ANOTHER FLORIDA AWAR-.OUTBREAK
OF THE INDIANS.
information has been received in this
city from Florida, stating that the re-
naming Seminoles have become hostile.
and have committed depredations ON Ir.
dian River, in South Florida. From the
best information we can obtain, some
time in the early part of last week, thc
Indians made an attack on the settlements
on Indian River, in ST. Lucie county. and
commenced plundering the houses and
hrng on the settlers. The Indians, itis
stated, werean considerable numbers, SO
much so that defence by the whites was
entirely impossible. One person, a Mr.
Baker, was killed and horribly mutilatcd

family, it is feared, have fallen into the
'hanis,of the Indians, as they have since
been missing. A numberof other per-
sons, mostly females, are also missing.
The settlers We're obliged to leave their
places and take to the river, and come UP
the coast outside. Some twenty men,
women and children have arrived at
jot. Augustine, and report others ON their
way.
There are yet a considerable number
of Indians remaining In Florida. We
nave it on the authority of one who is in
timately acquainted with them, a resi-
dent of Tampa and Charlott's Harbor.
that the number of warriors cannot be
less than two hundred and fifty, He has
had opportunities from his dealings with

WEAR OF THE NIAGARA FALLs.-,Thc
10000 tons Of water which each min
ute pour over the precipice of the Mag

of the. cliff every year Taking this
average, and adopting the clear geolori-
cal proof that the fall once existed at
Queenstown, four miles below, we must
suppose a period of twenty thousand
years occupied in this recession of the
cataract to its actual site-while in the
Delta of the Mississippi, nearly $4,000
square miles in extent, an estimate found
cd on It's present rate Of increase, and on

Our City Advertisers.

THOMAS BRADY, 81 CHARITIES ST. This
gentleman is one of the most extensive and
enterprising wholesale and retail Dry Goods
merchants in New Orleans, to whose advertiser
ment in another column we respectfully call the
attention of country dealers, visiting the city
for the purpose of laying in their winter stock.
Mr.. Brady is one of those sensible merchants
who appreciates the advantage derived by ex-
pending a few hundred dollars in advertising
to bring his stock, worth thousands, prominent
ly before the public--and from the manner in
which we observed his store crowded, when all
others around him were vacant of customers,
we came to the very reasonable conclusion, that
the public were not only manifesting the supe-
riority and c~heapness of his goods, but that
the gentleman himself was fully experiencing
the benefits derived by extensively advertising
his mammoth stock of goods.
Miss LYDENBURG, 2l3 C%ARoNDELET ST.
Those Of our country friends in want of Mill
nary, and who have orders to send to the city,
we would beg leaye to recommend them to the
above lady. We know from experience that
work contided to her is lone neatly and expe-
ditiously, and at a moderate price.

WHAT is AN INVITATION 1.-The last Baton
Rouge Advocate contains a very long and la
bored article, endeavoring to sustain the charge
previously made in that paper, that "Col. Stew
art was not inUaed to take command of the Ba-
ton Rouge company that went to Mexico; and
likewise in commenting upon the communica-
ton, signed by several citizens of this parish,
placing Col. Stewart in his true and proper at
titude with regard to the whole matter. The
Advocates lengthy dissertation amounts to-
just nothing! It admits that Col. Stewart
commanded the company. "a wonderD but in
sists that he was not inrited to the command
Well, if not inpited to the command of the Ba-
ton Rouge company, Col. Stewart was ELECTED
to the command of it, and if that was not as
strong an irritation as any reasonable man
could require, we know nothing about the ma
ture of an invitation. The Advocate must be
hard run for political capital.

the crop will not be as large by one-third as it
was last year, yet, those who ought to know,

HOMESTEAD ExEMrT1oN.-i Western paper
presents the following arguments in favor of
exempting a mans homestead from liability for
debt:
There are two leading reasons which ought
to have great weight. The first is, that the
direct tendency of exempting the homestead
from debt is to preserve the integrity Of the
family both in society and property. 1t will
keep the family together by Keeping them home
Safe from all the storms Of adversely. In
that, it will greatly tend TO prevent the family
from coming on the public for support. Now,
the State which legislates hasa deep interest
in maintaining the unity and prosperlt; Of the
family. The whole is made up of its parts
Society is founded in the family. Ii no family
is driven out to seek Il precarious support, the
State will have no paupers to maintain. tn
every state of society, no matter what the laws,
the solvent must maintain the insolvent.

