Attack upon Micanopy by the
Indians. An Express arrived in
town last night, from Micanopy,
with the intelligence that that
place had been attacked on the
Sthinst. by 150 to 200 Indians.
The attack look place at noon.
Major lleileman, who had just ar
rived there a few hours previous,
with a part of two companies, had
sent an express, to Oakland.
M'IntoshY who shortly after
wards returned stating that he had
seen a large number of Indians on
the road advancing on towards
Micanopy. Soon after they came
up, and commenced firing at the
Fort a long distance off. Major
Heileman, with a part ofCapt.
Landrum's and Capt. Drane's
companies, with a piece of artille
ry, and a few dragoons amounting
in all to.about 75 men sallied out,
and attacked them in front with
the Artillery, and on both flanks,
with the other troops and succeed

action of an hour and a half.
The loss on our side, 5 wounded;
among the latter one officer Lt.

carrying off their dead and woun

rertained. The above are all the
particulars we have been able to
procure. An express is hourly
expected from Micanopy, which
will bring some further informa
tion from that quarter. The post
at Oakland has been ordered to
be abandoned immediately.
TEXAS.
From the jVtw Orleans Bulletin of
the 1th.
Extract of a lettter to a Mer
chant of this cit', dated Metamo
ras, May22d, 1836. Our com
merce has been gradually on the
decline, and rather flat, ever since
your departure from this country,
and appearmgly but little prospect
of imnrovetnent. to which we mnv
milted. If every hair of the ty
anl's head possessed a soul, they
all should be made to suffer death.
After the murders at La Bahia bv
his order, Gen. Urrea who was
victorious there and very far from
k:., r.w.r... ."...r..,..i .
beinr? a ee mr man. relusctl to
the balance of the army when so
good an opportunity offered? He
will yet have the work which
could have been prevented at this
lime to go over, and if so I hope
those who have been so luke
warm, to avenge the death of their
fellow sufferers, may be the first to
fall into the Mexican's hands.
They will then see and learn,
what it is to treat people with
kindness and hospitality. What
wou Id have been Houston's fate
had he fallen into the hands of
Santa Anna? would he had mercy
shewn him? he would have been
burned alive as many were at La
Uahia. Do they expect always
to gull people of the United Slates
by calling for aid and assistance in
supplying money to be put to
death like dogs for their creduli
ty? Does he (Houston.) expect
10 purcnase the freedom of Texas
by Ins kind treatment to those in
sensible beings? If so he is much
mistaken. Look at the inveteracy
against all foreigners and more es
pecially the Mexicans. If he had
adopted the measures of our pris
oners the business this time would
have been completed and Texas
obtained at once what she wished.
I tell you these people are deter
mined to go into it stronger
than ever, and are already rais
ing recruits. They learn and see
with what kindness they are treat
ed, this inspires them with more
energy to try it over.
Many of the officers w ould not
return who have experienced ome
hardship, but others looking for
promotion would. Centra! Ses
ma has returned, and is here on
his way to Mexico, he is appointed
Secretary of War; Urea and Gar
ry are supposed to be at La Bahia,
on their way to this place, Gen.
Filasola is at the Nueces, 011 his
retreat to Monterey. That place
to be his head quarters, until he
receives his advices from the gen
eral government. Soldiers and
officers are coming daily, appa
rently worn out with fatigue and
hunger, and hide themselves with
shame. On their arrival no firing
of rockets, 110 r juicing with bells,
no balls given, no pomp and pa
rade with escorts into the city,
they sneak into town after night
in as secluded a manner a3 possi
ble's if ashamed of w hat they
have committed. Gen. Rameirez
Sesmars visit here was to avoid
repassing through the towns he
had march before, like one of
the "Egyptian plagues." Ru
bico Blanquea con las r.itimasno
licicias. It is a pity that Santa
Anna's saddle w hich is shown in
New Orleans, is not accompanied
by Gen. Urrea's war axe. It is
well known when he left this place
he had a battle axe hung at his
shoulder, and that his words were,
that his sword was to fight with
gentles, but for the brute Ameri-i
cans his axe was good enough.
From Liberia. The Liberia
