have such claims upon me. Mr.. Sprague
is not in my opinion whig. The letters
which he has signed and which have been
published, give no more proof that he is n
whig now, than such papers signed by
him at other times, show that then he was
for the administration. What he is now
doing TO prove himself whig, is not diff
ferept from what he did two years ago, ia
prove that he was heart and hand against
the wings.
Now what cause have we to hope that
Mr.. Sprague, for the merit seren years, will
be more unitorm in principle or practice
than he has been for The last screen years

FROM FLORIDA.

CAPTURE of more than 500 Indians con frmed
The Savannah Georgian Of the 9th inst
contains intelligence from Florida, confirm
ing rumors heretofore prevailing of the
capture of large boGy of Indians. The
report states that Gen. Jesup had arrang-
ed with the chiefs Of the camp, near Jupi.
ter, to meet him in council on the Goth ult
but they failed to attend, and from the dri.
wing of ponies and other indications, he
believed they were preparing to fly to the
swamps.
The General determined that they should
not escape, and ordered Col. ID. Z. Twiggs,
of the 2nd dragons, to secure them. The
Colonel arranged matters so admirably that
he succeeded in taking every individual on
The morning of the 2lst.
There were upward Of 500 men, women
and children, and among them over $50
warriors. In addition to these there were
taken I59 negroes, about 40 of whom are
capable of bearing arms Gen. Us opera
tions in the vicinity Of Jupiter Inlet have
resulted in securing upward Of GOO priso-
ners, and siencing near 300 rifles.
The New Yorker, at the conclusion Of
an article on the times, offers the following
sensible advice -
Keep out Of New York, and of all cities
at present. The times are evil, and the
present amount of trade is not sufficient to
support those already clustered in,cltIes. A
few months may witness great changes |;
but while we may hope for the best, we
should be ready for the worst. To remove
to a city now, without some assured means
Of getting living, is madness. There IS
abundance Of land yet untitled, which will
produce potatoes with proper culture F; there
is no general insurance from starvation in
the cities. As Gen. Sam. Houston ordered
after the victory of San Jacinio, we would
respectfully recommend after the disasters
Of 1877 Let the people plant corn =
Trade and the arts must bIde their time |;
the facilities Of the one aud the ability to
cherish the other are deranged and destroy
ed for the time but the earth is still fertile,
and its fruiifulness is not affected by fnan.
ell troubles. Let every man who has no
assured means Of livelihood n, present, be-
take himself TO the soil let all who can, be-
come its owners as well as cultiva,ors and
let those who cannot buy in the older States
away to the inviting prsiries and forests Of
the Great West. 1t were better TO spend
The last dollar in emigration than to remain
10 the cities with no security Of employment
for another winter.

Dear Sir--In reply to yours of the 10th
instant, hasten to remove any erroneous
differences from the rumor mentioned. The
settled policy of the Department, and one
which it makes known to all enquiries is,
to promote the resumption of specie pay
ments by the banks, so far as its limited
powers may permit.
Consequently it has not, and will not
hereafter, purchase specie beyond what may
be needed for immediate disbursement, and
in that way will neither hoard it nor compete
with others for its possession.
All we receive in any wav, will immedi-
ately be paid out again to defray the appro-
priations.
j make these statements explicitly and
promptly, and have forwarded similar ones
to Boston, in order that no injurious appre-
tensions need 6e entertained as to the fl
nancial operations of the Government.
Respectfully, yours,

Wing party with him, are playing-to pre-

for the purpose of continuing the present

people, in hopes that they will elevate them
