From the Charleston Courier. SECOND EXPEDITION OF COL. HARNEY IX THE EVERGLADES FLORIDA. The following letter from a gentleman in Florida, to his friends in this city, dated Tam pa Lay, March 10, comprises a journal ol Col. Harney’s latest expedition to the Ever glades, in pursuit of bam Jones, and is furn ished by an officer, who accompanied Col. H It will show the great enterprise and etidu ranee that are requisite on the part of those who exert themselves in the piolracted and extraordinary contest with the savages ot Florida. On the first of January, 1841, Lieut. Col. W. S. Harney, started a secon 1 time tor the Everglades, with a Ibrce of 20 dragoons, 70 3d artillery, with four officers of the line, and 140 marines and sailors under the command of Capt. M’Laughlin and the officers ol t lie Flirt, Wave, and Ostega, U. S. Schooners. W ith the exception of four or five canoes, car-! rying from six to ten men each, the force was distributed in small canoes made expressly lor the purposeand carrying five meneach. The orders of the day directed that each- man should be provided with twenty days’ rations, sixty rounds of ball cartridge, and the neces siry blankets, &c. The most perfect silence to be preserved by every one; orders to be communicatad by signal whistles, with which the officers were supplied; the boats when moving in single file, open order, to he kept twenty paces apart, and every man ready to drop his paddle and seize his musket at a mo ment’s notice. The dragoons were armed with Colt’s repeating rifle, and, being under the command of Col. A. formed a well tried band of experienced Indian fighters. Halfan hour after sun set, and during a shower of rain, the command left Fort Dallas, which is situated on the Bay at the mouth of the In dian river, eight miles above Key Biscayne ; Col. H. in advance, with Mico as guide, and negro John as interpreter, the arinv next, and the navy in the rear. After passing up the Bay seven miles, we entered the mouth of Little river, a tortuous.and extremely rapid outlet from the Everglades, and struggled a gainst the current until after midnight, when we reached our first resting p ace, tiie site of an old plantation, and 1 tided. Jan 2. The guide says tha : by not star ting from here unti 1 towards evening, we will reach Chitto-tustenuggee’s Island, an hour or two before day-break, to morrow ; wd the re fore remained as we were, as much as possi ble concealed in the grass and thickets, until four P. M. when vve again started, but in re versed order; the Colonel in advance, the navy next, and the army in the rear. It may be as well to mention here, that throughout the expedition, the army and navy alternated in order of precedence, the Colonel, however, always at the head of the column ! After passing up a few miles of very svvilt rapids, we entered the everglades at sunset, and skirting along a projecting elbow of the Pine Barren for two miles, lay concealed behind the point of it, until it was quite dark. We then moved forward swiftly and noiselessly, at one time following the course of serpentine channels, opening out occasionally into beau* titul lagoons, at another, forcing our way througli harriers of tall saw grass. Alter several hours hard paddling, we came in sight of Chitto’s Island, and the signal was passed “to close up.” Approaching cautious ly, we took our positions around the Island, and lav in anxious expectation ot the signal, “move up and eflect a landing.” An advance guard haviig been sent in 10 reconnoitre, al- ter some time reported that the enemy had l it the Inland, and in a tone of biller disap pointment, the Colonel gave the word, “move lip and land, the Indians have escaped.” January 3. Chilto tustenugge’s or Snake \\ urriorslsland is a most beautiful .-pot, con taining from 18 to 20 acres ; the soil is ex tremely iic.ii and about two feel deep, lying on ro,leu limestone. The centre is cleared, but the eiicumfernnce is well probc ed ly immense live oak and wild fi*jr trees, anil an almost impenetrable thicket of mangroves.