S. Dragoons, about 30 in number, under Capt. Beall, scouting in the neighborhood of Han Felasco, iice.rNewiians ville, discovered an Indian trail, which was followed up, and while in the pursuit, were suddenly attacked by a gang of Indians cstr mated at about GO. Capt. Walker, of Ala chua County, acting as guide, was in the ad vance, and was mortally wounded, and died in a few minutes. The fire was kept up for some minutes with spirit on both sides. Six of the dragoons were wounded. They suc ceeded in driving the Indians a short distance into a hammock, where the force of the troops was too email to follow them. Two Indians wore found killed, the dragoons retreated in good order, bringing with them the body of Capt. Walker. While retreating, the Indi ans came out of the hammock, and commen ced firing, but at a long distance off. Capt. Dade, ol the Dragoons, with his company, had gone towards the Okefenokco Swamp which was the reason no more force could be procured. Capt. Walker, was, we learn, much estee med by all who knew him, and his Irps is greatly to be regretted. He lias left a widow and several small children. Here is another widow and more orphans added to the list of savage butcheries. We offer her our most heartfelt sympathies for her bereavement; and commend her to the “father of the fatherless,” tor support and consolation under tins afflic ting dispensation. Melancholy Accident.—A sail boat while on an excursion of pleasure (Saturday afternoon in Ashley River, opposite Houlh Bay was suddenly capsised; then two of four persons m the b at were drowned.

From the Frontier. a Correspondence of the Troy N. Y. Mail. tr Niauara, June 25, 1838,3 o’clock, P, M. )l Sir—There are so many rumors afloat conccr l, ning the slate of things upon our frontier and it - Canada, which arc entitled to no credit whatov 3. er, that the balance of truth will be found on tin i| side of him who disbelieves each and every ont S) of them, while p,t the same time there arc sonn positive facts which are tangible, and doings that are visible, which, when stripped of all exaggera tion arc a sufficient occasion lor serious appre hension to individuals living upon the frontier c and emphatically so to our government. I visit 11 ed Quoonslon yesterday morning and on landing from the small boat, which plies between Lewis -8 ton & Qucenslon, 1 was unexpectedly accosier 11 by a sentinel, who finding I was not a resident matched me off to the station of the oflicer in com h maud, who demanded my residence, business, &c - &c., with all the formality of the most rigid non s intercourse instructions. After being satisfied of my peaceable intentions towards the Queen, 1 f succeeded in obtaining a passport. So much for i our social relations with the provinces at the pre sent time, , 1 confess I was ashamed at the miserable show ( °f force which a few straggling United States soldiers presented at Lewiston. Out of four that ( 1 met in the street, two men absolutely drunk and reeling, in need of belter aid than the other two could apparently give them. If Governor Marcy cannot command better moans of guarding our interests in this quarter than these miserable efligies, 1 am both sorry and ashamed. 1 am not r an alarmist, but there are indications in this quar ter which ought to he weft and immediately look, ed to, and if demands ore to he made upon us for “piracy and outrages” of which the British au thorities complain, as in the case of the Sir Rob , C| t Peel, it may he well for us to have at hand ’ the instruments of appeal to Justice, as well as ' the means of defending the dignity ol our nation | al character.

