The following is a copy: "On Board U. S. Sloop HrinUet. 31st August 1429. "We are all lot-a tremndous gale has foundered the ves+-1, oir Galveston heland, about sixty or seventy miles distance." From the National IMfaga:ine and Republican Review. MR. LEGARE. In person Mr. Legare is not tall; but he is stout, his shoulders exhibiting si-gns of strength; his head is remarkably large; his mouth large, eloquent and singular; the under lip projecting in such a way as to give him a stern, but not unpleasing ap pearance; it is rather the sternnesof tho't, than the sulkiness of a haughty man. He dresses well, and is very neat in his Sersonal habiliment, a little lame withal. e is so curious in his physical conforma tion, that we are almost afraid to go on; for though we feel nothing but respect for him, yet we are afraid that our readers would accuse us of caricaturing. Mr.Le gare is striking in his appearance; there is an air of originality about him that makes you turn in the street to watch his retiring figure Hisshori stature-his broad sshoul ders-his high heeled and highly polished boots--and then his hold, undaunted look, mark him as a man in a thousand In de bate, Mr. Legare is animated to the full extent of the word ; he leans over his desk, he moves his brows-his eyes wave about -his figure expands-he rises to the top most height of the imagination-and with a rapid and hawk-like flight, he sweeps to I objects of minor importance, but germain to his topic. His voice is sui generis strong, and almost harsh-full timed and dramatic. Sometimes he flie-' over the heads of his discourse, gatherug strength and beauty as he goes, and anon he settles upon a bold and commanding point, and spins round and round in fanciful but vivi-, fying buoyancy. His order of mind is picturesque and ge.ieral. He loves the nide and wierd fields of human speculation. From the! closet he has emerged upon a buse, me. cbanical, and muscular age, wrap in his own peculiar and individual ma.ie. tie has been a moral speculator among books led on from dream to dreain-fromn majes ty to majesty-until he deems the worldI one widespread and glorious stirface.where in are reflected thestar ol poetry. of beau- I ty, and grandeur. There is nothing rough and unpleasant in his intellect; but there is that which, like the mechanism of the rocket, throws far over the heads of all, his brilliant shafts of rhetoric and eloquence. Mr. Legare-can never be a useful man to the physical condition of the mass, in a direct and immediate mnanner. He can not dive at once into the wants of the inil lioned multitude, but he is calculatedt to shine in the higher walks of-literature, im parting a beautiful tone to letters, and creating the energies of thougni, the daring flight of the ambitious mind. As yet, we do not think Mr. Legare has givenj a full sample of his power in thei Hall. His speech at the extra session was lbrilliant and biahwrought. and evidenced the thought ful composer, more than it did the political thinker. It seemed like. a review uttered by a reviewer; but Mr. Legare is young in politics. It is a hardened and ungrate ful task for a man who has wielded the editorial pen of one of the most spirited and able reviews in t his country, to throw aside that peaceful pen--to forget his fa-| miliar ink--the sanctity of his ekiset--its peace-its melodious silence-andi rush forth into the battle burst of political uipin-| ion-but yet, with his honesty and has a-, bility, he will do good service to the cause of the people. He can generalise in a peculiarly forcible manner, and his opin ions may become the texts of-other and more piractical men. We have alluded to his conniexion with the Southern Review. For mtany years hie labored in that great vineyard of letters, with his intellect ever bright and vigilant. - Frequetntly the publisher would enter his study, with fear and anxiety depicted on his countenance, and irnplore Mr. Legare to furnish him matter for the review, de claring that he had been disappointed in some other contributor, and that the work wvould not be forthcoming, if so many pa ges were not- filled up. The publisher walways left him satisfied that the desired work would he accomplished, and Mr. Legare e' er proved faithful to his need. Glancing around his library, he would take down any work-Plato, Aristotle, Livy, Cicero-any thing-Greek, Latitn, French. Spanish or Itatian ; and the midnight hour woul find him pouring.1 forth one of those brilliant sketches tata so adorned the pages of the Review and modelled it into a standlard of literature. But we must hasten to others who demand: our attention. We have sketched Mfr. Legare at length. becatuse he is, to otur mind. pure and unstainel-a bigh sottled scholar, if not able to lay claim 'to the title of a cunning politician. COLONEL PRESTON.

His sub scriptiuon was nadte in silnrce. except only his st-ting to the secretairy, or some gen tleman by, the sum he wished set down to his name; and which was not $1000.

