Col. Harvey has passed through the Ever
giades, coming out at Cape Sable. He sur
prIsed camp Of 40 Indians, hung ten Of Tie
,oarrfors, and reserved one to take him TO
Sam jones' camp. Chekika, who headed
the party robbing Indian Key, was among
the number. 1t. Ord, of Sd Artillery, in al.
tempting to dislodge Indians from an is
land, lost ono man, had six wounded, and the
only one uninjurcd, brought his men Off. AT
time, when the commanding General is
tampering with outlaws and murderers, it is
bright relief to cast the eye upon a man
who knows his duty TO the country and is
not afraid to perform it,
Last night the market was illuminated, ca
mons fired, and music employed to add their
grateful sounds 10 the admiration which this
affair has produced.
Late last evening, we learn the Milling of
LIT. Sherwood, 18th infantry, q wife of an of.
,icer, and two privates near Micanopy. Al

Glorio's.-Forty Indians Capfuved.-7ea I,-
dams Hdnged.
Captain Thompson Of the Walter NJ, ar
rived this morning from Key Biscayne, brings
verbal report that Col. Harvey, who had
mon, succeeded i'm discovering the town Of
We-ki-kak, where he captured % women
and children, and one warrior, and killed or
hanged ten warriors obey were perhaps shot
in the attack.)
We hope, however, that they were hanged,
after being caught alive, for, belonging to the
gang which committed the massacre at Car
loosaha,chie, and Indian Key, they deserved
neither mercy, judge or jury--nothing but an
executioner; and the people of Florida have
long deplored the unfrequoncy of such saluta-
ry retributive examples. If those Indians
,cere hanged, their people will see we are at
last in earnest. How much blood might have
been saved, had ten Indians been hanged five
years ago!
Col. Harvey, we. are told, went in at the
Miami, and came out near Cape Sable. If
so, he must have gone where no white man
has proceeded, and discovered singular and
important water communication across the
South Of the Peninsula.
We gave the gallant Colonel our good
wishes when he went down, and arc rejoiced
10 see them fulfilled.
The party returned round the coast, leaving
Capt. Davidson, who is, we are sorry to say,
i'll at Indian Key. Another cx-
petition is preparing. Official reports may
be expected tomorrow by the VIM. CASTOR.
We said few days ago that the destruc-
ton ofone Indian was gilmore Importance than
the taking of Beyront. What then must be
orr rejoicing when 30 arc captured. Our mar
ket is Illuminated to night-the big gun is out
the band is playing cheerfully, and the peo-
pie are shouting for joy.-HeTdH.

Snow VS.. EGGs.-A paragraph is going the
rounds stating that snow is good substitute
for eggs in buildings or pancakes. Nonsense
we know better. The one is just about as
good substitute for the other as sawdust
would be for -four, or tar for molasses. We
would rather have one good egg slip down
our esophagus than all the snow-balls that
could be piled between here and Texas
Wonder what sort of egg-nog or egg-lip a
few teaspoonfuls of snow would make 3
Talk about new-laid snow being as good as
new-laid egg! Not "cggs-actly."

cause they prepared from pure estract Of

Because they soo,he the nerves of sensibihty and
fortfy the nerves of motion, imparng TO their most
subtle fluid lis pristine tone, thus giving strength
and clearness of mind.
Because they never destroy the coats Of the sto-

Because science and experience teach us that no
mere purgarve alone will cure the disease of the
stomach and nerves. Weakness is the primary
cause Of host OF diseases, and, by continually le-
sorting TO Drastic puTgatives You make the disease
much worse, instead of better.
Because DR.. HaTlich's Medicines are put up up

CLEANSE AND STRENG THEN.

The only sure and best course to pursue in Gu
ring diseases, of whatever nature they may he, is
first, to cleanse and purify the Stomach and Bow
els by gentle aPeriens; secondly, to give strength
and tone to those tender organs by the use proper
tonirs. This mode is always pursued by regular
physicians. which they well know to be the only
course TO resort to- to effect speedy and permanent
cure. DIR. HARucn's Compousd Strengthening
Tonic and ApeTient pills, are a sure medicine TO
effect this grand object. The German Aperent
pills are to cleanse the stomach and intesnes al.
Ter which the Compound StTentgening Tonic pills
are used, to give strength and tone 10 those or
gans which require tender treatment. Nearly two
thirds of the diseases which We daily behold,
are diseases Of the nervous system, and sy eon,ihv-
ally using drastic mineral purgaves the sufferer
will soon find himself being too much refined
to remain long in existence. Full and explicit di-
rectons both in English and German, accompany

Works Of Nature.

IN q state Of health the intestinal canal may be
compared TO river whose waters flow over the ad-
joining land, through the channels nature or art
has made, and improves their qualities; and to keep
up the comparison of the river, 80 long as il runs
on smoothly tbe channels kept pure and healthy;
but if by cause the of the river is stop
ped, then the water IN the canals is ne longer pure,
but soon becomes stagnant. There is but one law
Of circulation in nature. When there is a super
abundance of humorial fluid (serocity) in the ines-
tina tubes, and costiveness takes place, il flows
back into the blood vessels, and inltrates itself in
TO the circulation. TO establish the free course OF
the river. we must remove the distractions which
stop its free course and those of its tributary stream
With the body, follow the same natural principal
remove, by that valuable purgative medicine Bran
dreth,s Universal Vegetable Pills. which are an ef-
fectual assistance of nature, the superabundance Of
humors in the intestine canal. BY perseverng in
this practice the ways of the circulation will then
be restored to the full exercise ofther natural func
tions, and state Of health will he firmly establish
cd Remember, never suffer drop of blood TO be
taken from you'-Evacuate the humors as often
and as long as they are degenerated or as long as
you are sick.
