CONSUMPTION.

The late lamented death Of Doctor
Bushe from that form of consumption
known as chronic bronchitis, painfully
reminds me of duty the subscriber
owes to his profession and to society,
of making known a simple form of
treatment that has never ia led him in
curing this form of consumnton, so de-
stTuctive to the clerical and and Itera.
~ profession. This treatment is of
nearly equal efficacy in catarrhal
phthiss, and is valuable remedy for
consumption in all its forms when in its
chronic stages, and free from any in
fiammatory symptoms. This treatment
is based on the pathology of consump.
ton, as the generic name for disease.
Under the name Of consumption are
included that variety of diseases of the
lungs, attended with expectorstion of
purulent matter from the breathing sur.
face of the lungs, connected with ema.
citation, hectic fever, and its concom.
itants, night sweats, colliquative diar-
rh1a, DC. All the forms Of consump.
ton act on the general health from one
common cause.-The presence Of matter

OUR INDIAN AFFAIRS learn
by an express which'arrived here ON
Thursday from Gen. Jessup's Head
Quarters, that information had reached
there that the Indians were assembling
10 great numbers in the neighborhood
of Fort King. They expressed nothing
but the most friendly intentions as
usual. Orders however have been CIV
en- to the commanders ofposts TO be on
the alert. Ii is said to be General
Jessup's opinion that they contemplate
an attack upon some point he has
gone TO Fort King. Gen. ]. has or
dered the purchase Of horses and mules
for the ensuing campaign.
The force to be employed in the
coming campaign will be large, and we
are inclined to think, very efficient. -
The lst and part of the 2J Regiments
ofInfan,ry, and the remainder Of the Cd
Regiment Of Dragons, have been or.
dered to Florida, and from 1900 to 20.
90 volunteers, mostly Floridians, and
well mouatsd, have peen raised, organ
lzed aud mustered into the service OF
the United States, together with 1000
Indians, of various northern tribes, now
on their way to Florida. The whole
Army will probably be composed Of
about 5000 men.
We are informed by gentlemen
from st. Joseph that information had
been received at that place of an en-
gagement Of Col. Crowns command
with the Indians in West Florida, near
Alaqua. Capt. Hawkins of the Frank
lin volunteers, is said TO have behaved
very gallantly and received three
wounds, none of which, however, are
considered dangerous. HIS first Liuet.

LEGEND OF HAMILTON TIGHE.


The captain is walking his quarter deck,
With clonded brow and Blended neck
One eye is down through the haichway cast,
The other turns up 10 the truck on the mast;
Yet none of the crew may venture 10 hint,
" Our skipper hath gotten a sinister squint."
The captain again the letter hath read
Which the bum. boat woman brought out 10 Spit
head;
Still, since the good ship sailed away,
He reads that letter three times a day;
Yet the writing is broad and fair TO see,
As a skipper may read in his degree,
And the seal is as black, and broad and as dat,
As his cockade, in his own cock'd hat;
lie reads aud he says, as he walks 10 and fro,
course the old woman-she bothers me so %
He pauses now, for the boatswa aims hail
- On the larboard quarter a sail a sail ="
That grim old captain he turns him quick,
And bawls through his trumpet for Hairy faced

The breeze is blowIng-away away!
The breeze is blowing--a race a race
The breeze is blowing we near the chase

With his sword in his hand and his foe at his knee,

recognition Of the independence of the
Republic by England cannot present
any difficulty. Now it remains to be
seen whether the People ofTexas will
sanction this new policy of their lead
ers, which l much doubt.
The President of the Republic
wishing to give chance to the voIun-
1eers' now On duty at the camp, of ma
KING a location Of their lands, has sus-
pended-until by proclamation the
contrary shall be made known-the ex-
ecutlon Of the land Office law, which
was to go into operation on the LIST day
OF June. 1t is expected that one-haif
OF the volunteers will soon be allowed
10 depart on furlough for the purpose of
making their locations, and on their re-
turn to the camp, the other half will
OBTAIN the same favor. By this means,
the cupidity Of the land spectators
VIII be neutralized, and the discomfort
OF the soldiers allayed. The latter ap-
pear to be much dissatisfied and divi-
ded as to who ought to command them;
some being in favor Of Gen. Johnson,
and others Of General Felix Houston.
The latter has just returned to the ar
my, and the former to Houston, with
the intention Of resigning. Col. Hen
~ Teal fell victim to the vengeance
oia turbulent soldiery, having been
cruelty murdered in his bed in the
camp. The villains who committed
the crime have not been found out.
The volunteers are becoming very un-
manageable.

Our Indian 86cirs.-Since our last,
affairs have assumed a more serious as
pect, and We regret to state that the
prospects OF the termination of our pref
ty little acdr" are more gloomy than
ever. An express arrived here on Sat
day last from Fort Mellon, the purport
OF which, we understand to be, that a
number of negroes had come in at that
post, who state that the Indians had
held meeting, deposed .Micanopp, and
elected San Jones their prin cipal chief.
They further state that at the next new
moon the Indians would commence o.
pen hostilities.
These negroes, it is said, give some
particulars Of the battle at Fort Mellon.
They state that they attacked the fort
with 600 warriors, and soon after their
repulse, they were reinforced with 300
more, and were preparing for another
onset when they received information
Of the cessation Of hostilitles.
The steamboat Charleston touched
at Picolata yesterday from Fort Mel
lon it is stated that a considerable
number Of Indians are in the neiehbor-
hood ofthat post who daily come in
and receive rations and go out again.
An express arrived this morning
from Tampa, the contents of which are
reported to be of an unfavorable ma
ture. 1t is reported, and confidently
believed that the Indians have all left
their camp & returned into the nation.
These reports seem to confirm each o.
Their. We have now but little hope
that the war will be ended by negotia-
ton. The Indians have been enabled
to possess themselves fmuch informa-
ton, and are doubtless embol1ened by
their intercourse. If a resort to arms
again become necessary, we apprehend
much bloody worl1.-He9ald.
