cling Powers have hardly made up their
minds as to the precise natuss Of the plan
of operations il may be- necessary for
them to- adopt. AT all events it seems
clear, from this interchange Of notes, that
no definite course has been preconcerted

The military preparations are progress
ing on less extended scale, $4,000 Turk

nople, and $4,000 Austrian troops are,
it is said, on their way to the coast of
Syria. The Porte is forming camp at
Kutayeh, and 5000 troops have recently
proceeded from Europe. to reinforce the
arms Of Asia Minor. The choice of this
rendezvous would lead to the inference,
that defensive operations in the. event of
lbrahim's advance are alone contemplo-
ted. ~
The Journal DIES Debats takes for
granted that the blockade will be purely
| a military one, and will not in any res.
pect interfere with the operations of com.
merce, its chief object being to proven,
the Pacha from communicating BY sea
with his army i'll Syria. The army OF
lbrallim may, however, be snbsisted in
Syria withot conveys from Alexandria,
and were not such the case the route of
the desert would be still open for the
conveyance to Syria of supplies. As,
however, it is on the coast Of Syria that
ibrahim chiefly depends, blockade
could hardly fail to prove efficient.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Sept, ID.
INDIAN FIGHT.--On Sunday last, Lieut.
Hanson, 9TH Infantry, discovering nu-
merons signs around his post at Waca-
hoota, proceeded with 80 men in search
of the trail. He had not advanced far be-
fore he received heavy fire from the
enemy who appeared in large force.
One Of his men was killed and four woun.
ded, whom he succeeded in taking back
TO the garrison. There were over hum.
dred Indians. ..
JACKSONVILLE Sept. Is. IA
IND;ANs.--Lieut. Hanson, at Waca-
hoota, has recently had an engagement
with the enemy in which he lost one
man and had four wounded. Same day
18th inst young man by the name Of
Geiger, was murdered at the same place.
On Saturday, the 18th, an Indian with
two ponies was seen about II miles from
this place. One of the ponies was ta-
ken, but the Indian with the other escap-
ed. He is supposed to be one of large
party concealed in large swamp near
that place. A scout of citizen volunteers
started this morning 10 scour the ham
mock. sas
By an arrival from Cedar Keys, we
learn that, on the 4th inst, the second
regiment Of dragons, Capt. B. L. Beall,
surprised and attacked party of about
thirty Indians. on the Wacassassie river,
and succeeded in capturing Hola- Too
Chez, sub.chief of the Micasnkies;
Hosan- Hadjo, or Craggy Moss; Holan-
re. Mathla-Chee, and No-Cos-Cilla, or
Bears Foot. The others fled to the
hammocks, whittier, according to our in
/, formant, Capt. B. with the troops under
his command, intended to pursue them,
taxing the prisoners with them, to ascer-
tain, if possible, their place Of retreat.

A SEVERE REpROOF.

The Richmond Enquirer, in referring
to Mr. Clay's allusion, in his speech AZ
Nashville, to the charges of cowardice
brought against Gen. Harrison, says
SIT is idle for Mr. Clay to raise phantom
that he might dissipate it, for no MAJ, has
pronounced Harrison a coward ,chose
opinion Is entitled to respect This is
a side blow which will fall heavily upon
many of the jealous allies of the Enqui-
rer, who thought themselves doing good
service by saying as many opprobrious
things as possible of Gen. Harrison. Per.
haps it may not be too much to expect
now that tile administration papers will
publish letter recently penned by Col.
Johnson, the candidate for the vice presi.
dency, on the same ticket with Mr. Van
Buren,, even although the said letter does
happen to contain testimony Of one gall
liant officer to the bravery of another
Baltimore american.

AN .usrurruNArE INrlurncE.-,rlh s

An ukruRTuNATE INFLurncE.-' The
presence Of the loco foco missionary,
Col. Benton, we fear, has hadsa prsjudi-
cial influence upon the pocketsof his adj
herentsin this city. Their confidence
in the Colonel's judgment, is sufficient to
blind them to the most obvious facts.
This has been manifested by .heirswill.,
ingness TO bet on the result of the PRESS
Dental election. Before his. arrival they
saw and Judged for themselves Of the
probable result, and refused TO bet; now,
intlle face Of facts more astounding than
any former developments, a few Of the
more, desperate have been pushed to the
sticking point, and have made a few bets.
From the eagerness with which every
offer to be is sought after and taken up
by the Wings, one might well suppose
that times were easy and money plenty.
No sooner is it stated publicly that bet
has been offered by loco foco, espe-
!cially if the sum is large, than he is
.overrnn with Wings. each anxious to
take itup.
Betting on elections is wrong, and
very bad policy, but we doubt whether
ii is in the power Of any one to stay it.
The only check is the conviction, which
every rejecting loco foco must entertain,
that Van Buren's day is past. and tina.
Harrison will be the next President
no. Rep.
GEN. HARRlsoN's LATE TouR.-We
learn that Gen. Harrison returned to the
city on Thursday, having travelled i'll the
stage from Columbus in 81 consecutive
hours; an act Of bodily activity which
would be regarded as feat by the boys Of
the present day. He passed from Chilli
Gothic in the afternoon of the 18th to Ian
caster; thence3 SO miles on the next morn
ing to Somerset and spoke hours; and
back again 10 Lancaster, where he rested
on the Sabbath. On Monday he proceed
ed to Circleville, and after night addressed
the people. He set out on Tuesday for
Columbus, and thence to this city. Our
Wing friends may judge of the effect OF
his speeches and his vigorous appearance
from the following remark to be found in
the "Ohio Statesman Of the 22d, shew-
ing how the '.galled jade winces. III

WHAT is WRONG 1.-THE New York
correspondent of the National Intelli-
gencer, says: alt is stated in Wall
street to-day in many quarters, that there
are more Treasury notes in circulation
than appear in the report of Mr. Wood
bury. Upon subject so important |
wish to make no statements which will
implicate the Treasury Department, for
forgeries might increase the number, and
thus lead to such suspicion or such a
result; but the attention Of the Treasury
Department should be forthwith directed
to the rumors abroad
Quere, whether the Strengthened con-
dition Of Van Buren's chance for re cleo
ton may not account for the increased
issue.-tb.

low. The bloom of fifteen summers tints
her soft cheeks, the sweets of thousand
flowers are gathered upon her round full

soft swimming eyes seem lighted by the

vers over her. as her own most IA

Love canno, stir a bosom so young. sor-

Incident on the Utica and Schenecta.
dy acknowledgements were appraised
some days since, thai sudden freshet
removed a culvert from beneath the Utica
and Schenectady Railroad. By the re-
turn of one of our citizens who was in
the first train of cars which approached
the break, we gather the following par
ticolars of the narrow escape. &
81 The gentleman states to US that it was
in the night when the down-train ap-
preached tile break. The companv's
agent on the spot when the injury oc-
CURED. departed east, to notify the up
train, but sent no word to meet the one
coming down. Most fortunately an
Irish woman, seeing the train approach
ing the gulf, humanely ran toward them,
with cries, and gestures, which were re-
peated by her children, who followed
her. until the engineers attention was Sc
cured, just in time to avoid the awful
plunge the whole train was about to
make. aE
The culpable negligence of the agent
we have not seen condemned in the pa
Pers, nor have we learned that any pro-
vision has been made,, as we certainly
think there should be, for literally re-
warding the Praiseworthy humanity of
the humble agent who probably saved
many valuable individuals from prema-
ture grave.-Bu6alo Com. .2du.