Bishop Asbury used to call her - the elect lady," (from St. John.) and she it appears was Col. Prestons a grind-mother, and with her hepassed his , childhood." ST. AUGUsTINE, Aug. 1.5. From the South.--Major Richard Ben netn, Paymaster U. '. A. arrived here on Wednesdav from Key Biscayne, iii the steamboat Cincinnati. who informs us that Lieutenant Colonel Harney had.reached that place. after making his escap from being massacred by the Indians at Carloos-i hatchie, with the soldiery, and Mr Dallam and citizens under his employ, amounting to 17 or 18 in all. Col. Harney was lan ded at ihat place, on his return from Tam pa Bay, lut a few days previous to the at tack. He h-id been huntinag wild hogn for e provisioins, and rcturned late at night E very much fatigued, and immediately re tired to rest, and believes the Indians were j not apprized of his return. c About the tbreak of (lay he was aroused t by the firing of guns, and, on going out of , his tens, found that the Indians had killed a a number of men, and were pursuing others c who ad Red to the water, firing at them ; d he soon discovered that any attempt on his e par, would be fruitless, and effected his I escape with one man by the means of a d canoe some distance from the camp. The soldiers who took to the water made their d escape by swimming to a small boat some i distatice frotu the sbore. Col. H. met p with them and returned to the coast that night, and procured sonie bread left by the a Indians, which enabled them to subsisi.- a Having taet with a boat that conveyed' h him to Key Biscayne. lie sent a part of his a men to Tampa Bay to report to Gen, t Taylor. Major Bennett also informs us that Chit to Tustenuggee, with his famil5, were at p Key Biscayne..together with a number of o Indians, who were detained by Colonel t Harney , who sent Chitto Tustenuggee p for Sam Joues to meet h'm-hai Sam t Jones came to Fort Lauderdale, and that t both Ciit to Tustenuggee and Sam Jones a denied having aay participasio in that I affair, or even acknowledge ofthe intention r to make an attack, (saying they were the a Spanish Indians.) and expressing their 2 n illingness, in'the presence of the com tmanding officer at Fort Lauderdale, and 1; Major Benuett,to go and fight them.-- [ Both Sam Jones and Chitto Tustenuggee ( declare that it is their wish to comply with ( the treaty, and Sam offers to give up his J son as an evidence of his sincerity. Col. p Harney arrived at Fort Lauderdale just as hi Major Bennett left, whose intention wasp to make some arrangemient with these E chiefs to go agcaitnst the Indians who made il the attack ; no arrangement, however, n was made, previous to Major B's depar- 5 ture fronm Port Lauderdale, as he came r direcily' on in the Cinci::nati, the btoat b which brought Col. Harney to that place; y the Colonel detained the steamboat san- u tee at Fort Lauderdale to aid him in his o operations. Maj.

S. Army, now stationedi at Tampa-it speaks r for itself. That an officer so well kntown s for his vigilance and experi'euce should* suffer himself "surprised," brv a party of Indians. from the fact of having "no de fetices-no guards." is truly astonishing ! The truce, appears to have exasperated h the Indians; they now tmake frequent at tacks, and invariably eff'ect most serious mischief. They probably considered it an insutli to have terms of any sort, offered to them by the United States. Fort Bro. ke, Tampa Bay. July 29, 1839. "Col.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. BEAUFORT, S C., Aug. 21. On Monday, the 19th inst., about four clock in the afternoon, we were visited V a thunder storm from the N. E., which rossed Lady's and Port Royal Sounds, ist above the town of Beaufort, and was ery destructive in the direction it took. 'rovidenijally, it did not exceed more than hree or four hundred yards in width. In bis limited space, fences and buildingls vere prostrated and trees torn up by the nots. The damiage to the crops in the pace it took must be very great. We ave as yet heard only from Lady's Island, rhere several trees were t irn up by the oots-a Cotton hnuse blown down, and the Pnce and crois of corn levelled with the arth ; belouging to the estate of George "uthbert. The schr. Levant, Godfrey, master, from harleston, owned by Ladton & Bee. was aught in the gale off Pigeon Point. im rwdiately thrown on her beams end, and lied, where she now ls in three fathoms vater. Boats put off irom the shore to be aid of the crew, (the schooner having ilen over on their boat and sunk it.) The reight on deck was thus saved. By the ssistance afforded, the Captain freed the chooner's boat, and came up to Beaufort tr men, flats and barrels, to assist in rais ig the schoitier. The Levant arrived on lunday evening, at Beanfort, hauled in uid discharged her enrgo for this place, efore meridian on Monday, and left for 'oosawhatchie. where she was bound; rhen about one mile from the town. was vertaken by the gale We are informed ie schooner has a Piano and other valua le Furniture on board. for Coosawhatchie.

About the same time ie Pacha of Egypt gained a very signal ictory over the Turkish tronps in Syria. aid afler the death of the Sultan, the imtander of the Turkish fl-et put it nn er the protection of Ali Purh, to keep it F ut of icad hanids.
