The Mississippi is higher than it has been for the last three years, and IS still rap idly swelling. Fears are entertained of all unusual overflowing of it's waters. Spec ulators in Arkansas lands will shortly be obliged 10 use a ten foot pole, {so says a worthy friend1 to find their lands. So blind has been the infatuated desire for specula- tioTis in fllesa lands, that many have paf- chased thousands of acres that they have never seen, iioF even dreamed would ever be overfiowed; and which now in all proba- bility, will be covered with several feet of water.--.nen.

NEW YORK, MARCH 26.--Real Re- het.-We learn that one of the most ef- ficient Banks in Wall street, has under the new law, already negotiated a loan in En- gland for half million of dollars, which, on the plan of the bill, will authorize the Bank to extend its loans $750,000.
 We also learn that Mr. Jaudon, Cashier of the U. 5. Bank, has gone to England for the purpose of carrying into effect an arrangement already made, by which the Bank fias disposed of tue notes which it took of the various institutions and individ- uals who purchased the Branches.--By this operation the Bank will realize over $20,- 100000 immediately, besides making a liberal profit on the difference between the rates of interest received and paid.
 To this we may add, that an association is proposed by a large number of wealthy and highly respectable gentlemen, 10 be formed on basis of not less than forty millions of bonds and mortgages, secured upon property of the value oi' eighty mil lions, which association proposes to be- come the fiscal agent of the government to secure the government for money in its hands by the transfer of an equal sum in mortgages, besides the allowance of inter- est. Such an association would be of the highest advantage to the government and the finances of the country, and We are hap EPy P to be abie io say that ii ilas been most favorably received by gentlemen high in office, of both political parties.

CAUTION TO THE puRIJC.


 CFBEwARE of ichat arc called 'sFLoAr- ING RIcHTs.o
 The law of the 10th June, 1854, pro- vldes, that when two or more persons are settled on the same tract of land, the two hrst actual settlers shall be permitted 10 di- vide the same equally between them, either bby north and south or an east and west line, whichever mode will best secure to each his improvements; and if this cannot be done Tn the mode prescribed, then the parties are permitted to become joint pup ehdsers of the tract; and in such cases the said tive first actual settlers (separately yeul- tVating,) are permitted to locate each eighty acres elseaehere in the district; which gaght to locale eiselrherc has obtained in the west the denomination of ''FLo4Ts,o or "FLoATING RIGHrs.o
 The term s.foat,' or eGoaiiae. riglt,,' is improper, Inasmuch as it is calculated 10 produce the belief that the right So to locate may remain outstanding at the pleasure of the proprietor. IHe contrary is the faet.
 The right "to locafe eighty acres of taad eiseaohere," which IS the. language of the law, (aehieh right has been aai8aamed q "FLoAT,'9 IS intended by the law to be ex- ercised and secured at the lime of the entIg of he original pre eniptton on which the same accrued. and during the period when the prc-eaptor visits tue Land-ofiee for that purpose.
 GEThe rights of location misaamed "hoats,' cannot possibly originate under the law in any other case than that above described, arliere tteo bona fde claimaats had settled on the same tract of iosd, and iOho caitiuated different portions of it in 1883, and occupied the same on the 18th June, 1884, having separate and distinct interests in the cultivation thereof.
 By the term sstrdct of land,' the law in- tends quarter section, containing oae hun- d''ed and strty acres, or whereabouts; halt ha9 quarter section. containing eiehty acres or thereabouts; quarter guarter of scc- hon, containing forfy acres, or whereabouts; or legal subdivisions of Fractional sec ton, not exceeding m all, the quantity of one hundred and sixty acres or whereabouts, when such fractional section contains more than one hundred and sixty acres.

 ' nouneng to the public that this institu- ton Will commence oil .hoaday, Me 1 ith in4 sta7a., under the auspices of Miss ELIZABETH PRATT, late of the state of New York.
 It IS deemed unnecessary for them to say any thing as to tie qualifications of Miss PRATT. Recommendations from various se- ninafy schools of high standing in the State of New York, attest her competency. She, however, tlatters herself that the advance ment of her pupils if the several branches which she proposes to teach, will afford to parents the most gratifying evidence of her zeal and ability. In this school the follow- ing branches will be taught:-
 Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar, Geegfaphy, History, Natural Philosophys Chemistry, Botany, Astrono- my, Euclid's Elements of Geometry, Alge- bra, Enheld's Philosophy, Intellectual Phi losophy, Drawing and Painting.
 Terms as folows.-
 Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, English Grammar and Geography, Twenty Dollars per session.
 The higher branches of education will be Twenty-Five Dollars.
 Drawing and Painting, separate charge of Five DolIars.
 The scholastic year will consist of two ses. sions of five months each.
 Board can be obtained in respectable fa- miles within a few hundred yards of the Academy.
 The extreme hea1thfuiness of Spring Hill, it's pure water, the sober and discreet habits of the people, mark it as a place admirably suited for female education.

 INDiANs.-The Secretary of War has reported 10 the Senate, in compliance with call from that body, statement of facts respecting the Indian tribes in fhis country. lie says that no accurate information can be gained respecting the number of Indians, except of those tribes to whom annuities are paid, or those living in immediate con tact with our settlements. The number removed, or emigrated, from the east 10 the west side of the Mississippi, is 31,34s; the number yet to be removed is estimated at 72,000. The number of Indians, of tho indigenous tribes, being estimated at I50,- GOO, 1t IS calculated that the total number ot Indians between the frontier settlements ot whites and the Rocky Moutains, after the emigration is completed, will exceed 25o,000, constituting formidable agqre- gate force, il any occasion could unite III a common cause so many tribes, differing from each other almost as widely Us tue whites differ from each other.

VOLCANO was got by stockholdcr, his dam, the famous little mare Forest Maid, by Ratray, of whom Mr. J. c. Beasley said ahe
 was the best nag of her size he had ever soen,
 aud that she was 'sa friend to poor man in
 strange country''-after losing on all his other horses, he could,. with confidence, bet his last dollar on her whenever she started for fopr mile heat. His grandam was the equally celebrated mnre Maid of the Oaks, by imporfcd Spread Eagle, one of the best four mile nags of her day in Virginia; his z. gran- dam, which was also the dam of Nancy Air, was by imported Shark, q. g. grandam by Rockingham, z. z. z. grandam by Gallant. z. z. 2. 2. graudam by True Whig, 2. 2. 2. z. 2. grandam by Regulus.
 OfStockholder, VoLoAao's sire, it is unne- eessary to say aught; he is too well known as a racer and stallion, to require the prop of . long pedigree. It may not be amiss, how ever, to state that he vas got by old Sir Ar chy, and his dam by imported Citizen, the best blood that America can boast. Katray, the sire of yoicanoss E dam, was by the import cd horse CIfden, his dam by Fitzpartner, his oraridam Araminna, who was got by Brim- fner out of Mr. Peyton Randolph's celebrated marc Lovely Lass.
 Iupo,4ed Spread Eagle was go. by yoiun4 teer, his dam by Highnyer, grandam by En- eineer, out of tho dam of Bay Nation and Treasurer; she was got by Cade, out of the Lass of the Mill, by Old Traveller.
 Spread Eagle IS unpopular with many sportsmen, but l would ask what horse has . better pedigree, and what imported horse has got as many capital racers!
