THE Tory PARTY.-The following
picture Of the Tories, though drawn for
that party as it exhibits itself in the
State of Georgia, will answer equally
well for any other State in the Union.
We copy it from the Augusta Sentinel.
Our opponents have no fixed principles rs
a party, and being only bound together, as
Mr.. Calhoun once forcibly said, "by the CO.
hesive power Of the public plunder," are nl-
ways ready to unite upon any question which
is likely to enable them TO secure power and
Office. Ten years ago the great majority Of
that party were National Bank men-three
years ago they hailed and supported, en- mnsse,
the Pet Bank System as n republican mea-
sure, and now they denounce and vilify,"from
Dan to Bccrsheba," as "Federnlists," ,""Aris-
tocrats," and "Bank bought slaves" every
man who does not fall down and worship the
Sui. Treasury as the only image Of true re-
publicanism Through oil these mutations
and variations they have always claimed to
be the only true democrats and republicans
in the Union. Whatever banner they rally
under is the banner Of Democracy what
ever livery they put on is the vestment of
pure republicansm, and every mrn who docs
not wenr the same motley and changeling
coat with themselves, becomes q "Bank
bought federalist" ["

THE ABDUCTION CAsE.-It was yesterday
stated by some of the morning papers, that
Marshals Gilchrist and Lyons were exonera-
ted by the Grand Jurors of the Court OF Ses-
sions from any illegal participation IN the
abduction of Marsaud and Raimond. We
did not believe that such could be the fact,
and accordingly made no mention OF It. we
now find that it is true, and that they are
exculpated from blame in the matter.
The Grand Jurors, however, have presen-
ted Mons. Aphonse De La Flechelle and
Thomas nj. Drouet, for a violation Of the
laws in forcibly and illegally nbducting the
above named persons. Drouet was the per-
son attached to the French Consulate, who
went to Fort Hamilton in company with
Gllchrist, and through his instrumen ntallty
both the prisoners were arrested and put on
board the Didon. lie has been arrested and
awaits his examination. Lyons is exonerated
on the ground that there is no evidence
against him, and Gichrist is cleared on tho
ground that when he went to Fort Hamilton
for the men with Drouet, he went with the
supposition that he (Drouet) had warrant
for the arrest Of the men, Drouct being In
structed by the Vice Consul to tell him So.
As further proceedings will doubtless be
had in the case, we forbear comment at pre-
sont.-[.M Y. Cour. &, Eng. 18Th.

ARREST OF Mons. DE LA FLEcHELLE.

i ARREST OF Mons. DE LA FLEcHELLE.
This gentleman, (says the N. York
Courier s. Enquirer of Thursday yes
terday made his appearance in the Court
of Sessions, and having delivered him
self up, was held to bail by the Record
or in So 900, which he at once procur-
cd, and was discharged. The follow
ing appear to be the facts connected
with his arrest
"OAiccrs A. M. C. Smith and G. F.
Hays having the warrant against him,
proceeds to his country seat at w Ood-
bridge, N. j. Having, Of course, no
authority to take him i'll that State they
went to magistrate and made affidavit
that he was fugitive from New York,
and upon this warrant was granted for
his arrest. The officer then went to his
country seat, where they found him in
a field, and on explaining the nature of
their business to him, he declared he
would not go, and threatened TO blow
out the brains of the first man that laid
hands upon him. lie was then told he
had the choice of coming to the office
to answer the charge, or of being ar
rested there, and detained until requi-
sition could be procured for him from
Gov. Marcy. He demurred, however,
to both these courses, and made this
remark: "La France got Algiers for
one slap in dc face, and la France will
get dis country for dis" The officers
returned to the city, and had made out
yesterday the necessary papers to be
presented to Gov. Marcy, when M. De
La Flechellc appeared, and as stated,
gave himself up. In the police Office
he remarked to the officer to whom he
had previously spoken, as to the proba-
bic dreadful consequences which would
cnsue to this country for arresting him,
"You remember vat said yesterday.
Veil, you shall sce." We only men
ton these facts, continues the Courier
s. Enquirer, to put the citizens of the
United States upon their guard against
any sudden attack from "La France"

of the Supreme Court Of this State, a
whole sale dealer ofthat city was indict-
ed for selling basket of champagne
wine to an innkeeper-the case will be
tried at the present term. Messrs At

THE FLORIDA WAR.

