fWaron 39 MACm- ucsvVan Evening;, Jan. 2, \821. - Another year has passed atvay, Once more we greet n New Year s Day: ' Tl,?| cliocrfdl day, when Friendships voice, Hids every gen'rous heart rejoice ; And with the social band renew The vows which erst from friendship grew. Let no-hasp spirit, dark and drear, Vo mean suspicion enter, here j No heartless hypocrite intrude, Nor Envy show his visage rude. Devoted to far other ends, The hour is consecrate to friends Let nought their hallow’d pence annoy, Nor interrupt their sacred joy.” Amid the general rejqicings and congratula- ms which tho arrival of a NEW YEAR is ilculatcd to call forth, we bog the indulgence mingling our voice, and uniting in thegener- chorus. Wo present to our patrons and ends, and tho public generally, the usual com- iments of the season, wishing them, individ- y and collectively, the enjoyment of thoso ssings they most need, and the fulfdment of e wishes they most desire. As tho Muse, c the generality of her sex, appears unpro- tious,and refuses her aid on this occasion, we c unable to tickle the cars of our readers with o soft jingling of rhyme, ortho silver sweet- !ss of poesy. But, as our wishes are not tho ss sincere, we hope they will not be the less ccptable, for being expressed in the sober nguage of prose. And, as happiness without mfort is impossible, we wish cvpry one a lantum sufficit of the ready, that never fuil- g friend in time of need. To the Planter, c wish plentiful crops and good prices;,to the Merchant and Tradesman, numerous and ompt customers; and to the Mechanic, plen- of work and punctual paymasters. To the ilitician, tve wish honesty and integrity. We ish a pleasant retirement to those going out 1 office ; and to (hose going in, wo wish a irit to profit by the errors of their prcddccs- rs, and a disposition tc exercise their power ith moderation. The fair have our warmest ishes—we wish them sweet looks and kind spositions, nnd husbands to those who need cm. Those much despised things, too, old ichcllors, possess pur sympathy—we wish icm philosophy to bear with the evils they ,ve not the prudence to avoid, nor the forti- idc to overcome. Though tho New Year docs not find us cn- cly free , from cares and afflictions, yet we :vc great cause for rejoicing and thankfulness, id should not be the less disposed to give it a arty welcome. “IVhat though misfortune o’er us lowers, Anti trouble comes in copious showers, And many u heart in sorrow mourns— * Tis a long lane that never turns.’ The times will change, the darkness fly, And sunbeams light a clearer sky, And to relieve the merchant’s sighs, Trade will grow brisk, and Cotton rise; The Banks unlock their iron doors, And once more lend their treasur’d stores, Relieve the merchant from Ills (pinking. And stop henceforth the trade ot breaking." Wo take this occcasion of returning our |nccro acknowledgements for tho very liberal acouragoment our labours have met with lace our establishment in this place. The ex- pnsion of patronage towards our Press has ex- Jcedcd our most sanguino anticipations, and pvesusno cause to complain of the liberality the community, I rom the very general prculation of the Telegraph throughout all he new counties,' Merchants, Sheriffs, Clerks Courts, &c. will find it an advantageous lodiura for their, advertisements, and the Edi* * |r respectfully solicits a share of their favors. I On Saturday night a' Fire broko out in ,ono the cabins owned by I»Ir.

At all events, wo hope we shall not have the same complaint to make that the North Caro linians uttered, after placing their rivers and immense sums of money iu the hands of the self same Civil Engineer that is to operate on ours,—viz. that he left them’in a less naviga ble state than lie found them.

