-sSOASS SAbuQSCu Ou bl1C IOOu AAOAh 1AAAES~sO~ W LevingstOn's Ferry, on the Suwannee, about twenty miles from the latter place, was at- tackled by Indians. The inmates, consisting ol Mrs. 'Clemmons and four children, and little orphan lad living with Mir. Clemmons, were murdered! Mir. c. was from home at the time this awful visitation was made upon his family. He returned on the 10th inst, the second day after the horrid transaction, and the first intimation of the calamity that had befallen his wife and little ones, was the desolate appearance of his home, and then the bodies of his wife and children, fifty or more yards from the house. They had been shot while attempting to escape, as it would seem from the position in which the bodies lay. They were unscalped. The children were shot in tho head, and so near were the guns when discharged, that the heads of these unfortunate children were literally blown to pieces! And to add to the horror of the sight, and anguish of the bereaved hus- band and father, the body of the youngest child, babe, was almost devoured, and the arm of the mother eaten of, by hogs!

 Mr. Biddle'S riSa to WaShington.-The A. merican, speaking apparently by authority, says. "We understand that, being on other business at Washington, Mir. Riddle took oc- casion to call on the President of the United States, to pay his respects to him in that cha racter, and especially to afford the President an opportunity, it he chose to embrace it, to speak ot tho present state of things, and to confer, if he saw fit, with the head of the lar gcst banking institution in the country-and that the institution to which such general ap- plication has been made for relief. During the interview, however,, the President re- mained profoundly silent upon the great and interesting top cs ot the day, and as Mir. Bid de did not think it his business to introduce them, not a word in relation to them was said

 NETWORK, 1HuTSuity, r. M.

 This is the gloomest day we have ever witnessed in the city-the number of fail- ures, yesterday, being greater than any day vet. Some of our staunchest and best 'hous- es went down. The amount of indebtedness of those that stopped yesterday afternoon, is about eight millions. Confidence has appa- rently vanished. The Banks do all they can-thcy generally renew all paper that is required to be renewed, and without addi- tional names. Stocks have again fallen to- day, and stand below any point that they have touched yet.

 most melancholy occurrence took place today, which has given shock 10 the pub lie. John Fleming, Esq. was found dead in his bed this morning. He expired in fit of apoplexy. The verdict of the jury "death from powerful mental excitement."] MT. Fleming has been connected with the Me- chanics Bank as either Cashier or President, for nearly thirty years. Being a kind and obliging man, he mingled freely with the public, and was universally esteemed and beloved. It is understood, that through his disposition to assist suffering public, he had made one or two loans that may prove of some loss to the Bank if closed now, but kecnly his situation, he with the Cashier re- signed their situations.

Letters from gen. tlemen of the highest standing in various quarters of that State, tell of things that would not have been dreamed of two months ago. We shall endeavor to give an abstract of the information now in our possession, in order that the real state of things may be known
