We are told by lha poet, that

‘‘Love is like a child.

tho lover will avail himself of such an opportunity.
We nro informed, by good authority, that
‘‘The man that hath no music in himself.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Jan. C, 13-11.
Wo have no'li ing from l he South since the uirivu.
of ilioGnston, and nothing from the interior. Tim
mail rider was alarmed by some thing that he thought
to bo Indians ibis morning about nino miles from
this on thu Jacksonville rand. Nothing further lull
been atct'itniiiud, but that small purtiusof assassin*
ure lurking about, is quite ptobable.
I told you in my last that the report of a treaty
with thu Indians was all smoke, and for tlm honor
«*f the Government I still hope it is, but the matter
is more serious than I nt first supposed, fur it lias
been rcguUily reported by army officers and exten*
siv«>|y circulated in the newspapers.
On Tuesduy n public meeting in this place adopt
ed sundiy lOsidutions on tho subject which will ap

THE WEATHER.
Since our lust wo have been inhaling tho breath
of Spring. Suimdiiy was u worrit day, but yester.
*lny was warmer. Thero was no comfort unless
the *"phyr of tlm South was permitted to find 11 way
through our casements. This is tube, like its
predecessors, a year oflicklo weather, and if wo aru
to judge by that of New Year's day, more fickle.
On that day tim morning Sun wu* obscured by
clmidv, which threatened heavy showers, but a
South-Wester drove, nt noon, those clouds away,
and the Sun shone in bit brilliancy upon our hopns,
cnltuncod us they were hyilmduwn ufnnotlter year.
'Tie thus with human life, in soma degree. Infancy
lias it* clouds uml its shadows, for reason has not
yet os»um***l its stutlon to Instruct thn tciium! mind
Itow to dissipate them. Boyhood arrives and its
careless gaiety, like the South Wo»t wind disperses
all shades, and frolics in tlm •nn-light, while tho
noon of manhood is rendered still brighter by tho
light which reason and nxpotfenco concentrate.
But to return from •lurdigrestlnn. The weather
cf yesterday, if it continues, will surely bring tho
oduuis, ut well n* the breath of Bpriug, and wo will
not ha surprised soon to seo tt bed of roses, (would
that wo could recline upon it,) ami ilia fragrant
jouumino pimping from its winter retkleiico. to hav«
its beauties ohillud, perhaps withered, by an untimoi
|y frost. Wo Impo hot, however, fur we nro for
every season having **• beyduy of pleasure, while

