Great Excitement.
TAe Steamer HcAihi Fired Intu—Th? Engineer.
Reported io k Wounded.
In anticipation of the steamer YYe.aka at
tempting to run the quarantine established by
the Town Council, the following resolution. ol- .
tered by Councilman CaJ, was unanui*ousiy
adopted by the Council ■ ,
KtsoteW, That the In tendent be. and ue is
hereby authorized and requested to take ?ucn ' ir
cibi't st€pß as he may deem necessa.y to prevent •
future inhactYots of our quarantine laws an- reg
ulations.
Under these instructions, voxuii.eers were en
roherf. and a battery, consisting or a t wenty-tour
and a brass six-pounder, was piante i on tP.e b!un
in an open lot between the min or Foster
Stevens and Messrs. Mooney fc,Gv akin siounun
and machine works.
The Fort rnysician was then despatched to
the quarantine ground, at Dames Point. with
the warning to Cant. King, that it nr attempted
to pass Jacksonville he would be ..red into. In <
order that the passengers who might be on boa it. ■
should not be exposed to the danger of tn® tire ,
another messengei was despatched to May Port
with a like warning. Ihe passengers, i: there .
were any, were advised to go ashore at both or i
these points. Toe Port Pnjsiciar. and messen
ger were sent down by the steamer Meyers.
We also learn, that Nir. Bisbee, of the him oi
Bisbee te Canova, agents of the U tiaka, accom
panied by Capt. Shaw, of the steamer Gaston,
went down in the Meyers, and earnestly entreat
ed him not to endeavor to pass Jacksonville. His
answer to them was, that he was bound lor Pa
iatka. and intended to go there. His answer to
tbe Poit Physician and messenger was: "You
have done your duty, but I am bound for Palat
ka. i
At eight o’clock on Sunday morning tne vol
unteers assembled, according to orders; establish
ed a military camp, planted sentries and manned
their batteries. A lookout was posted upon the
deck of Messi?. Stevens Fosters mil*, who
was to announce tr.e approach oi a steamboat by
the discharge oi bis market.
The day passed very quietly, very little
excitement being exhibited by either citizens or
volunteers, but a firm determination was evinced
by every countenance, to uphold the laws which
they were called to defend, at any sacrifice.
This determination* w*as not the result oi a sud
den ebullition oi passion, exit that oi settled con
viction, that they were performing their duty
and in full view of the responsibility ot then
position. At sunset an evening gun was fired,
and it was fondly hoped tnat the \S elaka would
not make her appearance —that she had brought
up at the Quarantine ground and would respect
the laws oi the town. Those hopes were toon
dissolved by the report of a musket from the
look out station, and soon the smoke oi a steam
er became visible over the point. As the steam
er advanced she was asceitamed to be the V» e
laka. and the batteries were manned and port
fires lighted, ready for a discharge. As she came
abreast of the battery a blank cartridge was
fired to bring her to, but as she disregarded the
warning the guns were then shotted, and com
menced a fire upon her. It was now growing so
dark tha£ the aim of the guns could not be cer
tain, and the steamer passed on up the river. It
is supposed, however, that she was struck, and a
report has just come in that her Engineer was
wounded by a splinter and cafried ashore to the
residence of Dr. Ashurst, near Phillip's P. int.
The Town Council are in session this morn
ing. (iSth inst.J and wr.at turther measures win
be resorted to. have not yet transpired ; we await
the result.
The following is from the Charter of the town,
granted by the Territorial Legislature, endorsed
by Congress upon its passage through that body,
and subsequently confirmed, when Florida be
came a State.
“ They shall have authority to guard against
the introduction ot infectious or malignant dis
ease, and for this purpose, may prohibit or regu
late the ingress or approach of vessels into the
waters within the limits ot said corporation, and
whenever necessity may compel them, und- r
fixed and certain penalties, to perform quaran
tine, and to observe such other rules and regula
i or.s as the said Council may deem proper by
Ordinance to establish.”
Below will be found the boundaries ot the
town, which, it wi.l be observed, takes the whole
of the ri' er:
An Act to amen i an Act to incorporate the
Town of Jacksonville.
Sec. Ist. Bi it enacted by the Governor and '
Legislative Council of the Territory ot Florida.
That so much of the act entitled an act to incor
porate toe Town of Jacksonvi de, approved 10th '
of Feb. 1841, a-s defines the boundaries of said
town be. and the same is hereby repealed. To
take effect from and alter the approval ot this act, j
zr.d that from and after said approval the boun
daries oi said *.,wn shall be as follows, to wit::
Beginning at a point on south bank oi St.

a Erection from netriy southwest to nearly

Plantation contains 1,500 acres of the very best
land, in said county, most of which is cleared,

The fertility and never failing qualities of Baker
county lands, together with the exemption, in a
great measure, from the 801 l Worm and the Cater
pillar, being so well known, renders it useless to
enumerate the many advantages they possess over
any cotton lands in this State or elsewhere. My
only reason for Selling is to concentrate my plant

my place of residence and business.
tgAny one desiring to purchase the place, had bet
