Iftbere be a reader of the Globe Dtm' fapr. acquainted with fact, who can upp.,.ss atcornful lapghat its perversions aod falsehood, it must be because he is a confirmed cynic, or that he knows F. P. Blair, the corrupt editor, and expects to find neither candor, or trath in hia prostituted sheet, la an article headed, "lodi. ana, her laternal Improvements and her politics," that piper pretends to witness eur growing greatness "with pride and pleasure" and calls Indiana ha"Yuung Giant" and nhile it enjoys an income of $ 100,000 per annum, for belaboring "the party," and defending the 'spoils" under vetoes, which confine the expenditure of the peoples money "to placet balow ports of entry" (or to the pockets of hirelings and office holders,) it claims credit fot its followereon account of our own liabilities and expenditure! This dissimulation is glaring but it does not stop at that it claims the State far its master fan Buren, who caused the Jvalo, and who is known to be oppeeed to all our vital interests!! The article alluded U adverts to the Van Buren caucus of office holders. Deputy Post Masters and others, convened at InJianapolis on the 6th ef January, to impose Van Bare a upoa the Jackson party, when it i notorious that some ef the Games reported ef certain counties, have go exigence, and many of the names re psrted and ia existence were at their pro per homes. If the people of Indiana bad perfect knowledge of the Van Buren tricks aod impositions, he could not receive one thousand votes in the State, and as it is his followers know he has no chtnee against (he upright patriotic and enlightened Harrison. The people of In. diana have had some experience of the spoilsmen11 they know that W ii. Harrison is, and has ever been, their friend and if delusion in relation to 'his worth and standing can be spread abroad by uch instruments, we rejoice to say its influence at home is mainly confined to the venal and the corrupt. Indiana must be eafo for Harrison, aod Blairs humbugs ore perfectly Aindersleod. To say the contrary to tail, is in our opinion, a slander sjpoa the patriotic and the intelligent, at our approaching elections will detneoetrate. The venal creed of Van Buren is known and the present course of his leaders pats us in mind ef a certain Tavern keeper, "down East," who was a real old faihiooed "Yankee." One evening a coach with its genteel taasates drove up to his door in fine style and enquired, "Is this the Clay House, Sir?" To which an affirmative answer was given, and the guests were soon fur Dished with the best accommodations. Not long after another vehicle was driven up, and the passengers having given a loud huzza for old Hickory, inquired, "Is this the Jackson House!" To whicb'.lho Landlord quickiy replied, ''certainly, certainly, we go the whole here," and they too soon alightad. But after they were comfortably disused of, some of the bystanders inquired "How is this, Landlord! a Clay House one moment, and Jackson the next?" "Never tniad that, never mind that" aid the Landlord with a very shrewd leek, "when 1 was a Utile shaver I learned always to change iteps when the fun urned. "We have given in the first page of the Gazette of to day, an expose of the address ef (he Van Buren Convention, to the freemen of Indiana. The strongest and most violent Van Burenite must admit that it is an able document and its length should not deter any person from giving it a perusal that is all we ask for it.