1 •• • tlm reproach of neglecting our own kith and kin, nnd
u vessel lying nt Pensacola, by a shipping muslor
in this city. On the 26th, one of the prisoners,
Smith, who appears to Imve taken n leading part
in the bloody drama which followed, quarrelled
with the cook of the schooner; the captuin remon
strated with him, when Smith nml some ol tlm
other passengers evinced n most turbulent spirit.
Tho cnptniu sui-1 ho had arm* nfi, nnd would use
them, if any disposition was shown to mutiny.—
Smith replied, thnt if lie had arms nft, they, the
passenger sailors, had arms furwnrd, and would
u*o them,—and finally said that it should be deci*
ded that night, whethor hu or tho captain should
c mmand the schooner. The schooner in the mean
time gut agiound on thoShcll Banks. About dusk,
and while Smith and Id* bloody-minded compan
ions were in tlm fotecustle, thu captuin und thu
wlmleof Ids own craw,excepting the steward, who
unfortunately was left behind, got into tho yawl and
shoved off from tho schooner, leaving her aground,
nml in possession of tho pirates. As they put oil'
Smith happened to cotue on deck, and saw them,
when hu immediately asked for his bowio knife,
nml called up nil hands; but tho captuin and his
men were out uf tils puwer. They then turned to
und commenced drinking, and tim next day it won
proposed to lighten the schooner hy throwing tho
cargo overboard, with tho view of getting her off.
They intimated their design to tlm steward, who
remuined in the cubin. Ho objected, wheuSmiili
replied, that whoever would not join with thorn,
should ho considered their enemy, and trraied
such. The steward replied they might do as they
pWsud. Tlmy than went to work, discharging thu
freight into tho lake. Ono of them, an old Eng
lishman, who fell unahleand refused to work, Jones
heat about the head und face with a mntlinspiko
till he murdered him, and then threw him over
board.
Tho report of n shot was now heard from the
cabin where tho steward was; tlmy ran in und
•truck nt him with blood-thirsty violence. JJo
begged bis life, but Junes told Smith to give him
no merry. Ho got nut, and one among them who
neither approved nor purticipnicrl in their proceed
ings, threw n plank into thu lake on which tho
steward jumped. They then threw at him billets
of wood and other missiles, till thuy drowned him.
Tlmy next turned on tho ono who threw out tho
plank to the steward und despatched him. Thorn
were now hut four lunula remaining, who managed
to got the schooner off, Swul was sent to tlm helm
who shortly run tho schooner aground ugnin near
Cat Island. Tlmy then ransacked the vessel, took
possession vf two hundred dollars, two wntches nnd
somu other property ; put on other clothes than
their own, nml made a raft on which to go nslmro.
A storm was blowing uml limy did not venture, but
staid onboard that night, the 87th. In the morning
thoy saw n boat nenring them with nrmed men in it.
sad as they saw no chaiico of esenpo tlmy concluded
that death—instant death was inevitable. Thoy
expected to bo shot ns soon ns tho party reached
tho schooner, nnd Smith nnd Jones said they cared
n*»t—they were prepared for it. Not 30 nn old man
ofihe party, who jumped overboard nnd was drown-
ud. making tlm fourth life that was snerilierd.
The party wlm were seen approaching in llie boat
consisted of tho captain nnd some citizens of l’uss
ChrUtiun, who enmn with him armed to rcluke Ids
vessel. 'Urn cowardly murderers, at their up*
prouch, ran down nnd hid themselves under deck*
where they remained till thoy wore arrested. After
this, tlm enptnin put his schooner in order, returned
to this city, und informed the polico of tlm transac*
tion.
Thesa facts Imvo been gathered principally from
tlm confessions of Swnl, who snys thnt he took no
part in tho murders; nnd in giving his ussistunco in
throwing out tho freight only acted from fear. Smith
and Junes, h* snys, were thu principals, the one
tiding ns captain and tho other as mate. They
sny that Swul (ho is a Dutchman) is ns much itn*
plicated as they are—that they desire death and
wisli to be shot.

The company numbered nearly five hundred, nnd

Englnnd, alt being ardent to do honor in the memo
ty uf one to whom all honor was due. The Duke

SUMMER. IN THE HEART.
By Fpts Sargent.
The cold blast at tho casement beau,
The window panes are white;
The snow whirls through the empty streets—
It is a dreary night!
Sit down, old friend! the wine-cups wait—
Fill! too'erflowinj. fill!
Though Winter howleth at the gate,
In our hearts 'tis Summer still !J
For we, full many Summct joys,
And green wood sports have shared,
When, free nnd ever-roving boys,
The rocks, the stream* we dated!
And, os l look upon thy face—
Back—back, o'er years of ill,
My heart flies to that happy place,
Where it is Summer still!
Yes, though like aero leaves on the ground,
Our early hopes are strewn,
And cherished flowers lie dead around,
And singing-birds are flown—
The verdure is not faded quite—
Nor mute all tones that thrill—
And seeing, hearing thee to night,
Intny heart ‘tis Summer still!
Fill up! the olden times come back.
With light and life once more I
We scan the Future's sunny track.
From Youth's enchanted shore,
The lost return. Through fields of bloom,
We wander at our will s
Gone is tho Winter’s nngry gloom—
In our hearts 'tis Summer still!