The stock market to-day was firm. For midsummer the transactions wore largo. U. Slates Bank shares ruled al 121-. My advi ces from Philadelphia assure me that no move has yet been made by the banks of that city I towards a resumption. F.xeltange stood on 1 Philadelphia at I* per cent. There was but Jill.to doing in foreign cx changs. The rale on London, fixed by the Bank ol America, was 8,1 premium. It is thought that largo orders will go out in the Sirius ler goods. I) so, the demand to mor row lor bills may raise the price. No im provemenl manifest in domestic exchanges. Some inquiry is made fur Alabama. The Tennessee Union Bank has made ar rangements with the Girard Bank to redeem all its notes payable in Baltimore, Philadel phia or New York. Nolicc has been given that such redemption will take place at the Girard Bank. Let all holders ol this paper look to it, and not sacrifice their interests. The commerce ol Cleveland, Ohio, is on the ascendant. For the twenty-four hours preceding the 20 h hist. 08 canal boats heavily laden with produce came into that port. Their value is little short of $lO,OOO. During the month of May ihc value of the , produce received at Cleveland is placed at one million of dollars. It is confidently er , peeled that the declaration for the present ■ month will bo larger. I For the week ending 32d of June, there were cleared at the Canal Collector’s Office, Buffalo, 18,935 hbls. of flour, 29,300 bsn., of ■ wheat, 1014 hbls. of pork, 138,710 lbs. of hull ter and lard, 319 bbla. of ashes, 403,590 ths. of slaves, and 103,000 lect of lumber. The 1 tolls, during the same period, were $9,923. This activity on our grand canal will increase ' as the fall combs on. The Richmond wheat market is all active. Dealers are shortening the time of delivery, i Parcels arc offered at sl,oodeliverable by the l 25th of July. The price of present crop flour > is dull at $7,50 per barrel. 3 The politico money market is quiet. Ills natural it should be after the high excitement • which lias prevailed for the last nine months. 1 Before, however, the public mind could reco -2 ver from the prostration occasioned by the - excitement attendant on the defeat of the i Sub Treasury bill, Mr. Buchanan, slave-like, 3 brings up in the Senate a special deposits bill - equally abominable with its predecessor. Js . there a design to force that measure through - Congress before it rises? 1 feel assured that 1 the immortal 125 heernen will meet the quos r lion boldly and rebuke the St. Pctersburgli i Senator for bis presumption and arrogance. - What will be the fate of Mr. Webster’s bill 3 to repeal certain portions of the Deposit law, 3 is entirely problematical. The slaves of the s dominant party possess sufficient power to t defeat it, and I fear they will be prompted to f such a course through revenge. As the I’vc - ning Post declares, the Sub Treasury system ■ is in operation. Whether it shall remain in . operation, depends upon the people at the , coining elections, They must return a Con ) gress sufficient to carry any measure for the 3 ro-estabiishme’U of the currency and a proper fiscal agent, by a two thirds voice. If they ■ do not, the nation will have to wait till 184! i sure enough.

Foiii leu's .Sr at km ns r. On the 1 ‘ morning of Wednesday, the 13th lime, at 'f* about 8 o’clock, 1 left Savannah in company "J with about7( others, Indies and gentlemen, 'J most of whom were residents of that place, ’ in the steamboat Pulaski, Capt. Dubois, for 1 Baltimore, via Charleston,—at which latter J - place we arrived the same afternoon about ft J , 0 ' clock. It was a beautiful day, and all on j hoard were in high spirits, enjoyed the sail ve. ry much, ami were delighted with the boat, which seemed to possess every thing calcula ted to make one comfortable at sea. r At Charleston we remained nil night, ami e on Thursday morning nt G n’click left that t place with mi addition of ahuu 80 more pas t sengers—numbering, with tie officers and r crew of the boat, nearly 2lty souls. The r weather was pleasant all day, with a fresh 5 breeze and some sea; —and, asis usual on the i lirst day out, the greater part cf the passcii l gers wore a little sea sick, and some retired • to their berths, or lay listlessly about on the ■ settees upon deck; —and when evening came, r most of them had retired. Ivvrsone of the - number Hint did not feel exactly well, and ■ went to bed in the after cabin about 8 o’clock; —and hod slept for some hours, when 1 was • awakened about 11 o’clock by a bud report, followed by a ticnienJous crash —My first im pression was, that we had gone ashore, or had run into some vessel. It did not occur to me • that the boiler had burst,—and finding myself 1 uninjured, I dressed mysclt entirely, putting my watch in my pocket, and taking my hat, and from the pocket of my cloak a light cap, which 1 put into my hat, thinking it would be of use in case 1 could not keep my hat upon my head. Before 1 had finished dressing, a person ran down into the cabin, exclaiming, “The boat is on fire —come up and bring buck ets, to extinguish it.” This person, 1 believe, was Mr. Sherman Miller. ? never saw him afterwards. 