Herald of the 15lh of April has
been received by the editors of
the New York Commercial and
Lst.
The brig Lima arrived at the
colony with 82 emigrants on the
12th of April all well and in
good spirits. No deaths on the
passage, but on the contrary two
births.
The contents of this'paper are
of the most cheering and encour
aging description, and cannot fail
to stimulate the friends of the
cause to renewed, and redoubled
efforts. They show that the great
experiment is successful, and that
colonization does indeed offer a
home, and prosperity, and happi
ness to the helot African.
A town belonging to the Doy
tribe, under the command of King
Soft, in the neighborhood of the
colony, had been sacked and
burned and the inhabitants carried
off prisoners. The agent of the
colonv sought an interview with
Ynainby chief of the invaders, a
Mandingo of noble stature and in
telligent features, who according
ly came to Monrovia with an arm
ed escort of forty men. He en
tertained the colonists with a
tournament, in which he and his
companions, in their war dresses,
their faces streaked with white
paint, uttered hideous yells, and
leaped, grinned, bent and writhed,
"as though they wished lo get rid
of their bodies." Ynamby wore
short drawers, a shirt which Iefl
his arm bare, a cap of leopard
skin, with a cue 'reaching two
f thirds down his back, carried a
lance in on hand, and a horsetail,
the sign of command, in the other
He is said to be cruel to his pris
oners, sometimes murdering eight
or ten in the morning. He is in
the service of King Boson. He
objected to the Agent's proposal
to preserve peace with lhe Doy
tribe, alledging that war was
his only way to procure, women
and money. The Agent sent
James Brown and Charles Suet
ter with Ynamby to Boson, with a
present, to express his regret at the
disturbed state of the country, and
to demonstrate the advantages of
peace by affording free egress and
regress through the country.
One of the colonists of the name
of Davis had returned from an ex
cursion to the interior, where he
discovered a volcano due east
from Bo Poroh. It sent out1
flames and smoke. The natives
were much frichtened. and said
the devil had established his head
quarters there. It is thought that
lhe volcano is a new one, and that
it will cause the natives to emi
grate.
Marshall a new settlement on
the ocean, in a healthy and cool
situation, is prepared for the re-
ceptiou of emigrants.
A Banter. The Louisville Ci
ty Gazette contains a banter from
the owners of the new steam-boai
Benjamin Franklin: which had
just left that port for Cincinnati,
pr-jposing a oet ol iiO,UOU that
their boat cannot be surpassed in
speed by any other boat in the
W est, or that may come from the
East. In such a trial of speed,
which might perhaps very proper
ly be termed "killing," the "own
ers" should by all means be the
only persons on board either boat.
Baltimore Chronicle.
Suicide. Robert E. Boyer, of
the firm of Richardson, Donald &
Co. druggists, at New Brunswick,
committed suicide by shooting
himself through the breast. He
had been married but three weeks;
before marriage it was said he was
haunted with gloomy thoughts,
and had frequently spoken of com
mitting self-destruction.
A scene in Kentucky. Early
one morning the shouts and cries
of a female were heard; all ran
to the spot. When they arrived
ihey saw a bear and a man in com
bat. They had it hip and thigh,
up and down, over and under and
the man's wife standing by and
hollowing "Fair play! fair play."
The company ran up and insisted
on parting them. The woman
said "No, no, let them fight; for its
the first fight I ever saw, that I did
not care which whipped."
Shocking Accident. A shock
ing accident happened on the
Worcester Rail Road a day or
two ago. A poor fellow in at
tempting to jump from a train of
cars while in motion, fell across
the rail, and the engine passing
over his legs, cut them both off
just below the knee!
tt?The people of Jackson
county Missouri, tare sadly in fear
of another invasion from lhe Mor
monites. A letter from that re
gion states that there are now
about three thousand of those
"leaders ofZion'' settling in the
immediate vicinity. All being
armed with guus and other wea
pons. Important. We perceive by
our London papers, that the large
sleeves of ladies' dresses have gone
entirely out of fashion. The
sleeves are now small, and banded
in three or four places present