— There are two towns, two dancing grounds and one council lodge, on tins Island ; with the exception ol the dancing ground and a small paicli of fine Cuba tobacco, the whole clearing is overrun with pumpkin,squash and melon vines, with occasionally, Lima beaus, in great luxuriance and of a most excellent qnaliiy. The Indians have been gone at least two weeks, and have left behind them all useless articles, such as war dance masks, supernumei ary baskets, kettles, fishing spears, bows, Sic. At 11 A. M. the Colonel des patched a small force to reconnoitre Tu>co nee’s Island, which lies about three miles west of us; they returned at 4 P. M. and reported recent signs of a man, woman and child. The only trophies they had obtained, were some ears of green corn and a few stalks ol sugar cane. January 4. Started at 9 A M lor Sam Jones’ Island. He is said to have 10 warriors with him, and to hold a strong position ; the only fear, however, entertained either by the officers or men, is that he too may have seen fit to desert his ‘lsland, and betake himself to the 13:■ r Cvpress. After paddling until 3P. M. we”reached a small cluster of trees, from the tops of which the guide said that Sam’s camp was visible ; he was accordingly sent up aloft to make an observation, and soon pronounced the place deserted. This information altered the Colonel’s plans and instead of waiting until night should con ceal his movements, he advanced immediately towards the Island ; at the same time howev er, not omitting the precaution ot sending oil’ Hanking parties, and an advance guard to re connoitre. Before sunset we had all landed, and were enjoying our bacon and biscuit in the midst, of an Indian village. Jan. sth. Sam Jones’possessions consist of a group of several Islands differing in size, and separated bv narrow sluices. Upon the largest of these which is about one hundred and fifty yards in width and a half a mile in length, are three villages and dancing grounds; the general features the same as those of Chitto’s Island, but the soil sandy. There are no villages on the other Islands, but they have been cleared in the centre and planted with pumpkins, mel ons and corn, which were of course destroy ed.’ Our greatest annoyance at this place, was the immense number of fleas, cockroach es and musquitoes , every tiling you touched, even the ground, was alive with the former, which, with the musquitoes, attacked us, while the roaches luxuriated on our provisions.— The whole group of Islands, (called Army and Navv group) is nearly a mile and a half in length,'and upon careful examination, presen ted no recent Indian signs. Jan. 6lh. At 8 A. M. passed over three miles to the Pine Keys, and scoured their whole extent; return ed at night, hungry and fatigued, to Sam Jones’ camp. Jam 7th. Started early tor the Prophet,s Island, which, according to Mica, is “two suns” from here. At 11 A. M. stopped at a small island and destroyed a flourishing crop of young corn. At 3P. M. came to an other island of small extent and uncleared ; upon sending negro John up a tree to look out, he reported two Indians in canoes, two miles off, coming toward us. Orders were imme diately given to lie close, as they were evident lv coming to the island. In a few minutes, John reported that they had seen us and were o-oing hick. The Colonel gave chase, but finding that there was not water enough for liis large canoe, transferred the guide to Capt. M’Laugim’s boa*, and directed him to move on in pursuit—-the light boats of the artillery to ac company the Captain and his command. The Colonel, with the large canoes, returned to the island, an l sent up a look-out, who repor ted the Bulans as out of sight, but our boats still going at speed, and rapidly nearing a small island about three miles ofE Col. Harney be coming and feeling confident that he could mid a pass igc across without a guide, started for tbe other island, and reached it just as some of the advance boats flushed a party consisting of four warriors, five squaws and i two children; each warrior had a separate canoe, containing his family and worldly pos : sessions. They left the boats to the care of the women, and took to the grass water, load | mg and firing as they ran ; three of the war riors were soon shot, three squaws and one child taken, the other child was drowned by its mother to prevent its cries leading to her detetion. Night coming on, one warrior and two squaws, favored by the darkness escaped. Only one soldier was slightly wounded in this affair. Jan. Bth. Early this morning, Col. Harney sent out a small force to follow the j trail of the other warrior, and endeavor if pos sible, to take him alive, as lie had learnt from the squaws that it was Chia, one of the best guides in the whole territory. After following the trail five miles, they came up with a squaw (Cilia’s wife) and took her; a few yards fur ther on, upon hearing a rustling in the grass, several of the men leaped into the water, and one of the marines, in the act of springing j from the boat, was shot by the Indian in the * side, who then ran a few paces re-loading his | rifle, and as Sergeant Searles, of fid artillery, rushed toward him, he turned and fired at on ly five paces, wounding the Sergeant mortal ly, who, however, kept on towards him ; Chia then struck at him with his rifle—poor Searles sank for an instant under the blow, but blind ed and fainting as he was from the loss of j blood, he quickly rallied for the last effort, and : threw himself upon the Indian’s neck crying, j “I have himChia then drew his knife and i was about to stab his captor, w 7 hen a sold er arrested his murderous hand. After securing the captive, the Sergeant was lifted into a ca- noe and brought back to the island, where his wounds were examined and dressed by a Med ical officer. The ball was found to passed through the right arm, entered the right side, breaking a rib, opening the right lung, and passing into the liver. The marine was not much hurt, the ball having only made a flesh wound. Jan. 9t.h. We were compelled to sleep in our boats, and, in addition to this dis comfort, it rained hard, with a cold south wind, all last night. Chia says, that Sam Jones, immediately on hearing of Col. Harney’s first expedition, had sent over to the Seminoles for powder and lead, and said that he would go in to the Big Cypress, where, if lie was pursued, he would fight to the death. Cilia and his party were going to join him, and he, (with a gallows in perspective, should he prove false) promises to guide us faithfully to him. In consequence of this information, we returned to Sam Jones’s island, which we reached at noon. Jan. 10th. The description given by China of Sain Jones’ probable position, is such as would intimidate almost any one except Col. H. from attempting lo dislodge him. At BA. M. we started for the head waters of New River, which we reached at sundown, and passed down the stream to Fort Lauderdale, where we arrived at midnight. Jan. 11.— Having disposed of our wounded men and the female prisoners, we left Lauderdale at sun down and ascended the New River entering the Everglades by the right hand branch, an hour before sunrise. Jan 12. After allowing the men two hours rest, we moved on to a group of Keys, lying between the expanse of the Everglades and the edge of the Big Cy prus. It was here that China had expected to. find the main body of the enemy; but upon examination of the signs, he pronounced that they had gone on to the O-keecho-bee. With a heart swelling with disappointment, Col. Harney found his schemes thwar’ed by the cowardice of the Indians, who had fled panic stricken upon hearing of Cln-kai-kee’s fate, and deserted their hitherto inaccessable re treats. At noon the Navy left us, taking with them Mico and negro John as guides across the Everglades, in tbe direction taken by the first expedition. After a hasty dinner, we bore away for Lauderdale, and aided by the swift current of the new River, reached our destination at 8 P. M. Jan 18. Col Harney, this morning started wit li twenty men, to search for reported pas sage from the New River, into the Hillsboro inlet, the low state of the water proved an in surmountable obstacle, he returned at sundown and gave orders to be prepared to move home ward to-morrow. Jan. 14. Passing down the New River to its mouth, we coasted along the shore until we reached the Haulover and encamped for the night. Jan. 15. At early dawn, the ca noes were hauled over from the beach into the bay ; and passing down it we reached Fort I Dallas at noon. The Pay-hai-o-kee, grass-water or Ever glades, comprises a large portion of South ern Florida, lying south of the twenty seventh degree of latitude, and separated from the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, by a Pine barren varying in width from five to twenty or more miles. There are a number of outlets on the eastern or atlantic coast, while on the western or gulpli coast there is only one, now named, after its first navigate r, Harney river. The appearance presented upon entering the Everglades is that of an immense prairie, stretching out farther than the eye can reach, covered by thick saw grass rising 6 feet above the surface of the water, which it conceals, the monotony varied by the numerous snake like channels and verdant islands scattered few and far between ; the average depth of water over the whole extent, is from two to four feet. The channels differ in width from ten to twenty feet, and in some places we had to force our boats through the waving saw grass. The larger Islands are about two feet above the usual water level, though no doubt, in very wetseasons occasionally overflowed.