Savannah. Feb. 11 We understand that a violent Tornado was experienced in Liberty county on Thursday last. It passed over the plantation of the Hon. John Elliott, and destroyed almost every thing in its way. It blew down the Cotton Gin House of Mr E. in which there were thirty-seven negroes, who were occupied in gining cotton. Kiled one and wounded severely thirty

Many of them are so badly hurt that thev will be unable to perform manual labor for some time to come. Such was the violence of the wind that it blew two bales of cotton across the river, a distance of many yards. Capt. Clark of the sloop Sailor's Rights, arrived last evening, from the coast of Florida, on a wrecking voyage He informs us, while on coast of Florida, on the 6th inst. he was attacked by a number of Indians and and with much difficulty escaped that he afterwards understood that the attack was made in consequence of news having reached that county, that the Floridas had been positively ceded to the United States ; and, that the intention of the lndians and-- was to commit all the depredations they could against the Amercans. Capt. C. also understood that number of these desperadoes, have been for some time committing many outrages : and that they would continue to do so until they were driven off Their intention was then, to embark for the British West Indies. This information was given to capt. C by a deserter from the party who was compelled to give himself up by long thirst and hunger. We give this, as we get it without vouching for its correctness. From the Indiana Oracle. LAWRENCEBURGH, March 7 Trial for Murder. The Circuit Court for Dearborn countv closed its session on Saturday last-- the whole of the term was consumed by the trial of Amasa Fuller, on an indictment for the murder of Palmer Warren Few trials have excited more general interest, as well from the character and appearances which led to the prisoner, as from the ciieumstances which led to the atrocious deed. The circumstances were briefly these: Fuller had, for some considerable time prior to the murder of Warren,, been attentive to a young lady who was residing with her uncle in Lawrenceburgh ; about the last of November, 1819. Fuller left this place for Brookville; while there, the unfortunate deceased commenced an intimacy with the young lady to whom Fuller had been before attached; their intimacy resulted in an engagement of marriage, winch was to have been consumated on the fatal 10th of Jan. 1820. It appeared in evidence, that about the middle or last of December, Fuller, then at Brookxille, receivcd a letter in the hand writing of Warren, and signed by the young lady, enclosing a ring, in which she renounced all feelings of attachment towards him, and returned him the ring which she had received from him in pledge ; that after the receipt of this letter. Fuller appeared gloomy and melancholy. On Friday, 7th January, he left Brookville on J 7 foot, and arrived in Lawrenceburgh . r . in the evening ol that day ; after . . .. 0 , n , changing his wet clothes (having i 1 . . . :. .1 u .. - rained) he went into the house of

Warren's office is under the same roof with Coburn's hotel) Fuller went down stairs, and shortly after came up saying, I have shot it off and no person heard me. Fuller loaded the pistols with powder and four slugs each Hitchcock told him he hoped he had no evil designs-- Fuller replied,- I have not, but I will shew you some fun." Fuller then put on a greatcoat which he had borrowed

from Mr. Coburn. and feeling if it had/ alt lutuls too J; to the mast I. tad' or pockets, he put one pistol in each/ safct; af cr being theic r.Lcm i u.f pocket of the coat, and walked down/ an Ik.iii, she v.s Loe on Lt r i-tr.i stairs, leaving previously asked Hitch-/ ciids and tintc men y.erc washed cock if he could discover that he/ ovei 1 ard li.i!