bouffants. This is important.
But the shdp'-keepers have been

Some time since, a man by the
name of G. K. Myers, opened an
office in the metropolis w hich was
to dry up the fountains of misery
and regulate the world. He was
lo pay the debts of the poor, ren
der the widows happy abolish
slavery, &. &c. He dealt in the
magnificent small debts were
nothing to him. A sum of 50,
000, or 10,000 he w as ready to
pay, but could wot be troubled
with trifles. He made all his
debts payable the last Friday in
May, and when the expectants
were waiting, lo and behold, Mr.
Myers cut his throat! The Bank
of the Metropolis, on which he
had condescended lo draw for
5550,000, refused the draft, and
in a moment of despair he sought
to kill himself! JV. Y. Jour. Com.
Affecting Incident. As the ca
nal boat the Pacifiic, was passing
down the canal near Huntingdon,
Penn. it came in contact with ano
ther boat passing in an opposite
direction, by which a young girl
named Sarah Hicks, about 14
years of age, was thrown into the
water. Ber brother, about IS,
immediately plunged in to her res
cue, but before he could reach
the bank of the canal, his strength
failed him and they boih sunk, the
sister locked in the arms of the
brother. The anxious mother
was a witness of the scene, which
deprived her of tw o children.

Lynchburg, (Va.) June 9.
William Oury, son of Augustus
Oury, Esq. the postmaster at Ab
ingdon, was a few days ago ar
rested and committed to prison,
on a charge of embezzling letters
from the post office, and robbing
them of their enclosures. The
culprit was detected by his father,
w ho accidentally found a purloin
ed draft in a pocket of one of his
vests. He immediately adopted
legal measures to have his son ar
rested. But so strongly were the
sympathies of the people of Ab
ingdon excited in behalf of the
aged father, who is one of the most
respectable citizens of that place,
that they permitted the vounrr
man, well mounted, to escane.
Seemingly, however, indifferent
to his fate, he travelled slowly and
carelessly, and was retaken. He
is about nineteen or twenty years
of age. Virginian.
Awful. The Watertown, (N.
Y.) Eagle states the dwelling
house of Mr. Daniel Goddard, of
Mannsvuie, in that county, was
totally destroyed bv fire on the
night of the 21st ult. and five of
his children perished in lhe flames.
Another child was badly burned,
but was expected to recover. The
children who perished, were from
two weeks 10 twelve years of age.
Beet Root Sugar. The agent
sent from the city of Philadelphia
to procure information in France
relative to the manufacture of the
Beet Root Sugar, writes as fol
lows: 'From 100 pounds of beet they
make six pounds of sugar, besides
eight pounds of molasses, with
which to make sugar of the second
quality, and 15 pounds cake,
sufficient lo keep 3 sheep a day.
Three years ago, there were

the people are getting fat on the
mutton and beef, made from the
cake of the root. What will ihis

CCfGov. Clay of Alabama, has
issued a Proclamation to the
Chiefs and Warriors of the Creek
tribe of the Indians, warning them
lhat the whole Creek tribe was
four years ago incorporated into
the State of Alabama, and that if
they make war on Alabama, they
will not be treated as open ene
mies, but will be liable to be hung
as traitors. In another Proclama
tion, addressed to the white set
tlers in the Creek Territory, he
informs them of the measures tak
en for their protection and urges
them to organize in their own de
fence. The Governor's head
quarters are to be at Montgomery.
The chief command is given to
Gen. Patterson, who has skill and
experience in Indian warfare.
Strange Dream and affecting
confirmation. The details of a
melancholy and strange affair,
we find in the Lynchburg Virgin
ian. A number of young ladies
were assembled at the house of
Mrs- Womack, residing in Bed
ford county. The meeting cf the
young females was naturally at
tended with the bouyancy of an
affected innocence, but the old
lady could not join in their youth
ful joys, the illusion of a horrid
dream rested upon her imagina
tion; thrice had the same vision
passed before Ikt sleeping eyes,
and at each lime a heavy calami
ty had fallen upon her. With
these feelings she retired to her
bed, vainly striving to solve the
fearful mystery, when a loud
shriek attended with tho. sharp
noise of a musket discharged, call
ed her to the room occupied by
her daughter and young visitors.
The first sight that met her eyes,
was the mangled form of her
daughter, about 13 years old, ly
ing on the floor and weltering in
her blood, hav ing been dreadfully
injured by the discharge of a gun,
which had been pointed and snap
ped at her by a companion, who
supposed it not to be loaded.
The gun had been , frequently
snapped during the day, and at
the time it went off was without
priming. This awful accident
should deter the incautious use of
fire arms, and shoe's the extreme
folly which is often indulged in,
of pointing arms of any kind a
gainst an individual. .
