Harney has passed through the j o( Everglades, coming out at Cape Sable.? j ~ lie surprised a camp of 40 Indians, hung, ten of the warriors, and reserved one to a| take him to Sam Jones' camp. Chekika, ja w!?o headed the patty robbing Indian Key,; was among t!m number. Lt. Ord, of 3d j ^ Artillery, in attempting to dislodge 7 In-!r{ dians from an island, lost one man, had six wounded, ant] the one untnjurea, brought his men oif. At a time, when the CJ commanding General is tampering with outlaws and murderers, it is a bright relief to cast the e> e upon a man who knows sj his duty to the country and is not afraid to u, perform it. ^ Last night the market was illuminated, cannons fired, and music employed to add ta their grateful sounds to the admiration C? which this affair has produced. (), Late last evening, we learned the killing of Lt. Sherwood, Tth Infantry, a wife of an officer, and two privates near Micano- ^ pv. A'so, a teamster at Pi la t ka. ST.

(t'.ey v ere perhaps shot in the at. .t. \ " tit ta< r, I lit Wc hope, however, that tney wore . hanged* after being caught alive, for, be- 1 longing to the gang which committed the tl' massacres at ('arlonsahatchie, and Indian Key, they deserved neither mercy, judge j c" or jury?nothing but an executioner; and the People of Florida have Inns: deplored as the unfrcqnenry oPsuch salutary rctribu- 10 tivc examples. If these Indians were hanged, their people will see we are at jj* last in earnest. Ilnw niurli blood might fL h. vf- been saved bad 10 Indians been . hanged live years ago! "? Col. Harney, we are told, went in at the Miami, and came out near Cape Sable. If so, lie must have gone where no white man has proceeded, and discovered a sin- .? gularand important water communication 1 across the South of the Peninsula. ' c0 We gave the gallant Colonel our good ml wishes when he went down, and are rcjoiced lo see them fulfiled. The party relurncd round the coast, leaving Capt.

W An express from Col. Hanson's planla- :rr tion two miles from town, informed usjFu that Indians were in the neighborhood. ; \c The circumstances were these: While wl a party of people were at work in the in field an Indian nrgio (the same, we are ed. inclined to believe, who was with Wild- Fo 11 when the plantation was robbed on the to 11!i Oct.) approached a girl who was at mui '::!( ciisiance from tlie rest, and inquired lief here her master was?whose men were ope orbing on the pine-barren?how many per hiic men there were in the house, &c. C he fellow made no threats, but merely has :tercd "umph," "uniph," to the girl's re- of lies, and telling her to say nothing, gli- of .d away into the woods. cri| The old story for 4 ycarshas been, "we abi. lii't find the Indians." Now they come ; res > near thai with a spy-glass from the, a { a use tops, we might see them grinningiCn us. Ilow accommodati g? That there leas as a party on Monday, within two miles j wa r i In; town, whosentthe negro out as ajwa iy, we have no doubt, and that they will | wa pi.ir.it some depredation before they re- out irn south is quite probable. Really we icse Indians are restless neighbors. the Since writing the foregoing, we have ov< arned that on Sunday morning one of for Ir. Jcnckcs' negroes discovered Indian she ecks near his plantation at North River, hat ) miles from this place; in consequence bia f which his people have been removed, bin Mr. Jcnckes has a family of 70 negroes, fee id a large plantation and buildings, and Th mansion for a prince, within 20 miles of inc ie oldest city in America, and yet he is of ept a prisoner in town. He uttemped to see s-establish himself last spring, but was Mr usieged ky the Indians, narrowly esca- no\ ing with his life, and a good part of his bis op was destroyed. of Col. Hanson has also a family of about a ) negroes, within two miles ? within Pr< ght of the town, upon a plantation of cie hich the Indians take possession when cot icy please.

I p. it I gave you vritl hasty account of Indian daring in their few lack on a train of two wagons almost in in<j e presence of one hundred men: and they 'I imbering not more than six. Wherever bci e Indian rifle is heard, there he is sure con leave his mark, while all the exertions oft ' the army are parlized by untoward cir- < [instances beyond their control. Truly Acs e Florida war is in every respect, both km to the mode of its prosecution and na- thoi re, an anomaly in the affairs of men. Wc have received another piece of :ws more thrilling than any thing thatjSnc is occurred since Dude's unfortunate af- Enj ir. In old times the heroism displayed cia> this affair would have been celebrated 1 1 over the country, and can it be possi- ofC e that selfish party politics have so cor- .i m pled us, that no sacrifice, such as the ten-, llowing, will scarcely draw forth a sigh! must confess I am afraid our national rrupiion will bring upon us heavy canities. But to the tale of heioism, and I mild I had the pen of a Scott to do jusc to the hero. On the 20ih ult. Lieuts. Sherwood and ipsoii, of the 7th Infantry, started from icanopy with Mrs. Montgomery, the ung wife ol Lieut. M. of the same Rcncnt, for Wakahoota. They had an :ort of ten mounted men, which has 2ii deemed amply large to travel through ! Territory. About three miles from canopy they were attacked by about a idred Indians. Mrs. M., the Sergeant ijor of the ?lh, and three privates, L re shot down. It is believed that Mrs. ' was not then killed. Lieut Sherwood st nobly dismounted, and in the face this overwhelming savage foe, seized a sket from one of the dead soldiers, and oically fought over the body of .Mrs. lQ ( inlgomery, until overpowered, when sccl noble spirit took its flight to mansions gpj eternal rest. His body was found ly; over thatcf Mrs. M. with the musket j ^ ' his hands. Noble Sherwood! your nef( ends will shed the tear of true sorrow your untimely fate, and your noble CQ[i1 eds stimulate your brothers in arms to is of daring, such a a this land has not tnessed, anil yotu name become the g _ ilchv.ord for just retribution 011 our sa- ^ ?cfoc! , .En" A command was sent out immediate,y J im Micanopy, but could find notiiing of ? cowardly enemy, though a force much laller than their own. n giot Oprrt-VTiox for Club-Foot.?The tri- kin< 1 pl'.s in operative Stirgerv, within the G l few years, especially in the removal can< deformities dependent on defective or- scj1( ninntion, have been truly astonishing. The exact nature of the various con traces and distortions of the limbs and :;ts, sere o have been well undcr?ud by the medical faculty, until within j Inst few years, consequently their ' : ?

Two these cases were of the very worst desption. One case of a young lady aged >ut twenty-two years, (Miss Farrar, iding near Lexington C. H.) the other jentlcfnan about the same age, oft, Ksq. of Georgetown. In th se es both feet were affected, turned inrds, the soles of the feet looking uprds, and the toes drawn inwaids lord tlie heel, so that they walked 011 the ^side of the instep, supporting the ight of the body upon a surface about j size of a dollar; the deformity moreer compelling them to wear a covering them more resembling a box than a )C. The young lady now wears as idsome a slipper as any lady in Colum , and the gentleman, when we saw 11 a few weeks since, had clothed his t with a fashionable pair of bootees.? e operation has also added from an h to an inch and a half to the height these individuals. Wc have never in apparently a moic grateful man than . Croft. He declared that he would t take ten thousand dollars and stand in former position, without the prospect cure; that the deformity had been such source of mortification to him, as to :vent him from mingling much in soty, although delighting in social intertrse. We understand that the operation is rptcd to almost every case of the demily, at any age under forty; but of irse the earlier in life the case is subtied to treatment the better ana the re perfect the cure.
