so
suddenly beyond their depth, that they were
completely immersed--arms and ALL The SER
geant was the only one who escaped immersion.
The Indians now fired upon them from their
boat, but without effect. The sergeant return
ed it and ole of the warriors was seen 10 fall
back in the boat He then threw down his RI
fe, and, armed with bowie knife, he started
alone in pursuit of the Indian boat. He ran,
and swan, and waded, as circumstances de-
manded, I'LL he got his hand on the enemys
boat. A desperate struggle now ensued be-
tween the Indian and the lrishman. They
were both powerful men, and were not inter-
rupted in their duel, for one of the other two
warriors jumped out OF the boat and made his
escape soon as the sergean, approached, and
The other was TOO badly wounded to fight. The
squaws remained passive spectators of the bat
lie. 1t was short and decisive. The Indian
had no weapon but his rifle, and that was of no
great use at short quarters. His object at first
was 10 beat out his adversary's brains, but find
ing that impracticabe, his next aim was TO pre-
vent the enemy from boarding him, IN which
he succeeded FOR short time. But as soon as
the white man go, footing in Tho boat, his
bowie knife soone ended the struggle. Ii passed
three times into the breast OF the savage. The
