j seized him. tied him to a tree,and •‘lynched” him
with extreme severity. During the operation a
man named Parker stood looking on and exclaim -
ing, “Give it tu him. Ido lias the money! Ho
is the thief, and will soon confess ii!” ’The
I lynohuis found, however, after nearly killing their

was at length released, lorn, blooding, and unable

Four Kink, E. Flar. Aug. 1. (
Siu—l have, as usual, hut lit Ile news to com
munieole. Last week two soldiers wore killed
by the Indians, in tbe vicinity of Fort Micanopy. (
They had gone out without the permission or (
knowledge of the commanding officer. Several
recent murders have occurred, at various points
on tbu frontier, and it is compulcd that about ■
t3O persons have fallen by tho rifle, since General '
Jesup relinquished iho command of the army.
Not more Ilian three or four persons were killed (
by Indians, during the whole time Gcneial J. (

tempting to open negotiations with,the Tai. -1 j
sea Indians. And there is some prospect, as
am informed by the express who readied here ; |
last night, of making a tolerable grab, and of I g
bringing the war to a close/ In fact, the war [
must soon terminate of itself, for “want of otii- [,
j cers,” as General Taylor has lately reported to
i the Secretary of War. It will scarcely be believ- ,
I ed, that junior 3d Lieutenants have lately been j ;
1 in command of two companies, mid dial a junior ] ,
i Captain now commands the (ilh Infantry, and I t
j there is scarcely one ollieer per company. Gen- i |
etal Taylor can with propriety complain of a j
want of support at Washington; and it the I
troops are idle, it is owing to die absence ol ,
1 ; seven eighths of the company, and die tick! |
1 i officers, with the exception of one Lieutenant
. ( Colonel, Hawes. This ollieer and Colonel !
Gales, have been more active and performed 1
more duly and meritorious services in die field, [
than all Iho other field officers united ; yet we j
sen certain persons selected lor “Brevet Coinmis- |
sions” to n liigher rank, who remained about six i
t months in Florida, and performed but the ordi- j
f nary duty expected Horn them. “Fair play is
t a jewel of inestimable value.’
Had tho officers been with their proper regi- j
, inents and companies in Florida, several hundred ;
I men would have been sent to the Okefanokeo a
I month ago, and given protection to tho inhabi j
, tanls in that quarter; and their presence would j

I 1..! following 1 t«*r, dated <?'.ockhuUn, 23vh
June, and published by the Eat is Jjw'uul Do
iiebatt, affords s .toe eutious facts respecting the
, discoveiy of America: —
I “Thu important question of knowing whether
lor nut any intercourse hud exislei between
\ America and the Old World, previous to the
| voyage t f Columbus, has ju»l been solved in the
: affirmative, thanks to lire active and conscientious
• inquiries of a young Swedish historian, M. Tula
. sum. 'This gentleman, with the role view of
elucidating the point, repaired two years since to
j Iceland, where he foil (1 several manuscripts of
the tenth century, which staled that two naviga.
o s front that Lland, Bs.crii Hcrsuefson and
I Leif Erllisnti, had discovered Ametica in the
heginnii gos rhat century. 'Those manuscripts
a description of the country round Cape
IVmd, I,f Martha’s Vineyard, of New England,
' j aim of Nova Scotia, hut particularly of the Islands
I of Naragansetl Eay, where those navigators and
their companions resided during three years,
"M. Tolsoin, distrusting this written evidenre,
to America and visited himself the
therein mentioned, to verify the accuracy
oW!io Icelandic description, which he found per.
(*fac'.ly coircct. He was not however, satisfied
with this. Ho wished to obtain further proofs,
, so as to place the fact beyond doubt. Ho wished
| to discover in America some material evidence
of the existence of former relations between tiro
ISe'.v World and Europe. Ho accordingly con.
tinned his journey, and had the satisfaction to
find on rocks, situated In the district of Assorted,
near the river Taunton, in the Sjaie of Massa
chusctls, inscriptions entirely written in Scandi
| vian.or Khunir characters, and setting forth the
t amca of Ice endi; nnd Norwegian warriors, who
had established u camp in the country. Unfor
tunately, they contained no date, but the struciuro
ot the characters clearly demonstrates in Folsom’s
opinion, that they must have been engraven as
early as the bill century. He observes, that
Christopher Colombo-having visited Ireland, in

