tionsfortlie purpose; and welive in hope‘ that
’ in this instance. the wrong will be repaired-
vThe total amount of loss is estimated at over
83000. It will be understood that in the;above
statement we do not include the injury done tlte
various buildings, by the breaking of doors and
windows. This loss tnnst be very heavy, and
‘will fall tipon the owners of houses. '
In regard to peculiar cases of suffering, we
' can state they are nurneroris. Twenty-rtine
families have been more or less afflicted by this
1 llawless attack upon their homes. There are at
least one hundred .and twenty-two individuals
I composing those fatnilies, seventy-nine of whom
are women and children, and the greater part of
these have been deprived of all clothing, save
those articles they happened to be wearing at
the time of attack. _ Many individuals have not
a single article ofproperty remaining. VVe feel
it to be-our duty to mention some of the most
flagrant cases whichhave fallen underour notice.
, A worthv and unoffcnding citizen was sitting
A in his chamber, engaged in reading, when the
rioters drew him to the window. He had jitst
‘time enough to run down stairs, and to bolt the
door when it was assalied, and in a few ‘moments
broken open. Every thing in that house is now
in ruins. Not a single article escaped, for so de-
termined were the assailants. that even a cooking
stove was tltrown down and broken in pieces.-
Every bed in the house was cut open, and the
contents thrown into the street. The occupant
ofthe room lost over $200 in cash, the rioters
seizing the money.
Another person, who likewise had taken no
part in the disturbances until his own premises
were attacked, lost his stock, valued at $500, to-
gether with nearly $500 in cash, the greater part
of which was -in specie, and all his furniture.
This man was honest and aged, and wltile de-
fending‘ his property, was seizerl and dragged to
prison as a riolcr. After remaining there twenty-
four hours. he was discharged.‘
In the discharge ofour duty of investigation, it
seemed to us that at times, a kind of vindictive-
ness was displayed, which we could hardly have
supposed to have existed in this community, had
not the pruofsofit been before oureycs. Cloth-
lng was in many places found torn into shreds ;
the newly made shoes of asltoemaker,'had been
cut irt pieces ; tables, chairs, feathers, crockery,
(cc. (Sic. had been thrown iutoorteconfuscd mass.
Tlteie was likewise, as we liayc already stated,
a disposition on the part ofthe riotcrs to take mo-
ney. An honest laborer was robbed of 81:32
which he kept in .a box at home. the result of
many years’ earnings. As a last example ofthe
tneluticliolyclflctsxiftltis affair, we farther state,
‘that a tailor, ltis wife and child,_wcre deprived
.]irc.rally of every thing, the husband being in
Cltarlestown iliiring the whole of the riot. Not
merely was their clothing destroyed, but like-
wise thedresses belonging to his employers were
wantonly tortt up.
In conclusion, we feel it to he otir solemn dirty
to state that the great majority of the srill'erers
knew nothing about the funeral which had taken
\;lace, or of the fact that ntty di.-rtitrbatice ltad
arisen between art_v classes ofottr citizens, until
a few rnorrieiits bcforc their own dwclliiigs were
attacked.

THE FLORIDA WAR.
\Ve publish the news from Florida of the re-
newal ofthe war on the part of the Indiaiis.--
Misfortune they say itever come alone, and to the
troubles wliiclt every where surrotiud us, wciare
to add the horrors of an Indian war at art im-
mense sacrifice of blood and treasure, and at the
very moment when we were told that the war
was ended. VVe are entering into the third
year of this Florida war, brought upon the coun-
try by the neglect and indifference of Gen. Jack-
son. who was too busyin electioneeriug to devote
any time or attention to tlteprcrcnlion of an out-
break wliich has already cost the people ten
millions of dol_~la,rs,i:E1"t,,"le.ztst, a sum which would
now save ‘poor laborer and mccltanic
from starving. How much more money it will
cost-—ho‘v long before this new war may be
ended, and -how new lndian wars may be the
consequence. ’cannot at tliistime be foretold-—but
the peopl,efarg_ sick and tired oftltis niisrnaiiagc-
ment—tltis want of common sense and common
discretion in terminating a contest in w liicli whole
armies have been contending with 2560 savages.
\Vlicn the chiefs catrneintp Tampa, and the traits-
ports were ready to_;r_ec_eive them, why did not
Jessup send fortl_iLwith“ on board? \Vhy keep
them in camp, give them rations, amuse tlicni
with ltunting matches and wa_r dances, until their
people compelled tltein to rtin off into the woods
and renew the war '.l The day they came into
camp, that day they should have been sent on
board ship, for the people without their chiefs
would have been unable to-have reorganized.
\_Ve2‘ suppose the government will find it ne-
cessary to send General Gaines to terminate the
war. He scents to understand the manner ofit
better than Gen. Jessup, who has permitted him-
self to be caught in it “bad box,” by ntisplaccrl
lenitv and confidence ig the Indians.

