LATE FROM FLORIDA.
To The Editor Of the MddisoRiaH.
December 80.


srR:-The people will perceive in an official COM
muncation from the General commanding the Army
Of the South, published about the last Of October,
that he seems in part, 10 account for the delay and
difficulty attending the Seminole war, by stating the
fact that this is the first time the government have
attempted to remove savage tribe from one cii-
dcrness to that of another" That heretofore Indians
have been removed from their lands after the en-
croachmehts Of the white man had become great,
as to make obvious to the Indians themselves that
they could no longer exist, peaceaby and prosper
onay, IN the possession of their country. Hence,
their removal has been effected with comparative
ease, and in accordance with much better huma-
nifty
II appears to be certain, that far relates to the
Seminole the case is entirely different. The people
have right, and ought to inquire, what was the ne
cesSity Of their removal from this wilderness to
another" What justice was this toward the pcdeea-

A rabid Loco Oco- fedcral-dcstructiUe cor
respondent Of the Globe begins commune
cation, which the Globe ought to have been
ashamed to publish, with the following:
Messrs BLAIR and RIvEs heard, with establishment
Mr. Rves, of Virginia in his speech in the Senate,
Monday, taunt the Democratic party in Maine with be-
ing IN the minority, and point cn satisfaction and nc
heht the great federal in that State at the last
September election conclusive evidence that public
sentiment in that State in favor Of his bill.
There never was more barefaced false
hood or SANDER coined, than is contained in
the above silly paragraph, as several hundred
Witnesses, who heard Mr.. Riycs, will bear
testimony.
But the statement contains, perhaps, quite
as near relation to truth, as its authors mis-
representation Of a majority Of his constituents,
bears to their wishes. The fabrication is
worthy Of his distinguished zeal in the cause
Of Loco-Foco federalism and destruction.

THE LATE ELECTION m NEW YORK.


Mr. HUBBARD, in his speech in defence ofthe Sub
Treasury bill, In which he occupied the new (for
hm) position Of denouncer Of The Pet Bank
system" system which he has heretofore been most
active in endeayoring TO sustain went incidentally
into the New York election and attempted to defend
the specuations Of the Presidents Message IN re-
gard the influence Of the banks upon the elections
of that State
Mr.. TALLMADoE, very properly regarding this as
"poaching upon his manor" repealed The charge
brought against the people he represented, with be-
coming severity and indignation. He demonstrated
by facts and figures to The most perfect satisfaction Of
every mind that there was not the least foundation
for the allegation Of Bank influence, and the infer
ence of corruption While he demonstrated what
pas mol the cause Of the great change in New York,
he also proved clearly what the real induce
of the spontaneous rising of the people Of that
state, in opposition TO the men their own votes had
contributed 70 elevate TO power.
He spoke with great earnesiness, force and eo-
quence for nearly an hour and with great effect His
peculiar relation 10 The administration and The charge
he felt called upon TO repel rendered his position on
this occasion highly interesting. His remarks are in
course Of preparation, and we hope publish them
in our next paper

: Resolved That we have already suinclrnl ex-
emnl6eation Of the odous effects OF the Sub Urea
sury scheme ia the MILLIONS or DOLLARS LOST 70 the
Nation, by Executive officers acting as SUD Ifea-
sHrers
the State Of New York, are requested earnestly TO
oppose the thew expedentn for if adopted, the
grass will grow in the streets Of this commercial EN-
porium, and The Mechanic and Laborer be com
PEELED to abandon the home OF his choice, and seek
new avocations in other lands.
Resolved That il appears to be the opinion OF our
rulers that the mechanic and artisan are the natural
antagonists Of the merchant and manuiaclufer.-
Thai the catch words used Of divorce OF Bank and
State, the poor against the rich, and other I'M
worthy appeals % prejudice, are viewed by us win
contempt; that all classes of society have mutual
dependence each other, and the attempts to create
dissentions between them should ever be frowned
upon by an enlightened people.
Resolved That the period Of delusion Is past, and
those of US who have heretofore credited the profess
sons of the radicals and ultrass Of the day, are adj
monished Of their hollow-heartednesS by the blight
ming effects which have followed every step of their
career and that we will hereafter support for office

