Treasury Circular
70 Receivers Of Public Money, and 10
The Deposite Banks.

e
70 Receivers Of Public Money, and TO
The Deposits Banks.
Treasury Department. July II, 1885.
In consequence Of Complaints which
have been made of Interpretations,
and monopolies, in the purchase Of
the public lands, and the aid which is
said 10 be given to effect these objects
by excessive bank credits, and danger.
GUS If not partial, facilities through
bank drafts and bank deposites, and
the general evil influence likely to re-
suit 10 the public interests, and especi-
ally the safety Of the great amount Of
money 10 the Treasury, and the sound
condition of the currency of the coun-
try, from the further exchange of the
national domain in this manner, and
chiefly for bank credits and paper mo-
ney. the Pfesiden. of the U. States
has given directions, and you are here
by instructed, after the 18th day OF
August next, TO receive in payment Of
the Public lands nothing excep, what
is directed by the existing laws, viz
gold and silver, and, in the proper ca
Sea, Virginia land scrip: provided, that,
ill the 18th Of December next, the
same indulgencies heretofore extended
as TO the kind Of money received, may
Discontinued for sny quality of land
not exceeding three hundred and
twenty acres to each purchaser who 10
an actual settler, or bona fds resident
in the..State where The sales are made.
In order 10 insure the faithful execu-
ton of.shese instructions, all Receivers
are strictly prohibited from accepting
for land sold, any draft, certificate, or
ether evidence, Of money or deposite,
though forspecie, unless signed by the
Treasurer-of the United States, in con
formity TO the act Of April "a, 1920.
And eachtof those officers is required
toannex tohis monthly returns TO this
Departmentthe amount OF gold and Of
silver respectively, as we'll as the bills
received under the foregoing exception;
and each deposite bank 10 required to
annex TO every certificate given upon
a deposite Of money the proportions Of
it actually paid in gold, in silver, and
in bank notes. All former instructions
on these subjects, excep, as now modi-
fled, wi be considered as remaining
in foil .ofce.
The principal objects of the Presi-
dent in adopting this measure being to
repress alleged frauds, and to with
hold any countenance or facilities in
the power of the Government from the
monopoly Of the public lands in the
hands of spectators and capitalists, to
sthe injury of The actual settlers in the
new States, and Of emigran,s in search
OF new homes, as well ss to discour-
age the ruinons extension of bank is
sues and bank credits, by which those
results are generally supposed to be
promoted, your utmost vigilance is re-
quired, I'D relied on, TO carry this or

MONUMENT TO COMMODORE PERRY.
This moment, which the citizens of Buiia-
10 proposed 10 erect, will be commenced
this present season under the direction OF
Messrs. Frazee and Launtiz, sculptors, of
New York. The design is given by Mr.
Frazee, and is represented 10 be the most
grave and classic conception in America.
The style and architecture are purely Gre
can The height of the monument is one
hundred feet. A statue of Perry fifteen feet
in height will crown the structure, and upon
the sides Of the pedestal, which is thirty-four
feet square, are to be sculptured relieves,
representing the Battle of Erie, and chief
scene of Perry's glory, and other prominent
events in his life. The whole structure is
to be of American white marble, and will
cost sevcnty-five thousand dollars.
1t is a source of qualification to us, that
after so many years, monument is to be
raised to the memory of Perry, which will
be worthy of his illustrious name. Let it
rise in simple grandeur, and often may tine
traveller turn aside to muse on the greatness
and heroic virtues of him whose glory the
structure is intended to commemorate.

