THE FLORIDA ELECTION A slip from the of flee of the Savannah Geurgian of the 2nd inst. fur nishes us with the following intelligence from East Fiorida:
 FLORIDA ELEcTIoS.-We learn from a gentle man who came passenger m ihe steamer Wm Gas ton that the democrats have carried every thing be- fore theal in East Florida. The following counties had been heard from. siz: Si. Johns, Orange, Do wall, Columbia, Hamilton, Nassau, and portion ol Alachua. The democrats have elected their Stna- tors and Representatives in all the above counties, with inc exception of Nassau, winch has returned whig Senator and Representative, the county cleo lion turning on local InaIiers--Mosely and Levy in The same county having majority of 105 votes. IL IS ihe opinion of our informant (and he has a good opportunity of judsing) that Mosely and Levy's Jorlty m ihs above counties will be less than 800
 There probable mistake ,n the name of one of these counties We do not find such county as Orange, named in apporionment of representa- lions under the Constitution. Without that and including the county of Franklin, (Apalach lcoa,) these returns shey six democratic Senators and twelve Representatives, thus neuiralizing the whig vote ia West Florida. The prospects are now encouraging for the election of the whole democrat c ucket-Goveraor, Congress and Legislature.

BENEFITS OF COHdERcE.-The people of the United States inhsbit varied clinaie and almost boundless territory, prolific that il yield, without but lille aboi, far of raw produce than the wants of the inhabitants require The surplus is of value only when il can De exchanged for the pecu- liar products of other csunlries. This was done in the year 1S44, as follows
 Imports. Exports
 .S3,96a9o5 Prod. of forest $5s 7l2 Coffee ........ 6,972g3l animals l45379 Sugar Molasses 9,36a646 Vegetable food i239,437
 Total. 2a,3Il4gl 231s7 52s
 This produce expored is an excess above the wants of the Union, bnt becomes valuable when ex- changed for the tropical produce imported, much to the advantage of the farmer. wealthy citizen can consume more four, pork, Sc. than poor one, and he therefore buys no more. lf, however, lie can exchange il elsewhere for tea, silk, or wIne, he will purchase an almost indefinite quantity, greatly to the advantage ofthe producer. Yet we find lan- guage like the following put forth
 GOT this large amount of necessaries fr $9, ,368,- 646 worth of of life from other connries The Ten and Coffee are, far as the susienance of life is concerned, 80 much loss, and in practical ] view, must be put down as uxuries, although by long use they have come lo be regarded, along wllh To- bacco and Opium, necessaries of ife."
 To carry out this view il ia loss to live at all A man of large property may consume ln his family ten barrels of flour in year, and have desire for any more. If, however, he can obtain what are called luxuries. or 10 him necessaries, in exchange for it. he may buy 1000 barrels per year. Fms is sent of the country for that which he wants, and the result to the farmer is the same if he actually consumed Ihe 1000 barrels of flour. Yet we are told that everything but pork and beef is ga oss." Happily, however, the producer of Coffee in the Bmzils is aware that barrel of Richmond flour ia very desirable luxury, and the producer of four is equally gratifed with d cup Of coffee. The ex- change is therefore made to their mutual advantage, notwithstanding that demagogues tell them that their indulgence in such uxurIes will be their ruin, and that government should destroy the trade by n high tariff 10 encourage "hone industry ."-[New- York Morning News

 THE RAcE.-The great race between Fashion and Poyiona, yesterday, upon the Camden Course, was attended by tbousands of persons from Phadel. phia and the surrounding country.
 Alta quarter past the bugle sounded for the ra- cers, and they were brought upon the track.
 From the Philadelphia Gazette.
 Fashion never looked better. Peyrona won tho inside ofhe rack and the order for the start for the first heat having been gven of they went, Fashion slightly ahead and continuing to gain until at the first quarter stretch she passed Pe1tona and got the inside of the track. Along the top Peytona made brush and lapped Fashion, buI the Jersey mare on coming into the back stretch shook off her opponeat and stepped length in advance. which distance she continues to hold until the coming home; Peytona at times 'king brush and putting her nose at Fashions saddle, only to be Jeff behind again. The first three miles of the heat were won in this ma n ner, the Jersey mare passing the stand each time "A length ahead. but on the fourth mile Peyona did noi hold her position, SO that Fashion came in three lengths ahead, winning the heat in I'm. 48s.

4 RECORD OF INDIAN WAR
FARE.
Union College, March 1, 1915.
DY PERCY y. ST. JOHN.

Some few years previous TO my visit to
the new rrpnhlic of Texas. "A small tribe of
Waco Indians had descended from their
usual haun,s to seek new hunting ground,
and avoid the attacks of their enemies, the
Commanders, with whom they had long had
deadly fnnd. With grea, taste and Judgment
the Waccos had selected he junction 0f
small stream With Dckcnson's Bayou, Gal
weston county. Texas, for the site Of their
encampment, il has ing the double advantage
Of being picluresqurIy situated, and also ca
silly defended, AS well as that it insured them
a constant supply Of good water. and lay
close to TIE high road from Galveston to
Houston, by way of Virginia Point. The
district being very ihinly peopcd, vast herds
of deer and buffalo abounded in the woods
and prairies, especially near the rivers,
where they could conveniently water. The
Waccos being, as they sad, informed by
dreams that in these parts the greatest plenty
Of game was TO be found, and wishing also
I" I've near the settlements Of the white men,
with whom they desired to trade for blankets,
liquor, g., built small village towards the
head OF Dicks Greek, and resided there for
some time. The serious effect, however,
usually attendant on the establishment of an
Indian camp on hunting ground, soon be-
came evident, here as in other places, and
game began 10 grow scarce. The activity
and perseverance, of the aborigines in the
pursuit of game is not easily dumped. They
are equally sagacious in finding their prey
and IN the means they use to destroy il -
They Can discern the footsteps of the beasts
they are in chase of, although imperceplihle
to every other eve, and can follow them with

they do not understand in the European
sense Of ealing unusual dainiies on a parlic.
ular day, but actually as signifying not TO
eat at all-and are, it will readily be believed,
only the more eager after their prey, neither
thickets, bitches, torrents, pools, nor rivers,
stopping them. 1t is not, therefore, to be
wondered al, If baff,lo and deer gradually do
disappear from around in addition to which,
the white men settling themselves on the
border of the river, certain disagreeables
arose, which induced the Waccos the more
rapidly TO change their residence, and take
up their domcle in some more favored spot
where the animals, which afford them alike
food, clothing and amusement, were to be
found in greater plenty. The Indians, or
breaking up their camp, for reasons hereaf
ter to be explained, did not destroy lhei'
houses.

side by a narrow strip of forest, falls into the
former river, leaving between the two "a smal