Frota the Charleston Courier of March 8. From St. Augustine. ANOTI1KR BATTLE WITH THE INDIANS, MAJOtt DADE, Hia OFFICERS AND MEN BURIED. Theschr. S. S. Mills. Capt. Southwick, arrived here this morning from St. Augustine, by which vessel we received the St. Augustine Herald of tbe 2d inst. and also the followiog extra slip, dated the Gih lost. OJice tke Herald, ) ST. AUGUSTINE March 6, The express rider started from this yesterday morning for Picolate, and returned last oight.be states that he was shot at by a party of Indians 15 or20 in number, as he supposes; three of them fired their rifles, the balls passing through the top of his cap. He started again for Picolate, and arrived safe this morning. A negro man belonging to Mr. Paccty came in this afternoon, reports that he saw nine Indians at his master's house, about day-light this morning; their tracks are teeu on (his toad in several places; aod scouting parties have been out, but owiDg to lha numerous jungles aod thickets, and their activity, it is very difficult to intercept them, and as yet none of them have beeu taken. An alarm was given in the encampment of volunteers about two miles from town, last night. It is said an lodian was eeea and tired upon by one of the sentinels, and also by the officer ot the guard, and chased for half a mile, when he escaped into a thicket. We make the following extracts from tbe Herald: Gen. Gaines, we learn, had joined Gen. Cliuch with 1100 men on the 24th Febiuary from Tampa Bay via the upper crossing of the Withlacoochee,and had started back again for Tampa with U days provisions, bv the lower crossing. We un derstand that Gen. Gaines came through the scene of the massacre of the gallant but unfortunate major Dade's command and that (hey found and buried the bodies of 7 officers aod 93 men. It is supposed that seven of this fated band had crawled ofl and perished ia the neods,or were taken prisoners. The ceremony of cousigoiog them to their graves is represented as solemn and impressive, and the effects produced upon those present are such as never will be forgotten. Every officer was recognised. The Indians had not tukeu their clothes nor their jewelry. They had taken away their arms and belts, but had left the catridge boxes. An express arrived here fiom Pacolata this afternoon, from whom we learn that it was currently reported there that Gen. G. had a battle at or near the Wilhlecoochee, on his return; that the first day, the troops and the Indians were ou opposite sides of the river, and that on the night of the third day, the Indians attacked the camp of Gen. Gaines, and that there had been forty of our troops killed and wounded. We believe the report to be true, though we have no knowledge from official souices. P. S. Since writing the above we learu officially, that Gen Gaines had been attacked on the night of the 29th February, by about 1500 Indians, as he supposed, aod lifter two hours hard fighting he succeeded in heating them off. The loss on our side is 4 killed and 20 wounded, among (he latter two officers, General Gaines is in a dangerous situation, to use his own expressions, "his wounded are increasing and his horses decreasing.1 He is short of provisions, and entrenched and surrounded by the enemy. Another letter says When the cannon opened, the savagea began a "terrible

howliog," aad no wonder, for ! am told

that all tbe trace chains belonging to the wagons were used instead of balls, aod literally mowed them down like grast beneath the scythe. Two'of ourofficen were wounded io that engagement one of whom, it is understood, has since died Gaines has since sent io to Clinch for provisions; butafterwardscountermanded the order, as the Indians would capture the wagons. He is Understood to be surrounded. His provisions must be gone and unless a reinforcement has been sent by Scott, his fate and that of hit gallant army are sealed! Another letter, dated 10 o'clock at night, says The Express, Munroe, came io to-day from Picolata, with diipatches; but nothing further is heard Irom General Gaines. One hundred and forty men from the country adjacent to the Outhlacoo chee, had gone to join him aod cattle, to to what amount 1 do not know, had been driven down at the same time. The officer supposed to be dead, or mortally wounded, is Lieut. Izard. I was wrong in laying that Gaines had approached Fort Drane it was Captain King. On Friday last, Jim, a free black, and Carlos, a slave,' went in the country in the neighborhood of Palatka, to drive in some cattle for Mr. Salano. They bad collected 15 head, anJ were returning with (hem, when, in crossiog a deep Creek, they were surrounded by a party of ludians, 22 in number, and made prisoners about noon on Sunday . The Indiana trav elled with them until dark, when they en. camped, and killed a beef, and feasted, ung and danced several hours, they all got to sleep, and the negroes made their escape, and arrived in (own on Monday oight about ten o'clock , having travelled through the woods all (he way, and avoid ed every path. Jim states (hat he discovered very recent Indian tracks at one place where he crossed the road, which induced him tostill keep off into the woods and to travel through the swamps and ponds. Jim has resided among the Iridians for some years, and has a thorough kuowledge ol their language aud customs, to which be attributed his escape, and that of Carlos his companion. He practised considerable duplicity with them representing his willingness to go with! them and be their slave was glad to get with them again aod joined io their songs aod dances. I his threw them oil their guard, aod a little occasional ad vice ' to his companion how to act, enabled them to make their escape. Jim says that they were boastiog of their exploits, and told them of their killing Mr. Woodruff, Llenovar aod Hatch. I be Indian who killed Llenovar L Hatch,

