at the time, and we may hear OF his body
being washed upon the opposite shore in
a few days.
The poor girl was almost frantic-she
rushed to the waters edge, crying ia
Their dear, dear father For Heavens
sake, save my father !" 1t was indeed
her father. He had once enjoyed hand
some property, but liquor ruined him
lie sold his house for it, and at last his
garments. His wife had died from want,
and this daughter had supported him and
three brothers by the labor OF her hands.
He swore he would never again enter her
house, because she would not give him
llquor-he cursed her, and died while a
curse against himself yet hung upon his
lips. The daughter did not leave the
spot before midnight, and her cries appal-
led the stoutest hearts around her. Twen-
ty dollars were raised among the specta-
tors, but when handed to her, she exclaim-
ed, No no give me my father! !"
Poor girl, she called in vain. That
father was in other presence. She was
borne from the place by some friends, and

which had drawn me to the scene had de-
parted, and felt it almost sin to be hap
ply amid the wretchedness man makes for

THE FLORIDA WAR. What has be-
come OF the twenty or thirty millions ex-
pended in the Florida War?
A shrewd Yankee goes to Florida with
little steamboat which he has bought
from one of our rivers for seven thousand
dollars, and the U. S. Army pays him
three hundred dollars dag, for the mere
use Of the boat, agreeing to return the
boat in as good condition as when it was
taken. The boat is employed at this
rate from October to June, and at the enc
Of that time the owner receives from the
Treasury seUenty-tWo thousand dollars
the boat being returned in good repair
During part Of this time the boat lies a
a wharf, while the captain, who was sen
to return it to its owner, is having &
drunken frolic; and meanwhile the gov
eminent is paying for it three hundred
dollars day! In addition to this three
hundred dollars, the crew must be paid
fully provided, &c. &c. The boat ap
proaches woodpile: wood must be had
and now is the time for fine draught OF
the Treasury. Ten tsmes The value o
the aoood is moderate charge; the mon
ey is paid, and the boat moves on. A
the same rate are other purchases made
and labor employed and the patriotic
dealers who thus supply the government
are greatly saddened that the honor o
the nation should be woundedby anything
like REIMBURSEMENT Of the Florida war
This is not fancy, it is history, and w
have it from the mouth of an intelligen
gentleman in Florida, whose accoun
merits the highest confidence. From tn
same source we learn (what might hav
been we'll enough conjectured) that tn
movers of the excitement respecting Gen
Macomb's treaty are chiefly men VIII
furnish, direetlgbor indirectly, the sup
plies of the army, and the means of car
rying on the war.

tire importations of the wooden goods into
this country, is in the hands of foreign i'm
porters, or is made upon foreign account;
and even the remaining eigth, is not likely

import their goods into this country and sell

happen? The Atlas, unfolds the mystery

part, at least, to the inefiicency of the
