Destructive Fire.
About 1 o'clock on Thursday night, a fire
broke out in one of the frame houses on Ogle
thorpe street, kept by Mr. Knight ns a drink
ing mid eathig establishment. The tlnines
spread with great rapidity, and quickly eu
veloped the three small wooden buildings be
tween Teiuporance Hall on the north and the
dwelling house occupiei by Thos. DeWolf
i proprietor of tliis paper) on the south. From
these they speedily caught to the roof ot the
latter house —an extensive brick building—
mid to a two-story frame house in the rear of
t lie building next to Temperance Hall, and all
efforts to save them proved unavailing. There
was very little wind stirring, but the extreme
dryness of the atmosphere for so long u period
rendered the wood-work very combustible, and
in an almost incredibly short time the five
buildings mentioned were entirely wrapt in
thimes. Very little was saved from the frame
buildings, but most of the furniture and other
movable articles was removed from the brick
house occupied by Mr. DeWolf. The window
frames and snsh of Temperance Hall on the
■ outh side were burnt, but the building itself
was saved from destruction or material injury.
The firemen and citizens exerted themselves
manfully h> arrest the flames and save the pro
perly in the houses. Aided by the long and
high brick side of Temperance Hall (which
presented very little combustible material to
the devouring element) and by the vacant
puce south of the dwelling occupied by Mr.
DeWolf, they succeeded in arresting the pro
gress of the fire after the destruction of the
five buildings mentioned.
The small building next to Temperance Hall
was occupied by Mrs. Acnchbackcr, and the
house in the rear of it by some free negroes.—
The other two wooden houses were in the oc
cupancy of Mr. Knight. Thofirsttwo and one
of the last named were owned by Seaborn
••ones, Esq.; tlio other wooden house and the
brick building were the property of Dr. llobt.
A. Ware. We suppose that the buildings were
worth in all about $5,500. The brick house
was not insured, and we have notlieard of any
insurance on the others. The loss of furni
ture (by fire, loss and breakage) in the brick
building was probably about SSOO, which is
divided between Messrs. DeWolf, Wm. E. Love
and.). It. Hull, whose families occupied the
house.
The fire cannot easily be accounted for as an
accident, and we learn that there are cireum
■ sauces which induce the suspicion that it was
the work of au incendiary.
The Weather and the Crops.
As far ns wc have been able to learn, the
late frosts have done no damage of conse
quence in this vicinity, except the nipping of
a few tender garden vegetables in locations pe
culiarly exposed. Neither the fruit nor tho
corn has been seriously injured. There was
very littlo cotton up in the low grounds, and
on the uplands there was not frost enough to
Will. Rain is greatly needed, and some plan
ters fear that their seeds lately planted will
not germinate for the want of moisture.
We have heretofore alluded to the great
scarcity of sweet potatoes for planting, and
the impossibility of obtaining enough to plant
an ordinary crop. Wo now learn from farmers
that a very large proportion of the potatoes
thought to he uninjured, and bedded for
sprouts, have not germinated. In some in
stances not a sprout has put out from entire
beds. It is hardly possible, under these cir
cumstances, that one-fourth of an ordinary
crop can he raised in this section of Georgia
and Alabama, unless the season should admit
of the planting and mature growth of cuttings
from the few vinos that can he obtained from
sprouts a contingency that appears to be al
most hopeless at this advanced stage of the
- oason and with the dry prospect before us.
Though there lias been no rain in our own
neighborhood this week, we are glad to learn
that other sections in nearly all directions
have been more favored. At Montgomery, on
Wednesday, there was a rain which “ wet the
ground quite thoroughly,” and the Mail thiuks
it “ enough for the gardens and the crops.”
The Augusta Constitutionalist of Thursday an
nounces that “wo had a good rain yesterday
afternoon in this vicinity,”
We arc glad to see by the following editorial
from tho Cassville Standard of the 24tli, that
even as far north as :! 1:20 the frosts did not
materially injure the crops, and seasonable
rains have fallen:
“ Since Saturday morning last wo have hud
•i tight spell of cool weather, accompanied by
light frosts, but little damage has been done,
except near water courses where the frosts
were heavier.
“ The crops are very backward, but ns we
have been favored with refreshing showers of
rain within the last ten days, if the cool weath
er ceases, as the prospect is good, a few days
will bring about a great change for the better.
“ Wheat looks poorly, but there is a chance
for considerable improvement yet.”
The following is from the Savannah Repub
lican of Thursday :
“We regret to learn from planters, that the
young cotton in the seaboard counties has been
considerably injured by the late cold weather,
and especially by the slight frost of Monday
morning last. In some localities, it is believ
ed the crop will have to be replanted, either
in whole or in part. This is the case as far
as Camden county, beyond which our informa
tion lines not extend.”
The sand is n “ little damp ” yet in tho bed
of our river, as was demonstrated yesterday
morning by the arrival of the l). J. Day from
Apalachicola at our wharves. She reports the
cattish aground on many of the bars.
* Lookout Mountain House.
This house and pleasant watering place, as
will be seen by reference to our advertising
columns, will be opened for the reception of
visitors on the first of June.
Mr. Ashburu, the proprietor, has a reputa
Fionas a caterer, equalled by few. Give him !
a call.
A CARD.
The undersigned, forhims If and for Messrs.
Wm. K. Love, J. It. Hull and— Cowdery,
(Messrs. Love and Hull being absent from
the city,) returns sincere thanks to those citi
zens who aided in saving the furniture and
other movable property in the building occu
pied by him, during the lire on Thursday
night. THOS. DeWOLF.