and fled to their coverts. A body of about 200

J. HAWLEY’S VEGETABLE
ANTI-BIL IOVUS PILLS.
BEING compounded entirely of Vegetable
Materials, and are free from any mercury ;
itor do they contain injurious substances. They
are entirely composed ofcxtracts fr"om- rare and
powerful plants, the virtues of which, t.l-tougli'
long known to several Indian tribes, W re not,
until recently, known in this country. No pill
has, or ever can be offered to the public of supe-
rio_r efficacy as a catliartic tricdicine. The pro-
prictor of these pills is sure their virtues are
sticlt that no person, after having tried a, box,
would on any account he witlt_'out'. them, unless
indeed, as may be the case, he should ever after
enjoy a state of perfect, uitititerrtiptcd health.
Tltcse pills are found to be a most certain and
effectual prc.vcntivc.of' fevers, jaundice, bilious
and other cholics, and indeed, of all diseases
caused by obstructions or alfectioiis of the stom-
ach, liver, spleen or intestines, For liver and
stontaclt coinplaints, and all diseases connected
tltemivitli, such as liypocltondriasis, liysterics,
dyspepsia or iutligestion, loss of appetite, head-
ache, girlditiess, no remedy can be found
m0r0s Or cveuso ell’-.-ctual as these pills ; and for
fever and ngue, these pills are a sure preventive.
Also for salt-rlicuni, these pills are a sovereign
remedy. They cleanse the stomach, remove
therefrom all vitiated bile, purify and refine the
blood. \Vill never fail to eradicate entirely, all
the effects ofmercury infinitely sooner than the
most powerful pruparatiotis of sarsapitrilla.-
Does a person feel 11 loss of appetite, rind a bad
taste in the nioutli, with rt fuintness or hollow-
ness of the stomach, ‘ti few (loses of these pills
are sure to remove all such difficulties and
speedily set inattcrs to right. .If one feels a
particular ltcaviness, is dull sleepy, and sluggish
in action, with or without ycllowness of coin-
plcxion, these pills will surely and speedily rc-
utovc all such ttiltnents. It is not pl‘Ci.Cll(.lC(l
that these pills are a certain cure for all dis-
eases ; that they will cure, without the use of
tiny other tneans, a confirntcd consumption, or a
settled fever ; but it is pretended, and asserted
ivitliout fear of its over being contradicted, that
even in snclt cases, no other calltartic medicine
can be given with better advatttagc, and that the
titnely use ofthesc pills in-iy prevent the occur-
rence ofany such formidable ilisenrc.
These pills are to be taken at bedtime cvcry
tiight, for :1 week or fortitigltt, according to tire
disease. The usual dose is frotn three to six,
according to the COllSlll.ul.lOn of the person.
They usually operate within ten or twelve hours,
and veryseldotn give pain. They may be taken
by the tnost delicate, under any circumstance.
The proprietor dccuis it unnecessary to add
to this a long list of recomm -ndations of great;
men, or of fictitious names, as is sometimes done
to client; the unwary, nor of'ccrtifictites of cures
performed. He knows the value ofthe pills to
be such that he wishes them to stand or fall by
their own merits, and will only add, try them and
be cortvinccd, and then you will say, one half of
their value has not been told. ' '
