INTERESTING NEWS FROM FLORIDA.

INTERESTING NEWS FROM FLORIDA
We understand that the following crafty
ing intelligence has been received at the
War Department from Gen. Twiggs;
An interview had taken place between
an officer Of our Government and some of
the leading men Of the Florida Seminoes,
which resulted most satisfactorily. Ii has
been ascertained that the ou,rages COM
mitted on Indian river and Pease creek
were committed by party Of FIVE young
Indians, one of whom was refugee, who
though, that he might escape from Justice
by e,nbroiling his people in war with
the United States. The Seminoles dis
claimed all connection with the perpetra-
tors Of the outrages, and stated that imme-
diately after the offence was committed on
Indian river an effort was made TO capture
the offenders, but that they were not taken
until after the second outrage. The Of
tenders are now in custody, however and
will in due time be delivered to the prop
er authorities. A meeting between the
Head Chief Of the Seminoles and General
Twigs was appointed 10 take place at Char
lotte Harbor or the 18th instant, and we
may presume, therefore, that the interview
has already occurred. That the Florida
Indians are peaceably disposed is now
considered beyond a Doubt National

THE RAPIDS CONVENTION.

Mr.. Editor:-The two last numbers Of your
paper contain articles signed an y in which the
writer attempts to discuss the mode Of importing
the RAPIDS and ayows himself opposed to clearing
ont The present channel, and suggests as his plan
two dams at cost of some millions. All discus
sion in our papers of the mode Of improvement is
futile. so far as it is supposed to influence indi.
vidual opinion here; for the whole question OF
the mode belongs to The general government to
decide, and will be settled by Il, regardless Of our
wishes. believe, however, that the Conven-
ton at Davenport should express n decided opin-
ion in favor Of improving the present channel
1st Because it is practicable, and If so, prefer
able to any other mode.
3D. Because it is cheap, may be done immedi-
ately, and thus answer the wants Of the present
generation.
Sd. Because the opinion Of the convention
would be influential in inducing the proper au-
thorities to improve in this way.
The public have been much misled hitherto On
this question to the real character Of the DIM
Guilty TO be overcome, and the expense probably
attending il; and perfectly 'bc-fogged" as TO inc
mode, by sundry visionary theories In hydraulics
Which seem to have no foundation in philosophy
or common sense.
As to the real character Of the difficulty, anu
the practicabiity Of clearing out the channel, we
are not left to conjecture.
Twelve wears ago. under the direction OF the
Engineer department, thorough exploration %
the upper and lower rapids was made. 10.

where there was no bottom with a ten foot pore.
1t is proper to state here that the water was sou1

soundings are given. The result OF tins eSp'o'A>
ton shows -
LIST. That there are channels worn in the focs

several.
