those pourtrayed in Sampson's Narrative, have
not unfrequently occurred since the commence

to justify the gallant Harney in adopting the me
thod of retaliation, so happily carried out by his
command in their expedition to tho Evcrglodei

Narrutlve of Nanip«on
An Indian negro, who escaped from the Big Cy
pres* Swamp, East Florida, August 2Tith, 1841.—
It is raid liu belonged to Colonel Humphreys, and
was captured at Micanopy. Ho remained with
Oscoln, until after tho liuttle at Fort Mellon; when
the battle occurred, lie was on tho Ocklawnhn, near
Fort King*, soon after, lie eamo in at Fort Mellon,
surrendered, and continued alternately with Gener
al JoMiip, and Colonel Ilurncy, until December,
1839, when ho accompanied Colonel Harney to
the Caloosuhatchie, witli 17 Dragoons, Mr. Dal
lam, Sutler, and liisclerk, Mr.Morgan. Unsays:
"I rleptintliu Sutler'ftstore when wo wcrcnttacked
—the two last mentioned persons wero outside,
one inn hammock, tim other in a sort of hunk.
Wo talked that night of crossing the river to an In
dian dunce, hut two young Indians told its not to
go, ns thu Iiidinns wero all drunk. Just at the
break or day on the following morning, I heard flic
yell of Iiidinns nnd the discharge of rifle*. Iran
out, nml found the Indians in the midstof us. Mr.
Dallam lay dead under hi* hammock, and Mr. Mor
gan was dying, but continued to talk for n long
limn,when nn Indian placing a rifle rlose to his head
fired; slit! he talked, when they knoeked him in tbe
head with a pine knot. As I ran for tho river, I
was wounded in the leg, which disabled me, whon
the Indian* brought me bark. They took tho Car
penter, who had been working for Mr. Dallain,and
the captninof thu sloop prisoners. Thu former (an
Englishuien) was wounded. Soon after, I raw
approaching Billy Row-legs, wkhScrg't Simmons,
of the Dragoon*, whom lie protected near three
monrhs, wlion, by n council of the Chiefs, Sam
Jones and thu Prophet, ho was put to death. The
Carpenter was kept four days, when he was shot.
The Indians continued about tho Camp four days,
in n state ufiutnxicntlbn, crossing and re-crossing
the river, whero tlio plunder obtained by each in
dividual was overhauled. No division took place;
all that each obtained in the strife lie secured. The
specie fell into tha hands of one Indian. Tho day
following the fight, a soldier gave himself np to tho
Indians, who yet wero banging about the camp.
His feel wero severely cut with oyster shells. The
Indians took Inin to the Cypress, requiring him to
do thu olfircs of a squaw, and he was sentenced to
death by the sunn council which condemned Sim
mons. They not willing to wnste the powder, it
was decreed to knock his brains out with pine knot*
Ilo was accordingly sent by the women to gather
some, nml when out, the men and women fell upon
him nml beat him to death with sticks. The Eng
lishman was pursued, his fate was never known.
Ho accompanied a limiting pnrty—straying from it
hit was lost; tho Indians do not know whether lie
died in the woods or rejoined the whites. Colonel
Harney, with his command, was encamped about
a halfinilo from tho sutler's store. Tho confusion
was so great, aud I so frightened, I hava no know
ledge of wlmt occurred thure, other than what I
learnt from thu Indians; they supposed they killed
(Nil. Harney, ns they designed doing so, knowing
ho slept on shore for tho first time I heard mi
Indian (olio of Hospitalko'snieii) any tlmt ho had
counted tho day before, every umu in camp, and
that each one was killed dend iu his lied; tho cmnp
and sutler's store wero attacked nt tho sumo mo
ment. llospindko led tho attack upon the store,
Cltcki-ka upon the enmp. Tho entire band of
both was thou,numbering in all 200 wnrrlors. One
keg nml canister of powder, aud $K*0Q iu specie
were obtained,together with a largo quantity of dry
goods, The rifles being nf Colt's construction,
were blit of little use to them; they left ncnrly all
of them upon the ground, after taking off tho
locks. These Indians will protect au Englishman
or Spaniard. Chckl ka mid his lnnd came round
the const in bouts. 1 was (rays Sampson) put in
a small sloop, on tin* afternoon of the day of tho
fight, and sent to the opposite sido of tho river,
whero this sloop, which was left by Col. llarnev,
was burned. With tho liquor which tho Indians
obtained they continued intoxicated four days,
after which Cheki-ka returned by water,und Honpi
talkn by land. Billy Row-legs was active in pro
tecting tho prisoners, and very kind to them. The
Indian* proposed several times to kill ns all, but
through die interposition of Row-legs and Cotzar
e-niartli-lo-g we were saved. Soon after wo re
turned to dm Cyprus*, Sam Jones arrived from
Key Biscay nr, where Col. Ilurncy had retained
him a prisoner, hut from Ihs sssiiraurc* to Col. II.
that he would aid him iu fighting and finding tho
Spanish Indian who attacked him on flic Calosn-
hutclio, bo was permitted to return to his people
with a talk ftom Col. Harney; this lie staled in
Council. From him I learned tlmt Col. II. was
not killed os was expected.
I have been iu and about tho Cypres* near two
years, during that period T Ituvo not seen a white
man, other tlmn those who were captured with me.
Thu Indian* watched me constantly, and once re
solved ih council to kill mo. I determined to improve
the first opportunity to run. Waxe-IUdjo’s camp,