1 immediately started for the deck, and as I approached the cabin stairs, found that a number of the planks ol the cti bin floor had been lorn up,—and as it was quite dark in (he cabin, there being but one or two candles burning, 1 came near falling through into the hold. When I reached the deck. I found that the boiler had burst. The contusion was very groat—men and women were running from one part to the other—some calling lor their , wives, others for their husbands. On going : forward, I found I could got no further than - the shaft. Beyond that, as far as the wheel i house, all appeared to he in ruins and in dark ness,—and at every roll of the boat the water . would rush in. There was one solitary lau ! torn near me, and this I lashed to the ceiling. In doing so, 1 saw a person among the ruins of the engine trying to got on', and moaning and crying aloud—“gone— gone—firemen help me firemen help me.” In a lew minutes some one came to IDs assistance, and extri cated him.- This person, 1 afterwards learned was one of the firemen. 1 then went aft. again, and with some others assisted in remo ving some of the rubbish in the gangway, for at this time, I think no ouo supposed the boat would sink, ami wo thought it best to have as i clear a place as possible on dock. But wo i soon found this of no avail, —for the water i was rushing in rapidly, and every one began to turn his attention to preparing something to support himself upon the water,—such as lashing cettces together, ami tables, itc. < v, c. A negro was discovered preparing something of this kind, and on heingasked what ho was going to do, said, “1 am going to try to save my master;” appearing perfectly regardless of himself. The 2 quarter boats wore lowered into the water—but when, I do not recollect, though I have an indistinct remembrance of seeing one of thorn lowered by two or three persons The boat, now appeared to be sinking pretty fast, and J climbed to the promenade deck, Uhe only way to get there for the stairs were at the forward part of the boat,) and there I found same 40 or 50 persons many of whom were ladies. There was also a yawl boat which was filled with women and children, and among them the family of (j. B. Lamar, of ISavannah. Himself and two or three other gentlemen were standing near the boat to keep it in an upright position when the promenade deck of Hie steamboat should sink, which, as the boat had broken in two m ftho middle, it had begun to do.—and one end was already immersed in the water. For the purpose ol assisting in keeping the boat upright, I took hold of the hows. The water was now rush ing on deck rapidly,—and the forward part of the promenade deck sank so fast that the hows of the yawl boat filled with water—and a wave washed me from rny hold ami f sunk. When I rose, 1 f ound myself near a piece of plank, to vvliicb f clung' but Ibis not being large en ough to support me, i left, it—and after get ting from one fragment of the wreck to ano ther, (and the water all around me was filled , with fragments,) I succeeded m finding a piece large enough to support rno sitting,—and up on this 1 remained some ten minutes, —and look off my booty and loosened my dress—for , my clothes wereso lull of water that I could scarcely move. While upon lifts piece, I saw near mo Mr. ttco. Huntington of Savannah. Hero 1 will , mention what, was told me by a person (Mr, Eldridge, of N Y.,) who was upon the pro menade deck after i was washed from it. lie says that nearly all the females in the yawl boat were drowtjed at the tnng it filled, and that as the hull of the steamboat towards the engine began to sink, the promenade deck gradually separated, and when the whole bad sunk to an angle of nearly 10 degrees, leaving the stem high above water, the promenade deck broke oft'a lew feet forward oflbe wheel, and llic hull completely turned over and came keel up,—throwing those persons upon it (rna. ny of whom were females) into the water. A number ol them regained the promenade deck, which afterwards served them a, a raft, and | upon which twenty lour persons found ihem ■iven the next morning—six it whom succee : d‘ C in getting ashore m a boat which wuj picked op, and seven were lakru off liy the ' -dtv. Henry Harnerdmi The remainder arc ’ ] aid to have died from exhaustion, 'j Aft. i removing* my boots, I remained quiet ■me 10 m I > iiini'it' , when I beard .mm |p icon > .filing out not far ft rn/mc, and co.i eluded they were in one ol the boats; but upon inipiiring found it was a pari of the ladies’ ca bin, (the side,) and Hint there were two per sons upon il, (Andrew Stewart and Owen Gallagher, deck hands,) and that