narrative of her “'ravel’s history.’’ '
She was the wife of a German emi

by fatigue and despair, a stranger,

some of the passengers determined to
make lip a purse for the unfortunate
and interesting stranger*. It being

(should be rang— a meeting of the'eabm
passengers called, and a collection tak

cabin it became tiecessa’ry that the
business df meeting should be stated.
'Ro one sebmed willing to “take the
responsibility.” At length, at the re
quest of several of the passengers, a
“gentleman in black’* who was pre
gumed to be a clergyman, from his
gravity of face & manner, was induced
to make the requisite statement, which
he did briefly; as follows:

sufficient tb manage “Uncle Sam’s

impossible for Post Masters to keep

to draw two feet and a half of water,
and yet to carry 600 bales of dotton on
her deck which when the wood-work is
added, will be upward of forty feet
wide. Her burthen is 370 car

The schr. S. S. Mills, Capt. Smith
wick, arrived yesterday morning from
St. Augustine, furnishing ue with the
Herald of the 21! inst. ' ?
It wi'fl be seen that Gen. Gaines had
encountered the Irdians inconsideia
ble force near the Ouchlacocchi e.
r j he particulars of tfie engagefifobt,
are, given in the following letters from
our correspondent,dated. y
St. Augustike, March 5. *
Dear Sir.— You are aware that Gen.
Gaines approached within four or five
miles of Fort Drane —took eight days
provisions, and returned to the Ouchla
coochee, for the purpose of discovering
, whethe r any Ind ians wereon.the prowl.
On arriving at ttra’Tst'ream his passage
was disputed by a body of savages
amounting, it is surmised, tofifteeri
hundred—a fight commenced across
the river, which although narrow is
deep and rapid—-and continued two
days, neither party gaining apy mate
rial advantage. The third day Gen;
Gaines retired, and threw up a breast
work—after w hich he advanced to the
river with two hundred meh, recom
menced the skirmishj and then fetrea -
ed with a hope of deceiving his enemy,
and decoying them into an ambush.
After dark on the same day, the entire
body oflndians;now largely re-inforced
by the arrival of scattering squads,
crossed the and had the bravery
to attack him in his trenches. The
stratagem was; then successful—the
cannon opened upon them, and played
tvith such effect , that it is presumed
three hundred Indians and Negroes
were killed. Isay, presumed as it is
not known whether that number wag .
destroyed in the single engagement
or in the entire rencontre. When the
cannon opened, the savages began a
.“terrible howling,” and no wonder", for
lam told that all the trace chairig
belonging to the waggons were tfsed
instead of balls, and literally mowed
them down like grass beneath the scythe#
Two of our officers were wounded in
that engagement—one of whom, it is
understood, has since sent into Clinch
for provisions; but afterwards counter
manded the order,as the Indians would
capture the waggons. He is under
stood to be surrounded. His provision®
must be gone—-and unless a reinforce
ment has been sent by Scot!/his fate,
and that of his gallant army, are sealed.
I was in Camp, between this and
Hanlon’s when Prince, the Expre s,
came in; the Indians having attacker? > /
him in true military style,within eleve’
miles of this; and Ordered him to ff &
