MORE DISTURBANCE In
FLORIDA.

Extract of letter from a gentleman IN
Washington TO the editor Of The New York
Courier g. Enquirer, dated 20lh ins,:-
Mr.. Duvall has just arrived in this city,
direct from Florida, and brings intelligence
Of determination on the part Ut Gov. Nc
Call to attack the Indians. Great excite
ment is said to prevail in the territory in
consequence Of the arrangements made by
General Macomb. There is no telling 10 what
disastrous result The madness of infUriated
individuals may lead. Already has the Gov
ernor of Maine, by a hasty and injudicious
step, mulcled the general government in The
expence of million Of dollars, while the i'll
advised measures of Gov. Mccall may lead
to still moro fatal consequences.
Ifthe treaty entered into by the command
ing General Of the Government forces be
broken by the Executive of Florida, the pro-
iractcd and tedious war will be renewed with
all its attendant butcheries. most seriously
trust that the faith Of the nation pledged Ia
these Indians will not again be violaied--if
| il be, vain will be all farther attempts at
InegoclatiOn.
The conduct of Gen. Jesup is not yet for
gotten, and should that be filled up by any
rash proceedings on the part OF Mccall, the
savage may well brand us as faithless and
ircacherous
1t is sincerely to be hoped that the Presi.
dent will take immediate steps to check so
improper measure, either by the removal of
Gen. Mccall, or by issuing orders 10 Gen.
Taylor to arrest any military movement on
the part of that funciionary. We shall soon
sec whether the faith OF the nation, or the
disposition to yield to the democracy Of
Florida be paramount in the bosom Of Martin
Van Buren,.

The Salem Register Of Monday was
kind enough to copy three a'ticles from

ference to the Yearly Meeting Of the
Friends--all Of which they credited in
full to the ".Nsmpon Mercury" We
object altogether to the article respect
ing the Convention being credited 10
the Mercury, as the sentiments it con-
tains arc not eractly in accordance with
their political course, the other articles

II MORE OF TIE FLORIDA WAR; mo
pacifcation effected by General Ma
comb appears to give hugo discomfort to
the Floridians. They say that it is
nothing but shnm--tbat the chief with
whom General Mace olnb negotiated was
no chief ut all, but one made for the oc-
casion by the negro Interpreter, who is
alledged to have reported that on going
among the Indians lie found Sam Johes
so thick headed, and Wild Cat such
fool that he made Chiito Tustehugge
chief and brought him along to hold tho
peace talk with the General. Tho St.
Augustine Herald says
Whether Chito was delegated to make 4
treaty or not, he certainly had private OBJ
ject IN his visit, which was the relense Of his
two children, and his wife, or cousin, who
were prisoners at Black Creek, and who ac-
compnnicd him home. While here he used
repeatedly, in presence OF Spaniards most
violent hostile language towards Americans,
to the effect that the Indians were their mas
ters, and would have the country agaln.--
General Macomb had presented him with
very large silver medal, having on one side a
bust of the President, and on the other two
hands claspcd as asyInbol Of peace. On one
occasion, 10 mark his dsdain for the people
and the Government, he held up this medal,
spat upon it, and cast it from him with eXo-
cratlons of the greatest contempt.
A meeting Of citizens was held Mt
Tallahassee on the 8th--at which by
the way General Thomas Brown prcsi-
ded--the Canadian herO--and at which
a number Of resolutions were adopted
among them the following:
lsi. BE il therefore Rrsotred, That tho
Governor Of Florida be requested to issue his
proclamation to assemble the Legislative
Council on the first Monday in November
next at Tallahassee, and the Legislative
Council be requested, when so assembled, To
send on Committee, with their rcmoDstrance
and protest, against the ratification of any
treaty 'la, may he made 10 locate the Indians
in Florida, and that such committee unite
with the delegate in Congress in opposing
such treaty.
I,h Resolved, That the Seminole Indians,
and the inhabitants Of Florida; cannot main
tain peace and live in the same country, and
if any treaty shall he ratified, locating these
indians in Florida, it will be paper treaty
only.
9Th. RcSoIrei II Is the duty Of our citizens
III every county in Florida, to assemble and
protest against the location of the Indians in
the peninsula, and we call upon them to unite
with MS in opposing the ratification Of any
such treaty.
The resolutions were ushcred forth by
a long preamble, denouncing the treaty
in most forcibe terms, bestowing num-
her of left hand COMPILING nts upon Cen
eral Macomb, and appealing to Congress
to protect the people of Florida against
the fatal consequences of his negotiation.

