THE MANDARIN MASSACRE.

The St. Augustine News furnishes the follow
ing account Of the recent Indian Massacre, at
Mandarin:
On Friday last, Cor few days previously
party of II Indian warriors came into the neigh
borhood of the Mandarin settlement; which is
situated on the east bank of st. Johns, % miles
north of this city, and Is miles above Jackson
vile.
After accommodating the various plantations,
they on Monday afternoon caught a negro belong
ing to MIR. William Hartley, who was out SOUR
rel hunting, and at evening proceeding towards
the settlement for the purpose of plundering the
store, but as the negro told them there were ma
ny men in that direction, they turned back to the
Hartley neighborhood, which is near Julngton
creek, and aboutfor miles from the ST. Johns, and
from which they had seen the men depart, who
were gone on cunning party Of two days.
Approaching the house of William Hartley,
they putthe negro forward, and as he came to the
door, they fired three rifles, killing Mrs Hartley
and her child of year old, and Mr. Domingo
Accosta. A MIR. Mulphus, also in the house.
was shot-he ran for the pine barren, and there
died. The infant was killed by the ball which
killed the mother.
They then proceeded to the other plantations.
while the alarmed inhabitants managed to escape
from their houses, as though by a miracle The
houses of Nathaniel and George Hartley were
successfully visited, plundefed and burned, with
the outbuildings---then they returned to the house
OF William Hartley, which .hey also plundered
and fired; the bodies Of his wife and child and Of
Mr.. Accosta Were consumed.
The Indians still OBTAINING the negro as pri-
soner, next proceeded to adivlsion of the plumber
and money they had taken-tley remained about
the premises still towards morning, and then re-
tired.
The other inhabitants of Mandarin, when the
alarm reached them, were too fully employed,
each in placing his own family in safety, (many
were put on board schooner which lay at anchor
off the place,) to think of combinng for offensive
operations.

GEN. GAlNEs.-Rumors have gained circu-
iation through some of the papers that Major
Gen. Gaines had been arrested in Washington
for leavinghis command without orders. The
Independent thus notices it =
OF one who has done such honorable ser
vice as Gen. Gaines, and whose military mer-
its have always been adorned by high pri-
vate worth, it is fit that one speak with all pos
sible tenderness When rumor was rife here
not long ago, with tales of his disobedencc
of orders, his contumacy, his arrest, and even
the severity with which he had been treated,
we took pains to arrive at such facts as could
be depended on. The result is but this
Gen. Gaines did, I'VE believe, quithis command
impropery-not SO much because he did it
upon sort of contingent and constructive
leave, FROM the Secretary at War, which ought
not to have been so interpreted, as because it
was direct violation of duty to address an
application of this kind to the Secretary pass
ing over his superior officer, the Commander
in-Chicf. We have strong reason, too, to be-
iicve that he quilted his Division without as
signing the command Gas heshould have done)
to the next superior oiliccr-thus leaving his
Division withoutany military head. We have
ascertained thet-grave as these facts rendered
the case-he was treated with all possible con-
sideration, and an unsolicited leave of absence
rendered him, in the properest terms. To this
he replied, by an enumeration of ms services,
and an intiniation that, when he wanted leave
of absence, he would apply for it. Respect
for his high services, his advanced age, and for
certain fancies with which his mind is entirely
possessed, pointed out the only course that
could be taken with him, unless all idea of dis
cipline in the army was abandoned, and leave
of absence for him was made out, by the ex-
press instruction of the President himself
!, But we do not understand that leave to be per-
manent.
Though aware of these facts, we have for
borne to mention them, through considerations
that will easily be understood SO much of
the matter has now, however, become public,
thatit is useless any longerto withhold a simple
statement of the truth. We feel bound, at the
same time, to remark that in every view of the
official prophecies of his station, Gen Gaines
does what is exceedingly unfit, in going about
the country, featuring upon his plan of Ma
tional Defence Nor does it diminish the UNI
becomingncss of the thing, that his lady,
however charming eloquent, should hold
forth, after him, OH the opposite topic of the
Horrors ofWar. Regard for one of the high
est and most uncontamnatcd branches of the
public service. induces us to speak out, thus
far, upon the whole matter.

IT remained until the plants attained to the height
OF from one to two inches they were then trans

STATE OF THE PUBLIC CREDIT.

In a late discussion III the House of Repre-
sentatives on the Treasury Note Bill, it was
disclosed from official sources that no amount
could be obtained on the United States loan,
even should the time be extended to twelve
years; that the Government would have TO al
low seven per cent interest, in which case the
sum wantedmight be obtained. A letter from
wealthy firm in New Y DIRK advises, that ano-
Their issue OF Treasury Notes bear an interest
OF seven per cent as those now bearing an in
terest OF . per cent were at one per cent. dis
count. The letter closed with some melan-
choly reflections on the present state of Gov
,ernment credit, and gloomy forebodngs as to
It's future depression to still lower point, I'M
less speedy and efficient measures should be
adopted for its restoration

Capt. Harper:-I might in reply to ''The

but, unless made the application of the teri,
think the answer would want point. 1t is true
might convey TO some persons tho idea that he
had broken ono or all of the commandments-but
the charge, ifintended, would want the certainty

made without any color of support, no mode of
making it could prevent its recoiling upon me.
So much upon the superstition that have per-

sition, however, which, from his repeated protcs-
tations as to the pleasure and amusement which
my ''squib" afforded him, must be incorrect.
He does no! deny that he attended the meeting,

that my sketch Of it is not portrait.
Neither does he inform us how it happens that

notice of Democratic meeting. in such close con-
nerion with the acts of Congress.
All that is known with certainty is, that the