Money Market—(Tty News.
Wednesday, IJ.1 J . M. ,
It will be seen that Stocks are all up again to.
I day. They have been gradually rising lor some
i lime; but to day they have taken ijuilo a jump,
i j i he old spirit and eagerness for malting money,
I although they have slept lor the last year, only
slumbered, and ate now becoming as active asev
i er. There is every evidence, the moment there
is the least chance, ol opening, that the spirit of
speculation will appear with all its former vigor.
It money should again become plenty na from
, present appearances ii is likely to be, and there
should bo the ease and facility to bonovv money
oii Stocks that there formerly was, it is not un
liked y we may see the same frolic in the Slock
; market that was seen two years ago.
Within a day or two past I licit u has been a vis.
i j 'hie difference in Pearland other business streets,
! an d <juito a number ol iruders from the south,
particularly Irom Alabama and Mississippi have
appeared hero lor the purpose of laying rn sup
plies ot goods. None row come hern to pßrebaso
goads, unless they have the cash, or havocredetUj
lials ot undoubted ability to pay. Many c ijJfr
old merchants that were in high standing a year
or two ago have failed, and aro closing up (heir
concerns; and many others are yet so much pur
' alizod, that they have no desire to do business,
i here arc olticrs, however, who have gone
through tho dillicullies that surrounded them vviili
out serious injury, and these with many new linns
that have been recently established, are ready
and disposed to do business. Tnoy have largo
assortments on hand, and although they sell with
camion, yet they sell pretiy largely. Tho recent
airivals ol packets Have add„d to our supplies
■ | particularly ot hardware, the assortments of vv hich
! ale complete. The southern merchant .there,
1 who has til'll ‘-*r S»oJ credit, will find n^tlli.
i cully now in obtaining every assortment m into
j maiket. Exchanges, the great u.'.','' r ier to credit
j sales are also rapidly changing tor the hotter.
Merchants generally stipula’o that payment shall
be made in funds equivalent to Now York mon
ey; and as southern funds are approximating
more and more to par, arrangements are entcied
into without the fear that was entertained a few
months since, that the difference of exchange
would ho ruinous.
The bills of tho Michigan Safety Fund Banks
aro no longer received by the Detroit banks. The
reason is, says the Advertiser, that the persons
, depositing such notes in most eases demanded up
on their chocks the best of chartered funds. The
consequence was, that a lai go amount of those
safety fund notes had accumulated in the several
institutions. As long as business men in MichU
gan and abroad persist in making a distinction in
the bills of the different banks, it is vain fur the
institutions in this city iaieceivo them indiscrim.

The Now York Herald of the 2nd has tips fol
j lowing remarks in relation to the Money market
■ ’The confirmation by lire Philadelphia papers
«f I l ' o purchase of the bonds by the Dnited Stales
j Bank has created quite a lively feeling in Wall
j street, anj .'•8 the new banks are about going into
J operation the liuTYtmcy of hope runs very high,
j the ellect of which is seen in the operations at tiro
j slock exchange. The numberless contradictory
| reports made by several papers on the operation
j of the new banks, all agree that the ellect will be
j to make money plenty, by drawing towards us
i foreign capital in the development of lao.T opera
i lions. But we conceive the movement of iVIr
Biddle, in the purchase of tho bonds against the
bank, will have a grcaicr tendency to ellect this,
by wiping away lire suspicions which have been
cast on the institution by the non resumption po
sition in which she has so long persevered, and
the removal of which was all that was necessary,
j at our last advices, to render American securities
i Iho choicest in the London market, and which
j this voluntary proceeding on the part of Mr. Bid.
! die will not fail to do; in which case, as the coin,
j inunicalion is now so quick and curtain, the great
I difference in tho rate ui interest, which now ex
| ists bolwecn New York and London, can no lon
| ger bo maintained; nor can any man or body of
| men raise money in the London maiket at 6 per
j cent, on securities, the reputation ot which is yet
| to be established, whether under the bank law or
j not, and rclot it here at (i or 7 per cent, in oppo j
sitien to those stocks which have long been con**
1 sidered the first in the world. Tho season for
| operations ot this kind has past, and the New
York market will hereafter be the scene of trans
| actions tor the London capitalist (o as great an
tutent as has heretofore been lire case in the Koyal
I Exchange.
1 ’J hese institutions now going into operation
are looked forward to by business men, in (be
hopo that, through the competition anticipated j
i between the new banks and the old, the labor \
I may be driven into a more liberal policy than has
, 'utterly marked iheir course. Our city dealers
arc ii. 1,10 ot selling on 6 and 8 months ero

1 but subsequently the notes id hto applicant were i
' done at 60 days, depositing the first offered notes 1
1 ns collateral—yet money is said lo i? 'cry pTa.. |
ty. Now cither the merchant must cu 1 down

customers who cuino from a great distance, will j
operate nearly as cash, or a more extended policy j
i mutt lie pursued in the discounting of notes, J

Several years ago, he had a difficulty with tire fne
* lute Col. William Archer, of Powhatan, whidt &
j terminated in a duel. It was not thought ncccs- &
’ sary at that lime to leave the Stale to settle vuclr fy
affairs, so they respectively selected two neighbor* O
' as friends, and forthwith proceeded to business, n
j They fought will' pistols, and at tho distance of Ft
r cti paces. The first tire proved ineffectual. B
Col. Archer then proposed, that, ili . or der to avoid f

vance and fire when they pleased, which prupV
aition was readily acceded to on tiro part of-Col; «V
I Povall. At the word, Col. Povall nreiT without s™
