DA St 113 N HERALD. Tuesday Jloriiinj.% April 10, Fruits and St lnrry in Florida —We Ask the attention of the reader to the article on the second page of to-day’s paper with this * option. It is an interesting sketch and will repay a perusal. On Dit—Rumor says, that the friends of Mr Clay intend to hoist his banner openly in the city of Charleston, during the session of the approaching Commercial Convention. The Steamer J. Stone. —On Tuesday evening last the J. Stone, Cn pt. Mend all, arrived at this port from Savannah in less than nine hours. This is her first trip since the accident, which occurred some lime since, by which she sustained some injury. She has undergone thorough repair. Her cabir is beau tifully fitted up, and presents quite a cheering ap pearance. She will ply, we learn, regularly between this port and Savannah, during the season. r r On the first inst the Honorable Justices of the | Inferior Court of this county, elected the following persons Commissioners of the Common Schools: Thos. K. Gould, Jacob Rokenbnugh, James Smith, William Baggs, and Pd. Le Charticr, Esqrs. Glynn County. —The Spring term of the .Superior Court of this county, commenced its session in Brunswick yesterday. There is a large amount of business on the docket, and if tip’ cases continued at the last Court are brought to trial during the present term, a week will not be sufficient to dispose f them The editor of the Advocate informs us that he will le compelled to omit the publication of his paper next week in consequence of the rooms occupied for his printing office, in the Court House, being wanted for jury purposes. He is certainly very obliging, and as one good turn deserves anotner, we hope, should he ever get into the clutches of the law, his honor will not forget him. Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Darien Herald. * dated Monticf.i.lo, Florida, April 3d, 1830. You will have learned ere this that Indian murders are of no common occurrence in our neighbourhood. About the middle of last month a Mr. Gray, an aged nd*respec table old gentleman, whoresided about 5 miles from this place was killed by the Indian?. In the afternoon of the day that he was killed he was in this town, in perfect health, and expressed his fears that the Indian war wus not yet terminated. He was sitting by his fireside when he was shot. The Indians entered the very room in which lie was, be fore any of the family were aware of their approach His daughter, an interesting young lady about 17 years of age, and her little brother were in the room at the route time. An Indian fired at them, the form er was wounded in the stomach, and the little boy in the leg. In an instant she rushed to the door with her brother in her arms, and succeeded in getting into the yard. Here her brother was taken from her, and she received some severe wounds, but fortunately es caped. The stub in her shoulder is very bad, but she will recover. The Indians beat the little boy and left him for dead. He was found the next morn ing, and although cruelly cut and bruised hopes nre entertained that lie too will get over it. Another of the old gentleman’s daughters escaped without inju ry, but the youngest one was found the next morning dead Ijefore the house. They plundered the house and then fired it, and the ashes of one of our most respectable citizens mingle with those of his house. The heart sickens at the recital of these frequent scenes of horror. Here is another family who were Ayelloff in life, surrounded with all the comforts their hearts could desire, reduced to beggary and want, and added to the long list of orphans which this un natural war has made. It has as u matter of course caused considerable excitement here. The daring murders so near our town has filled us all with dread, and God only knows who will be the next victim. In the number of our citizens about to absent themselves from their country, in pursuit of health, or pleasure, or both, is, we have understood. Mr Jackson, late Representative in Congress from the State of Georgia This gentleman purposes (we have heard) an absence from the United States of two or three years ; during which time he w ill make a •wide tour in Europe—extending his journey into i Italy and Greece—and will then visit the more inte resting portions of Asia and Africa adjacent to the Mediterranean. In making mention of this intend ed tour of Mr. Jackson, we will incidentally confess our gratification at the increased travel between the Old and New World, which the fine accommoda tions of the American packet-ships, and the comforts and fleet ness of the British steam-vessels, are every year producing. It is gratifying to believe that these frequent communications between Europe and Ame rica, by making the inhabitants of both worlds bet ter acquainted with each other, w ill more and more tend to beget international comity, and to liberalize national feeling. —National Intel igencer. Unprecedented Despatch. —Tire Steamer J. God dard, Capt. J. L. Wilcox, belonging to the Macon Steam Boat Company’s line, arrived on Friday last, in the short run of eighty hours from Darien, having two pole boats in tow, deeply laden with merchan dize.—Macon Messenger. The Rev. Dr. Breckenfidge, of Philadelphia, preached in the Senate Chamber at Houston. Texas, to a large and admiring audience. He .comes as the Agent of the General Presbytery, to ascertain the moral wants of the Texians iti regard to missionaries from the United States. The Bible cause is making great progress in Texas. To believe some northern prints, ac customed to 9ncer at the morals and religion of Texas, one would scarcely believe that the people of that country are our brothers and kindred, part and parcel of the same Anglo Saxon stock, and as good a sample of respecta bility, education, and other traits of civilization as the United *s>tates can offer any where.

