FROM FLoR1DA.-The Indian hunt in
FLORIDA IS not yet over. One Of the indef-
mite reports was, that neither Philip or
Oseola had come in, nor was Abraham
IN camp. Gen. Jesup, it is said, advises
the citizens not to return to their homes,
| until he announces that it would Je safe,
and. to prevent collisions in regard to prop
ertv of the whites in the possession of
the Indians which would probably lead
! 10 renewed hostiIities. Scouting Indians
are yet out. Mischief is here and there
done Gen. Hernandez with upwards Of
200 men, is at Tomoka. He went there 4
some DAYS ago, and he has encamped near
the ruins of Judge Dunham's buildings. |
Indian fires have been seen in that section |
One of the soldiers wandering about three
hundred yards from the encampment or
plckets, was shot, seal ped, and his head
was cut of,
In addition to the above, we learn that
the army has marched with the Indians
who have surrendered, upon Tampa Bay
n. Y. Express.
OPIUM EATING IN SIAm.-From the
journal of Mr.. Johnson, a missionary
now resident in Siam, being occasionally
at Chameleon and Bankok, we have COL
ected the following remarks on the vice
OF opium eating in that countrv-the
consumers, however, being principally
Chinese.
On one OF Mr.. Johnson's visits TO a tenn
pie, he found q number of idle and elna-
cated Chinese, evidently addicted to the
excessive use Of this powerful drug
Opium, says this gentleman, holds its
victims by much Iirmer grasp than al
cohoI, and more rapidly, too, prostrates ali
the energies of both body aud mind
The Chinese are annually furnished with
: a vast amount Of opium BY nominal chris
tIa"s who not onI Y violate a wholesome
law of the empire, is smuggling it on
shore, but disgrace the religion which they
are supposed by the Chinese government
y to possess, by preserving in a contrabanI
trade which absolutely make mad men
and IDIOTS. Our own countrymen, some
of them reputed Of grca. speciality, ar
i indeed deeply implicated in this crime Of
frelghtng poison, which leads to certain
e moral lnlutuation, degradation and death
y to' their ships convey it from Hndostan
n where it is principally raised, and force j
y on shore in spite of law or custom house
