Jusr,cE TO THE INDiAxs.-Capt. Win
der of the first artillery, writes to the
Savannah Republican, denying that Billy
BowIegs has applied fer troops 10 keep
his tribe in subjecrien. He gives an IN
stance of kind feeling on the part OF the
Indian chieltain, which proves that he is
no, so black as he is painted BY The Florida
papers. A drummer boy went OFT from
For: Myers on hunting excursion, and
los, himself. After trying every means
to find the boy, without success Captain
Winder sent word TO the Indians that The
boy was lost. As soon as Billy heard o'
it. although his people were in the midst o
their planting, he told them TO STOP and &C
in search of the bov. They did SO, and
continued the search for eight days. when
they found him in most deplorsble con-
di,ion. They took him to ;heif wigwams'
carefully dressed his wounds, clothed him
and when he had sufficiently recovered
Billy Bowlegs vi him on his horse, and
brought him himself to the posi-, distance
Of four days travel. And all this without
the promise OF a reward

Money is a word, we are told by Cham
bers, derived from the temple Of Jupiter
M,uet., where metallic currency was
first struck by the ancients. Cash comes
from the French word caisse, Golfer Or
chest in which money is kept. And peeu-
,i,ry is derived from pecus, the Latin for
a aock or herd Of animals, these being, in
the earlier ages, the equivalents for money

Diab0NCal Act.

Oae of the most atrocious acts which
we have heard Of for many years, was
perpe,rated in The borough Of Petersburg.
in Ibis county on Monday night. We are
informed, that the citizens Of this placa
were aroused from their slumbers. at
about /! o'clock at night, by the report
Of tremendous explosion. On examica
ton, il was ascer,ained to have come from
the house belonging to the heirs OF Jacob
Ke,ser, deceased, and occupied partly by
the widow of said deceased. and partly by
Messrs. Kinlcr e. Sponsler as store
room.
We are informed that about two months
since. two kegs of gunpowder we're stolen
from the warehouse Of the store, and that
on last Sunday night, whilst three young
ladies' were quietly reposins in their SUM
hers, in the apartment occupied ty Mrs.
Keiser. some vile, diaholical wre,ches en-
tered the cellar under the store room. and
there placed sufficient quantity OF powder

powder expoded, literally blowing Up and
destroying The building. store goods and
furniture. Fortunate it is Tor the three
Young ladies', who were the only inmates
a, the time, that they we're not in the end
of The house under which the powder was
placed, and by the most miraculous cir

TIE kArFIRs These people, who have
for some time been engaged in war with
the forces of Great Britain, exhibit the
influence Of missionary labor among them
even in their encampments. Mr.. Laine
says, that in the Cafir camp, there is qul'e
a show of religion, and when visited by
ministers from Kat River, one Of them
was found preaching TO the people. Among
some who were understood 10 join the Cat
frs, there was one who remained behind,
and who on being questioned concerning
the cause, said they would not have him
because he was a bad man, and would
bring down on them the curse Of God.
They have less religious knowledge than
the Ilo,ren!o,s, bu, they are not unwilling
10 90 10 God in their affairs of war. Um-
leniene, their native adviser, exhorts The
people 10 look to God for strength, and
disclaims all power Of his own TO help
them. Now we somewhat question whether
the same religious example is exhibited by
the white forces who are attempting to
sul.Iusaie them. though The former are
called savage barbarians, and the latter
claim to be civilized Christians.

Hobbs Locks.-The triumph OF Eay
& Newelrs lock is complete. 1t is said
there is a grea, demand for the locks in
England, and that Mr.. Hobbs remains in
London as permanent agent Not only
has the lock been placed upon the vault
and doors of the Bank of Eng land, but
the British government are negotiating
with Mr.. Hobbs to have these locks put
on all the public vaults throughout Great
Britain. and furthermore, that of all the
locks exhibited at the Worlds Fair,
most, if not all, supposed to be invulnerl-
bic, this was the only one that was not
picked.
An English paper states that "Mr.
Hobbs was in Liverpool few days ago,
and picked the lock Of Mr.. VIM Browns
safe, by way Of experiment, in few
minutes" At meeting Of the Liverpool
architectural and Archaeological Society,
the Secretary stated, in reference to Mr..
Browns lock, that Mr.. Hobbs had not
intended to pick it, but that he had unln,
teutionally done SO while he held it IN
his hand.

