On Sunday last, two teams, loaded w;th goods, were attacked by a party of Indians, about three o'clock in the after, noon, si* miles frotn Blocker's Gross Roads, on the road from Magnolia. The wagons were plundered of part of* their contents, when a gentlemen, Mr. Math* ewa, from Monticello, riding up, unapprised of the presence of the Indians, and undiscovered until it was almost ton late, diverted the attention of the Indians, who fired upon him as he retreated ; but fortunately he escaped unhurt, except a slight glance of a hail upon his shoulder. The negroes taking advantage of the confusion, although stript of their clothing by the Indians, mounted their mules, and made their escape with the wagons and teams. Some forty Indians were sup. posed to be in the party. Pursuit was given next day bv the troops stationed in the neighborhood, but without success. Floridian. Ding Dong! Ding Ding ! !
