More Indian Murder and depredations -- Mr. Abraham Dupont, who resides at Matanzas about 25 miles south of this city, arrived on Sunday morning about 7 o'clock, having travelled on foot all night with his two little sons, whence he was obliged to flee for safety. 

   Mr. Dupont states that about 10 o'clock on Saturday night he was alarmed by some of his negroes, who told him that the Indians were at the negro houses.  Mr. Joseph Long, lodged at Mr. D's house, was roused, and also his children. 

   Mr. Long proposed going to the stable to get his horse, and jumped out of the window and proceeded towards the stable when he was shot down about 40 yards from the house.  Mr. Dupont had four guns loaded in his house, three of which he fired in the direction of the place where Mr. Long was shot, which had the effect of making the Indians retreat farther off, when they commenced firing at the house and yelling. 

   He was thus enabled to come out of his house by the back door, and fearing his retreat to his boats was cut off, he fled across his field through the thickets to the public road.

   Mr. Dupont met some of his negroes, from whom he procured a blanket and wrapped round one of his children, who had been forced to come away without his clothes.

   A negro man belonging to Mr. Dupont, who had been taken by the Indians and was with them about six hours, arrived here in the afternoon, states that he went around among the negro houses and found them all deserted, with the exception of one old negro and a small negro child, and as the Indians showed no disposition to molest the negroes he left the child in charge of the old negro. 

   They had ransacked Mr. Dupont's house, distributed Mr. Dupont's guns among the negroes and told them to kill every white man they saw. 

   On Sunday morning, upon the receipt of the above information, Gen. Scott sent Capt Dunson's Company of U.S. Artillery, unmounted  accompanied by 10 volunteers. 

    After riding until sunset they came upon a party of Indians, 7 to 10 in number, who were driving off a large body of cattle.  The volunteers charged upon them and fired wounding two of them.     The Indians returned the fire and killed Mr. Dupont's horse under him, and wounded Capt Dimick's.  The remainder of the Indians fled into the Hammock near by, and were pursued by the troops who poured in a heavy fire. 

   The whole number might have been taken had daylight lasted.   Capt. Dimick reports 4 Indians killed and probably as many wounded.  One of the regulars who was killed they buried, and returning to the ground the next day, they found him dug up and scalped.
