We immediately saw the game that was to

merited the severest punishment; but the nullifi-

spoke the sentiments of the entire North; and
that a connection with people entertaining such
sentiments was a source of most appalling dan

And sir, if tho promises assumed by gentlemen
in this discussion be correct, that tffe Botanic
theory and practice is founded in error, surely
the members of the medical faculty, whose
path has been illumined by science, have noth-

these letters, entire; and an extract from the

same kind; and we assure our subscribers, lhat
our papers are directed, put up, and mailed at
principle as a permanent part of our sys-
tf'm. This sudden conversion, this instantane-
0as transformation of violent enemies to a pro
active tariff into its zealous friends, proved that
5 ^ir opposition was not in reality directed a-
>2inst this system. They had ulterior views.

INDIAN HOSTILITIES IN FLORIDA.—
An Extra Georgian, of the 10th instant, pub-
lishes a letter from the editor of that paper, uow
a volunteer in Florida, from which it appears
that there are Indians in the neighborhood of
Picolata, the place which the Savannah Volun
teers have undertaken to defend; but the town
had not been attacked, at the date of tho letter,
the 7th instant. A party of Indians had killed
a white man, about seven miles from Picolata.
Tho inhabitants of St. Augustine had com
menced picketing their town.
The following particulars are from a volun
teer who was in the action:
“Gen. Clinch’s army consisted of212 regulars
and 550 volunteer militia, who left Fort Drain
29th Dec. and on Monday the3lst by daylight,
arrived at the Wilhachoochee river and found in- j
stead of a ford, as reported by the guides, a ra-
pid and deep stream and crossed over 7 men at
a time in a canoe—the regulars first crossed o-
ver and marched back from the river about 400
yards and there posted themselves; tiiey remain
ed quiet lor two hours--the Indians were march
ing down the hammock to the river for tiie pur
pose, no doubt, of preventing tho crossing of the
party of volunteers, w hen thecentinels posted in
the edge of the hammock by Col. Fannin dis
covered them, fired, and Col. F. when marching
his men to the hammock, retreated to their
li ,es, and received u tremendous fire from the
Indians.
“Col. Fannin at the head of them, returned
the fire and charged the hammock, by this time
about 25 of the volunteers came up to the battle
ground from tbe river—Gen. Clinch then also
came up, again charged the hammock and the
Indians were dispersed. 14 dead Indians were
discovered, but no doubt many more, (supposed
50,) but were removed, as the slaughter must
have been dreadful among them, the regulars
having fired 1000 rounds of ball and buckshot
during the action. A small party of Indians
had fired on the volunteers on the banks ot the
Wilhachoochee, which was returned and 3 In
dians were found dead. The action between
the regulars lasted about 70 minutes. 4 regu
lars killed, 50 wounded, of volunteers 4 wound
ed. Gen. Clinch received in his cap and clotli-
in" several shots, and his horse received 2 shots.
The battle ground was peculiarly favorable for
the Indians.
“Late in the day Gcn.'Cjmch found no good
