 iS2S.-Sept. l, the election takes place in Mexico; Pedraza chosen President over Guerrero. and Basta- mente Vice President. Gen Santa Ana was fhen suspended on account of his violence in support of Guerrero.
 In January, 1929, through the management of San ia Ana, Guerrero becomes President, and Bustamente retains his office.
 In short time afterwards. Guerfeto reres. and Bustamente arrays ali his forces against him and San- la Ana.
 In August, 1929, Santa Ana invites Pedraza then at Philadelphia, 10 resume his functions President In the fall of 1892, Pedraza arrived at Vera Cruz, where he was received with great enthusiasm. Mean- while, Santa Ana raised tho siege of Mexico and, with ten thousand men, went in pursuit of Bustamene.
 On the 27th December Bustamente and Santa Ana entered into the convention ol Zavaleta the civil war was ended and Pedraza recognized as President till the ensuing lst of April, at which time his term of vice would expire.
 In April 1883, Santa Ana, who had been elected President, declined serving, and the Vice President | artas, was invested with supreme authority.
 In May, however, as there some nformality in Santa Ana's resignation, he suffered himself to be n- ducted into the office of President.

FLoRIDA.-The following explanation of some of he peculiar which have been used in reference to the Florida affairs, will be found useful 10 our feade.s. They are extracted from a letter to the Editor of the Northampton Courier:
 1.-The Hammock Is an Oasis in the Desert. After travelling over many tedious mile of sterile sand covered with thin growth of the gloomy fir, not a sound to be heard in the dreary wds that which you yourself may cause, you perceiven the distance an Emerald Isle with all the delight of mariner, who after long voyage hears the first cry of the thri ing Land ho As you approach this land of promise, you see spread before you of the most imposing and at the same time beautiful seeues i'll nature uxuant soil extended perhaps for many miles, cover- ed with every variety of the Laurel and other evergreen trees and shrubs and in the midst, towering above them a the stately magnolia grandidora, the surround ing atmosphere redoent with its delicious flowers, con- bined with those of the orange, lemon, and endless others to those add hundred and twenty varieties ofdeeldous forest trees; flowers and plants without nnmber, many that have lived and died for ages past unknown, and you will have, after all, but very faint description Of the magnificent vegetation. of the Ham, mock in East Florida. How can adequately de- scribe the effect of the many beautiful little rls Whch sprnging from the feet of these giants of the forests traverse these favored spots in every direction, and finally lose themselves in the adjacent pine forest The dePosite at the bottom of these is generally per fecy white sand, and the water as pure and mpid as crystal.
 The Ererglddes you inquire about, are immense un fenanted tfaes stretching north and south from Lake George to very near the southern extremity of the Peninsula, sometimes contracting in breadth from east 10 sges til assumes It's greatest dimensions between 27deg and 25 deg. 30 min. In this immense body of waste, composed principally of morass, and covering probably Nor'evey thing is hypothetical that relates to lhis terra incogna,) from to 5000 square miles, lies Lake Mayaca and here also Is he source of the noble river Chailote.-Ihese vast and inaccessible moras- ses have and always will afford safe asylum to fugitive Indians, so long they nhabtthe Peninsula, and they here iis said subsist secure from intrusion up- Oh such game and fish these wlds produce. Ii be- therefore the policy of the Commanders of our army to cut them off from this favore retreat and this they no doubt will endeavor, primary object to e- feet.

FROM THE DETROIT DAILY ADVERTISER.
 Congress have at length done justice to the demands ol the People concerning their money. They have passed the great Treasury reform bi The abuse corrected by this act of enormous magnitude. In the House. hirtyeght of Mir Van Bufen's ultfas stood out against the bi!l with spirit that would have suit ed well the ulras of British House of Lords toryism. They determined to resist reform they would not that any thing should be subracted from the power of the Executive As we anticipated, the more pru- dent members of the party saw 1t would be al their peril to resist the reform bill They were compelled 10 support the measure The wings in Congress have had glorious triumph, and it well on the prosperi- ty of the country Railroads will De built in all direc- tons and the North and South the East and West, will be united in indissouble bonds. Every State will receive large accession to its school fund.- and new impulse will be given to sthe march of mind" It Is a noble triumph of whg principle and whg policy and prudence, and statesmanship.
 fin important qtcstion.-A question of9he following import has been propounded to Mir. Chandler of the Philadelphia U. $. Gazette. "An invoice of goods Is shipped from New York to St. Louis, via New Or leans, and the goods insured in the usual form. At New Orleans, the goods are stored waiting for steanI- boat to De sent up the river. While there the ware house and goods consumed by fire Gan the owner receive the amount of insurance"
 The editor answers the enquiry in the negative, pro- Hded the policy in the usual form, as follows : From New York to New Orleans and thence to St. iouis-1 4o insure goods against such damage or destruction while in port he is of opinion that the i- rtau, r T0:n 1ztw ; oTK 10 7I11 7I7 \ W ofleans.'