with whom 1 was living, was on the border of tho
Cypress. Preparatory to Ills leaving for the grent
council, which was to bo held by order of Sam
Jones und the Prophet, I was sent to the Corn
fields, distant twenty miles, to obtain our supply
for the journey. Instead of going there, I took flic
woods, and the next day, struck the trail leading to
Haruey'shuttle ground, where I arrived, expecting
every moment to bo overtaken, after being out
three days aud three nights, without food for my
self or horse. The object of this council was to
adopt some measures to stop tbe Indians, who were
coming in to tbe whites, then on the way, and those
who were disposed to. A law was |>as*ed two
years ago. that any who communicated with tho
whites, should be put to death; and any Indian who
ventured among them with a message, should never
return. Scouts were organized, their
designated, and plans adopted to’convey in tho
most rapid manner, tbe approach of the whites.
They feared the approach more from tbe direction
of the Caloosohatchie than any other point {they
did notapprehondtheirouemy from tho Everglades
daring tbe month* of May. Jum, July, August,
September or October. It was understood in coun
cil, that as the jr coold not fight w they had done,they
would now jirt oner tutdllun run, and improve eve
ry opportunity to ambush their
Five kegs of powder were obtained at the too*,
acre on Indian Key. Cbeki-ka had n share of it;
out of the portion allotted to Sam Jones, there is
now remaining two kegs. When going to fight,
e ich warrior can have a horn filled, but for the pur
pose of hunting, it must Ire purchased from the
chiefs, giving a large hog for three or five cliarg-
Handy, an old negro interpreter, was deliber
ately shot on the second day after the minsacre of
Col. Harney's camp. His adherence to the whites
and hostility to the Indians were too well known.
Tho commencement of flic Dig Cypress Swamp is
1)0 or 40 miles south offlie Caloosahatchie.or from
fort Deynaud extending within 20 miles of Lake
Okechobee to the Gulf; towards the lake it runs
into a wot meadrnv; on the Gulf it terminates in
thick mangrove bushes, uninhabitable for Indians.
Between the swamp and tho Caloosalintchie, the
coantry is a wet pine barren, occarionaiy dry isl
ands. On the South, it is bounded by the Ever
glades, through which the Indian* pass in canoes
to the great coontic grounds on thelAtlantic. south
of the Miami river; a belt of land from five to
eight miles wide and twenty long. To pnss direct*
ly through tho swamp to the Everglades from Fort
Keas, which is upon the north margin, the distance
ia nbout thirty miles. Dud south of tho Fort, in
the heart of tho swamp, is the council ground. S.
E. and 8. W. from fliisare the towns of the princi
pal chiefs. Sam Jones’ (Ar-pe-i-ka) village is dis
tant twenly-flvo miles south-west. Otalke-tlilocko,
the l’rophnl, is within two miles of him. H os-pi
lal-ke’s town was near the Everglades, south of the
council ground. Par-sockcs, twenty-five miles
south-east ofit. Trails communicate with nil of
them. Not nn Indian trail loads to or from Fort
Keas. The Indians have carefully avoided it,
knowing it ivould be tho first point to which tho
ichile man would come. Tho entrance from tho
pino barrens to tho swamp is twenty miles further
south cast. Within the swamp there are ninny
high pine islands, upon which the villages arc loca
ted and Mi-ccptihle of cultivation. Between them
H a cypress swamp, water from two to three feet
deep. Many liuvo cultivated outside towards Lake
Thompson, as tint land and exposure to the sun
insured hotter crops. The Iudiun’a first rclinuce is
upon their crop—pumpkins, corn, beans and peas;
next root*, coontie and berries; gumo they are in
a measure deprived of, as powder is retained hy
die chiefs for their defence. When troops nre in
thu vicinity, they reveal their hiding places hy the
discharge, which in a country so wet cun be heard
a great distance. Fish, when tho streams on the
coast can he readied, afford them subsistence, blit
the movement of troop* deprives them of this lux
ury. There arc amongst thorn a largo number of
pouie* und horses, some hogs mid a few cattle.—
Tho dry good* obtained at flic masracro and bar
tered by those who obtained a large quantity, clothe
them il* richly as they dcsiro. The specio has been
sold und manufactured into silver head bands,
breast-plates, or gorgets and bracelets.
Among the Indians from there, I liavo scon
more rich ornaments than among any Indians
in Florida. Even in this murderous and lamen
table massacre, in which they stood by each oth
er shoulder to shoulder, tho Mine avarice and
selfishness governed ull their actions. No commu*
nity of feeling exists, and nothing hinds them to
each other or their purpose hut the feudatory man
date* of Sam Jones and the necromancy nf tho
Prophet. Much dissatisfaction exists umong them,
hut they have no nicniw of conniving at an escape
or getting out of the reach of tho scouts which arc
constantly on tho ulert. Their laws aro imperious,
nml if detected in tho violation, death is inevitable,
without tho benefit of judge or jury. If ono over
eviucesau iucViuafion favorable to the whites, the
Prophet soon visits him or her, and by various
tricks with root*, n blow pipo and watur proclaims'
tlio designs of tho individual, in some cases iustanl
death III* followed.