near ncoiata, had a crooked leg, but does his lite. Many a bloody field can attesl not know his name. Tho one who killed Harrison's achievements, and emblazeu Mr. Woodruff at tbe Spring Garden, was his fame aod glory oboad. Kentucky has known by tbe name of M'Keoiie, the soo'wou laurels with him aod under hiut; he of a hall breed ol the same name. They 'always did her brave sous, living or dead, stated that they received information of justice io the field and justice iu his re-

the battle at IJunn Lawtoa and that Ben Wigoios had killed six Indians, and they meant to have his scalp. They also expressed a determiuation lo shoot Jack Forrester, who was also engaged in that battle, because he had deserted them and joined (be whites. They stated also that 100 soldiers had been killed at Wythla coocbee, and the lodiaos had takeu away their "big guu" and chopped the wood work to pieces with ao axe, aod burnedjt. They enquired how many people were at St. Augustine, and how many at Pacolata. They had seen a gun boat go up the Si. Johns riveraud had fired several guns into the swamp some distance above, where they were. It was with some difficulty that they could be prevented from shooting Carlos; they had discovered him when he rode ao express lo camp King, and they at tempted to cut him off, but could not succeed. Many doubt the (ruth ol these statements, and think these are mere embel lisbments to this adventure, but we are inclined to believe them;lbey are too particular to be false. We have heard the tale from Jim's own lips repeatedly, and with very little variation, and none in tho more important details. Twocompaoies of 80 men each were immediately ordered to scour the country in that direction, aod it is to be hoped that they wilt not be permitted to escape. Capt. Elmore's company of S. C. Vol unteers and Lieut, Irving' company of U. S. artilery, accompanied by Capt. Confield, U. S.T. E.LieuU Brumby, sailed on the 27th February, in the steam boat Santee to estalish a depot at Volusia. On (he return of the Steamboat she was tired upon by a party of six Indians about five miles above Palatka. Ooe ef the balls lodging in the captain's berth. The fire was returned by those on board, but without effect. This, no doubt, is the same party who took the two negroes prisoneis, on Saturday last, as it was but a few miles from their etcarapmcui, and only two days afterwards. General Bull, of the S. C. Militia, arrived in town on Sunday last, and immedi ately assumed the command of his brigade We regret to learn that ibe measles had broken oul in Capt. Parkers company of S C. Volunteers, stationed at St. Joeph's. Twenty-six cases had occurred; but we are happy lo state that they are all convalescent. The Steamboat Dolphin, Capt. Fennoyer, with two companies of U. States troops under the command of Mnjor Kirby, sailed oo Tuesday last to take post at Williams1 plantations, oo the Hallil'ax Kiver, for the purpose of establishing u depot there. Captain Fripp'a company of militia have just returned from a scouting expe-

ditioa.baviog travelled the fix Mile Creek Road, as far as Pacety's and en their re turn, the advance guard saw five Indians in (he road on the edge of a (hick swamp. They were tired upon by the guard, which was returned by the Indians, who immediately returned into the thicket and escaped. One Indian waswouuded; he was seen to throw away his pack, and limp off. We are informed that seventy wagons are waiting at Picolata, to convey provisions to General Clinch, wbeso supply had been much diminished by tbe quantity taken by General Gaines, fiotu Fort Drane. A mo'inted RegimeotofS C. Militia may be expected to arrive here in all ibis week. The Herald states that some wrong impressions had obtained currency respecting the discharge of the Florida inilitia.

