The Savannah Neios says:
BY the arrival of the steamer Welaka from
Florida, we learn that Gen. Hopkins had sue.
ceeded in capturing number Of Indians, whom
he had sent to Palatka. The governor of Florida
having sent Gen. Hopkins with small force, to
ascer ain the position and intentions of the In
dams reported to have been hostile, while pro-
ceeding through the country came upon an In
dian camp, and succeeded in capturing eleven
Indians, one warrior and ten squaws. A squaw
in attempting to escape, we regret to learn, WAS
fired upon and wounded in the leg. These In.
dams are now at Palatka, under guard. One
OF the squaws captured, it is said, is wife Of
Billy Bowlegs
at will be remembered that Bowlegs has all
the time maintained that his Indians were
peaceably disposed, and that the depredations
that had been committed were the work of rem
egades and vagabond Indians, whom he had
banished from the nation. If we recOllect right,
he even promised to aid in suppressing them
The party taken by Gen. Hopkins would seem
to belong to Bowlegs' tribe. Whatever may
be the disposition Of the remnant of the Semi
mole Indians left in Florida, it is evident that
they cannot remain in the State, which is now
rapidly being settled Serious difficulty will be
the result if they are not speedily removed
Humanity to the Indians as we'll as justice to
the people of Florida should prompt the gene
raj government to take prompt nsasures for
their removal"

Southern Wings Surrendering to Gen. Scot,

Some time since we republished from the
J New Orleans Bee solemn reputation of Gen
SCOTT from that Wing organ, OH behalf of the
Southern Wings, unless he would come out I'M
equivocally and endorse the Compromise. We
said then that this attitude would not be main.
tanned in the result of his being the probable
nominee, and that it was merely trick to make
a show of Southern spirit, and obtain the nom.
ination of Mr. FILLMORE. We did not think,
however, that the surrender would be made so
soon. The Bee thus cries Peccaui at the con-
cusion of its last editorial
ave look upon these declarations as very
nearly settling the question. No man of the
slightest responsibility would venture to coin a
tissue of falsehoods in matter of such grave
Importance to the Wing party, and to put forth
averments at once susceptible of refutation if
they are untrue. Besides, there is ready mode
of ascertaining their correctness. Gen. Scott,
we are told, wrote to Henry Clay and Mr..
Webster, expressing his hearty approval OF all
the measures contained in the Compromise.
Such being the case, the testimony of either
Mr.. Clay or Mr.. Webster will be conclusive as
to the fact, will corroborate the statements made

decorated with the medal instituted by the con-

be noted that he seizes the opportunity to re-
mind the public of one of the most important
features of his usurpation, namely, the supreme
military rank which the prince has attributed to
himself in the new order Of things. Thus he
speaks of his love for the great military family
of whioh he ia proud to be the head. The
Presidents speech was as follows.

The Hours of Labor.

We learn from the New York papers that the
employees in the Navy Yard at Brooklyn, were
suddenly notified last week, by IN order from
Commodore Smith, chief Of the Naval Bureau, at
Washington, to work one hour longer every day.
As soon as the matter came to the ears Of the
Secretary Of the Navy, he promptly rescinded the
order, and the men now labor as before.
Ten hours have heretofore been deemed day
labor and it appears that Commodore Smith re-
quired eleven. We have great respect for the
Commodore's devotion to the public interests, but
none for his notions respecting the rights Of
mechanics and laboring men. The abridgment
of the hours Of labor is at once a consequence of
the benignant inventive genius Of the age, and
means Of compelling more men to labor In both
particulars it is most salutary while, rs il affords
opportunity for mental and moral Improvement.
it is essential to the welfare Of republic. We
commend most heartily the course of Mr.. Ken

that his fellow-citizens, in every section of the
Union, will hear of his decision with pleasure ant
appreciation.

Col. MaGruder's gain.

From first to last we have doubted the genu-
mess of this letter. Our conjecture has been,
that the getters-up of it-reyng upon the friend
ship of Colonel Magruder for themselves and
upon the generosity of his nature, as 1t would be
eyinced toward one with whom he ever had diff
ference that was subsequently reconcied-had
upon writing it, promptly informed Colonel NJ of
il, aud requested him not 10 disaOoW IL. But this
is only conjecture.
A correspondent assumes another hypothesis
that is certainly worthy our consideration. He
says:

California, discovers n suspicion that the d.tScaIty

poorly of human nature as to suppose 1t probable
Tint it may become necessary or desirable to
publish this statement &c, &c.
"And why not publish this statement? Why
keep it dark, and especially when it comes from
an avowed Wing? 1t is not believed that Colonel
Magruder wrote this fattering JUNCTION to avoid
the retributon consequent on the election of Gen.
Pierce, and the probable persecution he might
expect from his infection Of so deep stain on
the escutchion of his friend; but solely from
7nagnanimous feeling of charity-a feature al
ways seen in men of high bearing and moral cour-
age, to make amends for any wrong or injury
done to an impotent and imbecile fellow-being"

The New York Herald has thus far in the cam
paign been the a6lsst and most influential OF all
the papers in the United States opposed to Gen.
Scott Others have perhaps labored with as much
devotion, but none have shown so much skill,
adroitness enterprise, and research. If General
Pierce should be elected, he will, beyond doubt,
remember its services for good.
We desire our readers to keep in view this po-
sition of the Herald in perusng the following ex-
tract from its columns. 1t is peculiarly Herald
ish, showing that even its best friends are oc-
casionally liable to be raked by the quaint hui

Galphin and Gardiner claims, the Herald says:

Bets and Betting.

In 1874 Wing could not be backed out in the
way of betting-and we lost the election and all
the money wagered.
In 1s4s the Wings were afraid to bet-and won
the election.
AT present much is said Of bets and betting.
Win or lose, we regard it as bad business. The
writer of this has never lost and won fifty dollars
in the whole course of his life, and his practice
and counsels are adverse to the practice.
But what does betting prove Simply that two
persons are earnest in their separate convictions
and anxious to get each others cash Leave
sporting to sportsmen, and work for victory.
Fifty dollars worth Of truthful and telling docu-
ments do more execution in these days than five
thousand in the hands of stakeholder, and these
are emphatically the times in which our country
