FROM FLORIDA,

MORE INDIAN MURpERs.-We have
later dates from Florida, by which we
learn that on Sunda,, Goth ult., 8 miles
from Gary's Ferry,Ia party of Indians xii
led DIR. Jonathan Thigpin and Mr. Bar
Der, and drove off some cattle, taking with
them about 90 bushels Corn; they were
followed the next day, and the place
found where they had amped during the
night.
On the Goth near Black Creek, Mes
srs Bleach and Penner were fired on, and
the former killed. The latter escaped.
On the Both about 8 miles from Fort
Crane, two brothers named Hallards were
killed.
The Express rider due at Palatka on
Sunday night had not arrived when the
Newbern left at five P. NJ. on Monday
and it was feared that he had been killed.
Central .4merica.-Messrs STEPHENS
and CATAERwooD, who sailed from New

LITTLE LATER FROM CANTON. Shin
Lowell, Capt Remmons, arrived last Sat-
urday, says the N Y. Heralh, from Cam
ton. She sailed on the Goth Nav, and
brings us a little later intelligence of the
movements in the Celestial Empire.
On the Goth May. the entire English
fleet, consisting of twenty sail of ships
and transports, were passing up Canton
River, for the purpose OF destroying Can
ton. And the guard ship, lying at Angler,
had received orders to join the fleet i'm
mediately.
1t thus appears that hostilities were to
to have been recommended in rig ht good
earnest, and with DE- termination on TIE
part Of the British to bomb,rd the Celes-
lial Emperor into treaty. Clipper.

.Mason's and Diron's Linc.-The fol-
lowing, from the Salem Gazette, will I'M
doubleday be interesting to many of our
readers, as it contains brief and COM
prehensive history of a division line, SO
often alluded to by politicians. 1t is the
boundary between the North and the
South-the line between Pennsylvania and
Maryland
This boundary is so termed from the
name of Charles Mason and Jeremiah
Dixon-the two gentlemen who were ap-
pointed to run unfinished lines in 1852,
between Pennsylvania and Maryland, OIL
the Territories subject 10 the heirs of
Penn and Lord Baltimore. A temporary
line had been run in 1897, but had not
gwen satisfaction to the dispuling parties,
although it resulted from an agreement in
l7SO, between themselves. A decree had
been made in 1918 by King James, deli
heating the boundaries between the lands
given by charter to the first Lord Balti-
more, and those adudged to his Majesty,
afterwards to VIM. Penn which divided
the tract of land between Delaware Bay
and the Chesapeake Bay on the other, by
line equally intersecting it, down from
Cape Henlopen to the 10th degree of
North latitude. A decree in chancery
rendered the Kings decree Imperative
But the situation of Henlopen became
long a SUBJECT of serious, protracted and
expensive litigation, particularly after the
death of Penn; in l7lS, and Lord Balti-
more in l7l6, until John and Richard and
Thomas Penn, (who had become the sole
proprietors ofthe Ame' lean possessions of
their father William) and Cecillius, the
original patentee, entered into an agree
ment on the 18th Of May l772. To this
agreement chart was append d, which
ascertained the site of Cape Henlopen, and
delineated a division by an East and West
line, running Westward from that Cape to
the exact middle of the peninsula.
Lord Baltimore became dissatisfied
with this agreement, and endeavored to
ilvalda'e it. Chancery suits, kingly de-
cree, and proprietary arrangements toll
loved, which eventually produced the ap-
pointment of commissioners to run the
temporary line. This was effected in
l7S9. But this case in chancery being
decided in 1879, new co missioners
were appointed, who could not, however
agree, and the question remained open un-
I'll l762, when the line was run by Messrs
Mason and Dixon.

BALTIMORE AND Ono RAIL Roam,
we yesterday published extracts from this
report lch went to show the prosper.
Gus condition OF the COMPANY. and the
rapid progress which is being n ade to-
wards the completion OF the road to Cum-
oerland. When it reaches that poin, there
can be little doubt that the stock will be-.
GIN to yield steady interest. From the
Washington Branch the State will this
year receive revenue Of S76,4O7, which
is more than fourteen per cent. upon her
lnVestment-a handsome operation, and
particularly gratifying in the present en-
6arrassed condition OF the State finances
r rom this .ource and the public lands,
the State will probably receive during the
ensuing ems SIX or eight months, about $780,
ooo, which will be great aid to the trea-
sury.
The report is highly gratifying; and the
promise that the road will be completed
10 Cumberland during the uext year, holds
ou' iiatIerIng prospects to the stockhol-
''erS anu the community. To the cili-
re OF Baltimore particularly the an,ici-
patton is cheering Clipper.

II DreaWal Accident-On Saturday
afternoon. says the Baltimore American,
five lads, between the ages OF twelve
and fifteen years. were playing about a
sand bank short distance from the city
on the Bel-Air road, when the bank gave
way and buried three of them under it,
from which they were not extricated un-
til they were dead. 1t appears that the
three went into the pit and endeavored to
throw down the bank by loosening the
earth with sticks. The two who were
on top saw the earth giving way, and
warned their companions of their danger,
but before they could retire the earth on
them. Assistance was Immediately pro-
cured, and the bodies taken out after
lapse ofabout forty minutes, but all ex.
ertlons to restore life were unavalling.
One of the deceased lads was son OIL
Nr. James Fleming, another the son off
Mr. Charles Grimes, and the third sor of
Nr. W. F. Bokee, all residing in or near
north Gay street."

Silver was coined at Rome 269 years be-

Silver has increased thirty times its va

1t. will be seen by the above returns
that there were not so many votes taken
in the state at the late Election, as there
were last fall, by 9242, and that the
Wings lose 1882, and the Locos only
1860. Thus we see the Wings have not
lost the election by voters turning, but by
voters not voting. Notwithstanding the
result Of this election, we hold MARYLAND
to be wing state still, and we doubt not
that when another year shall have rolled
around, she will have thrown of the IT,
