lice court on charge OF vagrancy the examination Of

THE LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 2, 1853

By the steamer Carolina, just arrived from
East Florida, we learn that The rumored massa-
ere of General Hopkins, Colonel Hart, Major
Barrett, and the force under their command, is
without foundation, those officers not having as
yet proceeded to the Seminole country; although
in the possession of orders from the Governor to
proceed at the earliest practicable period. Much
anxiety was felt on hearing the painful rumor of
the butchery OF the gallant Florida officers and
sodiers, by their numerous friends in this city,
which was doubtless partaken of to some extent
by the numerous friends and aequaintances of one
OF these officers, formerly resident. as learn, of
your State am, therefore, happy to have it in
my power to relieve ths anxiety that must have
been feIt with regard to the rumored massacre.
We furthermore learn, that Major Johnson,
who has been elected by the Legislature OF Flor
ida iron party considerations to supersede the
gallant General Hopkins refuses to be commits
stoned. ii. w. c.

ACCIDENT ON THE CENTRAL RAILROAD
we regret to learn that the mail train over this
road yesterday passed over and hol riby crushed
the legs of an old negro man, who had, whilst
in'oSicatea' lain down on the side of the track,
near Charlottesville. AS his head was lying in
ditch and his legs one of the rails. he
was not observed by the engineer until the train
had passed over his limbs. When the cars left,
he was still alive, but no hopes of his life were
entertained.