Mncno the 17th June and arrived this morning.—
We have received Letters and Papers to the 15th
Juno.
Tho previous news is nil confirmed. Tho Chi
nese hud paid-up the ransom money for tho redemp
tion of Canton, and tlio British fleet, except a
frignto and slop-of-war had left. The Emperor
snid hi had permitted the Uarbanieins to depart, giv
ing them tome ‘ chow-chow" for their lost opium.
Tho British wero determined to keep possession
of Hong Kougnud to introduced Trade there and
to ttinkuita rival port of Canton.
Notice is given in tlio Canton Register hy Capt.
Elliot, that a sale of tlio unuual rate of quite rent of
100 lots of land having water frontage, will tako
plucout Hongkong, on Saturday, tho 12th June,
nt 10 a. til., us also of 100 town or suhurhnn lota.
Tho dimensions of tlio respective lots wero speci
fied and defined on the spot by tlio commanding of
ficer of engineers, to whom parties wero referred
for fiirlhor particulars.
No man, rays the Canton Register, of tho 15th,
knows whether England will retain Hongkong; she
certainly will not if sho does herself justice iu thia
qtturrul; nothing short of n legalized trade with all
tho ports of the empire can now satisfy tho English
people, who will never bear to see the once mag
nificent China trade dwindle down to the transac
tion* of smuggling entrepot on a hare rock; the
people of England will ask, and must he informed,
why tlio port* of China aro not opened to their
trade; why tbe empire itself is nut opened to Euro
pean sciuuco ami civilization, to christinnity aud
christiun morality,
The titles would he delivered on payment of the
rent, und tlio minimum valuo of tho huiklings to
bo erected on tho Iota, nml tho period allowed for
erection, would also be then declared.
Wo shall bo curious, says the Register, to sec the
title deed* granted to tho purchasers of land on
Hongkong. So shall wo be,
The Chinese nre picking up their courage. The
Cnuton Register, (English authority) says that,ow
ing to some irrcgulnriiie.* committed by tho troops,
Pie villagers round Canton, to flic number of some
thousand*, attached tlio 37th M. N. 1., ou tho 30th
ultimo, und other partsof the forces on tho 1st inst.
It is raid they behaved with astonishing daring; that
they rushed on the square of the 37th and speared
the soldiers in tiicir ranks, while some of them were
buyonaelted. Ouo Chinese spatched a musket out
of a sipahi’s bauds, fired at and wouuded nn officer
of the 37th.
The English iu China complain much of the re
sults of tho expedition to Canton. They ray the
ransom paid is their own uioucy, and tha’t America

