ST. Augustine, June - 1871.
Colonel Worth and staff arrived here on Saturday
last. But a few days since the Colonel made night
movement into the Panosofkee swamp, in hopes OF
surprising Alec Iustenuggs. The troops near day
light made rush upon the town, situated on small
island in the swamp but il had been vacated Two
months. The guide had been of Alees band, and il
the policy of the enemy when of their party
scaufed TO change their encampment lest they should
be used as guides, This movement at night, with the
commanding officer in person. is commencement OF
a new era, and we sanguine of most suspicious
one-Col. Worth has sent express to New Orleans,
for the of Wild Cat his immediate shipment in
terering with the which he had intended making
OF him in his capture
The field viii again be occupied and troops put IN
notion that the old plan Of waiting for the enemy
is TO be changed to hunting him. A destruction Of
his ields-harrassing his encampmenis, and a con-
vicon that military posts will be his only safety,
WILL have every reason to believe, bring about
close ofthis war earlier than by any other policy.
Such we know TO be the intentions Of Col. Worth,
and we cannot but congratulate the country the
command of the army devoving on this most able and
gallant officer. Col Worth is in the finest health and
leaves here to-day.

COMPROMISE on THE BANK QuEsrioS.-Iti is evident
10 observation that the firm of National Bank will
be determined IN Congress by compromise in the
manner that all public questions decided in this
region OF compromise. There must be an agency OF

party leaders on both sides, that the Sub Treasury

A NATIVE OF MARYLAN
PLAN OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
TREASURY

When every man had financial scheme of his owl
u was not to be expected that that submitted by Mr.
Ewing, for the Administration would in all its de.
tails, command universal APPRECIATION. The Secretary
OF he treasury, no doubt, pected that his scheme
would undergo modlhcations-in which the Admins
traton would concur If the main and leading features
were preserved. We accordingly hear from Wash
hs'oh 'ha' y proposed to expunge from the plan the
proposition relating to the fourth nstalment and that
respecting the distribution of the public lands These
are measures which is deemed best to act mon
lately 1t is also probable that the Bank will be per-
mited to deal in foreign exchanges-as that NAV pre-
vent the export of specieand the limit alton of 81.
per cent will be enlarged to T.
With these, and some other trifinp rnod;6c,,;on
we anticipate for the Bank the support OF Con:

object to the provision which requires the assent of he

thatH should bill of that sort even if il could h,

Curious Marriage Custom among The Cos
sacks.-There are said to be no old maids
among the Cossacks of Ukraine, since the Gus
tom allows the young women to choose their
husbands. When a young woman in the Ur-
kraine feels tender passion for Young man,
she goes TO his parents house and saws 10 him.
be blessed of Cod She then sits down, and
addresses herself TO the object of her affec-
tons in the following terms: Iran, Theodore.
Cor whatever else may be his name) the good
ness see written in your countenance is a sutli-
cient assurance TO me that you are capable of
loving and ruling wife; and your excellent
qualities encourage me to hope that you will
make good husband. Ii Is the belief that |
have taken the resolution TO come and beg of YOU
with all due humility 10 accept me for your
spouse. She afterwards addresses the father and
mother In words 10 the same effect, and solicits
Them earnestly 10 consent TO the marriage. II
she meets with refusal she answers that she
will not quit the house till she marries the object
OF her love. IL she be sufficiently perseverlng,
and have patience to stay few DAYS or weeks
IN thelr house, the parents are not only forced 10
give their consent, but frequently persuade their
son to marry her. The young man, likewise,
IS generally moved by her perseverance and af
lection, and gradually accustoms himself TO the
idea OF making her his wife and al length con-
sents. II IS said the parents never employ any
force to compel her TO leave their house because
they believe that by so doing they should draw
down the vengeance OF heaven upon their heads
and the girls family would not fail to resent such
an action as srleyous aiiront
