and also that they wanted to hold a
talk with the officers at Fort Mellon.
An express rider from Micanopy at
Black creek, reports that several men
had been murdered near Big Spring on
the Ocklawaha about % miles from
Fort King, and it is feared that this re-
port is too true.
1t is rumored that Fort Armstrong
had been attacked and that the fight
continued two hours.
Gen. Jesup is said to be at Fort
King.
We give the above as reports mere
ly, the avenues of correct information
seem to be closed to us and we can
give but the reports Of the day.
Maj. Gates arrived few days since
in this city. He has been assigned TO
the command of the post at e.erey's
Ferry.
The post at New Smyrna has been
abandoned by order of Gen. Jesup.
Gen. Jesup's plan now is, it is sta
ted, to employ number of Choctaws.
The Creeks have been found to be in
efficient. They are connected with
the Seminoles by the ties of consan-
guinity and speak the same language /;
they have found friends and relations
among them, and it is not to be expec-
ted that they will be as efficient as
was at first anticipated.
The Choctaws make it their boast
that they have never yet shed the
blood of white man, and they are
represented as being a warlike tribe.
1t is said feeling of jealousy exists
among them that the Creeks were en-
ployed in preference. They speak a
different language and are in no way
connected with the Seminoles.

YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS

| @~ A'S'%hA ~
We are compelled to defer detail
led report of the proceedings of the
House of Delegates yesterday, and to
be content with mere abstract of the
business actually transacted. The bill
for the temporary relief of the Banks,
was passed in the form noticed in a..
nother paragraph. The bill concer.
ming the Exchange Bank of Virginia,
was lost by an even vote-55 to SIS.
AS the House was not full, il is proba.
| Bile The question VIII be reconsidered,
and the bill passed.
Some proceedings of interest took
place upon the subject of allowing the
Banks to issue small notes during the
suspension of specie payments. Mr..
Bolts declaring his change of opinions
as to the propriety of such issues, from
facts which had come under his imme.
date observation, moved to reconsider
the vote rejecting Mr.. Miller's resolu-
ton on that subject; and several 9th.
er gentlemen having expressed their
belief of the absolute necessity of such
a measure, the House agreed to the re.
consideration.
Mr.. Miller briefly stated the reasons
which had induced him to favor the
measure. The passage of the STAY
Law had rendered this step necessary.
The Legislation referred to, was for the
benefit ofthe banknote holders, and the
large class of poor would be forced in
to the hands Of shavers. He wishe,
: to put all classes on an equality.
this were denied, it was useless to tall
about democratic doctrines. Mr.. Nj
was in favor of Banks upon speci,
basis. He had been willing to make ;
fair experiment to exclude small notes
but the times had compelled us to dis
n card mere abstract notions i'm reparl
to bank paper, and to act practically
Ills object was to relieve his constitu
. ents and the people generally. If w
wait until next winter, the change il
. the meanwhile would be gone, an,
great evils would result. Let us, then
do what we ought now. His obiec
p. was to guard the bill in the strictes
= manner, both as to amount and time
lie would impose penalties to max
! the Banks redeem their notes. Thu
y guarded, he thought infinite benefi
would accrue.
Messrs Crutchfeld, Tunstall, Wills
Murdaugh, Boyd, Wilson Off Fishe
and May supported the proposition
which was opposed by Messrs New
man, Watkins, Harrison, Voolfolk, &
lessee.
= Messrs Mallory, Vaughan, Cootes
Dorman and Benton explained the rea
sons which had induced them to vot
3 for permitting the bill to be brough
in.
= The resolution was modified at tn
$ suggestion of Mr.. Crutchfeld, and a
doPted in the following form-Ayes Ga

RENEWAL OF HosTILITIEs.-Since

we'd from Tampa, that all the Indians
at the camp there had, fled 10 the woods.
The circumstances are stated to be
that Gen. Jesup had ordered those en-.
rolled to prepare for immediate emf.

and an intimation reached the com.
mOndlng General, which induced him
to send out detachment to take them
prisoners but when they reached the

The mails from every quarter are so
destitute Of any matter but election
eering articles, that we find difficulty
in giving to our paper the appearance
of news. Column upon columns Of
the metropolitan mammoth sheets, are
sent forth, full Of flaming resolutions,
and fat with all manner Of compli-
ments, from the fulsome praise down
to the most venomous calumny.
In this we have fair view Of the
public mind, showing it to be, like all
the beautiful works Of nature, subject
TO seasons of distortion and derange-
ment. It is like the pure current Of
the silver river flowing over calm
and pehbly bottom. In its ordinary
volume, its crystal depths are fathom-
able by the minutest ray of the day
light, and all the meteors Of the night
are proud to be reflected in its mirror.
Again it is like the delicate and tram
quill blue Of the ather, when no cloud
passes OVERT. The warmth of summer
is tempered by its softness, and the
frosts Of winter are allevieted by the
fervency Of its light. Once more the
public mind is like the gentle breath
ing Of the summer wind. Its benevo-
lent and tepid breath, carries with it
the odors Of flowers and fruits, and rev.
els amoag the dews Of the morning.
It refreshes the weary, and fans the
perspiring brow Of labor.
But the season will come when the
stream is swollen and maddened by
rains, and its once crystal waves will
cast up mire and dirt. The time will
happen, when the sky is blackened
with clouds, and forked with light
nings. The sweet breath Of morn,
too, will have its season Of rage, and
though once not wagging the sweet
head Of the violet, will now take the
mountain pine by the top, and make
him stoop to the vale. Even SO with
the public mind. Its calmness is bro
ken, and it is fit perhaps, for wise pur-
poses. that it should be, BY the annual
return Of political storms. Why then
should wesnot expect thunder, about
these days?- Globe.