Ho says that he has passed over a range of mountains and through ono of tho most extensive kingdoms of Africa, the very name of which was unknown to Euro peans. INDIAN AFFAIRS. . . St. Augustine, E. F. December 19- At length there is a crisis in our Indian af fairs, that 'calls loudly upon our government for interference and investigation. We have just received information from the sub-agent of Indian affairs, to the following effect: » . Florida Agency, December 12, 1825. ' Sir—Several murders havo been committed on tlio west side of tho Ocilla river Within a few days, supposed to be by the Micasuky In dians. ' Last Tuesday, hut a few hours after I pass ed the house of a Mr. Carr, on the road lead ing to Tallahassee from St. Augustine,-five wo men and children were murdered, thrown into thchousp, and all burned together. # A few days beforo this, two men of the name of Paris were killed in Thomas county; Geor gia, by a party of Indians accompanied by a chief called Old Billy—one of the Indians is said to have a defect in one eye. ' The first murder alluded to or mentioned is supposed to have been done by a party of young men of the Micasuky tribe—who have been out of their boundaries ever since tho first of July last. Captain Dado is at the ferry on Suwanee with his company of infantry, and will-make prisoners of all tlio Indians taken west of that river.” The immediate causes aro not yet known but wo have foresfcon, nnd have frequently Jiad such hints from persons acquainted with the Indian language and character, as to havo led us to the conclusion that all was not quiet with them; and that, at no remote period, their ven geance would fail upon somo innocent individ uals, to atono for that injustice of which they complain. They complain of tho non-fulfilment of the treaty of Camp Moultrie. In carrying into ef fect this treaty, the government havo been mu nificent, aud manifested a tender regard for tho Indians; and if this munificent hand has not coached them—if, while it was on its way to relievo their ijistrosscs, it melted away like tho snow beforo a summer’s sun, what respon sibility must rest upon thoso who havo had an agency in this business. Ip-- treating with the Indians, tho gavern- Jnt has in view tlicir concentration, ami the establishment of an influeiice among them, that would bo efficient in protecting tho white set tlements: an influence that would command respect nnd establish confidence between.them and tho official organ of the whites, would ef fectually do this. Indian agencies arc bloss- ings where they aro conducted upon principles of equity, justice and benevolence; but where thoso aro Torgotjen, mid a greater regard is paid to personal safety and personal comfort of the official agent, how can it be expected that the Indian wilt make any advances from a state of sayagisnd In connection with the ill judged management, of tho Indian department in Florida, v. o consider ^lte nbseneo of tho agent as one of tho#cuuscs of tho unhappy crosses that have been committed.by the Indians. This absence may be a matter of necessity, of which we know nothing, but until tho government compel tho agent to resido permanently within the Indian boundary; and until that agent feels V'mself and acts as the protector of their rights, and understands how to coticiliato tho human passions, it will be in vain that wo look for safety and security in the vicinity of their re servation. The timo has arrived when the government is culled upon to look into our Indian depart ment, Major Pierce, immediately upon the receipt of tho sub-agent’s letter, communicated with colonel Murray, (general Hernandez being out of town) and through him active measures have been taken; and every musket is held in re quisition for any emergency. Colonel Mur ray sent out an-express to the nation, which has not returned. Postscript.—\Vo havo just lejrnt from the mail carrier, that five Indians have been killed in Georgia, and three noar the Suwanoe.— The Indians, on the other side of that river, had appeared in their war dress. General Call and colonel Gadsden, with about fifty militia, had arrivod at the Suwannee to join tho United States’ troops. Captain Dade has succeeded in taking forty-eight prisoners with out bloodshed. Py an oxpress front the Su- wanec, wo have received the following letter to major Pearce: Fori Dural, Florida, December 14, 182G. “Dear Major—I arrived here on* the 24th ult. with my company, and have since. con structed a breastwork and block house for de fence, and have also erected comfortable quar ters. The object of this new post «is to re press Indian incursions and to keep them with in proper limits. This part of the country has been, for eight or ten days, in a state of great alarm, in consequence of the murder of a fami ly of five persons on the Ocilla river by a strag gling parly of Mackasuky Indians. General Call and colonel Gadsden have been, with some militia, in pursuit of the murderers, but, as yet, without success. I do not think that there is a general feeling of hostility on the part of theso unfortunate pooplc. I marched from this place on the 3d instant, with, twenty of the troops, Tuske-Hago, a friendly chief-of tho Upper Creeks, and ten of his*warriors, in search of a large party of straggling Indians; who were reported to .have been ponunitting depre dations among the inhabitants, twenty or thirty miles from me. About twelve o’clock, thir teen miles from this place I came in contact with seven. of their warriors, and succeeded in taking them prisoners -without bloodshed.— They wero painted, and their manner nnd conduct evinced p hostile disposition. I so- cured their guns, and detaining one as a host age, I permitted the others to go after their friends, who, they informed, were on their way to tho Old Town on this river. On the 4th they promised to join me, and did so agree able to promise. The whole number amount ed to 48, nnd were ordered to their limits on the Gtli instant. The governor has required more troops from Pensacola.” , On the lGth, general Hernandez issued an order to colonel Brcword, of the fourth regi ment of Florida militia, to detail two full com panies; or so many ns could bo armed and c- quipped; and to hold them in readiness for im mediate service. VV T o thank the officers of our militia for managing things thus promptly, and though things look a little squally, we bc- liovo that the arrangements arc sufficient to re pel any hostile aggression of the Indians. Legislative Council.—Tho council met on Monday, the 11th, and colonel Stone of Chi- pola was chosen president; George E. Tingle, chief clerk; and James Hughes, chief enrolling clerk. The governor’s message was to he communicated tho next day .—Florida Herald.