Loss of the Gen. Wilson.
We learn from the Courier and Enquirer,
that the brig General Wilson, from New York,
bound for Apalachicola, was wrecked recently
on Kerry island. Ship and cargo entire loss.

The steamship Arago arrived at New 1 ork
on the 24th inst., with Havre dates to the 9th.
Her commercial news was anticipated by the
Arabia’s advices. We noth as an item of po
litical intelligence by the Arago, that “ Aus
tria was raising difficulties in relation to the
evacuation of the Principalities.”

Georgia University.
Wc are indebted to some friend for a copy
of the catalogue of this institution. From it
we learn that there are now in the University
twenty-four Seniors, thirty-eight Juniors,
thirty-three Sophomores, twelve Freshmen,
and five in the Partial Course—total 112.
Our State ought to make a much better show
ing than this for her University; but we sup
pose that the numerous high schools in other
parts of the State are so well appreciated and
so well endowed as to bo liberally patronized
by parents seeking a thorough education for
their sons.
The Commencement is on the first Wednes
day in August, when the Hon. Henry W.
Hillard, of Alabama, will deliver the address
before the two Literary Societies. Rev. 11.
M. Palmer, of South Carolina, will address
the Aldmni on the day proceeding Commence
ment.
A New Telegraphic Project.
Mr. Elihu Burritt proposes anew route for
connecting the old and new Worlds by tele
graph. He proposes a line from New York
to our Pacific Coast, and thence across Behr
ing’s Straits into Russia. He says that
Russia has already some sixty thousand miles
of telegraph in operation, and that she will
undoubtedly continue her lines across her
whole broad territory, now that peace is
concluded. He entertains no doubt that she
will be ready to meet the United States half
way, and perhaps more than half way, be
tween New York and St. Petersburg- This
really appears to be the most practicable plan
proposed for uniting the two hemispheres,
and is worthy of serious consideration.—
St. Petersburg is already in communication
with the principal cities of Europe by tele
graph.
Weldon, North Carolina, being the focus of
several railroad linos of the Old Dominion, is
a great place for the marriage of couples from
Virginia. The knot is tied there in a hurry
for those who haven’t time to get the “ old
folks’ ” consent. The statistics show that the
business at Weldon has been brisker this year
than at any former period, and the largely in
creased number of marriages shows that the
ladies have freely exercised the peculiar privi
leges of Leap Year. They must persuade the
young men to dope from their anxious par
ents, too, ns the marriages at Weldon are
nearly all “ runaway matches.” Go it, girls,
while bissextile lasts; for ma.ny of you may
be considered old maids before its next re
turn.
The Spring races over the Union Course,

with a two-mile race between S. G. M oore’s

Undine. Puss Fariss won, in pretty fair time.

Wo cut the following from the Shreveport
Gazette of the 12th inst. It applies as fully
to this section as to Louisiana, and shows
that our Spring drouth and backward vegeta
tion are not local, but wide spread and gener
al :
We expressed the opinion the other day,
that sucli a dry Spring never was known be
fore in this country, but someone present re
marked, that, “It wag just as dry last year.”
We do not remember it. \t any rate it is so
dry that tlie dust is almost stifling: vegetation
must be suffering, ami we are told That on
some farms in the country the ground is so
hard as to render it impossible to plow.
We have daily indications of rain, but it
does not come.

