■ Savannah, February 8. A The three story brick house in Brough .flb ton-street, opposite Lego’s Hall, belonging to the estate ot Col. Steele White, was m yesterday morning, about 11 o’clock discov ■ ered to be on fire—and was with consi- K derable difficulty extinguished. No person resided in the house, and there cannot be a W doubt that it was produced by an incendia ■ ry. The combustible materials had been H placed within a drawer in a closet, on the Sk second story, and close to the partition be- M tween the front and back rooms, between the lathing of which it had ascended. A negro boy a runaway, is suspected as the author. Tiie damage is estimated at six ■ hundred dollars. We believe the house is K Insured by the Charleston Marine and Fire Insurance Company. wf —QO&— FLORIDA. f The Governor of Florida, congratulates B the legislature in assembling, for the first time, at the new seat of government. He f states that a treaty has been concluded with Q the Florida Indians, by which, with the ex 'ception of a few tracts, the whole country B is surrendered—that they are all concentra f ted in the peninsula between the Atlantic I and the Gulf Stream, by which the safety f of 'cavellers is amply insured—that a re jS form in the judici try becomes todispensa r ble, and likewise a general revision of the I Statutes. Preparations are making to lay 1 out. a new road between Pensacola and St. W j Augustine, for which purpose, we umler -2 stand, twenty-throe thousand dollars have been appropiiated by Congress. His ex cellency says— f “ Until lately no part of North America i j waft so little known as the interior of this V country. Visitors who had taken a Iran si * cut view of the extremes of East and West ly Florida, had pronounced it a bank of sand, J not worth the money paid for it. Ignor ance is commonly the cause of misrepre i , sentation. Now, it is believed by many, / that Louisiana has not more valuable land than this I’erritory. The lands on the banks of tiie A|rpalatchicola river are as fertile as the banks of the Mississippi, and the cli i , mate is belter adapted to the culture of su gar and sea island cotton. The greater part of the country between Suwanee and j Appalatchicola rivers, is extremely rich and I ! valuable, and will sustain a population of many thousand souls, while the rich lands of Alachua, west of the Appalatchicola, will unquestionably render Florida, at no distant period, a rich and powerful State. “ The bold and navigable rivers which run through our territory will be of more value than mines of gold. Besides the ri vers already mentioned,'several others are equally navigable. The St. John’s can be ascended by vessels of considerable bur v then for 160 or 170 miles ; the Ocklucky is J navigable for large boats, as are also the St. Marks and' Wakulla rivers. The Cliocta watchie and Escambia rivers are now navi gated into the State of Alabama. A few /years will demonstrate the value of Flori da to the United States, and thousands of Southern planters will realize in tins coun try that wealth for which hitherto they have toiled without success.” [fVash. Gaz. -*0999^- The discovery of the blood-stained arti cles of clothing, which we mentioned yes terday has naturally excited considerable en quiry. The initials upon (be shirt, agree with those of Mr. Akchieai.u Graham, a planter from Camden County, who sold a lot of cotton in this city for SIOG, last week and proceeded with it, on Thursday evening for Effingham and Bulloch Counties. Ap prehensions are entertained, from this cir cumstance, that he may be the unfortunate owner of the articles found, and who has been murdered. Geo. —<jO©— Rufus King, Senator of the U. S. from New York, declines a re-election. An elec tion for a successor was to take place on the Ist instant. A Salem paper says that at a late meeting of the Overseers of Harvard University in relation to its mode of education and discip line, Judge Story made a speech “ over three hours long.” “ Solid men of Boston, make no orations.” &c. 03" In our last “ isminus of Florida” was inadvertently writ ten for •* Peninsula of Florida.” GEOR ES!!