— The water was .clear and wholesome, and e ven where no current was preceptible, there was no appearance of stagnation. The results of this expedition, although ap parently not very brilianf, have only been sur passed in usefulness, by those of the first Everglade expedition, undertaken and prose cuted with such untiring energy and eminent s lccess by Col Harney. The knowledge ac quired of the nature of the country, the local ities ot the islands, and the strength of the pc*- sitons, occupied by two of the most formidable chiefs, is of itself ample reward for the sutier ing and privations necessarily encountered during a movement in open boats, with no tents, a limited supply of blankets and provis ions, exposed to the sun by day, and the dew by night, to the drenching rain and biting blast, but rarely allowed the luxury of a fire and living upon tare w hich requires a strong appetite to relish. New Process of Copying Statues. —An ingenious instrument, ascribed to M. Corlas, i has been invented in France, which professes \ to copy, without the assistance of an artist, and | with extreme correctnes, anv medal, bas relief, or statue, whether of wax, pi ister, wood, mar ble, or metal; to reduce or enlarge its dimen sions without impairing the harmony of its proportions, and to copy it on wood, stone, ivo | rv, or marble, with an accuracy such that the j artist himself could not distinguish the original from the copy. All this the Corlas process is stated to accomplish easily, and at an incon siderable cost. ‘-We have already admired,” says a Paris journal, u the base-reliefs of the Partheon, the originals of which are in Lon don ; the Venus of Milo, still so beautiful, des I pite of her mutilation, and several other pre ! eious modles, reduced to proportions of two fifths with a truth scarcely conceivable. The Partheon metopes, th< se venerable monuments j of arts at its origin, are moulded in plaster, with their parts worn by time and their mu tilated projectures. We have also remarked several base-reliefs reduced upon steatite to the proportions of a cameo. Nothing is wan ted in them. The most fugitive details of the model are seen with a lens in those charming copies.” . LIEUTENANT ALBURTIS. The recent affair of this officer near Fort Brook ranks in gallantry with any thing that has occurcd during the yvar. Fort Brook is near Orange Creek, about lour miles eastward from Fort Russell, a post commanded bv Capt. Barnum, and was re icently re-established by a small detachment under Lieut. Alburtis. On the day of the fight a corporal from Fort Russell, out bun ting, was shot three-fourths of a miles from Fort Brook by a party of Indians, who set up a tremendous shout, that gave Lieut. A. to suppose they had attacked a waggon which he expected with supplies from Fort Russell. Sallying out with 24 men, he made a de vour, and came upon the enemy (who were clustered round the dead man) unperceived until he fired in a full volley. Their number appeared to be three times bis own, but be continued to engage them till bis ammunition was expended, when be retreated to his post, bearing one dead and six wounded. A pri vate sent on a poney as an express to Capt. Barnum, was intercepted and killed. Determined upon protecting his wagon. Lieut. A. again sallied with 17 men, and was again set on bv the Indians, whom he fought retreating till within a mile and a quarter ol Fort Russell, when they retired. Expresses were despatched to the posts east and west, and Capt. Barnum went in immediate pur suit but the ei.emv eluded him till he came upon their camp near Fort Mackie, south of the Ocklawaha, and then the density of ti e hammock afforded them an opportunity to es cape. At the encampment (a very large one) much plunder was left in the hasty letreat.: among other things, silver ornaments, a sur tout of the late Lrut. Sherwood, and some articles of Mrs. Montgomery’s dress. “Truly Yours.” —To illustrate the asser- I lion, of on what slight or erroneous grounds scandalous reports may be based, 1 know an ’ Italian gentleman, who having received a note of invitation from an English lady of irre proachable morals, concluding in the usual way, ‘Truly yours,’ took it to a friend, to whom heexpressed his regret and embarrass ment at having unwillingly and unintention ally achieved the conquest of Lady ’s heart. ‘lmpossible’ said the friend,‘why La dy is one of the most reserved and cor rect women in England.’ ‘Here is, however, the proof of my assertion,’ replied the lialian, drawing forth a merely civil invitation to din ner, and exhibited it with an air of triumph ; ‘what say you now? you cannot surely doubt her band?’