ANOTHER STRIKE.-The passengers
on board the steamboat Sydney, from
Fredericksburg to Washington, on the
18th inst. on being charged an addi-
tional 25 cents for dinner, resolved on
a strike" A meeting of the passen-
gers was accordingly held, and it was
unanimously resolved that no dinner
should be eaten by any of them, at a.
ny advanced price over the usual
charge of so cents. 1t was also resol-
we'd that those who had bought tickets
at the advanced rate Offs cents, should
present them at the captains Office,
and get the money refunded, which
was accordingly dore; and the cap
tain, seeing there were to be no din
ners at the advanced price, took the
responsibility of reducing the charge
to the former rate. This is the APP
proved way to make the favorers Of
advanced prices" hear reason. Abb
s%tinence is the sovereign remedy for
that evil.

The Huntsville Branch Bank (Ala-

from the Department at Washington.
So says the II. Democrat of Feb. %.
The loan is for 80 years at 5 per cent.
State bonds to be given in security.
Is this the way the peoples surplus is
to be disposed of Or will not Con-
gress next session, rise in their might,
and without reference to party views,
put a stop to this open fraud upon the

believe there is selfshness enough left,

We learn that Philip and Micanopy
had not signed the treaty. Micanopy
saws that he has been blamed for being
against the war-that # they made a
treaty he would sign it; that Payne's
treaty will be recognised.
Extract Of a letter dated March s, 1887, after
noon. =,
81 have just been attending the talk
bet the head chiefs OF the hcstiles
and Gen. Jesup. Jumper says he will
not fight any more--he can't fight a
whole nation like us-we are too nu-
merous, and his feelings were hurt IN
finding his own relations (the Creeks)
fighting against them too.
Micanopy has sent out the talk,
an6 if any ofthe Indians refuse to come
in they will settle it themselves.
"When the General pushed him a
little about the time oftheir coming to
Tampa; he said that if he agreed 10
hurry in, it might be supposed they
were scared, which was not the case ;
that they were anxious for peace and
would come in.
"After a short conversation, Gen.
Jesup gave him till tomorrow evening
or the next morning to consult his
bretheren and the Creeks, and give his
answer"
