FROM FLoRpA.-We have conversed with an
officer Of the army, lately from Florida. There is
nothing important IN the Territory, more than what
has already been published in our columns Billy
Bowlegs is now the dominant chief being nephew
of Old Mlcanopy. What few Indians remain in the
Territory trade freely with the whites and have
passed some severe laws among themselves against
stealing cattle, hogs, or otherwise interfering with
the rights OF the citiZens.-Sdpdnnah Republican.

which met with so serious an accident Sche-
nectady on Friday last. encountered further mis-
haps before II reached Buffalo. in passing the viii
lage OF Seneca Falls, the tain came in contact with
wagon driven by three little boys. The wagon,

THE LATE RIsE-The late rise In the Mononga
hela was one of the most remarkable which has oc-
Cured for MANY wears. We informed by "od
residents" that they do recollect any similar
to have taken place within their memories In
midsummer, during a drought, 10 see large river
rise In one day z or feet and that without rain
in the immediate vicinity, Is, 10 say the least.
markable We informed by gentleman from
up the Monongahela, that at one point there was
fourteen feet OF a rise, on Thursday, This must
have partially spent itself before il reached the city,
as the water was not so high here. 1t came down
like a swell"
We hear that there rain this side of Nor
gantown, Virginia; and yet lew miles up the Mo-
nongahela large trees have foated down, which
had been torn up by the roots. We shall expect 10

MAokEREL FIsHERY.-The editor of the Yarmouth
Register gives dlscouraging accounts Of the sue
cess of the mackere fishery He says the pros
poets better the first part OF the than
they have been for several years past and that the
vessels returned from their first trip with rather bet
ter fares than usual. But good luck was of short
duration. The fishermen, with few trihing ex-
cepuons, have since done absolutely nothing. The
last account from the fleet represented nine tenths
OF them as being entirely empty; while those who
had met with any success had done but little bet
ter-the highest number being some thirty barrels.
Out OF six vessels which arrived at Hyannis few
days since, a single barrel could not have been mus
tered.
We also learn from the same source, that the
Shad Fishery on the south side of the Cape, has
proved an utter faiure-BoSto, Journal
