More Murders in Florida.

l,y the steamer Gordon, Capt. Barlen,
we have received Savannah papers of yes.
terday; From the Daily Journal we copy
the following:
LATEST INDIAN NEws.-Wrlling Re-
Port--EIght Persons kiUed--Houses
kave k1tv tts following painful Intelligence from
the Peninsula:
News had just arrived at Capt. Ken
bricks post, of an attack by the Indians
on the settlers OH the Alafa, about thirty
miles east Of Tampa.
Four men, one woman and three children
were killed and scalped, their houses were
burnt, and all the outragcs and balbarities
that savages could invent were committed.
The Journal makes the subjoined remarks
on the above news:
INDIAN DIFFIcCLTIEs.-The reader is
referred to the above announcement of an
other Indian outrage. 1t consists Of the
murder OF four men, one woman and three
children, ut n settlement on the Alfalfa about
thirty miles cast of Tampa. The usual
Indian barbaritics, such rs scalping the slain
and burning their houses were perpetratcd
10y the savagrs. Our statement is derived
from all extra OF the Ocala companion dated
March f2th. The editors informant was
Col. Paine, who had just arrived from the
South with the intelligence "tbat while he
was stopping at the house Of Lieut.. Viii.
liams, on the Withlacooche, on Sunday
evening last, the gentleman, in company
with another, returned from the post at
Capt. Hendricks, bringing the report"
We are told that the Indians who per.
petrated these butcheries are supposed to be
the party who attacked Col. SHELLS house
near Manatee, and Murdered Mr.. Owen
Cunningham. as already published in this
paper. 1t would seem, says the Companion,
that most of the men from Alfalfa settlement
had gone to the protection of their more
exposed neighbors, believing their own fami-
lies comparatively safe.

| March 4th, 1856.
My DEAR SIR: I regret to see in the
Herald that you failed in the Convention
movcmen, in Laurens. must believe tha,
1t was because the people were uninformcd
OF the real issue, and because the opposi,
ton had their forces trained for the occa
sion.
1T seems to me that these two propositions
| ought to convince and control any man :
lst. That convention Of Democrats ariLl
assemble at Cincinnati; 2d. That South
Carolina will vote for the nominee of that
Convention.
These propositions no Sane man will
deny, and if they are truthful, it strikes me
as a suggestion of common sense that we
('cho are to take the nomincc at all cpeuts)
Should be present and contribute our infiu-
cncc to the selection Of the candidate Most
acceptable to lis.
;!.s 1Sps tho friends Of .hs Convention will
a meeting of the friends Of the Convention,
and urge in the call the importance Of
fuH turn out Of its friends.
The election or non-clection Of Demo
cratic Constitutional President, is to settle
the question of Union or Disunion. l be-
ieve that the principles of non-intervention,
popular sovereignty, (by which is meant the
right of people to determine in their
organic law when they make their State
Constitution and when authorized by Con-
grcss to do SOL States Rights and the doc
trine Of States Rights, as applicable to the
non intervention by Congress, on the sub
ject Of slavery. l believe these principles
will be established by tho success Of the
Democratic Party. If these principles are
established, then the slavery question is set
tied, and we can live in the Union and not
in dishonor. If we fail, rather than
exist in a Confedcracy rs an inferior am
ready Il to break it to pieces.
have written to you very hurricdly and
in the midst Of frequent Interruptions The
point wish to impress upon you is, that
! we have now an opportunity Of making this
Government for all future time Con-
stitutional Government, and feel it high
duty to contribute all our influence in this
noble struggle; and should we fail, that we
can enter into another contest with a con-
sciousness of having done. all that patriots
could to avoid an issue, which, as patriots,
we may have to make.
am very truly yours,
P.S. BRooKs.

Rather Tough.