publish below copy of the Treasury
Circular recently issued with regard to
vessels engaged in the Whale Fisheries,
enforcing m oncrous and burhensome
duty upon tho importation Of Oil, the
product Of American industry. We
learn Tint it was received at the Custom
House in this town yesterday, from the
official source at Washington, and will
hereafter be enforced accordingly
Thus while under the several govern
ments Of Europe this important branch
Of national industry is protected and en-
couroged by liberal bounty upon its
successful results, in our own country ,
under the administration Of Martin Va,
Buren, a technical construction ofthe law
has been avaled of, different it is be-
lieved from the purpose Intended in its
original adoption, whereby large class
OF enterprising merchants aud seamen
are made temporarily at least to suffer
Inconvenience and loss from the care
lessncss or incompetency Of the subordi,
nate agents of the government in failing
of proper performance of their duty,by
furnishing Improper and inadequate sea
papers TO vessels employed in the Whale

THE GRAVES OF THE s1GNERs

THE GRAVES-OF The SlGNEKS.
Suggested by the question--ssDo we not owe
It to the memory of the Signerso of the Decla-
ration of Independence, to collect their re-.
mains and place them in a national monu-
ment?"
Where lies our country's glorious dead7-
In graves that know no right nor name,
Where every passing wind should spread n
The story of that country's shame?
Whence, all unchecked, that rank weed shoots
It's noxious fbres through their clay;
And where, in safety, loathsome brutes
Across it drag their mangled prey -
Where human pride and hope and love
Meier meet the rugged clods above7
No: midst the dear homes of the land,
Fen as their own hearts, unforgot!
The North's stern yeoman lifts his hand,
Proud, from his plough to point the spot
And the wild school-boy he has nursed,
Beside them rests his tired knee,
And tells their names and deeds, the first
That he has known Of history;
While the warm wish looks through the eye
Like them to live, and thus to die!
And bright hued flowers sing and wave!
There naughty men Of burning words
In reverence seek each quiet grave;
And there, if lightly have been spent
Their own rich gifts of God and earth,
Up from the dust a voice is sent,
That startles them to aims of worth;
There high-souled women paused to pray
"May those we love prove such as they"
They lie, where in their glory's time,
They saved their sires' grey heads from harm;
In fruitful fields, throughout our cline,
Won from the dark woods by their arm:
Where first their children saw the light,
And where, when pressed by i'll and wrong,
As unto affairs lowered with might,
Zen yet their children's children throng,
And feel what we'll may nerve their powers
ssWhy should we sink ?-their blood is ours!'
And ye will break their holy sleep,
And bear them to some labored pile,
Where Mammon grudges time to weep,
Ambition cold to drop its guile;
Where the poor peasant ne'er could go,
To bless them for their godlike part, &
And catch spirit, still to grow,
And raise his soul and swell his heart;
Where fashion Eighty slaves would turn
From them, unto their blazoned urn!
Go solemnly and seek their shrines,
And think, while DER each honored breast,
Pure blows the breeze, the sunbeam shines,
How sweet, how lovely is such rest;
See that their memory around
Stamps freedom on each form and face;
Hear that, in dangers hour, each mound
Would be legion's rallying place;
If ye have hearts, there list their tones,
And dare to touch those hallowed bones.

THE FREsHET ON THE KENNEBEc.
The Eastern Argus of yesterday
gives some further particulars respec-
ting the destruction of the Dam at
Augusta: 3
ssThe Freshet, to which we alluded
on Saturday, has been very destruc-
tive. The river it seems, has made a
bend just above the Dam, washing
away its western bank, and taking a
circuitous course of so or 80 rods,
back again into its former channel.
Besides the damage done to the Dam,
which is probably rendered useless, a
large mill, containing eight saws, near
~ completed, has been swept away
a small two story dwelling house de-
stroyed--the large and elegant man
sion Of the younger Mr. Bridge; situa-
ted ten or fifteen rods from the river
has been, also, carried off and the
house of Judge Bridge which stood
about 80 rods from the Dam, has been
torn down. This latter house stood
on an elevation of near hundred feet
above the level of the river, which
has now precipitous bank there, OF
that height. Acres of land have, of
course, caved in, which, it is feared,
may interrupt the navigation Of the
river. Not much further damage, we
learn, is apprehended. The breach
is considerable distance above the
populous part Of the town, and will
be prevented, probably, from making
any great and additional progress, by
a ravine which intervenes about hall
way between the bridge and the dam
The spectacle about the dam IS said
to be very imposing. The water i
covered with logs which are dashine
about in every direction, and every
thing around exhibits the destructive
power Of a almighty river. Multitude.
of.people from the neighboring towns
are spectators Of the novel scene.

gence already laid before our reader.
