THE BosToN TRAGEDY.-The friends of
Parkman have giving detailed statement OF
all the facts which have appeared against
Webster, in which some of the evidence be-
fore the coroner leaks out One OF these
statements, which may or may not be true,
though it purports TO be authentic, but which
can scarcely affect the accused by repubIica-
ton at this distance, is in reference to the
note and mortgage of which so much has
been said, and upon which such stress is land.
The statement is that after Webster was ar
rested officers were despatched to his house
in Cambridge to see if anything suspicious
could ice fonnd on his premises. Webster's
private desk was searched but nothing par
tcular discovered; and then comes the follow
ing:
The next day after Webster IN jail, called
pen, ink and paper, and wrote a letter to
Que OF his daughters, ann giving it to one of
the officers of the iall desired him to deposit
it ia the post office. The officer, however
(according to the regulations of the prison,
requiring all letters TO be examined, and OF
which fact Webster was probably ignorant J
opened and read it. Most of the letter was
an affectionate and iatherly epistle 10 his
daughter but concluded with a direction TO
tell her mother to take good care of that
package of papers he had gwen her a few
days before the substance of his language
was, to keep them secret, by all means
The Jail officer immediate Y informed the po-
lice, and Mir Clap and others started ;or
Cambridge again. On arriving at Webste' s
ho1se. the officers saw Mrs Webster. and
stated that they wished to procure that pack
age of papers which the Doctor had given
to her fol safe keeping few days previous.
After little trouble. the officers obtained pos
session, and the papers were examined
Among them was the note for $3.50 which
Webster said he had paid Parkman on FL
day at the college. Another note was also
found for $1,000 but it had endorsements
enough on the back to cover the amount
Among other things in the package was a
sort of schedule of instructions, as how to
act and what to say il the event of certain
researches and inquiries relating, of course, TO
the Parkman affair. Here, then, is a plea
of evidence not easily to be gotten over.

Coon News FROM FLoRIDA.-By our cor
respondence from Tampa it will be seen that
there is very gratifying prospect of.an ear
ly and satisfactory close of the Indian difficult
ties in Florida. The principal chiefs have
acceded to the Turns of the Government and
agree to emigrate. We see no reason to
doubt that they are sincere, and will get ready
to, depart Immediately. The troops are so
disposed as to secure their compliance, were
they disposed to resist further; and their
interest is so plainly consulted, by going at
once that we apprehend no further obstacles
of Importance. The speedy relief to Florida
from this troublesome population, and the
Government from a source of expense anc
embarrassment, will soon be accomplished.

of her size. She will be down again for st.
Louis about next Friday.

rs An editor of a newspaper actually re-
turned from California by the last steamer
with fortune of one hundred thousand dol
lars. What a consolatory event! We had
always thought that editors, like English
postboys, never got itch and never died, but
thnned gradually off, both in person and
purse, and then somehow went away, and
were missed" Here is an instance. how
ever, of fortunes disposition to favor the
race, and we owe her a debt of gratitude for
it that we shall feel it our duty to pay when
we pay that OF our nature at any rate.

The Green Rlver Trade.

One OF the most important objects now
which can be presented to The citizens of
Evansville, inasmuch as it is intimately con
nected with the prosperity OF the city, is the
obtaining of the Green River trade. We
have remarked that this trade is beginning to
find that Evansville is its natural reservoir or
centre. Yet large portion of tits wv going
to Louisville and that city is making strong
endeavors to keep the trade. She has pro-
posed, as last resort a Railroad to Bowling
Green, there to connectwith a proposed Rail
road to Nashville. The citizens of Bowling
Green, while they are anxious to assist in
building a road to Nashville, there to connect
with the Charleston Railroad and others pro
posed, do not show any favor to the Louis
vile Road. Yet if we cannot afford them a
regular semi-weekly packet communication,
they may be inclined to listen to the propo-
sails of Louisville That city has now a reg
ular weekly packet to Bowling Green. We
must have a semi-weekly packet not, we
blindly sacrifice our own interests when we
might gain profitable trade, that would add
greatly to the prosperity of Evansville, and
to the business Gifts citizens.
Ii happens, that the supplying of great
deficiency in the mail arrangements between
Bowling Green and Evansville, will be the
means of supporting semi-weekly packet,
added to the business of the trade afforded
these boats We want a semi-weekly mail
between Evansville and Bowling Green
The business of the two places demands it,
and it will be the means Of increasing that
business. A little exertion, we think, among
our citizens, who are to be principally benft-
ted will accomplish this. The prices paid for
the carriage of this mail, will probably be the
means of supporting the semi-weekly packer
desired.
There are now several Improvements much
needed in the mail arrangements OF Evans
Vile. They can only be obtained, and they
certainly can be in that way, by the action Of
our citizens. Who will take the lead in this
matter? Our business men seem contented
to attend to their own private affairs, and yet
do not act sometimes in those very matters
which most deeply affect themselves. This
Green River trade should be 11or6ed Tor. II
will repay all the labor that can be bestowed
on it. Daily river mails are required by the
business of the place. A semi-weekly mail to
Bowling Green, and an Improvement in our
back mails, are needed. A Distributing Of
fee should, for the interest of the Department
and the convenience of the people, be estab-
Kshed at Evansville. There are persons
who are complaining that Evansville has been
neglected. She has been in certain matters
but it remains with our citizens themselves
whether such complaints can be well founded
IN the future. Ii there are such complaints
to be made, let them not fall on our citizens.
We hope TO see memorials got up, and some
vigorous action taken to accomplish the work
so much required by the interests of the
place.

~ The Advertiser is of opihfdh' that
Hutchen's communication the publication of
which is postponed, is not just such matter
as he would prefer for his columns" To
have made nearer approach to decency, the
Editor might hive said, Hutchen was not just
such man as he would like to have write for
his paper. But we suppose he has already
told him this in person, as the connection of
Hutchen with the Advertiser has very sud
denly ceased.

If the speech of Mr.. Clay has had no

has scattered to the winds Of heaven the in
1ouitous scheme of the Calhounists for sep
aration of the Union. Southern men have
been brought to reflect on what would be the
consequences to themselves, even if they car

judgments have extorted the confession
that Mr.. c. lcdS right in showing that their