BY an order from the War depart
ment, under date Of Sept. nth, it ap-
pears that portion Of our little army
which had just returned from laborious
and harrassing service in the swamps
of Florida, has been ordered back tc
the same service, upon notice so short
as to leave hardly moments time fol
pre- paration. We do not say, or sup.
pose, (says the Boston Atlas,) that
there is any thing wrong in this but
it must be admitted by all, that service
in the army, under such circumstances
is any thing but sinecure, whether for
Privates or officers.
In this Order we have evidence, says
the National Intelligencer, that the war
as it is called, in Florida, is any thing
but ended. We hear, indeed, that the
officers serving in Florida, are of opin-
ion that there is no prospect of its be-
ing ended shortly. We are not by any
means sure that it would not be wiser,
as well AZ more human, that the advice
had been taken which was given to the
Executive some time ago, to let the
Indians continue to occupy, without
molestation, those swamps and glades
in the Southern part of the Peninsula,
which arc unfit for the habitation of the
white man.

sPsWe have received the first num-
Der of new monthly periodical, cnti-
tied "THE AMERICAN PnRENoLoGIcAL
Journal and MISCELLANY. Published
in Philadelphia, at So per annun, by
A. Waldie. The object of the work
will be "to preserve from oblivion the
most interesting of the very numerous
facts, confirmatory and illustrative of
the truth Of Phrenology; to show the
true bearings of this science on Edu-
cation, physical, intellectual, and mo-
raj; Oh the Medical Treatment Of the
Insane; on Jurisprudence; OH Thcolo-
gy, and on Mental and Moral Philoso-
ply" On all these subjects, the editor
has encouragement to hope for contri-
buttons from several able pens, while
his own resources, ,he trusts, will not
be found inconsiderable. The work is
got up in good style, and we doubt not
from the specimen before us, will be
found worthy Of patronage. Each num-
Der is to contain one or more cuts, with
explanations adapted to the same.

The eclipse on the 18th, was distinctly
visible at New York, and is thus described
by the Evening Star:
The great .4nnuior Eclipse yesterday af-
ternoon will long be remembered, as one OF
the most beautiful Of Astronomical phenomena
the present generation will ever have an op.
porlunity Of observing. The afternoon clear
ed off fine, and the sun was scarcely dimned
but for a moment by some light fleecy clouds.
| At the time computed, tho northern and un-
jer edge Of the suns disc began to indicate
q slight indentation, which in few nome nts
exhibited the appearance ofa piece Of coin
with nib or clip in it. Then the transit of
the moons dark body as il progressed, di-
ininshed the sun to all the phases Of the
moon from the full to the last quarter, and
finally to q very slender crescent, whose deli
cately pointed horns more and more extend
I'd themselves, ultimately all but joined to-
gcther below into superb ring Of brightest
gold. The ring was nearly completed per-
feet and Of uniform thickness, except at the
very lowest part, where dividing black line
across seemed TO have been left as il were
by design. The body Of the moon now seem.
ed a smooth globular black ball on the centre
Of tho sun, the edge OF each unbr6ken. The
astronomers were mistaken as to any irrcgu.
larty. The sky was deep dark blue twi.
light and chilly. All the leaves reflected
myriads Of brilliant crescents alongside the
dark shadows. At 5 the moon passed or

Il REAL ESTATE IN NEw YoRK.-It may be
our readers will recolect, that the CONNER
cial Insurance Company purchased, two years
ago, the estate No. Al, Wall street, opposite
the Merchants Exchange, for s02, GOO. The
lot il - feet front and III feet deep, and
has OH it a very good building, erected on it
Il few years ago at an expense Of Sl7, COO, by
the then owner, who had bought the lot at
S300 600 The purchase Of the Commercial
Ins. Co. was made in the very highest Of high
prices, and was considered at the time, one
of The dearest purchases ever made in Wall
street. Well, what have they done now, but
just gone, in these times when every body is
ruined, and sold the estate TO "Thc Am. Life
Insurance and Trust Co." Of which John
Duer, Esq. is President, for the round sum OF
100000! The building is now rented to
various tenants Tor an aggregate OF SlO,O15,
aud a large portion CT the rents were con-
tractcd tor last Spring. There arc a great
many people who say these things are oil
wrong,-that such prices can never be sus-
tained, and certainly it will all go back. The
going back has been OF the same sort ever
since the commencement OF the city and
we do not see that future events are likely to
sustain the reputation of such prophets any
more than the past. We believe that an
estate which in bad times will rent for Sl0,-
675, is worth = ,0O0 and it is only by op.
posing guess work 10 ali experience, that diff.
II ierent results are attained. We care not