We trust the base | incendiaries may In* discovertd and suffer the pun-| ishmrut due their crimes: Fire. — The alarm was sounded about a quarter after ten o'clock last evening, and the flames burst forth from Mr. Charles &w nn’stwo story dwelling in Yamarcraw, destroying that building with a sailor’s boarding house on the lane, amt smaller buildings on the premises. By the active exertions of the firemen and citizens, the wooden dwelling of Mrs. O. Flynn Prcndegrast, exposed to ull the fury of the element, was rescued from the flames, as also the handsome edifice of Mr. Keebler, and other centinguous build- I ings. which were repeatedly’ on fire. The roof of the engine house in the vicinity was also on fire. We have not been able to ascertain the particulars of individual losses, but Mr. Swan must be theprin- . eipal sufferer. Whether the fire was caused by accident or design j ii not ascertained. It behooves our Citizens, howev er, not to relax in their vigilance. Still Another. —About eight o’clock on Monday night Inst, a fire was discovered in the Barbershop, I of Wand, a colored man, in Broughton street u,,t f between Whitaker and Barnard. 11 “ s speedily extinguished “.e exertion of persons on | the sn>‘ ‘ vu * general opinion is, that it was the . w oi k of an incendiary, from the fuel of no fire being in the shop for some time previous. Another attempt was made about the same time to fire the stables of Andrew .Marshall, a colored man, livingin Yamacraw. It was also fortunately disco- j vered in time to prevent destruction The miscre- ‘ ants engaged in this vile work will, we trust, be caught at last. We extract the following from a late number of ! the Macon Messenger: Darien.—Up to the first inst. 68,855 hales of cot- j ton have been exported from this city to different ports. Notwithstanding the low state of our river, a considerable quantity has arrived during the past week. Our city is rapidly increasing, not only in a commercial point of view, but in every’ respect that could lje desired. The scarcity of dwelling houses is the best evidence of the increase of her population. Her lumber business brings hundreds of foreign sails to our port, and gives employment to the various mechanics required to carry them on. Here vessels from foreign ports find a ready market for the pro duce they bring and in return can at all times le sup plied, at very short notice, with the best of lumber, sawed to any size, and not inferior to any in the world. Upon thr whole, we cannot see why Darien should net, ns nature ami art intended her. become one of the principle commercial ports of the south Alrea dy has her lumber business drawn attention to her from all parts of the Union—and she is destined, be yond u doubt to become the greatest lumber mart in the Mates. [We would add to the. above, (from the Darien Herald.) that ire cannot see why Darien should not become one of the greatest, if not the very finest, lum ber market in the U. .States. It is known to every one acquainted with the country from Macon and Milledgeville. to Darien, that on the Ocmulgee, the Oconee, and Altamnho, are vast forests of pine tim ber, suited to every kind of building materials—that most of these lands limy be had for almost nothing— that steam, and in some cases water mills may he erected on the Imnks of the river, which could supply any quantity of lumber and which can, with a very small expense, !>c sent, at all seasons, to Darien by boats or rafts, from whence it cun he shipped to any other port whore a market ran he found We think that if a moiety of our enterprise, which has been di rected to the cultivation of cotton, could he directed to the lumber trade, that it would prove a more substantial mullicauiit business, than will re sult from any fever that now effects our citizens ] The N. Orleans Picayune of the 4th says that Col. Pierce Butler, late Governor of South Carolina, Gen. Hamilton, of the same State? and Col. J. M. White of Florida have filed their declarations recording the intentions of becoming citizens of Texas, at Houston, in that Republic, (’an this he so ?

On Thursday night last, Mr. John Ruffner, who lives j ust at the foot of the /*Y>rt Moun tain, on the bank of the Shenandoah river heard his dogs in persuit of what lie supposed to be a deer. He followed them to a point, not far from the river, where he supposed the game, whatever it was would cross a small ridge on its way to the Mountain. The dogs however, continued running along the river bank, and at last uttered a loud sounding bark at 10 o’clock at night. Mr. Ruffner supposed that the deer had taken to the water, and that the dogs were haying it. He immediately cut for the river—but had no gun. nor other weapon of fensive or defensive. When he got to the riv er, he saw by the broad full moon, a large dark looding animal, standing in the edge of the water, the clogs just beyond it in the wa ter, and two others on the beach within a few feet of it. Without stopping a moment, down to the bank he went, when the animal and dogs immediately struck for the other shore. They happened to be just opposite the mouth of Mill Hun, and for that point he seemed to aim. Mr. Ruffner plunged into the river after the dogs, and with some difficulty reached the opposite bank and came up to them, where, as the animal made repeated efforts to climb the steep bank just under a high cliff of rocks, the dogs would catch hold of it and they would both tumble back into the river. He now for the first time was warned of his danger, and perceived what sort of a critter he had to do with. The terrible snap of his enormous jaws and the havoc that he was making with the dogs, showed him that it was a ferocious he wolf the largest of his tribe. Here then was a case. The dogs though bravt as lions and the idols of their masters affections, were manifestly getting the worst of it ; and must ere long yield to the terrible gashes, which at every crash of his iron jaws, the wolf was making in their bodies. He how ever with a steady eye, watched the moment when the wolf and dogs tumbled down the bank into the river, near where he was stan ding. and reached his hand into the water, caught the wolf by the hind legs, and raised him up at aims length. This was a moment of imminent peril. For the wolf doubly arou sed by his new enemy, and the dogs stimula ted by the assistance of their new ally, a fight took place in the water, that uterly defies all description. As the wolf would raise to snap Mr. Ruffner, he would, by raising his hind legs plunge his head under water—and when the wolf would raise himself to seize his arms, his faithful dogs would lay hold for a moment to prevent it. °Thus the terrible fight went on for some minutes, till at last Mr. Ruffner per ceived the point a rock near the warter’s edge, and within a few feet of him ; he then watch ing the favorable moment, by one powerful muscular effort swung the wolf entirely over, and thrashed its head head and back against the rock, with such force as to stun’ if not to kill it. But to render the work complete, he held on with one hand, whilst with the other he broke his skull. 31Y.

He then immediately drew it on his own account, and afterwards sent a hired man with it to lie credited a second time ns paid capital.