A young lady dressed in male apparel,
lately started on foot from Vermont, IN or
der le see her uncle in pittsburgh, Pennsyl-
vanie, for the purpose of asking his assis-
tance for her father, who had formerly been
in afiluent circumstance but who having
met with misfortune, was AT the time lying
in Vermont Jail for another persons debt.
Having arrived ut Newcastle, Delaware,
she was informed that her uncle was as
poor as her father, and could render her no
assistance. Disappointed and discouraged,
she turned her steps homeward, and her
purse becoming exhausted, a brute of n land
lord seized part of her clothing in pay
ment of nights lodging. She afterwards
stopped at public house in Meadville, and
her sex becoming known she was kindly
furnished with proper clothing, and the
means of prosecuting her journey home.
Such an example of filial affection in a
young and delicate female, used to all the
re6nements of society, cannot be too much
admired. Her disguise was assumed for
the purpose of securing her personal safety
during her journey-a journey of something
like six hundred miles, undertaken solely
with the hope of liberating father from
prison.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM FLORI-
DA-ANOTHER BLOODY BAT
TLE-DEFEAT OF THE INDIANS
TWO HUNDRED SLAIN.

The following important intelligence is
from the Mobile Mercantile Advertiser of
the 10Th instant -
LATER FROM FLoRIDA.-By an arrival
from Tampa Bay of several of the Volun-
teer Troops from this state last night, we
learn that serious battle was fought about
I2 miles from fort Brooke on the 9Th
April with the Indians. The engagement
was between the regiment of volunteers
from Tuscaloosa, principally under the
command of Col. II. B. Chlders, of Tus-
caloosa, and MS near as could be Judged
about 400 Indians.
We have not learned all the particulars
only that the Indians were routed with
about 900 killed and wounded, and only 3
killed and 81 wounded on our side. The
indians attacked the regiment while under
march aud by surprise.
The news from the eastern and northern
parts of Florida, is not of the most agreea-
bic description.-Th following is an ex-
tract from letter to gentleman in BaIti-
more, written by lady, and dated
TALLAHASSEE, May 10th, 1886.
Here we are in the same state of alarm
and confusion--e,ery hour brings intelli-
gence of some new depreciation. There
has just arrived another express who states
that the Indians are fighting with our men
at St. Marks, and that there is a small par
" within TWELVE miles of this place. You
cannot imagine the state ofalarm we are in
not knowing at dark that we may not be
murdered before morning. There were
about fifty women and children to go to
St. Marks to take passage in vessels, but
the Indians are between this place and the
port, and they are consequently prevented
from leaving. ! have not slept one moment
for eight nights; neither have been TO bed
for two We had three alarms last night
that the Indians were in Tallahassee"

RISING OF THE CREEKS-Dr

les MURDERED
From the Charleston Patriot of Nay Ia.
Col. White, Delegate in Congress from
Florida, arrived here last night from Au-
gusta, having seen and conversed with the
passengers who arrived at a late hour the
night before from Columbus. There is no
longer a doubt of general Creek war.
Fifty families have been murdered, and
1000 people fled TO Columbus for protec-
ton
The state of that frontier is most disas-
trous. There are not 500 effective men be-
tween the Creek and Seminole lines, and
all Florida will he devastated, if the Gov
ernors of South Carolina and Georgia dc
not send mounted men to the Florida line
and to Tallahassee. The Seminoles are
advancing on Tallahassee. The Creeks
will bc forced upon 1t. Gen Scott is il

Col. White has sent an express to Gen
Scott, and made an appeal to the Governor:
of South Carolina and Georgia to senc
mounted men to Tallahassee and the Flori.
da line, to save middle Florida from robbery
and murder in this dsgraceful Indian anC
Seminole war. We hope the Governor
will act with his known promptitude anc
energy.

On Sunday night, the lst inst, an alray
occurred in dlsorderly house in Sandy
Bottom, between two men named Shepherd
and Martin, in which the latter drove ii long
dirk-bladed knife three inches into the brain
Of the former. The knife entered the fore
head over the right eye, and such was the
violence of the brow, that the handle was
broken off, and the blade left sticking in the
skull The operation of trepanning was
performed the next morning, and the pa
tent fingered until the 7th, when he expired.
Shepherd was a Virginian, but was recently
from the State of Ohio, and a stone cutter
by trade. Martin has made his escape.