People

Focos thai they the exclusive opponents of
an irredeemable paper currency, after they have,
through the agency of the government, brought upon
the country this great calamity is bnt another evil
dence of their profigacy and desperation.
Resolved That we have no political object TO ac-
complsh oiherthan TO check those ambitious nsurpa-
tons which separate the government from The People.
That becomes TO resent the sentiments expressed
by our svraaL that are apt to look too much 10
CoUeraasat for relief in the time of peril and that
"Ae People mMSt take care of hen,setres."
Resolved, That the suffering and distress which
exists amongst the laborng classes in this city, as
well as amongst the merchants and manufacturers,
is unparalleled in history; that with all the ele-
ments of prosperity in possession, we are sud
denly Frustrated by war Of The Government against
our Institutions and Currency and that an abandon
ment of their present cruel policy, wouldin short
period, restore confidence, awaken energy, create
demand for labor and diSpel the gloom which now
overshadows the land
Resolved That we repel with scorn any insinua-
ton from whatever direction II may come, that the
result Of the late election in this Stale was produced
by any other influence than that Of patriotism oPe-
rating on the minds of feemen excited by the dan
ger which awaited our cherished institutions from
misguided and corrupt partisans.

TFaoM ANornGa--same oate.l

The meeting Of the Mechanics last night In oppo-
sition to the Sub Treasury was immense--hundreds
were compelled 10 leave, not being able to obtain
entrance to the large Hail. while the meeting at
Tammany was in numbers and quality quite con-
temptibe. There Is deep and abiding sentiment
among this people in regard to the conduct Of their
rulers, that will teach all future politicians the dan
ger Of abandoning the principles which elevated
them to power.

LIEUT., POWELL'S BATTLE

FURTHER PARTIcuLARs-An extra from tho Office
of the ST: Augustine Herald, dated "Wednesday, Jan.
24th,) received by Tuesdays mail, furnishes some
further details OF Lieut. Powes battle with the Indians.
as contained in extract Of letter from officer OF
the army, dated,
EAST FLORIDA, Jan. Is, 1888.
I'VE are now lying in camp about % miles due west
from India River Inlet We about 81 miles from
Fort Basinger Fort Basnger is post established by
Col Taylor on the Kssimmee about so miles, by that
river, from Fort Gardner, which is the Klssmmee,
about from Tampa Bay.
Lieut. Powell, of the navy. had a fight on tho 18th
inst. at Jupiter Inlet. An old woman, pretending not
to see the troops, allowed herself TO be takcn and pro-
missed TO show where some Indians were They met
the Indians but the sailors broke and Lieutenant
Powell saws that had it not been Tor the company OF
artillery under Lieut.. Fowler, which was with him, his
whole command would have been cut 10 pieces.
The company Of artillery had TO prolec, their retreat
and il was as much as The officers could do to keep the
sailors from breaking into full run 10 the boats, and
pushing off Most OF the sailors wounded IN tho
back Lieut. Fowler wounded IN the thigh He,
however mounted the back OF negro and continued to
encourage his men The artillery relrcated in good or
der, or rather they kept up fire retiring There was
nothing like running among them, Whilst retiring on
the back OF the negro Lieut. Fowler received Ball IN
his back. 1t is not known whether the bali passed
through him round under the SKIN All The officers
were wounded except r. Johnson, who has, how
ever no less than seven balls through his hat and
clothes ".
There were not than so Indians and they might
have been whipped but for the sailors, the fight was
in the open pine barren with the undergro"th burnt or
perhaps even was, If the regulars had not been
afraid that the sailors would take to the boats saa leave
them Bt for The regulars all would have been killed
as il was all the dead and wounded man were left
behind and ono boat with box Of ammunition
fell into the hands of the Indians Three Indians we're
seen dead The assistant surgeon (of the navy) and
his attendant were killed while dressing the wounded
Our loss was, believe, five killed and twenty DOE
wounded, it may have been twenty-onc killed aud
wounded. -.

To Messrs. WIN DAVIS, aud others.

The Courier Dcs Efats Unis, of New York,
an able neutral paper, expresses the opinion
of Mr.. Rives's project, that though it may fall
short of satisfying the wants of the country, it
is far preferable TO the one proposed by the
Government; and expresses a hope that the
former NAV be adopted ..