The FALLEs.--The Washington Republic
speaks thus eloquently and truthfully of the
triumphs of despotism and the fall of liberal
principles in the old world:
Despotism triumphs in the old world
Venice, the republic sfdark ages-the preserver
of arts, and song through the dreary
night, when ignorance and superstition ruled the
world with aleaden sceptre, has fallen. The lone
star that mirrored itself in the Adriatic when
every others had beendarkened, isnow obscured
by the cloud of despotism that spreads over
Europe in the nineteenth century.
Hungary has been crushed by the allied for
ces of ~tyranny--France extinguished the hope
of two republics when her invading legions
marched for Rome-ltaly is bleeding beneath
the heel of the oppressor, and Germany, ready
to reach forth her hand and grasp the fruit of
her enlightenment in the shape Of free institu-
lions, is bound and guarded by the s~entinels of
despotism. For the present the hopes of the
friends of republicsnism are defeated; but the
end is not yet.

The Third District.

The New Orleans Bee seems inclined to
give up this District to our Notwithstanding,
seemingly, that it would be hoping against hope
that our banner will be carried victorious in
this stronghold Of locofdcoism. To say the
least, this is bad policy on the part of the Bee.
"Never say die" as long as we can struggle, is
our motto, and a good one we think for all who
would win in any contest. We admit that the
chances for success here are against the wings:
the district has been set down as irretrievably
l~ocofoco by a great many; there was a large
ma ority against us at the last Congressional
election, but in the last race for the Presidency,
with the hero of Buena Vista as our leader, the
whig ticket was victorious. Can we believe
that all who voted the successful ticket then,
are prepared to do their might to crush it now !
Are all men so deluded as to joinin the huy and
cry, raised by partizan prints throughout the
Union, and endeavor to crush the very ran
whom they haze had the honor to elevate to
the highest office iii the world? by voting for
the Congressional candidate who will not sup
port his administration, they will virtually com
nit this humiliating ard suicidal act. 1t is hard
to believe that there are many of this nature.
The above is one reason that we have why
the wings should hope for a glorious victory on
the 9Th OF next month, and which should slim
ulate them to extraordinary exertions-eStra-
ordinary enthusiasm. But we have perhaps
better cause for believing, that if we should
fail in the State ticket, We shall succeed in send
ing Col. Stewart to Congress. Besides the ar
Qument above in favor of his success, we have
others still stronger. Col. Stewart is an indo-
mitable canvasscr, and he has n never-failing en-
thusiasm which is responded to wherever he
goes: he is a strong practical reasoner,' and IS
gifted with 4 peculiar eloquence. that wins the
admiration of all; besides, his manner is of
that Warm-heartcd and generous nature which
all must admire. Indeed. the vhig champion
for Congress carries his principles in his face
they are depicted in his demeanor-open, gem
erous and brave, a friend to the weak, and a
peoples man in every sense Of the word
What can be sad OF his opponent, John II.
Harmanson! Leaving lis countenance out of
the scale that weighs against him, there are
two acts that he has committed, which ought
to blast his political prospects forever; and in
any other Congressional district in the Union,
a candidate with half the weight of such sins,
would have no prospect of reelection. Those
sins are his Swamp Bill, and his speculation up
on that Swamp BW-the first act to tax and
Cypress the people, and the second act demon
s~trating in his w person the advantage which
monied men can take of that delectable bill!
Wings, everywhere, struggle unremittingly
till the 5th. We have great chance for victo-
ry-and if beaten now through inertness, we
are unworthy of the high name that We SO glo-

Gen, PIauche's English.

