MIR. MANGUM.

This gentleman has no doubt attracted the
attention of the country by his rather savage as
saults on the Chief Magistrate of the nation be-
cause his sense of duty compelled him to Veto
the Bank bills of the extra session. Any one
not familiar with the political history of this ter
ribe successor to Mr.. Clay as leader Of the ultra
Wing party in the Senate, would suppose thai
his consistency revolted at the course pursued by
the President, and that some vital principle had
been ruthlessly violated. No doubt many think so
It's quite certain that the course Of Mr.. Man
gum has hitherto been too obscure to have at
tracted the attention OF the public. Until very
recently he has enjoyed no notorety hence 1t
is that his political exploits have no place in
the memory of the People. But there is po-
itica history attached to the gentleman, which

THE LAST NEWS FROM FLORIDA.

We are authorized by an officer of the Army,
just from Florida, to say that the statement Of
Indian murders contained in the morning papers
of the city, taken from the st. Augustine News,
IS founded on rumor, and coniuses what it Iur-
ports to describe. Ii makes several transactions
out of one, and exaggerates beyond all proper
tons.
This officer left Fort flaming and Wacasa-
sa the 18th instant, passing on his route to
Pilalka near the theatre of these ourages, and
although four days had elapsed since the
murders were committed, the whole number Of
citizens, men, women, and children a.certaincd
to have fallen by the hands of the Indians did
not exceed half the number said TO have been
murdered on the Alligator and adjoining settle
ments This band Of Greeks, under the chict
Oc-tye Archy, had been pursued by the troops
for three days. Lieutenant Britton, of the 7th
infantry, with a detachment of thirty men, had
brush with them and drove them back into
the Wacasasa hammock, from which they set
out upon their enterprise. The troops were in
active pursuit when this officer left Wacasasa.

From he .7mericna Sentinel,

Loud complaints are made in various parts OF the
Union, OF the dlatory manner in which Congress is
proceeding with the public business. Many think
that the passage of the tariff bill would do much to
encourage and sustain the dropping spirits of the
community. But whether all the benefits that its
friends anticipate from it would be realized, one thing
is certain the sooner the question is,setted, the bet
ter The merchant as well the manufacturer
will then know what he will have to depend on and
will shape ms business operations accordingly Va
rious causes assigned for the hardness of Con
gress. Some attribute it to determination Of the
members to appropriate the per diem long they
cam and assert that it is their intention 10 have
almost continuous session until the legal expiration Of
their term of service in March next Others suppose
II To arise from hostility, the part Of the majority
in Congress- to the present national administration,
and a determination To embarrass and cripple the
executive. However this may be, the tendency Of
the course of Congress is certainly injurious to the
best interests OF the country, and is calculated greatly
TO increase the distress, and prolong the emb1rras-
mcnts under which the people are laborng.
