Serious Skirmishing.—A gentleman recently from the south informs us, that about the 20th of last month, a party of eleven men, residents on St. Mary’s river, ascended up as far as tiie Saint Tafnell river, near the Tennessee pens, in pur suit of a gang of Indian desperadoes, who have been annoying and committing serious depreda tions on several families in that neighborhood.— These savages who were very numerous, were overtaken by them at the above place about sun down, and a general and destructive battle ensu ed.

PROSPECTUS For publishing, in the town ol Darien, h Weekly News paper, to lie entitleil “ THE DARIEN GAZETTE.” Seated at the estuary of a mighty river, which, dividing about one hundred and twenty miles above, into two capacious streams, affords ready conveyance for the commodities of extensive re gions, Darien must flourish in proportion as the agriculture of the interior shall increase. But a few years ago, that inland country was a wilder ness, ami Darien had scarcely the appearance of a village; the forest having since been partially reclaimed, it now presents the cheering aspect of a thriving town. The obstacles to its further growth, are such as require no very strenuous en deavors to overcome tliein. The roads commu nicating with the interior being almost impassable for waggons, the farmers in general prefer a safer though longer way to bring their staples to the seacoast. A passage for vehicles, drawn by horses, might be completed in a short time, with out incurring heavy expenditure. With such a facility, and a bar all owing easy ingress and egress to vessels of considerable tonnage there will he [ nothing, it is presumed, sufficiently enticing in the old route to divert the trade with the back, country longer from its natural channel. The genius of tiie age, however, renders such an ex pedient almost superfluous. Steam-boats being; about to be employed on the Altamaha ami its two parent streams, the Oconee and Oakmnlgee, up country produce will, in future, reach its pro per mart at less than one half the expense ami in one fourth of the timejneident to land transpor tation. These conveniences once in operation, Darien must rapidly increase in importance, ami yield, at no distant day, in trade and in riches, to few seaports in the southern states. The utility of gazettes in commercial places, and indeed ever) where—to circulate and record the events of the times, to facilitate the views of the merchant as well as to instruct and amuse the politician—is too well understood and generally admitted, to require illustration. Darien is al ready opulent enough, and, with the adjacent country, contains a sufficient number of inhabit ants to support a printing establishment on & small scale ; and the undersigned expecting to further their own interests, as well as to comply with the wishes of their friends, intend to com mence the publication of a weekly newspaper it* that town, about the beginning of October next. Its columns, as far as they will admit, shall contain intelligence, political and commercial, agricultural and statistical, miscellaneous ami w 1 at-oever shad be conducive to the welfare of the rising community. Its political aspect will be of the kind usually denominated republican. The editorial exertions shall tend to support the administration so long as the policy which has re sisted the aggressions of foreign powers, con served the rights of the country, and raised the national character in the eyes of the world, is pursued—and no longer. This deteroiinudnii will not, however, induce the publishers to exclude the productions of persons who may differ with (hem on political points. Temperate ami rea sonable essays, in short whatever tends to elicit truth and expose oppression, (excepting th u lo gical controversies) shall without any regard to tiie writer’s creed, be admitted. The press shall be free. Terms.—The Darien Gazette will be printed with new type, on a royal sheet, and issued eve ry Monday at noon. The price of subs cription «ill he five dollars per annum, payable in advance. Advertisements of one square or less will be charged seventy-five cents for the first in-ertion and thirty-seven and a half cents each successive time. Notices above that size will be charged ptoportior.sbl v ; and no advertisements will he discontinued without orders to that effect from the advertiser. All letters on business to the editors must be post-paid. A. C. M’iNTYRX, JOHN MILLE.Y. Dane-., June 29, 1818.