Gen. Eustis has authoiized the editor to say (hat his order did not contemplate the delivery of a single musket. He also desires thepublic to be tutured that it was in a spirit of kindness and respect that his communication was made to Gen. Hernandez. An express had arrived at St. Augustine, from M'Rae'i, who states he saw a large number of Indian tracks near Golconda millf. Gen. Euatis immediately ordered a detachment of troops to acour the country in that direction, a part ol whom went by water aud a part by land. We invite the attention of the friends of General Jackson to the following ex tract from a speech of Mr Harden of Kenluckey. "Van Buren claims the Presidency as a paternal estate by decent; he urrogates to himself, by a magical kind of inheritance, the glories achieved by Jackson iu the late war. The paily cannot meet to do any thing for him, unless it be on the 8(h day of January, the day when (he Western hunters won the victory at Orleans. 1 do not know whether it is most calculated (o excite our laughter, or iodig'nation aod contempt, al seeing tbe gioiy obtained on that day traoiterred from the West to New York a Stale, dm inc our revolutionary war. only lamed for lo. Uies. Js there any scene in the world so ridiculous as to see Van Bureu's friends 'place him before the people as (he war !paity candidate, and denounce Harrrison ami his friends us pusillanimous, coward ly, and leady to betray their country Harrison, who spent his youth, his man hood, aod the prime of his life, in camps and in battles, in fiie and in smoke, com batting in his country's cause? As for Van Bui en, he never smelt gunpowder io j ports to the War department. Io Ibis approaching election the world will bear witness that Kentucky, amongst her othei great virtues, boasts tbe proud one of gratitude. I know that one of her sons, in whom she is well pleased , has been se. lecled to run on the Van Buren ticket for the Vice President. This is a new Fork manoeuvre: it is a sop lo Jowler. Kentucky w ill not bile at the bait. We would delight to do honor tothe candidate for Vice President; he has also won hi fame in deeds of noble daring; but he must recollect that if a man marries a woman below him he elevates her to bis level; if above him; he brings her down to his own caste. So is the fate of the candidate for Vice President. The can didate for President on the same ticket regulates the votes altogether. The following nominations by the President have been confirmed by the Senate: Amos Kendall, Post Master General. Roger B. Taney , Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, U. S. P. P. Barbour, Associate Judge; Andrew Stephenson, Minister to England. John H. Eatok, Minister to Spain. R. K. Call, Governor of Flurida. And a pretty mess of them there is! THE MILLENNIUM. We perceive the following in the Albion of Saturday "The Rev. John Wesley preached on the 4lh of May, 1788 in the parish church of Bradford, on which occassion he stated his conviction that the millennium reign of our Saviour would be io the year 18We have reason to believe that this zealous christian minister who perhaps labored more extensively and usefully than any other man since St. Paul the Aposlie, imbibed this opinion from the Rev. Sir George Stonhnuse, (he learned and pious author of the (realises on "Universal Restoration," with whom he was on terms of sincere friendship aod intimacy, although he never adopted his learned friend's opinion of the eventful termination of future punishment. Sir George Stonhouse predicted, from a very elaborate exposition of Scripluie prophecies, that the millennium would commence oil ibe Gth of June, at o'clock in the morning; and (hat it would commence in the United Slates of America, whiih at the lime he ivrote, had j'ist achieved their independence and present form of government.

A decided Van Buren man, recently a member of the Legislature, said to us the other day; thai alihongh he had opposed (be U. Slates Bank when it nil a nation? al institution, because General Jackson waged war against it, ho was not fool euough oow (o commence a (birty years1 war (o please any man. He had once let his fidelity to party lead off his better judgment; but he should not do it again. He also said that such was tho determination of his political fneuds io hia neigh borhood. The gentleman who made the above voluntary asaerlions, we know (o hnve been one of the most zealous and influential supporters of Gen. Jacksou'e Administration iu this Stale.