The following story was told in Sandus
KY ONO, and appears in the Massilor
Ne'cs, which says:
a party Of young men in that ancient
city amuse their leisure moments at III,
hotels in drawing long-bow, or TELLING
wonderful yarns 10 each other for the bene
Mt OF those apparently vcrdant, who may
happen to come in from other parts. They
tried the effort Of few extraordinary vol,
stories upon venerable and sedate customer
not long since who had come to spend the
night at the best hotel, and he listened to
them with much apparent surprise and in
terest until their stock appeared to have
run out and the conversation tagged, when
he remarked that he had been much inter,
estcd in the news they had given him, rela-
tive to the primeval inhabitants of the
country; hut regarded an event in his early
life as more peculiar than any they had
named. Said he:
"Whcn young man, I was travelling in
Western New York, and late of a stormy
night applied at a log cabin for lodging.
Inc occupant, woman, refused it, saying
That her husband and SOILS were out hunting
and If they found me there, would murder
me. preferred the chance to the storm.
and She consented that I might lie down
before the fire. In the night heard them
coming and scrambled up the chimney.
"Thinking was saEa '-i~. 40 t'Io Top,
stepped over the roof, and, jumpin down atg
the back of the cabin, jumped plump into
a wolf trap: A scream Of pain brought
the man and the boys out, and they dcclar-
ed ] deserved moro severe punishment
than death, so they kept me both in the trap
and in uspcnse until morning, and then.
heading Inc up in hogshead, with no air
or light but through the bung hole, they
put me on sled and drove ne some four
miles up hill and there rolled me off to
starve. This undoubtedly should have
done but for very singular occurrence.
The wolves smeled me out and gathered
round my prison, when one Of them in
turning round happened to thrust his tail
into the bunghole. 1t was my only chance
l caught firm hold and held on like "grim
death to dead nigger," which frightened
the wolf, of course, and he started down the
hill, followed by hogshead and me. 1t was
very uneasy ride, over the stones and
stumps; but had no idea how long it was
until the hogshead striking stone fairly,
the slaves, worn by long travel, were broken
in, and jumped out to find myself away
down in the lower end of Cattaraugus coun-
ty, some thirty miles from the scene of the
disaster. Good night, gentlemen-I did
not express any doubt Of the truth of your
stories, and hope you will not of mine"
1t is currently reported that the "sell''
club of Sandusky has not had a full meet
ing since that occurred.

A LUCKY FELLow.-An old saying runs
something after the idea, that it is better to
be born lucky than rich. This is brought
forcibly to our mind by the good fortune Of
Col. Fremont. II is said that the final de-
cision Of the Supreme Court of tho United
States, confirming to the gallant Colonel
about seventy miles square Of the best gold
diggings in California, makes him, beyond
all comparison, the richest man in the
world Besides the gold, there are EN-.
braccd within the limits Of the grant sew
eral large towns and thriving villages. The
Col. has the patent in his pocket. The
claim was purchased Of the Mexican Gov
crnor Of California in .lS45 for $4,000, and
is now worth probably S3oo,ooo,Ooo. :"

Homicide on the South Carolina Rail
road.

We learn from passenger who arrived
in the city yesterday morning, that man
by the name of Thomas Sparks, was shot
at Landon's road, on the South Carolina
RailroadSth the evening before, and died in a
few minutes. The shot took effect upon
the side Of tlieEhead, and as the muzzle of
the gun was but few feet of, the wound
was frightful. The deed was perpetrated
by one Myer Bell. The parties had been
disputing for some time about dog, but
there was no evidence Of excitement until
the act was consummated. Sparks was A
native of North Carolina, but for some
time had been sepgaged in cutting wood at
Ladson's TurnsO Out, and was married to
the sister Of Bell. Bell, or one Of his bro
shers, had a trial in the Court of Common
Pleas to determine his status, and we be.
tlieve, the result was against him, but subse.
tquent proceedings were had to the same
end, with the results Of which we are, moi

