LONG TIME AGO.

WESTERN DETTY.-ARRANGED BY c. E. HORN ON the lake where dropped the willows,
 Long time ago! Where the rock threw back the pillows,
 Curled liquid snow, Dwelt maid beloved and cherished,
 By high and low! But, alas! too soon she perished,
 Long time ago! There we met, and loved, and parted!
 Long time ago! There fingered broken hearted!
 Tears !-let them flow! To her grave they're sadly given!
 Where flow 'rets blow! She's the star missed from heaven!
 Long time ago! Rock and tree and flowing water,
 Long time ago! Bird and hee and blossom taught her,
 Love's spell to know! While to my fond vows she listened
 Cheeks in glow Her bright eyes with transport glistened,
 Long time ago! She was mine, and mine forever!
 Long time ago! Can now forget her !-never !-
 No, lost one, no! Hearts that truly love never alter,
 In veal or woe! Truth like mine could never falter,
 Long time ago!

THE RESTING PLACE.
BY REV. ,. N. MAFFITT.

 So man lieth down. and riseth not till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.'
 However dark and disconsolata the path of life may have been to any man, there is an hour of deep and quiet repose at hand. when tho body may sink into dreamless slumber. Let not the imagination be star tied if this resiing-placo, instead oft the bed of down, shall be the bed of gravel, or the rocky pavement of the tomb. No matter where tho poor remains of wearied man may lie, the repose is deep and undisturbed -the sorrOwiul bosom heaves no more the tears are dried up in their fountains the aching head is at rest, and the stormy waves of earthly tribulation roll unheeded over the place of graves. Let armies en- gage in fearful conflict over the very bosoms Of the pale nations of the dead, not one of the slecpers shall heed the spirit-stigring trump. or respond to the rending shouts of victory.
 How quietly these countless millions s!umber in the arms of their mother earth The voice of thunder shall not awake them; the loud cry of the elements--the winds, the waves, nor even the giant tread of the earthquake, shalt De able to cause an imquieiude in the chambers of death. They shall rest securely through ages; empires shall rise and fall; the brieh, miIlsnium shall como and pass awayi ihs lsst great battle shall bs fought; and then a silvss voiee. ai first bus just heard, shall rise to Q tempest ione, and penetrate ,he yolcelsss gave. For the trumpet shall sound, and Ihs dead shall hear hls voice.

Vuginia-An extra Session of the Legs
lature of this State commenced on the l2th
inst. called by the Governor to lcgalize the Sus-
pension of specie payments by the Bank and
other purposes connected with the state of the
country. We make the following extractfrom
the Governors Message.
There are those who would have no banks,
either State or Federal. and are for enforcing
an exclusive metallic circulation. This pro-
,ect, in the actual condition ofthe country, be-
lieve to be wholly impracticable and the agl-
tation of it at this period could have no other
effect than still further to derange the buSl-
ness. and oppress every interest in the com
munty. And consider it of the highest I'M
portance to maintain the credit of the State
Banks, as forming, under proper regulations
and reforms, the only practical substitute for
United States Bank; and preservation affords
the only defence against the dangerous
scheme of powerful and overshadowing ma
tional institution"

INTERESTING AND AUTHENTIC
FROM FLORIDA.

We learn from Capt. D'Lagnel, Of the Ord
nance Corps, who arrived from Garey's Ferry
on Sunday evening, in the steamer Charles
ton, Capt. Bonnell, that an express arrived at
Garey's Ferry on Friday lass, from Tampa,
which place he left on the l4th, that it is true
that Micanopy, Jumper, and others, had lett
Tampa previous to the 18th inst. but that
their departure has not induced a suspicion
on the part of the officers of the army, that
thew intended to be insncere.
Their reasons for leaving, are detailed in
several letters, that they became alarmed from
the appearance of the measles at Tampa,
which the Indians mstook for small pox.-
Abraham, the negro chief and interpreter, is
still at Tampa Bay, as Capt. D'L has been in
formed.
Micanopy sent back to Capt. Page horse
which he had borrowed and $40 also borrow
ed from Capt. Z.
NIicanopv sent word to General Jesup, that
she had a straight tongue'-implying tina. he
would fulfil his engagements.
Phillip and other chiefs had been in the
Camp at Lake Monroe, (Fort Mellon)-Phil-
ip looking emaciated. They had appeared
owing to message of Col. Harvey that he
would issue no rat.ons unless the Chiefs came
in propria persona.
The report that several men had been muir
dersd (near Big Spring. is declared to be
totally unfounded Major Whiting travelled
recently from Micanopy to Black Creek with

sicps-and he had an opportunity OF deriving

Among the new and strange things about

STRANGE and new, is a bank, which IS to be

TALLAHASSEE, June ID

Bv the news from Tampa Bay, received at
st. Marks, it appears that the worst appre-
tensions entertained as to the continuance of
the Indian war, by those who have been de-
rided as doalful croakers," are to DE realized
Our South Eastern frontier is again to be des-
olated. Many of the planters and small far
mers in Madison, Hamilton, Columbia, Ala
cua and Musqueto, had returned to their
homes, which theylmust now, for third time,
abandon to the brand of Osoola and his wor-
riors. If, as we do not doubt, the Indians
will again commence hostilities, the sufferings
and misery of the inhabitants of those coun-
ties will be almost beyond conception.
Our Governor is now absent from this city,
hunting out the maurauding bands of fugi-
tive Creeks in West Florida. The newly ap-
pointed Secretary of the Territory left Florida
about the time Of his appointment, and we
are consequently without an Executive off,
Ger here at this crisis. The Governor, we
learn, directed draft for the protection of the
Frontier, before he left for the West, $50 well
satisfied was he after his visit to Tampa, week
before last, OF the result,) and we learn the
subordinate officers are complying with all
diligence with the order; although before
they can possibly be got into the field, we ex-
pcct to hear of the desolation, by the unspar-
ing savages, of the whole South Eastern
Frontier.
The forces of Gen. J. were not considered
as sufficiently effective to justify summer
campaign, with any prospect Of favorable sue
cess. Powell and his band, who had lately
gone in to Fort Mellon, after giving the off,
ders ball play, and made other demonstra-
tions of friendship, left the Fort with the pro-
fessed object of going to Tampa to emigrate,
but had not since been heard of-I6.