LATEST INDIAN NEWS.
[From llir Tampa CoiiiiiHiilar. Extra, el April 10. J
A Battle with the Indians, in the Big Cy
press, on the 7th inst., by Maj. Arnolds
Command.
The following intelligence was received
by Col. Monroe, yesterday afternoon. M e
compile the statements here given from Maj.
Arnold’s report:
Whilst scouting in the Rig Cypress, with
the available force of his command, composed
of Capt. Dawson, 2d Lieuts. Langdon and
Gardner, Ass’t Surgeon Moore, and 108 en
listed men, Maj. Arnold was attacked, on the
Bth, by Indians, estimated from 80 to 100,
who were lying in wait, in a thick cypress
swamp, (water two feet deep,) about a halt
a mile from -‘Hilly’s Town.” The first indi
cation of their presence was a fire from them
on the advanced guard, which was soon fol
lowed by a full volley on the column. Com
pany C., commanded by Lieut. Gardner, lead
ing off, which, at that time, was not far of” the
the advance guard.
After exchanging some three hundred shots
on both sides, a charge in front was ordered.
At least 54 Indians ran towards ‘* Hilly’s
Town,” and a number took to a dense cypress
in the right. The cypress was charged, but
no Indians were discovtred, although they
were seen to go into it. Those who had re
treated to the hammock, towards “ Hilly’s
Town,” were then’ attacked. When within a
short distance of the town, a large number of
Indians were seen running east, towards an
abandoned village, surrounded on all sides by
a very dense liammock, except in front, where
was a very large pond or swamp, covered
with tall grass and about two feet of water.
As this hammock was approached, the In
dians fired a volley, which was returned by
the advanced guard, under Lieut. Langdon.
The enemy then ran to another hammock,
half a mile to the north; the troops followed;
the Indians there fired again, which was re
turned; a charge was then made, before which
the Indians retreated, and were pursued un
til all traces of them were lost. The fight
and pursuit occupied about six hours.
The loss was private John Simms, Cos. L. 2d
Art’y mortally wounded, ( survived about
fifteen minutes;) Corp’l Joseph Carson, Pri
vates John Muller, John Strobell, Cos. C. 2d
Art’y; and Thos. Newton, Cos. L. Ist Art’y
severely wounded, and Privates Silas M. Wat
kins and Wm. Abbott, Cos, C. 2d Art’y, slight
ly wounded. Several received shots in their
clothing and liavresacks.
What loss or injury the Indians sustained
is not known, further than that blood was
discovered on the bushes through which they
retreated.
Depredations in Levy County.
| From tlie Ocala Companion, Extra of April 17.]
We have just received information from
Levy county, by’F. 51. Pittman, Esq., direct
from the place of attack, that on Tuesday,
the Bth inst., Mr. Enoch Daniels, a citizen
of that county, left his home,} some nine
miles South of Levy 0. 11., in search of hogs,
and after proceeding about three miles, his
dog which was running ahead stopped at a
clump of palmettos, barked a few times and
ran back considerably frightened.
At that moment Mr. Daniels saw an Indian
rise up from the palmettos to fire upon him,
and as the Indian fired he turned his horse
towards home. Just then nine Indians
sprang from their hiding place, and uttering
the most horrid yells, fired and rushed upon
him. 1 sis coat was pierced by bullets, and
the stock of his gun considerably shattered,
but he was unhurt.
After he had gone three or four hundred
yards, he turned and saw two Indians very
near him. One of them dodged to a small
tree, and commenced loading. Believing that
all their guns were empty, Mr. Daniels fired
upon the Indian, who fell, and the survivor
going to the assistance of the one who was
shot, the chase was given over.
The next morning a scouting party, twenty
in number, among whom was our informer,
started in pursuit. They found the spot as
described by Mr. Daniels, a pool of blood by
tho tree where the Indian was shot, and saw
blood a long distance on their trail. The
party followed several miles; but upon going
some distance in the Gulf Hammock, whither
they had traced the Indians, they’ were com
pelled to turn back. Those acquainted with
Indians, and their signs, concluded that there
must be as many as fifty about there.
This may be relied on as correct.
Affairs in Kansas.
The St. Louis Republican has a letter from
a correspondent who has been traveling in
Kansas, dated St. Joseph, April 2, from which
we extract as follows :
“ In a long and extensive ride through Kan
sas, I found quiet so complete, that 1 am not
a little surprised to see in Eastern papers such
stirring accounts of great excitements and dis
turbances pervading and agitating that Terri
tory. One would think, from reading their
portrayals, that a tearful storm was about to
burst upon that devoted country, and incarna
dine its emerald plains with human gore; while,
in truth, a perlect peace and calm is every
where supreme, and the rosy fingered goddess
of the morn opens the portals of each coming
day with a growing brightness.
In a long peregrination on the Mosquito, the
Kaw, the Grasshopper aud the Nemelia—the
most beautiful and fertile portions of the coun
try—l heard nothing but contemplated im
provements in agriculture, the raising of stock
kc.
I saw one or two members of the recent Leg
islature at Topeka, and tried to get from them
some information of their action, but they
seemed ashamed to speak of it, and avoided
all categorical replies. 1 only gathered that
they had met, and adjourned over to the fourth
of July.
The Circuit Court has taken these matters
under its special care, and is moving slowly,
but withunerringeertainty of justice, to award
to disturbers of tiie peace and violators of law
their just deserts.
At Osawkee, last week, some revelations
were made before the Grand .fury in regard to
the “Regulators ’—an organized company at
Lawrence, under Gen. Lane, whose sole pur
pose was to resist the laws—which occasioned
the finding of several bills of indictment against
leading citizens.
In every county the Grand Juries have con
tinued to find bills of indictment against the
judges of the lawless elections; and it is the
intention of Judge Lecompte to follow up, to
the extent of the law, all those who have noted
in its violation and defiance.”

