partment.
The party of Indians on board the Adams was made
up OF fragments Of different tribes, Tallahassees, Mic
kasukies, Semnoles, &c. Among them were thirty
warriors, the remainder were women and children.
The Spanish Indians captured by Col. Harvey were
also on board.
From a conversation with the officers, we learned
ha, brig had sailed from Tampa, having board one
hundred aud ten, embracing Echo Ema,hla the Chief
of the raahnssees, with ninety Of his people and
also that one hundred and fifty in with General
Armlstead at the time the Adams departed. The as

The Tallahassees were all in except Tigertail, and

EMIGRATISG ISpIASs.--Wc learn from the Register
of last evening, that the steamboat James Adams,
Capt. Chase, arrived al this port yesterday morning
for wood, on her route TO New Orleans and from
thence to Arkansas, having board hundred and
twenty Mickasaukies from Florida in charge Of Major
Belknap, third Infantry, and Aduunt Sprnguc, oih
Regiment United States Army. The boat left Tampa

bound for New Orleans, with one hundred and ten In
dams, principally Tallahassees. These Indians have
been assembling at Tampa the last two months, invited
there BY General Armistead to hold talk of peace.
The recent udcious policy Of the Government, appro
priatng 100000 for the peaceful removal of the
Seminoes enabled the Commanding General 10 in
duce them to emigrate to their homes, which, to-
ge,her with the efforts of the Arkansas Delegation,
will, i, is thought terminate this prctracted war.

WORK FOR THE MONTH.

Earls Potatoes. Prepare the richest
and most loamy bed in your garden for "a
crop of eaily potatoes. Dig it up well and
deepy--break the clods well, thea pulver-
ize i, nicely with your garden raks--lay of
your rows two and half feet apart; throw
| into The drill about two inches of fat long
horse dung, put your poia,oe sets ten inches
apar, on the top of the manure, cover them
with more manure, and then fill up the
trench with earth-the after work consists
in keeping the weeds away, the earth stir
red between and good broad faced hill a.
round the vines.
Horse Radish.-This root must be plant
ed out as early as possible.
Rhubar6.-Thise excellent vegetable re-
| quires to be planted early this month.
Fruit Trees of all sorts may now be eli.
ther planted out or pruned--and the same
| remark will hold good with respect TO shrubs
of every kind, whether Towering or 9th.
erwise. The sooner either pruning or plant
| ing is done in this month the better.
Gooseberries, Carrots and RaspJerrieS
must be pruned, or planted out early this
month
Strawberries must now receive their
spring dressing-and if you propose setting
ou, new bed you cannot do it too soon.
Ciouer Weids.-Sow over each acre oi
your clover, one bushel OF plaster of paris,
and besides ferlilzing your ground, II will
add twenty-five per cent. 10 the bulk OF your
hay.
Fences. soon as you can spare the
time, examine all your fences and give them
thorough repairing.
! Diiches and Droins.--These should re-
ceve early attention, and be cleaned ont;
and be sure TO mix The earth you may take
out of them with your dung.
Preparation Of ground for Beets.--li
you design planting any sugar beets OF man
gel wurtzel, we would advise you 10 plough
your ground as early this moth as possible
plough it as deep as you can; then har-
ow it, and let il remain until you are ready
10 plant your beeis then haul on your ma
nure-say twenty double horse cart loads;
spread it evenly and plough it lightly
three to four inches, and be sure 10 get your
bee,s in the earth during the first week OF
Nav: We will remark, that one acre oil
either of these roots, well manured and
tended, will enable you TO keep your mich
cows TO the pail all the winter, and thus en-
title YOU 10 the thanks of your better half.
Spring Whcat.-As this variety of the
bread grain is somewhat out of date, all we
will say upon the subject is-that if you
design planting any it should be sown as
speedily as possible, in order that it may
6ll and ripen before the sun gets to much
power.-.4mer. Farmer.

The Departure of General Harrison.

General Harrison left the city Of Cincinnati at
noon on the 26th ut. for Washington. in the steam
boat Ben. Franklin, which conveys him as far as
Pittsburg. Crowds of citizens were assembled to
take farewell of him, and to witness his departure.
Several military companies, without any previous
understanding, were on the ground to escort him
from the hotel to the steamboat. The Cincinnati,
Republican adds:
"The crowd upon the wharf was immense; from
la to Is thousand had assembled to take leave of
their friend and benefacior, and of the Nation s
President The scene was touching and sublime
The martial music. the military display, the can
mons roar from either shore, the vast multitude,
the mingling of those who had so recently been
engaged in fierce political strife TO get last look
at him, who was the Nations hope-was scene
which no one could witness unmoved.
I'VE never saw the General more deeply af-
fected, than when from the deck of the boat, in a
short address he took leave ofthe assembled thou
sands. He spoke olthe difference of his feelings,
then, from the time when he had landed at that
spot in his youth, an humble ensign in the army OF
his country. He briefly contrasted the appearance
of the country then, when all round was dense
and dark forest except where occasionally the
humble log cabin varied the scene. The panther
scream and the fierce veil of the savage were
then almost the only SOUND that broke upon the
stiffness of the night. The hardy pioneer who at
that day had thus FAR penetrated the NiGS OF the
West, was exposed to danger of every kind in es-
tablishing home and procuring sustenance for
his family. He spoke briefly of the condition of
this rich valley nOU-of the highly cultivated
felds--the beautiful cities that had sprung up as
if by magic-of the security, peace and plenty
that every where prevaed-of the noble steam
boats, which had in so short period taken the
place of the rude canoe of the pioneer--of the al
most incredible speed with which they waited to
our doors the comforts and luxuries of every
cline.
"When he spoke Of the part he had borne in all
these changing scenes, of the interest he had al
ways fet in the loved West-oi the ISLANDERS that
had been heaped upon him, and of the proud vim
dlcation by his countrymen from all these charges
by the recent triumphant verdict of nation of
freemen, there was no heart in all that vast crowd
unmOved.
"When lie spoke of the vast responsibilities of
his station-of the importance Of the duties that
awaited him-Ot the anxiety he felt to discharge
them Alright; no one unseeped in the position of
prejudice, could for moment doubt, that honesty
of purpose and the nations veal would be his
compass and his polar star.
lie asked that his opponents would cease their
ratings againsthis measures in advance--tha, they
would judge him by his acts; and fthey found him
varying from the course he had promised TO pursue
If they found him deviating from the high road
of genuine democracy, he felt that he would merit
their condemnation and rebuke.