A gambler named Williamson suffered
the penalties of Lynch Law at Hickman,
few days since, at the hands of the pass
engers of the steamer St. Paul. His
offence consisted in an attempt to plunde'
he of party of returned Californians, on
the passage from New Orleans to St.
Louis.
The boat stopT at Hickman, and the
passengers, then took the law into theil
own hands, and seizing their victim pro
s,eded to the woods tied him up to tree
and gave him sixty-sevea lashes on his
bare ba * and turned him loose. Every
blow brought the blood from the poor
wretch, whose screams could be heard
mile.
The man who was thus summarily deal'
with was tall, and genteely dressed, with

small piece had been taken off. This

On Friday evening at an early hour, a
boy named George Clay borne, between six
and seven years of age, who resided in the
rear Of house in John street near Spring
Garden st, in :!ac vicinity of Fairmount,
was shot while standing beside spooling
wheel holding light for his sister. The
ball took effect in his temple, and caused
his death about three o'clock ON Saturday
morning. The ball passed through the
front door, Just above the knob. The
weapon from which the ball must have
been discharged directly in front of the
house.
1t is thought it was fired from small
stable close to the house, or from range
of out houses in the rear of a block of hou-
scs farther off DIR. Hammell was called
in some time after the shocking affair oc-
cured, the family being under the impress
ion that the child had fallen in fit and
wounded himself against the spooling
wheel. The physician at once decided
that the wound was the result of gun or
a pistol shot.
The Coroner held an inquest OF 1he
body on Saturday and unable during the
investigation to ascertain from whence the
shot came or at whose hands the fatal
catastrophe ought to be charged, the yer
dict was therefore in accordance with the
facts as far as known.-Ihtiad Le1yer

Aunt Patty continued with us for several
weeks. Her lawsuit was at length gained, and
she returned to Lingua.rille, her "dear James"
and scarcely less dear DR.. I.artigue. BY aletter
received from her shortly thereafter, We learned
that said Doctor and his lady were very patterns
of married lifc-that the once scandalized man
had made one of the best and noblest of hus-
bands-that his little wife was as entirely devoted
to him as he was to hcr-and that, in short, they
were enjoying the very essence Of connubial
bliss. And, we doubt not, they are enjoying the
same on this very 9th of February, 1852.

Tile South Carolina RAILROAD
and the Augusta Bridge.

Attention is called to the advertisement of
The Agent of the South Carolina Railroad
Company in this days paper, in reference to
the delivery of goods at Augusta. 1t will
be perceived that there is no change of rates
in consequence of recent events.
The circumstances which called forth this
announcement ought to be explained. In
the year 1850 The Legislature of South Car
olina conferred on Henry Shultz of Ham
burg, the right to levy tolls on the passage
across the Savannah river-thc charter be-
fore granted under which the city of Angus
ia claimed that right, having expired. No
attempt was ever made to enforce this right
till recently, when Gen. Jones and J. ]. Ken
nedy. the assignccs and administrators of Mr..
Shultz, revived the right and have erected a
toll gate near the bridge and established a
tariff Of tolls, with the consent of the Town
Council of Hamburg. This proceeding has
produced much excitement in Augusta, and
ut called Meeting of Council the following
proceedings took place.
FEBRUARY Sd, lS52.-Mr. Harper intro
duced the following Preamble and Rcsolu-
tions, which were passed.
The City Council Of Augusta have been
informed, on credible authority, that certain
individuals have, with the consent of the
Town Council of Hamburg, erected a Toll
house and put up 4 gate in one of the streets
of that town, near tile Augusta Bridge, for
the purpose of enforcing, under the provision
of charter granted by the State Of South
Carolina to Henry Shultz, the collection of
what is called Toll, for passing said Bridge.
which is not the property Of the parties
about to attempt to collect said contribution,
but belougIo the cityt Of Augusta. There.
