Liverpool three days after theCosmo Bristol which
the beautiful Mrs. Blackstock and young Jones sailed.
On arriving IN Liverpool the elder went Immediately
to The house Qf Brown q Co. aRd stopped the Bill Of
Exchange. Next day the bill was presented. 1t
was delivered TO the father who went Immediately up
to London in pursuit Of his son, and his inamorata.
On reaching London, young Jones arrested by
his father for debt and thrown into prison for want OF
bail. This, of course soon brought the young gen.
tlemen to reason. At first, the beautiful Mrs. Black
stock was terribly shocked, but after visiting him
twice in prison, she became reconced the los, of
her lover especially finding had lost his money.

NEWSPAPER ENTERpMsE.-DAILy PREss.--The
Courier, the Express, the Journal the STAR and other
sxpenny papers, are in the midst of a furious compe-
| ition They may make themselves perfectly easy
We can beat them all in newspaper enterprise, ca
pacity, genius and success We are now only in the
beginning ofour career and we have circulation and
| influence beyond the whole of these papers put to-
gether. The saly and weekly Herald has sprung, in
few months, from nothing, to most unbounded
popularity. The editors of the Wall street papers,
| from the Courier down, are the mersst drveers IN
existence They do not understand the nature of the
instrument they attempt TO guide and direct DO any
ofthese papers show mind, power taste, genixs, orlg
nalityl Is not the Express the merest twadder in
nature? Is not the Courier recipient of other men 5
| crude notions? And as to the STAR ii is simple re-
facciamsnto ofthe trash put forth by Mr.. Noah
for the nnetyninth time. The Herald will yet out
strip all these papers in size and ev-ry thing else

| FLORIDA CAMPAIGN.-A glorious speculation for
woodsmen would present itself, and for the g.
| vernment too if Congress would sanction prcml-
um Of $1,000 at least head for the capture of each
| Seminole Indian. Suppose there were 1000 Indians /;
this would cost the government million Of dollars
but what then7 The war h:s already cost millions,
and may cost twenty millions before ii is termi-
mated, by the inefficient system of cabinet and tent
operations at present carried on, leaving ntrgues and
Jealouses cut of the question. Gen Jessups removal
TO Tampa is "no CO." He ought to have been in the
| Everglades with batteaux with a force in position
to operate TO the right and left the peninsula.
The southern states TEEN with hardy woodsmen,
who, if permitted to operate on their "own hook, I"
and cabinet s,aT officers to cucumber their ope-
rations, would soon give good account of Oceoa,
Jumper, and every Indian in the encmy's camp.
This is a campaign for huntsrnnen Let government
now open the field by offering $1,000 head at least,
for the enemy and place paymaster at an appointed
pacen East Florida with tho cash ready to poney up,
and our word for it right down hunt" will termi-
nate the campaign Should this catch the eye Of
member Of Congress lei him lose no time in bringing
up resolution. Where is the son of David Crockett2
ExPuSGiNG.-Ihe opposition prints appear to have
expunged every species Of decorum sense, and good
taste, from the language they hold toward the govern
ment since the expunging resolutions passed the Sen
ate. OF all species oflow, vulgar contemplate black
guardlsm, commend US TO that of the political black
| guards Of both parties. When Their tongues are let
loose, none need try to sink lower General Jackson
and his party have sins enough answer for but they
hardly SO bad tbs wings represent them or so
| good as the democrats crack them up to be.

Such hpreposterousimpudence as this-we can't call
it argument-in commercial paper is not-cannot
be without Have the New England manu-
facturers made up apur:e Of s52 725 62 in order to