The Ball.

The Harrison and Tyler Ball, which tool
place at the National Theatre ON Thursday
evening last, was brilliant and delightful al.
fair, and was enjoyed by thousand Of The la.
dies and gentlemen of Philadelphia The in
terror of the Theatre, which was arranged into
a spacious ballroom, presented most gorgeous
and attractive appearance; while The decora-
tions, the paintings, the flags, the lights, the
superb chandeliers, the music, the rich dresses
of the ladies, and more than ALL the fairy figures
and bright eyes of the fair beings who partici-
pated in the dance, served TO make up a scene
which at once capivated and daZzled the spec
taor. The music occupied the second tier 0l
boxes, and as the throng Of youth and lowell
ness poured in between the hours of 8 and 10
O'Clock, the excitement appeared with every
new cotlllon-the general delight seemed 10
receive new impulse, eyes shone more brightly,
and sweet voices thrilled with more delight
ful music. Where all presented so much taste
and prOprey, it would be invidious to pariic-
ularlse-bul there were in that gay and delight
lul throng, many bright beings who seemed
pre-. eminently attractive on the night in ques-
ton, and spirits were exuberant to delightful
degree in the circles in which they mingled,
and OF which they formed the centres. The
floors were richly ornamented, the stage pre-
sented in prominent view, the figure Of General
Harrison on horseback--the American flag al
tracted attention in ano,hsr direction, while
young Sully's portrait of the Hero cf the Thames,
excited much notice and elected genra enco-
MUM. Much of the choice scenery and many
ofthe gorgeous banners of The National Queen"
were judiciously disposed, and long before she
hour Of midnight, music, gay voices, the. happy
spirits and the lights seemed acting nsiarmo-
ny and together, and formed spectacle which
all the energies of the enierprising proprietor,
and they are great, will be found inadequate to
rival for years 10 come. The Managers -ex-
erted themselves 20 the utmost and, as we be-
lieve, with as much satisfaction as possible.
The demand for tickets increased very rapidly
after Thursday. and we fear, from the many
applications that were made at our office after
nigh!iall, that some persons experienced dis
appointment. Every thing considered the af-
fair passed off with full and brilliant success
Certain we are, that more dazzling collection

occasion, been seen at any public or private

In the House of Representatives a day or
two ago, Mr.. VIM. Cost Johnson rose to ex-
plain personal matter between himself and
MIR. Duncan. After stating that the aniduel-
ing law would have no effect upon him, if he
was called upon TO demand or give satisfaction
Tor personal insult remarked that the language
imputed 10 Mr.. Duncan IN the report of the
Globe, To wit: ga base liar, contemplate pup
py, scoundrel, and an Infamous coward" was
not used, and he appealed 10 The whole house
10 sustain him in the assertion. He further re-
marked as follows:
81 say, as regards this statement in the
Globe that it is false; that The language i'm
puted 10 the member from Ohio was not used;
and that there is no member here, of any par
ty who will rise and assert that it was used:
that 1t Is not my purpose TO engage in per-
sOnal controversy with him; and that | shall
never resort TO the use of BIlingsgate myself,
nor allow myself TO be governed by it, But
will not suffer the manifest position assumed
in this matter to changed, and which was pre-
dicated upon fact for which | was ready To
vouch, aud of the truth of which yesterday
gave abundant evidence 10 this House. | say,
in conclusion, that whatever Imigh. know TO
be the true character of member on the floor
as deprvng him of the rights of gentleman
whenever, as in this case, had directly and
unequivocalIy assailed such mani should
not take the ground that he was not gentle
man, however | might know such to be the
fact. But repeat tina, the language which
have read was not used: and if it had been,
certainly not have noticed 1t. have moi been
taught that an insult, direct and unequivoca,
was TO be revenged by BiIlingsgate words: and
if the member is satisfied with that revenge, he
is altogether welcome to its enjoyment"
II is worthy of remark, that the reporter of
the Globe, in justice TO himself, states iha, he
is in no way responsible for that portion Of the
report declaimed by Mr.. Johnson, and we in.
fer from this that the language was not used in
the House, but was an altsrhought, and tha,
