Murder of a Missionary Family.--The Southern Christian Advocate publishes the following letter giving a moving description of a massacre by the Florida Indians. The writer is Superintendent of the Alachua Mission on the Tallahassee District:

"Dear Brother Capers--I am ruined! While engaged in my labors in the Alachua mission I received a letter bearing awful tidings. It informed me that the Indians had murdered my family! I set out for home, hoping that it might not prove as bad as the letter stated; but O my God, it is, if not even worse! My precious children Lorick, Pierce and Elizabeth, were killed and burned up in the house. My dear wife was shot, stabbed and stamped, seemingly to death, in the yard. But after the wretches went to pack up their plunder, she revived and crawled off from the scene of death to suffer a thousand deaths during the dreadful night which she spent alone by the side of a pond bleeding at four bullet holes and more than half a

dozen stabs--three deep gashes to the bone on her head and three stabs through the ribs, besides a number of similar cuts and bruises. She is yet living--and O help me to pray that she may still live. My negroes lay dead all about the yard and woods, and my every thing else burned to ashes. Pray for me.

My family was on a short visit to my father-in-law, for the purpose of having some supplies sent up from our plantation to our temporary residence in the mission, and during this brief period the awful catastrophe took place.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRACY OF MARIETTA.

At a large and respectable meeting of the democratic citizens of Marietta and vicinity, held, according to previous notice, at the house of Mr. J. J. Libhart, on the evening of Saturday the 23d of June, 1838, for the purpose of making arrangements for celebrating the coming 4th of July.

JACOB GRAYBILL, Esq. was called to the chair. The following were appointed Vice Presidents:

Maj. John T. Huss, Z. Hipple, W. M'Clure, Robert King, Esq., Jacob Rathvon, John Young. Henry Haldeman, and S. G. Haldeman, S. S. Rathvon and B. Grosh, Secretaries.

Moved, That a committee of nine be appointed to draft resolutions, expressive of the sense of this meeting.

The following was the committee:

Jacob Grosh Esq., Gen. Jacob Glatz, Barton Galbreth, L. Leader, A. Wincell, J. J. Libhart, Jno. Barr, Geo. Caracher.

We give the following extract from the proceedings:--

Resolved, That we hail, with heartfelt pleasure, the nomination of General Porter, and the unanimity in his selection as the candidate of the people for the office of Chief Magistrate of Pennsylvania, as a sure pressage of the resumption of the powers of the government by the democracy of the Keystone state.

Resolved, That in the firm Jeffersonian principles, capacity, integrity, political experience and unimpeachable moral character, of David R. Porter, the people have a sure guarantee for the efficient, honest, and faithful administration of the Executive department of the government.

Resolved, That in General Porter we find the evidences of the same sterling integrity, patriotism and pure devotedness to the best interests of his country, which actuated his father in risking his life, and shedding his blood in assisting to procure our independence and in establishing the liberties we now enjoy.

Resolved, That the low slanders which are promulgated by the corrupt minority state administration, and its purchased presses, against Gen. Porter, will only unite his friends the more firmly, and disgust the honest part of our present opponents, so as to induce them to desert the ship of Antimasonic Federal Whiggery. For the people have not forgotten that Jefferson, Jackson and Johnson, were all thus slandered and calumniated and by the same all decency party too.

Resolved, That we are determined to use one and all, our influence and best exertions, by all honorable means to prevent the election of Joseph Ritner:

Because he is an avowed friend of Abolition, and we have reason to believe an amalgamationist too. For immediate abolition, cannot take place or exist in the nature of things, without amalgamation. As evidence of the above charge, we refer to his acts, viz: his message to the Legislature in 1836-7; the exertions of his friends in the convention in favor of negro suffrage, as well as the exertion of his friends in the legislature, in favor of giving the Hall of the House to the abolition convention, &c.: as also his late proclamation, offering the enormous reward of $500 of the public money, for the apprehension and conviction of each anti-abolitionist, concerned in the destruction of the Philadelphia Abolition Hall, being

a higher amount of reward ever offered before for the apprehension &c, of any criminals, and if all concerned (say about 10,000) should be apprehended, &c. would involve the state in five millions of debt. Besides; the act of paying such rewards being evidently unlawful, and contrary to the constitution;--Article 21, which says, "No money shall be drawn from the treasury but in consequence of appropriations made by law." What stronger evidence could he give to prove himself an abolitionist.

Because his exertions in favor of immediate abolition, will, we fear, have the effect to excite the blacks of the south to murder their masters, and produce most horrid and shocking scenes and utterly dissolve the union of these states, and involve the south and north who are bretheren, in a perpetual war and bloodshed and overrun our state with a horde of vagabond free blacks, to steal and rob us of our substance, and amalgamate with the whites, and thus produce an intolerable state of things among the citizens of our state. By these abominable means, no doubt he and his corrupt missions expect to keep themselves in office, viz: by the horde of free blacks it will bring among us.

Because he signed an unconstitutional apportionment bill, disfranchising whole sections of country, in order to keep himself, Stevens, and others of his corrupt friends in office.