The Globe denies that Mr.. ATHERToN sent
away any Of the Conservative addresses.
We never knew the course which some Of
those addresses had taken, until we were edi-
fled on the point by quotation from the Wash
ington Correspondent of the New York Eve
ming Post. From il we learnt, that all sorts
of bribery and fraud were going on in the
walls of the capitol, and that many demo-
cratic" Representatives had sent away " Con-
servative treason"
Now, the thing is in part denied by the
Globe.
We would respectfully ask that model ofcon-
sistency, whether one of its editors was not
employed to coin the words, which the Globo
itself now refuses to swallow! Is not the
Washington Correspondence of the N. York
Evening Post edited at the Globe Office?

MANUFACTURES OF MASSACHUSETTS the last
session Of the Legislature, law passed requiring GER
tain officers make return to the Secretary OF the
Commonwealth Of the various articles manufactured in
the different cities and towns together with their value,
the Of capt al invested and the number Of per-
sons employed in manufacturing. In some cases the
officers, while performing their duty, adhered strictly
the questions proposed while mothers pains taken
to gather and present statistics Of branches Of industry
not particularly specified in the requsifinn The sggre
gate is therefore believed to be much less than II would
have been had all the officers carried ont the views Of
the Legislature to their full extent II shows however
that the total value Of the articles manufactured in Mas
sachuSetts for the year ending April 1887 is eighty
six millions hundred and eighly-two thousand six
hundred and sixteen dollars. The number Of persons
employed is set down at 1882. There are means
ofascerainng the value of the materials used in
manufacturing which produced in other countries,
but is believed from what is known, that the addition
al value given to those materials by the creative in
dusy Of the people Of Massachusetts, is at least equal
TO the value Of the entire crops of any of those States
whose staple articles constitute the prominent OBJ
Jects Of our national export. In addition it may be pro-
per mention hatthe above estimate does include
Except the productions Of wool aud the isheres) any
of the statistics of agriculture commercials.

The friends Of William G. Rives will be gratihed
to learn that the Bill which he has introduced to the
Senate IS meeting with the appreciation Of the peo.
assured that vast majority Of the American people
will hail The introduction Of this measure with the
most unbounded satisfaction because it Is the only
true Democratic measure, and large majority Of
the people are Democrats in sentiment and feeling.
Mr. Rives' bill will pass both Houses Of Congress
for we cannot before that the Senators from Ohio,
Maine, Connecticut, New York. and other States, will

order in which they have been proponnded.

not.
3D. You ask me If am in favor OF National Bank
Of any description ! answer, am mol
am of the opinion that Congress has power to
create banking corporation, and that If it had, it
would be highly dangerous and nexpcdent to do So
To the third inquiry pioponnded to me- reply that the
project Of exclusive metallic currency is in my opin-
ion entirely inpractcable, and unsted to the habits
the circumstances. and the commercial prosperity Of the
people ofthe United States. That 1t opposed the
credit system, which under proper regulations and by
proper organization, is highly conducive to general
interests and welfare The idea Of exclusive me-
tallic currency is nowhere seriously entertained The
question has been nowhere made between credit and
credit The leading inquiry is how credit shall be
ganzed and established to subserve the purposes
Of sound currency and of uniform medium Of circu-
lation and exchanges. The principle on which we
should act in reference to this subject is in my opinion
well regulated system Of paper credit for
mercia transactions, with gold and silver for neigh
horhood and domestic exchanges In relation to the
Sub Treasury scheme, to which you have been pleased
to direct my attention, will simply remark, that the
separation now existing between the Government and
the banks has been brought about by the operation Of
law the actual condition Of the banks since they have
refused to redeem their issues aud liabilities, aud must
and should, continue until these causes shall be
moved and that the proprlcty Of the recommendation
Of Mr. Van Buren, perpetuae this separation, and
provide other fiscal agents in lieu Of the deposite banks
must depend on future contingencies In the present
posture of the banks, and the actual condition Of our
currency can see no objection TO the plan Of the Pre-
sden If the contingency shall ever arise upon which
the public revenue may be safely deposited with the
banks, the deposite should, in my opinion be made
special one not subject to be used as the basis OF bank
ing by the institutions employed