The Sea Serpent Again.
The Norfolk Herald of the 22d inst. con
tains a long editorial concerning the appear
ance of a 80a Serpent, seen by the captain of
a coasting schooner a day or two since. As
it is likely to prove quite as interesting as
anything we could publish during the present
great dearth of news, we subjoin the Herald’s
account entire :
Yesterday, Capt. Birse, of the schooner
Eliza Ann Steele, informed us that while about
five miles south of Great Egg Harbor, on his
way to Norfolk, the vessel making about
knots an hour, and the sea being very calm,
his attention was called to an object in the
water about 80 yards off, which he at first
thought was a tree. On looking again, how
ever, he perceived a ripple, and spray appar
ently breaking over it. The watch being be
low, he sent a boy, the only other person on
deck, to bring his glass, and on examining the
object through it he perceived that it was a
monster. It had then erected its head, which
was oval in form, some three feet above the
water, and he could plaiuly see one of its eyes,
which was very large and very sparkling, and
surmounted by a huge bunch. The serpent
had evidently become alarmed, and before he
could adopt any measures to capture it, dis
appeared, going down head foremost, and in
doing so, gave Capt. B. an opportunity of see
ing the whole of his body. He says the head
of the animal was apparently very rough and
knotted: but the rest of his body was very
smooth and black, and his tail was flat like an
eel’s. He supposed it to be at least forty feet
in length and of tho diameter of a hogshead.
As soon as it disappeared the captain threw
the lead and ascertained that the depth of
water was only five fathoms, and he says that
no whale was ever seen in such shallow water,
and lliat moreover he is an old whaler, has a
perfect knowledge of the habits of porpoises,
hi a k fish, sharks, &c., and could easily dis
tinguish them. The living thing seen by him
was none of these, and if it was not a sea ser
pent then he does not know what it was. We
tell tlie tale as it was told to us, and Captain
Birse is willing to swear to it.
Florida Railroads.
Florida appears to have become fully alive
to the importance of developing its latent re
sources, by the construction of Railroads. No
less than three companies are now simultane
ously and actively engaged in railroad build
ing. At the first glance, it would seem that
our young sister was overdoing the thing, and
that there necessarily must be some conflict
among the various enterprises on foot; but
upon inspection of the peculiar geographical
position and conformation of the State, and a
more intimate knowledge of the objects and
direction of these roads, we are constrained to
admit that there is necessarily no conflict, but
on the contrary, that they harmonize with and
afford aid to each other, as well as compose a
scheme well adapted to confer lasting benefit
upon the entire State.
One of these roads starts from the Atlantic,
and runs south to seek a Gulf outlet. Another
commences at Jacksonville, on the St. Johns
river, a tributary of the Atlantic, and runs
westward sixty miles to Alligator, Columbia
county, where the line is taken up by another
Company and carried still further westward to
Tallahassee, eventually to be extended to Pen
sacola. The road first mentioned was com
menced last fall; the other two this spring;
and tlie grading ig simultaneously progressing
trom Tallahassee eastward and from Jackson
ville westward to the point of meeting, where
they will constitute a continuation from the
Atlantic to the Gulf, by a junction with the
St. Marks at Tallahassee. The Legislature of
tho State lias, by law, granted aid to the Com
panies for the iron and equipments of their re
spective roads, and lias also authorized county
and town subscriptions to the capital stock of
these roads, by a voteot the citizens, empow
ering the corporate authorities to issue bonds,
and requiring them to levy and collect such a
tax as will pay the interest and redeem the
bonds. Ibis provision was necessary, inas
much as the capital of the county was, in a
great measure, locked up in real estate, in ne
groes, and other personal property, which was
unavailable for this purpose. In several in
stances the subscription has been voted, the
people consenting to impose on themselves a tax
to procure the facilities of transportation which
their isolated position demanded, and which,
compared with their present transportation
tax to and from market, is a slight burden.—
