FOREIGN News.

The foreign news y the Britannia and British
Queen will be found on our outer page. Tn,
Queens speech is said to have been more barren
than ual. Nothing laid in relation to the
affairs of France. The threatened war hetween
that country and England in consequence of tn
dilicu ties in the East, seems to have been blown
over. The French stock-job'ers are supposed to
have been at the bottom of the matter, and it is
said NJ. Theirs, the French minister, was connected
with them in some degree, and has acquired hand
some fortune of several millions of francs by ihr
operation. The Harvest in E,,gland seems TO have
been highly favorable and grain had in consequence
somewhat declined.

Facts for the People.

The Sunbury Gazette is trying to make some Of
its readers believe that Charles w. Hegins as well
as ourselves, opposed TO Gov. Porter Now
we appeal TO Mr. Youngman himself, and ask him
an honest man, TO say whether Charles w. He
gins and ourselves have not always been among
the very wsrmest of Gov. Por,er's friends. We
ask Mr. Youngman, because he has strong and go, d
reason to know whether we were so or not. We
ask him whether we have not been even ,carmer
supporter Of all his measures than he himself Mr..
Youngman knows all this, and has proof upon
proof and as an honest man we dare him to deny
il if he can Don't he himself say in his last paper,
that "H B. MasSer brought US an article for pub

The Tomato, to have it in early use, should b.,

of drying is as follows; Full ripe tomatoes are

June, excepting day and in Florida most ,ru-
ly is the saying good, ait rains but pours"
Ii is my opinion that most all the Indians
drowned out of the everglades, and are now roam
ing about middle Florida. The war never can he
ended until the savages are cut oil from supplies;
they will he joined by whites, and | only wonder
that more do not join the marauders. There ne
yor was better theatre for land piracy than poor
Florida is now. If | had any influence, would
advise that an appropriation be made for hemp, to
hang a squad of pac-iaces, who infest the country
much more to It's dctrment than troop Of red skins
It would have good ciirc, to .ambrisferiee few

[ verify believe that this war cannot I've ended
without at least 100, 600 men in the field at once
and not then, without the most vi san, guard on
the coast with armed steamers; for even were the
Indians all gone, white men, especially Spanards
from the Islands, would continually plunge into the
woods paint and dress as Indians, and plunder aud
kill Should the war ever be ended, Florida will
be scene of arson pillagc and murder, for 10 years
after, unless it be put under marital law, and no
white or black be allowed to G, into the interior,
without passport from some competent authority.
You don't know how provoking it is to sit down
on log in the rain, while the men are hauling
your wagon and mules ont OF a swamp, and think
of the proceedings of Congress, which you have
read probably the day before: how Mr.. So-and.so

presented in some newspaper. AT such times |
think to uysel5 "there is man who gets eight dol
lars day for talking; and here is poor soldier
who gets seven dollars n day for working like a
North fol our suiferings and privations here; no
one out of Florida knows what they arc.
Well, be il so. What are swamps to member
of Congress with a good comfortable fire to warm
his feet by, before he jumps into bed! What are
hammocks to a rotund alderman who employs four
horses to haul him homeward! What are long,

requiring the registration Of in the city. The
Democratic Republicans held meeting the other
evening (27lh inst.) to sustain the act, when they
were broken in upon by the Buffalo Bulls Of the
Loco ioco federal party who were soon hustled
oul" again. Subsequently they returned with re-
cruits and clubs and attempted again to enter the
meeting, when the Republicans, arming themselves
with broken benches and bannisers, beat them back.
Some Of both parties were severely bruised