there was room enough for another, and that they would lake me upon it if I could get to it, but they had no means of coining to me. I knew the onty chance of safety was to reach it, and I made a desperate ellbrl, and succeeded, by swimming, and by getting from plank .to plank, which wore scattered all around me, in reaching it and was pulled upon it almost exhausted. This piece ol the ladies’ cabin was then about 10 feel wide by 45 feet long; but in the course ol the night we lost 10 or lf> feel of it, —leaving ns a piece of 00 fee! in length. Upon this we sat ad night, with iho water about a foot deep. The wind wss blowing quite frcsliin a di rcclion towards the land, and our raft being long and narrow, made very good progress,— and in the course of two hours utter the burs ting ol the boiler, wo were out of sight of the wreck. About this time wo discovered ap - proaching near ns n portion of the dock of i the steamboat, with an upright post near the centre of it—and upon il wore Mr. Goo. Hun tington and two other persons. They said they were all from Savannah. We lashed the two rafts together with a rope which they throw to us, —but linding that the sea dashed our rafts together with consi derable violence, we concluded il would bo better to separate again; and wo did so. Mr. 11. wished mo to take a passage with thorn — but 1 concluded to remain where I was. 1 saw them no more. Friday morning came —and discovered to ns our situation. We wore out of sight of land. Three rafts we saw at. a distance. They were too far oil'for us to discern the persons upon them, but they all hail signals Hying. Upon out little rail 've found a small chest (belonging to one of the firemen, and which afterwards served us us a seat,) two matli assos—a sheet—a blanket—and some female wearing apparel. The mat 11 asses we emtiped of their con tents, and with the covering of one of them wo made a sail, which, with a good deal ol difficulty, we succeeded in pulling up, hut which did us much service, lor by noon wo had almost entirely lost sight of the other rafts; —and in the altcrnoon’iiotliiiig was seen, as far as the eye could roach, but sky and wa ter. But our spirits did not (lag,—for Wo thought that by the morning wo must certainly full in with some fishing boats. Wc bad also found on the raft u tin box—tbo cover gone—con taining some take, wrapped up in a cloth. This was completely salnurlcd wilb salt wa ter, but wc look a mouthful of it in the course of the day, and found it pretty good. There was also u keg, which foaled on the raft,con taining a little gin, but this was ol little ser vice, for by some means or oilier it became mixed with salt water. The night came—lire wind and sou increased—and wc wore obli ged to lake down onr little sail. During the night the waves were constantly washing over onr raft; and the water at all limes stood deep upon it. Wo sat close together upon the client, —which wc lushed as well us we could to the raft—and wrapped ourselves up in the wot blanket and clothes, lor the night air (ell ve ry ‘ cold, after having been exposed, as wc were, all day, to tho broiling sun. , I Wu wore much fatigued, and once during tho night wo (ell asleep, and wore awakened by the upsetting of pur scat, which nearly threw us overboard. Anxiously we watched the rising of tho moon, which rose some hours alter midnight; and still more anxiously the break of day and the rising of the sun, which wc hoped would disclose to our weary eyes the sight, of some distant sail. Thu sun at, lust did arise, but there was no thing in sight. For the first time wo began to fuel a lilllp discourged- -still the hope that wc should soon see land impressed itself,for cibly upon us—and eagerly wo cast our eyes land-ward, every now and then as the sun continued to rise. And, joyful sight! about (i o’clock, wo thought we did see land, mid in (toother half hour were sure of it. Now wo redoubled our exertions; wc pad dled; wc held up in our hands pieces of cloth; wc did every thing to propel our little craft, for we feared the wind might change and blow offshore, and then all hope would be lost; for our raft wo fell sure, could not hold together another day. As wo neared the land, we found the surf was running pretty high, hut there was a, sandy shore, and we fell, no fear of this, lor wc saw the land, and we knew that soon our suspense won,ld he at an end. About 4 o’clock, I'. M. on .Saturday wc reached the breakers. The first breaker came over us with great violence, and so did the se cond, the third broke tho raft into pieces, hut we clung to the fragments, and soon found we could touch the bottom with our (bet; and , in a few minutes wc were safe upon terra-fir- i ma, considerably bruised and sun-burnt; hut with our lives. And grateful did wc feel to that Almighty Arm winch in the hour of dan ger was stretched over us to save and protect! , And it was only by the mercy ol a.
