FLORIDA INDIANs.-We observe, (says a
late number of the New Orleans Delta,) the
arrival in this city, of Gen. Luther Blake, with
a deputation Of Seminole Indians, from Ar
kansas, on their way to Florida. The object
of the General is to induce Bowlegs, AMI the
remainder of the tribe now in Florida, to mi
CRATE peaceably to the West. Among the In
dams in the Generals suite are, Abram, one of
the oldest and most noted warrior of the tribe,
and u sister OF Bowlegs, through whose in1u-
ence he has no doubt of being able to prevail
on all the Indians now remaining in Florida,
to remove to the West during the approaching
Spring.
Gen. Blake's long residence at the different
Indian Agencies, has so familiarsed him with
the character of the Red man, as to make him
most influential amongst them, and highly
useful as public agent.

CAsUALTY.-A man named Randel was
killed on Tuesday last in Charleston by the
accidental discharge of gun in the hands of
soldier from one Of the garrisons, by the name
of Farelly. Farelly with several others, had
been engaged, we understand, as witnesses
for Randel in a suit then pending, and had
been invited by the latter to dine with him.
The gun in the meantime was brought in with
some baggage, by man who had procured
board at the house, and Farelly eleyating it,
carelessly allowed it to come TO the drop in
his hand, the jar accustomed it to go of, and
the entire contents lodged in the left eye of his

Fareliy Immediately surrendered himself, and
a coronors jury was summoned. The verdict
was given in accordance with the above cir

DANGER OF FIRE FROM BASEMENT FURNACES.
One of the best built and finest private dwelins s
in this city came near being burned, a day or two
since, owing to carelessness in constructing the
furnace in the basement for heating the house.
The wall of the furnace was only halfa brick thick,
and it was in contact with lathed and plastered
wall. The heat of the furnace set the laths and
scantlit on fire, and they burned for several hours
before the locality of the fire was detected. For
tunately the burning commenced in the day time,
and the quantity of smoke which escaped induced
a search, which resulted in the discovery of the
fire, which was promptly extinguished 1t had
made considerable progress.
Those who build furnaces in the basement of
dwellings cannot be too particular in their con.
struction All danger from FIRE ought to be studous.

Death of the Cashier Of the Farmers Bank
Mr.. JOHN II. Cook, Cashier of the Farmers
Bank of Virginia, died at his residence in this
city, yesterday afternoon, about half-past two
o'clock. He is the second gentleman filing
that office, who has died within the last year.
MIR. BLAIR died on the 9th of March last. Dir.
Cook was elected to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by his death, on the 9th of the same
month, and now follows him to the gravel
He died from the effects of an abscess which
had formed in his side, and which was operated
for on Sunday. He fingered until yesterday
in very great pain.
JOHN II. Cook had not an enemy in the
world. The goodness of his heart and the
rectitude of his daily life. gave no room for
enmty or ill-will from any one. His noblest
trait was his filiai piety which was displayed
in the tenderest and most devoted manner
This drew forth the admiration of the COM
munity in which he lived, and strongly Sc
conded the claims of the fine business capa-
bilties which elevated him to the Office of
Cashier of the Bank.
His death renews the deep distresses of
most estimable family which has endured an
uncommon share of affection. They have the
most heartfelt sympathy of a very wide circle
of friends.
