THE TALK.-Ho-la-too-chee end about
dozen Indians with names of similar d.
mensions, which we do not remember OF
seeing in print, have come from the West
to Fort King, for the purpose OF persuad-
ing their brethren to emigrate.
Tiger-Tail and about $50 others have,
it is said, made a morning call upon their
old friends, with many protestatlons OF
"no cheating this lime," propose ADJOURN
ing deliberations to Tampa Bay.
The eighth Regiment and other troops,
amounting in all to 1900 men, arc at Fort
King, and would give more for the influ-
ence of three French Canadians over the
Indians, than for that Of the best regiment
in the service.
However, we approve of the Talk
The indians have been drowned ou| OF
their swambs-their families have been
brokcnup-they want clothes-thcy want
ammunition. and if the discussion is not
permitted to turn upon predestlnatlon or
any other point Of peculiar knottlness,
which the indians cannot understand, we
conceive it possible that they may be talk
cd out Of the country.
A story with various details about the
bloodhounds, &c. is going the rounds,
that three white men had been arrested
for connection with the indians. We be-
leve that three white men have been ar

More M1ians.-A detachment of ten
men from Capt. A. Burney's company un-
der command of Lieut.. News, on Satur-
day the 18th inst. was scouting near the
head of the Siccohopko, when they heard
a rifle fire, and on going to the place, they
saw an indian re-loading his rifle. They
Immediately fired on him and killed him.
They then proceeded up the same stream,
and en- the morning ofthc 18th inst. Lieu
tenant News fired his rife at another, and
supposed to have wounded him, but he
made his escape. They had proceeded
but few miles, when they discovered a
small party of indians on which they fired,
and killed one, but the others succeeded
in carrying him off and concealing him in
the swamps. 1t would be advisable for
all citizens on the frontiers west of Tai
!ahassee, to be on the look out as there is
supposed to be more Indians in that Sec
ton of country, than has yet been there
since they lately commenced hostilities.

THEORY OF THE W1ND.-Wind has
been explained in the following manner:
Hea ted air has tendency to rise, and
cold air rushes in to supply its place.
Thus the heated air of the equatorial re-.
gions rises and gives place 10 current
sent from the polar regions, which is a
process that serves to equalise the tenn
perature of the world. But the polar
countries lying near the axis ofthe sphere,
the air from those regions has not receiv-
ed SO much motion as about the equator,
or greatest distance from the axis; where
fore, it arrives at the equator where the
motion Of the earth is greater. If il had
no motion before, an east wind would be
the consequence, and the force of that
wind be, as the difference between the
motion Of the earth where the air came
from, and that where it arrived; but then
il has motion to the south; for it is lush-
ing into vacuum left the air which rises;
so that the wind will not be from the east,
but therorth east and the number Of de.
grees north of the east from which it will
blow will depend upon the comparative
force of the current Of air from the north
to the difference between the earth's mo-
.tion at the equator AMI at the polar re-
gion, from whence the air comes. As
there must te corresponding efllux from
the equator higher up, according to this
theory, the wind should every where be
northeast or southwest, but it blows in
very different directions at different times
and places: and this probably depends on
the variations in temperature at different
times and places.

INFANT SCHOoLs OF AGRICULTURE AND
HORTICULTURE IN FRANCE. An establish
ment has lately been formed in the de-
partment of Gard, for giving practical
lessons in Horticulture and Agriculture to
children. Full success has attended the
attempt, and the example is about to be
followed in other quarters. Two acres Of
empty land were divided into nursery, corn
land, flower gardens and kitchen gardens
Al! the inhabitants of the neighborhood
assist in conveying instruction to the chill
dren or in smoothing their progress. a
regular instructor is appointed. who gives
lessons on gardening, in which he is aided
bv the cult;vators who live near. The
Mavor and the Cure employ their infu-
ence in putting aside such obstacles as pre-
udicc or long established custom might
throw in their way. The forest ranger is
useful in pointing out the exact state OF the
laws respecting trees, and the propretors
OF land supply seed, corn and flowers.
Half Of the produce is given up to the In
structor, portion Of the other half IS
distributed as recomDense amongst the
pupils, and the remainder is sold to the in
habitants of the village. Alter some time
a considerable sun is raised for these sales,
the money IS laid out in def aging the gen
eral expenses, i'll purchasing tools, in provl-
ding seed without being .;adebted for 1T to
the kindness Of the proPr;ctors, and IN
creasing the cmoluments of the instructor.
Tie little farm is thus found TO advance
rapidly to perfection, and in short time is
the most productive SPOT OF ground in the
country of course it IS understood that all
the work is done by the pupils: were it
otherwise, the object Of the institution
would &c entirely lost as practical ins;ruc-
zion would 10 longer be given. These in
