PRESBYTERIAN HIGH SCHOOL AT
SHENIARTAH

MEssRs. EpIroRs.--Many citizens of this and
neighboring counties, will be gratifed to know
that an excellent Classical and Mathematical
School has been successfully established at She
marian, under the auspices Of Lexington Presby
terry The School has now been in operation four
months. With several gentlemen and ladies' of
of the vicinity, attended the examination on last
Thursday and Friday. The pupils acquitted
themselves admirably. was much pleased with
their modest and respectful department.. This, !
learn, has been uniform, during the term. The
examination OF the Classical Scholars was espe-
cially gratifying. Seldom have seen young stu
dents, who appeared to be so well drilled in the
grammar and the mnuteness and accuracy of their
ledge would be creditable to scholars farther
advanced. Rev. Mr.. TRMBLE and lady possess
every qualification to ensure boarders in their fam
lily pleasant home, and he is admirably fitted by
moral virtues, as by intellectual training and abili-
ty, to make an uncommonly successful Teacher.
The retirement of the situation and the salubrity
of the climate, together with the very moderate
terms of Board and Tuition, (Sl00 per ten months)
commend this School to the patronage OF our citl-
zens. The supervision under which it is placed
is sufficient though not the only guarantee, that
the moral and literary education Of the Pupils will
be sound, thorough and liberal.

THE FLORIDA WAR.

FURTHER INDIAN OUTBREAKS.--A slip
from the Savannah Georgian, dated July %, has
the following information from Florida
By passengers on the Florida boat, arrived this
morning, 10 o'clock, we learn that further out
break OF the Indians was made at Charlott's Har-
Dor, on the Gulf coast, nearly simultaneous with
that on Indian Rver-so near that the expresses
from east and west met at Tampa.
The Indians, some fifteen or twenty in num-
Der, came in at the trading store at the mouth
of Pease Creek, at the head of Charlot's Harbor
and inquired for Mr.. Kennedy, the principal in
the establishment. He being absent, they killed
the clerk and another man, and wounded several
others, among then women-plundered the store
set fire to it and burned it to the ground They
then decamped with their plunder, and drove of
with them number of cattle.
No suspicious OF hostility were entertained by
the inhabitants, who were of course entirely un-
prepared for an attack, or for defence. An en-
press was sent to Tampa, and the officer in COM
mand Immediately dispatched one of the two
companies at that post to give protection to those
of the settlers in the neighborhood Of the depre-
dations There was not a sufficient available
force to pursue the Indians into their recesses.
The express from Tampa was sent by the citi
zens with dispatches for Washington, which met
the Florida steamer at Palatki. The frontier is
almost entirely deserted, as it is believed that
the Indians contemplate another desperate war
In both Instances al Indian River and Charlott's
Harbor, when the Indians first made their apr
pearance, they Were perfectly friendly, and re-
ceived the hospitality of the whites, which they
returned in the savage manner described,
The greatest alarm and confusion prevails a.
mong the frontier settlers, all of whom are a.
hardening their settlements and their crops and
fleeing for safety to places of security, leaving
their all in many instances to the mercies Of the
relentless savages.
We stated the number of the Indian warriors
in a former notice at two hundred and fifty. This
we believed full estimate, but we are now i'll
formed that at Tampa and Charlott's Harbor, the
estimate is much larger, from five to six hun
dred.
Mr.. Russell who was wounded in the arm at
Indian River by the Indians, has been obliged to
have the arm amputated.
Who can now doubt that we shall have another
Indian war. Doubtless the two attacks were by
concert, and although but few of the Indians at
either place made their appearance, yet circun1-
stances go to show that there We're others in re-
serve to assist in case of any resistance on the
part of the whites

BEWARE OF SARTAIN,S UNION MAGA
ZINE

AVehave for some days deferred acknowledge
ing the receipt of the August No. of Sartain's
Union Magazine, published in Philadelphia, and
we do so now, with feelings very different from
those which have heretofore influenced us. We
have hitherto spoken of this periodical IN terms
of commentator, but we now retract all that
we have said, and warn our tellow-cltizens OF
the South against it, as intoxicating doctrines, I'M
true and prejudicial in the highest degree to our
rights. and even our safety. 1t becomes us as
prudent men, to view with scrutiny, II not with
suspicion, the periodical literature with which
the North is now flooding US The number OF
this magazine OF which we are speaking, CON
.tains a tale entitled Roanoke or where is Uto-
pia,n which is continued from a previous num-
Der that escaped our observation. The hero oil
the tale, is sNNild Bill,n a runaway slave, who is
represented by hideous cut, and is made in
geniously to justify the many murders ne has
committed, and to defend principles as foul as
the blacklist abolition heart ever bred, or the
most poisonous tongue could utter. The author
of the tale is c. H. Wiley; should either he, the
editors, or proprietogs Of Sartain's Magazine,
place foot upon the South side of the Potomac,
they might reasonably expect to be dressed In
coat of tar and feathers and to dance twiXt heav-
en- and earth, with creased grape vine about
,aheir necks. Mrs C. M. kirkland, is one of the
editors, her sex would protect her from such
punishment. We would copsign her to stIence,
which, would be torment enough no doubt Let
,she South be wide awake, and beware how they
contribute their money to aid their enemies IN
.sscretly undermining their institutions -7Freds-

borious task of Mr. Polk, and his nnwearled ex-
ertions to meet the responsibilities of his station
with credit to himself and honor to the body over
which he presided:
"While Speaker in the House he had to bear
the brunt of the most violent and exciting oppos-
ton, in which was mingled feeling OF bitter
personal hostility. He had to contend against
men thoroughly masters of parliamentary law,
yet his decisions against their demands were uni
formly sustained by the House. His supporters
and opposers were alike astonished at the prompt
ness with which his opinions seemed to be form
ed. They did not know he frequently sat up the
whole night Studying the rules and ,precedents
applicable to the business of the next day have
been informed that on one occasion, after an
arduous sitting Of the House, continuance OF the
debate on the next day being expected, MIR;
Polk sat over his books, preparing for the ordeal
which he knew awaited him, until daylight, and
upon rising from his labor tainted and fell upon
