TO THE DEMOCRACY OF CAM
BREA COUNTY.

FELLOW CITIZENS We Will not address you
on the merits of the various candidates for
Governor Canal Commissioner and State Judi
cial ticket, asthat matter has been well attended
to by the Journals of the country, and the
State Central Committee We know you are
sound on those questions, and will conclude
that their nomination and endorsement by u
State Convention is a sufficient guarantee for
your support. We will at once proceed to say
to you the existing necessity of united sup
port of the whole democratic nominations. 1t
is an incOntrovertible fact, that the whole dem
ocratic ticket was regularly and fairly nomina-
ted, by intelligent county convention, after
due, fair, timely and public notice for their ap-
pointment. 1t is equally incontrovertible, that
every man on that ticket has the leading char
acteristics of the Jeffersonian standard for
public Office, that is, honesty and capa6ility.
Then there is no true democrat can have any
reasonable excuse for not supporting each, and
every man of them, except the excuse of the
old song,

An incident occurred at the Key Bis
cayne lighthouse, during the Florida war,
which is perhaps, worth recording The
light house was kept by a man named
Thompson. His only cornpanldh was an
old nc gro man; they both lived in a small
hut near the lighthouse. One evening a.
bout dusk they discovered party Of soinc
fifteen or twenty Indians creeping upon
them, upon which they Immediately re
treated into Tie lighthouse, carrying with
them d kcg of gunpo"dcr, with the guns
and ammunition From the windows Of
the lighthouse Thompson fired upon them
several times, but the moment he would
show himself at n window, the glasses
would be instantly riddled by rife balls,
and he had no alternative but TO lie close.
The Indians meanwhile, getting out Of
patience. at not being able to force the door
which Thompson had secured, collected
piles Of wood, which being placed agairat
the door and set fire to, in process Of time
not only burnt through the door. but also
set fire I'd the stair case conducting TO the
lantern, into which Thompson and the me-
gro were compelled 20 retreat. From this
too they were finally driven by the en-
croaching flames and were forced outside
on the carpet wall, which was uct more
than three feet wide.
The flames now Began TO ascend as from
chimney soniG fifteen or twenty feet a.
bove the lighthouse. These Two men had
to lie in this situation some seventy feet az
bove the gro1Hd, with blazing furnace
roasting them on one side, and the Indians
on the other, embracing every occasion, as
soon as any part of the body was expos
ed, to pop at them. The negro incauii-
ously exposing himself, was killed. while
Thompson received several balls in lis
feet, WHICH he had projected beyond the
wall. Nearly roasted to death, in fit ot
desperation, Thompson seized the key Of
gunpowder. which he had still rteserved
to keep frriui the handsof theenemy. threw
it into the blaging Iight-hoiise, hoping to
end bis own suifcrings and destroy the
savagcs. In few ffibincnts II sxplodedi
but ihc aalIz were too strong TO be shaken,
and tho explosion took phcc out Of the
lighthouse as though it had bocn fired
from thelr gun.
The effect &c the concussioi was to
throw do~nfhe tlazing materials lslevel witb
the ground. 80 as ID proddco subsidenro q
