WHITE PIGEON

~ When too late for correction last week,
wo discovered wrong inflicted upon our beauti-
ful neighboring village, by "gentlcman travel
ing west," in the following paragraph.
About three miles from here is White Pigeon,
situated upon prairie Of the same name. What
delightful place is this to behold in summer
A neat little village upon and surrounded by a
broad plain, all glowing with vegetation--what
more pleasing? But it is in want of water pow
or and commercial advantages, without which it
cannot become place ofextensive business hav-
ing nothing to recommend it save the beauty of
its locality, and being upon the great Chicago
road
The error is in relation to tho water power
Toa stranger, merely travelling through on the
Chicago road, the statement above would appear
strictly correct; but lot him step only few rods
south of the village, butt just off from the prairie,
to Pigeon Creek, and he will discover that there
is good water power, and q large Touring mill
SO far advanced in the process Of erection, that
there can be no doubt as to its completion the
present season. We have no doubt, but that
when these facts como 10 the knowledge of the
writer of that letter. he will agree with us in the
opinion that White Pigeon has something be-
sides the "beauty of its locality" to make it, at
some future day, place Of extensive bus mess.

rIom tuc OioDc, may
From F2orida.--Oficial reports to the
9th June have been received from Tampa
Bay. These reports state that on the night
of the I'd instant, the Micausaukies, about
two hundred in number, surrounded the
camp of Micanopy, Jumper, and Cloud, and
forced them away. The orders from Sam
Jones and Oseola were not to modest any
white man. Micanopy refused to go, say.
ing that he he'd signed treaty, and should
hold it. He was answered that if he did
not go his blood would be split. His reply
was to kill him there, and to do it quickly /:
they, however, forced him on his horse,
and carried him off. Jumper having sold
all horses, they forced him to walk. The
sincerity of Mycanopy and Jumper cannot
be doubted. Cloud, however, was Away
traitor, and was the only one who had
been warned of what was to take place.
Gen. Jcsup states that the scheme of
emigration has entirely failed, and that he
shall Immediately discharge the vessels
which had been employed to carry the
Indians off, He docs not anticipate a
renewal ofhostilities. Measures have been
taken to place the troops in position so as
to cover the country.

has been discovered, that it is not money, but
quite another article that is scarce and the great
cause of all the pressure-viz: sample security"
The New-Jersey legislature has adjourned, with

From the Baltimore American. June Is.
EXTENSIVE INUNDATION.

By far the most extensive and destructive
calamity, with which the city of Baltimore
has ever been visited, was experienced on
Wednesday night. The heavy showers of
rain which descended on that night, caused
sudden and extraordinary rise of the wa
tiers of Jones' Falls, tearing up the mill
dams and wooden bridges which cross the
upper parts of that stream, and bringing
them down against the stone bridges within
the city limits. The arches of the latter
being thus INSTRUCTED, and rapidly choked
up by the timber, plank and other wooden
fragmentst sweep away from above, the wa.
tiers rose with fearful rapidity about che
o'clock in the morning, spreading over q
large space Of the lower parts of the city,
to greater or less height, and doing most
extensive injury as well to those districts as
to the improved property binding on each
side of the falls.
A calamity so sudden, so unlocked for,
and so widespread in its effects, occurring
too at the dead hour Of night, was not, we
regret to say, confined to the loss of prop
erty only:--a number OLIVES were lost, in.
GLIDING among other cases, whole family
of five persons-father, mother, and three
children-who were awakened from their
sleep to meet at moments warning a
simultaneous death. The number of those
who persisted is not ascrtained at the time
we are writing, but we hope TO be able to
make, as nearly as may be. an accurate
statement before this paper is closed.
We devoted some hours yesterday to the
heartsickening duty of examining this ex.
tended scene of devastation, but in attemp-
ting description oft we are fully satisfied
that nothing that we can say on the subject
will furnish the reader with an adequate
idea ofits character and magnitude.
Those only who have gone over the
ground as we have done, and Witnessed in
detail the effects Of the freshet, can duly es-
innate the nature of the calamity which in
a few hours has visited with damage or
ruin some hundreds of our fellow citizens.
A postscript in the Baltimore Patriot
says-"We have just learned that twelve
or thirteen persons have been drowned in
the shantees on the Susquehanna railroad
and that the loss of property there has been
immense"

