You have no doubt heard of the

dians on the body; 06, son of a Mr.
Wilders, in the ear(y;pah of the last
month; and on the 18 J of the ssmc
month, a party ol Indians aitempted to
carry oT a parcel of Ntgroes, the pro
perty of a Mr. Williams, who were en
camped on the Florida side of the St,
Mary's river, opposite Temple ; they at
the same time fired across the river at
the family of Mr. Ashley, wounded One
of his Negroes, and another shot struck
the house very near, Mrs. Ashley Mr.
Ashley returned the fire, and grounded
one of the Indians In th'e le, who for
revenge' killed and scalped 4 mulatto
boy, (one of the number of the Negroes
which they had surprised) alleging that
he had white blood in him: they were
however so closely! pursued, being but
.three in number, that the Negroes es
caped, with the exieptkm of two, who
were drowned in the f'icmpt. Shortly
after this, they attacked" three Negroes
within a few hundred yards of. the gar
rison, at Trader's Hill ; killed one, and
carried civ another, since whicn, no
mischief has been done by the lavages,
except to the stock and provisions of
be most remote settlers, woo cad re

vating acts of the savages, the inhabit
ants (being uoablc to detect them with
in ouf own limits) had expressed a wish
o raise a party of volunteers,- with
view, to pursue and chastise them on
their own ground A day of rend ex
vous was appointed for the pin pose,
,wbtn it was found that the contempla
ted expedition could not be effected: for
the want of a sufficient number to in
jure success to such an enterprise
On the Uth Inst a detachment of
32 men from Col. Smhh't camp, rjnder
the command of Capt Williams, who
were tent to guard two waggons cm
ployed in conveying provisiomt to. the
camp, from the Block House tt Davis's

. M The public feeling: was in conse
quence wound up j fo such a pilch, that
a party of citizens boarded the vessel in
the stream at. night, and so -damaged the
cargo as to defeat the. voyage. On the
following day a town meeting was held,
when the Inhabitants, with the excep
tion of nine persons, entered into foced
and determined resolutions, to nod tip
to public scorn and e3ccration, any per
son or persons who thbuld be engaged,
directly or indirectly, in supplying the
rodity enemy itfi provisiods by which
they) may be enabled to; extend their
cruelties and banefaf infifuence. . fiut it
is to be lamented that there are a few
individuals to be found, who in degra
dation to the American character, would
wade thicugh the innocent blood of
their countrymen for the lucre cf gain.
Such men would not hesitate to haXard
reputation, yield the love of country,
and prostrate national honor ; nay, any,
thing held sacred by men of principle
and patriotism, for the paltry; acquisi
tion of a few cents in the price .of pro

nemy, who Batchr employs the vilts
species of troops, and hath excited the
ruthless savages to acta of hostilities
Already have their scalping knives been
stained with the innocent blood of our
citizens.
tl It if not to be supposed that men,
liviog among us, not only hostile to the
government, but deaf1 to the dictates of
humanity,; will be suffered to haye any
agency in the perpetration of misdeeds ;
those whp attempt it must look to the
consequences
