GOVERNOR DODGE.

The following highly complimentary article is
taken from the Peoria Register of the 18th ult.
While we cheerfuy accord in opinion wi II the
editor of the Register respecting the efficiency OF
our Governor, we cannot but hope that some other
officer may yet be found who possesses the necessa-
ny energy and qualifications to crush the savage
enemy enemy in Florida. The people of Wiscon-
fellow -citizens Of Florida, would reluctantly part
with their present Executive officer.

"rmE FLORIDA WAR.-The Albany Evening
Journal states, ssfrom source in the highest de-
gree respectable" this war has cost the U. States
tscelpe millions Of dollars. Two years have nearly
elapsed since the war commenced, and the lndi-
ans arc still il possession OF their own.
Whether the sum here stated be Ovcrrated or not.
it is certain that the cost of the war has boon ten
fold greater than it ought to have been. The 60
vernneMt has its most renowned generals TO the
command, but they have proved to be ignorant Of
the modes OF Indian warfare. We think we can
name man who would put an end to war in one
short campaign, --General HENRY DODGE, of Wis
consin There would be more terror to the Semi
noles n his name, than in the regiments ofmuskets
which have hitherto opposed them. Until he was
called to the command in the late Black Hawk
war there was the Same tartiy success OF our arms
tho same disaster and defeat; but his first battle
was the forerunner Of series Of victims which led
TO speedy pcare. Government owes It to it's char
actcr to call him to the command of the Florida
war. and he owes it to his country, in this cmcr-
cency to place his executive duties in Other hands
until he can visit and restore peace to that rontior
Womcn in tho Country aud in the City, nre AZ
different as the barli-door fowl is from the bright
plunaged bird OF the untr0dden wild. In the first
place, city girls are not ohaMdsome asthose living
in the country. The former excel in dress, and
the wayy lines ofgracc they understand the art Of
showing of their feet and ankles TO better avan-
tagc but they lack tho ono thing Mcedful-ttc ma
ture. They walk npon the paved street, not the
grassy lawn, whore every foot-step is in line OF
poetry. They have grown up sorfouMded by arti-
fetal refnements; in the sickiy glare of lamps and
smoky atmosphere; their minds have not becM
totored by goddess Of nature. They do not 50 of
ten SEQ the setting sun, the Furnished Clouds the
bright artillery ofhcavsn. They feel not the bal
INV air, the dewy freshness Of the morning. They
do not hear the soughs Of birds; neither do they
soc the sharkling rvulct How then is it possible
thew can be equal those in affections, tastes, health,
and beauty, who see, and hear, and feel all these
things!
The daugtters Of people in moderate circumstan-
cos in the country are well educated. They usi-
ally spend winter in tessn, AND acquire ~ that
can DO learned ofdress, although they depend little
upon thc said Of ornament They usually undsf-
stand music and drawing: They read great deal.
Tho society they meet ia pure not Vanished rot
,enncss Their habits are simple, and their tasses
elegant.
I Toy are, without doubt, the most fascinating
women in the world; and are sought in matrimony
by city merchants and lawyers, who have amassed
fortunes, and bsing look abut for some domestic
comfort, while the city miss, who 10 never in pub
lie without being absorbed in her appearance ,and
dress, and walk, and who isalways under the re-
Strain, Of some forced prstincss, SHE thinks it Is
suffered TO dash the year away in idleness and folly,
till her nerves are worn out, and beauty gone, boz
You'd the ans ofpaint, or she marrios very young,
and is laid on ,he shelf; she deyotes herself
living her life over again in he, daughter, her
terpart.- Knickerbocker.
CevERNMENr BANKauPr.-.-A gentleman, who
was at Fort Wayne on the fifth Of this month,
informs us that there were upwards Of $780,
600 in specie in that land Office, and that there
was also large sum at Laporte. What resi-
dent Of Indiana would not prefer draft 'upon
these Offices, although they have no chartered
RIGHTS and exclusive privileges, to the bills 81
ne safest bank that ever existed! We believe
that the people Of the West are prepared for
the FINAL separation Of bank and state.