We are glad to perceive that the Democratic
prints throughout the State are publishing the
fact stated by Mr.. Kennerin his speech here, and
to which we gave publicity, that Gen. Plauche
did not understand the English language suf-
ficiently for the most ordinary topics of CONVEX
sation." Now, we will venture to say, from our
own knowledge and what we have learned, that
if ever there was a high-minded and chivalrous
candidate, or one who would sooner cut out his
tongue than give utterance to an %untruth, or to
a statement he did not believe, that man is
Duncan F. Kenner. While the opposition
prints vainly strive to disprove this serious
truth that the Democratic nominee for the
Speakcrship of the Senate wiW hare to keep an
English interpreter by his side if he is elected
they are endeavoring to blind the people, that
they may not view the fact as it ought to be
viewed, and assert as Il reason for this state
ment Of Mr.. Kcnner, shat he is opposed to the
French l~angaage" What a charge for any
sensible journal to make! How is he opposed
to the French language? Is'it because he was
reared where nothing else scarcely was spoken?
Is it because his education was finished in Pa
ris? Is it because the partner of his bosom
can speak that tongue only! Is it evidenced
by the instruction he is giving his children in
the French language! Futile and s%enseless
charge! MI. Kenner, besides all these eviden-
ces, has truly asserted that if any language
could be dear to ones feelings and r%ecollec-
tons, the French language is dear to him. Is
there a sensible and noble Creole in'the State
WHOSE feelings are not similar to Mr.. Kenner's-
that it would be disgraceful to elect a man to
the Speakership of the Senate who did not I'M
derstand the language of the land? We call
on all to bear this in mind when they deposit
their votes in the ballot box. For the sake of
the reputation and welfare of Louisiana, let
US, at least, elect to offices men who have the
capacities to fill them.

AN IMPosToR.-A correspondent of the LOU
isville Courier, writing from Lexington, Ky.
under date of the 29th ult, relates the follow
ing partially successful career of an inpostor:
A case of imposture occurred this week, the
facts of the case are about as follows: Il very
nice young man. succeeded in passing himself
off rs the brother of Il distinguished Yankee
in the Bay State, and diddled some Of the lber-
al ones out of small loans, receiving invitations
to dine &c. A telegraphic despatch was receiy-
ed, stating that the distinguished Yankee 0he
Hon. R. c. W. had no younger brother, and
that he himself was, or had been, the darling
pet. This, together with the formerly express
sed opinion of two or three old citizens from
'the land Of steady habits" opened the eyes Of
the taken in. The first suspicion was created
by his bad pronunciation, saying cow instead of
keom, and al home instead of tn hum. But our
Yankee showed that he knew something, for
he left in the evening stage, and has not been
heard of since.
The Yankee called himself Winthrop, a
brother of R. c. Winthrop; got introduced to
Mr.: Clay at Cincinnati, and came on from that
place with him, dined with him, and also with
Mr.. Erwin, and had an invitation to dine with
the "young Duke" when the fatal despatch AZ
rived, whereupon the Duke, like NJ. Poussin with

FLoGGING OF WOMEN FOR POLITICAL OFFEE-
CEs IN MILAS.--The Vienna correspondent Of
the London Times, writing on the 29th August.
says: "You have doubtless heard Of the riot at
Milan, caused by. the military display on the
birthday of the Emperor. In the long list Of
names OF persons arrested on that occasion, two
young actresses figure, who, | suppose had been
implicated in some degree in the brawl, and
who, we may be sure, were led on by men who
should have known better, to commit them
selves. However, here they are condemned to
receive forty stripes apiece from the hands of
Radetzky's soldiers. The instrument used for
fogglng women is (t appears, forl was curious
to know the truth of the rumor) a cane or rod,
rather thinner than that applied to the rough
hide of an offending Croat, but not 4 whit the
less efficacious on that account, ard the differ
ence in thickness is fully outweighed by the
absence of any covering, the male victim being
always allowed his shirt"