—Lady Blessington’s Idler in Ita ly. THE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. The Pioclarnation of President Harrison call upon llie new Congress to assemble on the 31st of May. It appears that there are elev en states which have not yet elecied their Rep resentatives, namely: Rhode Island, Connec ticut, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois. The New Yotk Stand ard, in referring to this matter, says: “Os these Slates, Connecticut and Virginia hold their elections in April, and in several others ti e ordinary period has been anticipated iviih referemce to tbe probabilityofan extia session being called. In New Ymk a vacancy exisis in the district lately represented by Francis Granger, which as the legislature is in session, wi I be supplied in all probability bv a special eleclion. Including the State of New Hampshire, fifteen Stales have- elected Representatives to this Congress, 84 of whom are Federalists; and 65 Democrats. The following States are vet to elect with the number of Representa tives annexed, which vve place in our columns for reference : Riiode Island, 2 Conned icul, 6 Maryland, 8 Virginia, 21 North Carolina, 13 Alabama, 5 Mississippi, 2 Tennessee, 13 Kentucky, 13 Indiana, 7 Illinois, 3 93 The Advantages of Temperance —A blacksmith in the c.uy of Philadelphia, some foriv years ago, was complaining to his iron mercchant that such was the scarcity of mon ey that he could not pay his rent. The mer chant then asked him how much rum he used in his lainily in the course of a day. Upon his answering his question, the merchant made a calculation, and showed him that his rum amounted to more money in the year than his house reni. The calculation so astonished the mechanic that he determined from that day he could buy and drink no more spirits of any kind. In the next ensuing year he paid his rent and bought anew suit of clothes out of the savings of temperance. He per sisted in it through the course of tiis life, and ihe consequence was, competence and respec tably. “Rot your cash system!” cried a man a hout town; “if it comes about what are we to do?” Sure enough. If it come the fashion for board to be paid regularly once a week, what would become of those who never pay any thing? They would be obliged tochange from house to house once a week, instead ol once in two or three months, as at present. Industry. —lndustry prolongs life. It can not conquer death, but can defer his hour; — and spreads over the interval a thousand en joyments that make it a pleasure to live. As rust and decay rapidly consume the machine that is not kept iji use; so disease and siek ! ness accumulate on the frame or indolence, uniilexisietK*: becomes a burdenand the grave a bed of rest. ‘■Do you publish matrimonial notices for the subscribers to your paper ?” said a gen-! tleinanly looking youth, stepping into our of fice the other morning. “Certainly, sir.”— “Well, then, I'll go and get married, fori don’t see any other way of getting my name ! in your paper —since you have rejected all ray poetical effusions.” Reception of Mr. Van Buf.en in New York. —From the papers of both parties pub i fished in New York, we find that the recep tion of the ex-President in that seat of Van Buremsm was such as must have been ex ceedingly gratifying to the returning states man. The day was very wet and unpleas ant, but this circumstance did not prevent a great turn out to welcome “New York's Fa vorite Son.” From the character of the vote of the State and of the city, we must conclude that the latter now is mire emphatically the lather bv adoption, of the ex President. It is stated, also, that he has taken a house there for his residence during that portion of the year when Kinderhook is less agreeable. It is situated in East Broadway. CO” The editor of the New World announ ces that he has just commenced the publica tion, in his ample columns, of “Barnabv Rudge”—a new story hv Charles Dickens, (Boz,) author of Oliver Twist. Nicholas Nick elhv, the P'ckwick Papers, &,c. Orders for the New World (the terms of which is §3 per annum, payable in advance,) should be addressed to J. Winchester, 30 Ann street, New York. Several young ladies complain very much of the hard times. They say they cannot get half as much money for a breach of promise as I they did formerly. This is “outrageous, and i not to be borne.” Push and Pull—the two significant labels i usually on the doors of Banks. EXCHANGE & BANK NOTE TABLE CORRECTED EY NORTON & LANGDON. EXCHANGE.