" London and Liverpool papers to the Gath
May, have been received by late arrivals at Now
York. Hard times and the church rate measure

'mong the great evils Of present complaining
there. In France, tue weather was Indictment
and unreasonable, and the most important public
matter was the preparation for the approaching
the war in Spain, the Courier and Enquirer has
the following sketch:
"The expected advance of the Christine troops
and the English Legion from Saint Sebastiana,
took place on the fourteenth of May, but ON the
twelfth, the Carlist army under the Infante, Don
Sebastian, evacuated tho heights which surroun-
ded that place, and commenced its march to Ma
varrc, after Withdrawing the cannon and leaving
the works defencelsps. Under these circumstan-
COS, Generals Espaftero and Evans met with lit
tie resistance, except at Irun, where garrison Of
few hundred irregular troops had been left.-
They succeeded in gaining possession of this place
and there the last accounts left them; in the mean
time Don Sebastian seems bent ON carrying the
war beyond the Ebro, and profting by the dis
content in the capital, and tho successes of the
Carlist chiefs in Catalonia, Valencia and ARA
gon. This attempt no had before been prevent
cd making, by the large Christine force in posi-
ton at Bilboa Ind Pampeluna, and the Portuguese
at Vittoria-all of which could have easily formed
junction and overwhelmed Carlst army on
tho Ebro. The contending parties have now
completely changed their positions. The Chris
tinos are collected in the north extremity of the
Peninsula, whilst the Carlists have descended
from their Basque fastnessos and are pushing
forward for wider field of action. How these
mountaineers will behave on the plains, remains
yet to be seen, but they and their leaders have
certainly ovinced energy and perseverance, which
was little expected when the contest began. Bar
celona, a most important city, is on the point Of
falling into the power of the Carlists."
From the aspect of affairs in Africa, it appears
that the French army is not likely to gain many
laurcls. From that country, as well as from
Spain, there may yet be something worth pub
fishing.

TT z PRESIDENT AND TUE BANK.

Il - IhEIOlDE1N AMI NE DAMN
Those who believe that the President
will be inundated by the noisy clustering
of the wings will find themselves muchmis.
taken. He is firm in his opposition to
a United States bank and those banks
which have failed to perform their con-
tracts with the Government t, must either
toe the mark or feel the operation of tho
law.
1t is believed that there is no cause for
their suspending specie payments; it was
a concerted contrivance of the New
York and Philadelphia merchants, bro
kers, and spectators, to shield their insol-
vency and overtrading: by which step
a panic was created, which resulted in
general suspension throughout the Union.
1t is said that the Biddle wings will not
ask for a United States bank the reason
for which is, that the Biddle bank has lost
its character by suspending specie n.y.
ments, and its stability is strongly suspected.
Mr.. Biddle knows that Congress will ncv-
or charter his bank, and bank of the Uni
ted States would ruin the United States
Bank of Pennsylvania.
How the wings will get out of this diff
Guilty is serious question to them. The
Biddle wings can never be brought to des-
ecrate the golden calf; and the United
States Bank wings will contend for new
bank. What between the "bayonets"
Of the Biddle wings, and the "bayonets'
of the new bank wings, "Uncle Sam" rs in
a fair way of being "used up"
Oh! what shallow thought, what contemp-
tible bravado, what ridiculous consequences
have the bank wing merchants exhibited in
the present crisis. Is it possible, that at this
late day, they suppose the people cannot
intelligently weigh their strength, their pat
riotism, their talents ?-Their ostentat;ous
show, their fictitious wealth, and moro ficti-
tious claims to wisdom, may deceive their
satellites, and call around them the host Of
brainless politicians, that swell the fclcy
jargon of their craf--but the people ~
