WEBSTER AND HARRISON.

State Paper, Johnson, and has since been cop
led into the Sentinel and other small lights of
loco focoism, with its suitable accompaniment
of capitals.
Ddn,e Webster's opinion of VIM. Henry
Harrison. Webster, when asked in 1895
ifhe would be placed on the same ticket with
Gen. Harrison, replied 81 cannot be guilty
of any act that shall, in the remotest degree,
tend to the elevation of man to the presiden-
cy who is justly the scorn and ridicule of his
foes, and the pity and contempt of his friends"

nothing but guilty negligence on the part OF
his friends could prevent him from being the
next president.
This, it strikes us, meets the case, and COW

the iniquitous cunning OF their own evil imag-
nation.
We say the attempt OF the administration ,
for although ostensibly the measure Of John
G.. Calhoun, yet no one can doubt, especially
when recent events are considered, tina, il is IN
reality much-cherished project Of the Exc
cuiive. IL issued from the same mint, and
bears the same impress with other attempts 10
corrupt the citizens Of the new states and will
every where be recognised as the coinage OF
that counterfeit republican, Marin Van Buren.

NAVY REPoRT.-The annual report
Of Mr.. Secretary Paulding is concise
business-like document, and is well
spoken Of 10y both parties.
After briefly advertng 10 the condi-
ton ofihe vessels comprising the varI-
Gus squadrons in the Mediterranean and
Pacific seas, and on the West India
and other stations, the report states
that the Exploring Expedition having
/, reached a point as far South as the 10th
degree Of latitude, encountered So ma
nv obstacles from ice and cold, that the
attempt to advance further was rel,n-
auished, with an intention of renewing
it at a more favorable season. From
the ! 9Th of May to the 9th Of June,
the Expedition, with the exceptions OF
the Sea Gull, were replenishlug and
refreshing again at Valparaiso, whence
they sailed for Callao, and subscquen
tly for the Sandwich Islands. Since
this period it has not been heard from,
to the date Of the Secretary's Report.
In consequence of the frequent vi
oatons Of law on the coast of Africa,
by foreigners who assume the flag of
the United States, the better to prose-
cute the neiarious trade in slaves, two
fast sailing vessels have been ordered
to that coast, one Of which is already
despatched, and the other is in prepa-
ration.
The attention Of Congre
directed to the subject of
psiniion fu, a Dry Dock ut
The construction ofiwo st 1u f.l
has been commenced, the 9a- H0,i.

On the subject of naval apprentice
ship, the Secretary makes highly judic
ious observations. He represents the
benefits which have hitherto resulted
from the system, as of the most highly
encouraging character. Abuses, how
ever, have frequently occurred, under
| the present mode of enlisting minors
which ought TO he prevented by the
passage of proper laws. Persons IN
der age, gain admission to the service,
and after receiving an advance of pay,

dams by means ola habeas Corpus.
The number of invalid pensioners is
/ four hundred and fifty, six, who receive
from the navy pension fund about thr-
weight thousand eight hundred dol
lars. The widow pensioners are three
hundred and thirty in number, and re-
I ceive sixty-two thousand dollars and
the minor pensioners of whom there are
one hundred and fifteen, draw fourteen
thousand three hundred doIlars-mak-
ing in all nine hundred and one pen
sIoners, receiving money to the amount
of one hundred and ten thousand one
hundred and twenty-five dollars and
seventy-iour cents. There is a grow
ing deficit in the amount of the fund a
gainst which Congress will soon be O,
b!iged to provide.
The board of Navy Commissioners
have digested plan for the more adj
vantageou regulation Of the service
which wiltspeediIy be laid before Con-
gress.

From FLoRIDA-The steam packet Florida, Captain
Mock, arrived this morning from Black Creek. By her
we received the Jacksonville Advocate OF the Goth in
slant, from which we copy the following melancholy
intelligence:
On Wednesday, Goth instant, while Lieutenant and
two passing between Mcanopy and place
called sBack Point, they surprised and fired on
BY party Of Indians; the Lieutenant and man
wounded, and one killed. Same evening" Lieutenant
Sanderson, in command of Micanopy, while on scout
with Il or 20 men, discovered fire in the woods, and on
going from whence it proceeded, was surrounded
by about 30 Indians Lieut. S. and nine men, three
boodhounds and their keeper killed upon the spot and
four missing. On Friday, news reached Newnans-
vile that three killed between Posts No.
and l2. On Thursday, scout discovered the trail of
about 100 Indians, in the "Wolf Hammock, six miles
South Of Newnansville
News has also reached us by the Gen Clinch, that
"Fort Crum, or the settlement where Fort &. orr
ginally located attacked and all in the settlement
killed This latter intelligence brought BY express
Black Creek, Saturday, the 22d inst, and is
doubt correct.
Thus we have fearful record of at least twenty
lives as victims to the utterly defcnccess state in
which great part of country is, and has been
since the discharge of the volunteers. Experimenting
in this matter, is preposterous Nothing but the most
decided energetic action, and that unemittlngly
tnued will keep the savages in check, afford
suffering citizens any protection.