The steame Florida arrived at Kew West
on the 7th, from New Orleans via Florida
ports, brings the following Intelligence,
which we take from the Key of the Gutf :
vol. d. V. SHELLS house, at Sara Sofa
was attacked by Indians on the Sd inst.
One of The Indians came on ahead and see
ing the black man on the outside, asked
INN 1t his name was Simon; he told him
it was; the Indian recognizing tho body as
an oid acquaintance, with whom he had
often drank liquor, told him to 60 or the
other Indians would kill him. They then
rushed into the house where Mr. Owen
Cunningham was in the act of kiudling
flre to cook dinner, and killed him and sci
tue house on fire. Col. Smell was COMING
from the field with his horse and cart. when
he saw the house on fire, and thinkmp it
might be Indians, he hid the horse and cart
In the palnettos, and crawled through the
bushes near enough to satisfy himself that
the flrc was no accident, and then left and
came into Manatee, distant eleven miles.
where lie found Simon. The Indians took
gun, rair OF blankets, and riAed the crib
OF the corn. The settlers around have all
come ir. to Manatce, and on the NIGHT Of
the murder and fire, took refuge on board
the schr. S. F. Bradford. The light house
keeper and assistants at Egmont Key be-
came alarmed and left; there were no lights
shown from the light house on the night of
the 4th inst. but they were returning to the
Key when the Florida passed out.
There are now five men missing from
Sara Sofa, they having been absent five days
without being heard from. Fears are enter.
tanned that they have been killed By the
Indians; company of nine men have left
Manatce in search of them"

From the True Carolinian.
Savannah Valley Railroad.
AUGUSTA, March 4, Is


to your editorial in the "True Carolinian,'
of the 2slh February, ult, headed "Savan-
nah Valley Railroad" 1t seems from your
remarks that my intentions, in the matter
OF the upper terminus Of the Savannah
Valley Railroad, are suspicioncl 10y the
stockholders Of Anderson. From whence
these suspcions come am not advised.
Nor IS 1t a matter Of moment to me, rs to
whence they may have originated. They
are without just foundation and am sur
prised that our stockholelors Of Anderson
should have suffered themselves to be iuflu-
enced to withdraw from such slight ru-
mors. So far from having any intention of
giving Anderson the go by in the upper
terminus of our Road, l have never con-
.tcmplated anything else than 10 build the
Road, as our charter conlemplatcs, from
Augusta TO Anderson, as near as possible,
Just as 1t has been located If Anderson
or any other point OIL the Road, shall not
be accommodated, it shall not be my fault
The folly of Anderson, as you justly OBJ
serve, may drive the Road from her. But
even this shall not he done, if I can pre-
: vent it, until this folly has become fixed
fact. No mere vague rumor Of their un-
friendly feelings towards me, or of their in
tention not to do their duty, in sustaining
our common enterprise, will influence me TO
entertain the idea of cutting Anderson of,
and substituting another upper terminus of
our Road. You may be assured of another
:fa' lat should the painful necessity arise
-" ~ change in our Road, on account Of
default on its part, I should not leave the
matter as point of conjecture, but in a
plain and straightforward manner, would
deal with it as honesty and good faith de-
mands. The money of no portion Of the
country not interested in the Road should
be taken from them, aoithout their consent,
TO build Road for the accommodation OF
/others.
Let Anderson md the other portions of
our Road do their :ac1,ole duty in this mat
ter, and notwithstanding the gloom and
embarrassment through which we have
passed, and may, still have to pass, I have
2an abiding faith that our Road will be
built, just as II has been located from Au-
gusta to Anderson. But to do this, our
people mustlay aside their petty contests
about local interests and their ready evi.
dence Of whispered suspicious against the
good faith Of those who manage the af
fairs of the Road. generous confidence
must be extended to those who labor 70,
-jtfhem. In lieu. Of these suspicious, and
= ssmall squabble aabout localinterests, let the
absorbing policy OF our people be, Whe
: .can do tie most, for our common cause
Y You may be we'll assured, that to build oul
Road, all our united efforts will be required
!, Hfs each man will do. lis duty in this work
F.fIiAl will have no time To list,.n to idle ru