accomplish little without your co-operation; for

that »uch a rrUirnto Canton, was neither safe nor
desirable! Ttius, the English cannot conduct flieir
trade iu a ransomed city, but tuercUauU of other
nations can! It would thus seem that the city was
ransomed far the sole purpose of throwing all the
British trade into the bands of neutrals., asut 1839

money; for about 170,000 peculs of tea have keen

My Dear Sir—many of our friend* feci the grent-
CHtcuutidonco that wo lend the Whigs in the aggre
gate vote of tho city nt the close of tlie polls to day.
At the best they scarcely lead us, and we claim flic
county with a reasonable confidence.- There is a
fine spirit abroad. A slip from Onondaga gives,
in 12 towns heard from, the first day, 557 majority.
This promises well for the 7th District. Our uc-
count* are highly favorable throughout die line of
the canal, as far west as Cayuga Bridge. Yours
very truly.
From the Albany Artur.
The State of the Polls.—About half the vote of
this city was thrown yesterday, owing to the facili
ties ollorded by the increased number of election
districts, and tlio euse of access to tho polls. These
tin* Democrats at least divide with their opponents,
and they have only to maintain their ground to
carry the county if not tho city. Tho aggregate
vote, in the several districts stands 2,639.
TIIE FIRST DAY,
Wnsgallantly fought by the Democrats. Incon
sequence offlie division of the city into a grent num
ber ot wards, and the division ofsome ot tho wards
into election districts, uu unusual number of votes
were polled. Notwithstanding the desperate exer
tions ofthe office holders, the democracy met them
at every step, with their characteristic firmness and
energy. Fvery thing looks well for the good cause.
Let tins day nnd to-morrow bo distinguished by the
same zeal ami spirit outhe part of our friends, and
the county is safe.—Argus.

The students ul Old Yale have been creating a
disturbance of a very serious character nt New-
Haven, and have disgraced themselves by an out
rage upou public property which is attended with
public danger, and at the same time unjustifiable
and infamous in its character. It appears tlmt on
Saturday last the Fire Department of that city turn
ed out with their eight engines for inspection nnd
review. An attempt was made to try the power
, ofthe machines upon the Central Church, for
ni - • which purpose it was necessary to lay two trains of
here across the npper Green, but the students who
were engaged in playing at foot ball uponflie Green,
determined tint the tio.-e should not he laid across
the Green, and iu the face of the public authorities
who had nsseiubled to witness the performance,
successfully kept possession orflie Green, and drove
off the Department.
But the quarrel did not end here. Soon after 12
o’clock on Sunday night, a gang of students, in
disguise, made a rush upon the engine house, and
almost entirely demolished a beautiful machine,
called the Washington, which was entirely new,
and ornamented with a beautiful portrait of the Fa
ther of his country. About 260 feet of ho«e were
also deliberately cut and destroyed.
While this was going on, the city watch rallied,
but were assailed with brickbats and other missiles,
and so overpowered by numbers that their services
were iuefficisnt, and it was not until the alarm bells
were rung and the citizens began to torn out, tint
the rioters dispersed.
The College Faculty view these circumstances
with deep regret, and have come promptly forward
