INTERESTING FROM FLORIDA.

Intelligence Of undoubted authenticity has been
received here of the refusal of the Seminole Indians
remaining in Florida to emgrate to the country as
signed them west of the Mississippi The agree
ment to emigrate made by their chief, Billy Bow-
legs when here in Washington, they refuse to rati-
fly, influenced as we understand, chiefly by the ad-
vice of Sam Jones and Billy Bowlegs' only sister,
who has great consideration with the tribe. Billy
himself is believed to have been well disposed to
comply with his promise, and held out several
weeks, but the other Seminoles, having taken away
his two wives and their children, and threatened to
annul his tribal authority at length forced him to
yield to their views On restoring his favorte
wife-the frst-he dashed deep into the everglades,
and has not since been heard from. The excite
ment in Florida is of course very great. We under
stand that a regiment Of the famous Cowboys" or
" Crackers" is in rapid course Of Formations to act
under the authority Of the State.

companies, with aggregate capital Of SIS $50 900,
gether with individual represented in the meeting
who jointly applied for the transportation of 155
of coal per day, about 2l075OO per year. The
Cumberland Coal and Iron Company transport at present
about thousand tons daily, andnow make application
for increasing their transportation double that
The conference of the represen tatives of the coal
companies, which followed the explanation and
withdrawal Of Mr. SWAMI, resulted in the adop-
ton of the following resolutions, viz:
ResolUed, That this meeting fully concur in the sug
gesons of the President of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company the propriety Of requiring security
for the daily use Of such may be allotted to the
different companies. That nasmuch as it would be i'm
practicable to determine upon any general nature of
curiy to be furnished it is the opinion of this meeting
that each company should make its separate negota-
tons in regard to the guarantees they shall severaly
furnish
Resolced, That the Secretary be and he is hereby
quested lay before the President Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company copy of the above resolutions

The yellow FEVER AT ST.. THoMAs.--A letter from
Walter A. G. Brigham, of Worcester passenger in the
ship Palmyra, St Thomas dated December Is, states
that the yellow fever raging to terrible extent lie
himself and Captain Perkins, of the Palmyra, had been
down with it, but were recovering. Five of the crew,
however had died There other vessels in port from
which all board had been bured-capains mates and
seamen and the terrible disease hourly destroying
new victims Among those who had fallen the Ane.
riean Consul who died few days previous. The atmo-
sphere had become infected that even turkeys ducks
and other fowls dying with the epidemic. Mr.. Brig
ham was about sail in the ship Art Union Capt Stubs,
for Mobile or Apalachicoa.
We hope and conceive it to be highly probable that the
description Of the ravages Of yellow fever given above
will prove to be greatly exaggerated
Capt Perkins of the ship Palmyra, writing to his wife
in Worcester under date of December 49, and speaking
Of the ravages Of the yellow fever there, says:
THAT there we're lying directly around him no less
than semen American vessels hich had lost Their copfans
mates and crccs including all board and also among
them Eve Of the wives of the captains who accompanied
the vessels to the island and all Of these victims

ing to have returned with Mrs Perkins, who arrived
home few days since by the steamer from St. Thomas
but unfortunately occurrence prevented and thus
the formeris numbered with the dead"

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

GEORGE BANCROFT, ESQ, in a lecture before the
New York Historical Society, reported in the Times
pays an eloquent tribute to the philosopher
"Not the half of FRAsKLISs merits have been told
he was the true father of the American Union 1t was
he who went forth lay the foundation of that great de-
sign at Albany and in New York he lifted up his voice.
Here among us he appeared the apostle of the Union
but for his wisdom and the confidence that wisdom in
spired it is matter Of doubt whether that Congress
would have taken effect 1t was Franklin who suggested
the bond of the Union which binds these States from
Florida to Maine Franklin the greatest diplomatst
Of the eighteenth century. He never spoke word too

word too much he failed speak the right word

The FISHERIES vs. RECIPRocITY.--The fishing
interests of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are
moving in opposition to the rumored proposition on
the part of the British Government to include the
freedom of the colonial fisheries as an item to be
conceded to the United States in return for the pro-
posed reciprocity. That, they contend will more
especially benefit Canada, which has little connection
with the fisheries and they demur to the surrender
of their exclusive privileges for its advantage What
formal action Nova Scotia has decided on to give
effect to this view We know not. The New Bruins
wick papers, however, report the proceedings of a
public meeting held at St. John, at which resolu-
tons were agreed to declaring that the coast fisheries
of the colonies the natural right and property
of the inhabitants thereof" and expressing " deep
anxiety and concern" at the terms in which the
matter has been alluded to by President FILLMORE,
and also by Lord MALMsBURY, the British Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs. A committee was appoint
ed to prepare an address to the Queen.

that Of 1851 and the President estimates that actual
receipts would have been hundred per greater
than they were but for the unfortunate accidents Of April
August, and September He adds " The same causes
will affect the Of 1853 to some extent but the
probability is that it will amount to S250O0O if nothing
should happen to interrupt the navigation Of the canal
in which case the company viii be able to resume the
payment OF interest its preferred debts on the first Of
January 1854"
After the disaster Of April and before il was ascertain
ed that sufficient funds could be negotiated the repair
of the damages, the preparations previously commenced
for increasing the means Of transportation imme-
diaely arrested; which seriously affected the general
business Of the canal after navigation had been resumed
There two hundred and thirty boats regis
tered and it is estimated that Of that number hum

carrying from hundred to hundred and thirty
tons Of coal TO the load and of making full trips per
month; which, in navigation Of nine months would

or two years.
The Governor audes to unpleasant misunderstand-

the coal region west of Cumberland, Maryland, was
held at the Office of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail.
road on Wednesday morning, for the purpose of
comforting in relation to the requirements Of the

providing for the expenditure of s2,5OOOOO for the
purpose of laying second track between the city

modatons, and he called upon those present to hand

respective companies would contract to have trans

ACCIDENT TO THE PRESIDENT ELECT.


1t is with deep regret that We hear Of a sad ca
lamity which yesterday befell the Family of the
President Elect Of the United States The particu-
lars of this lamentabe event. as communicates. by
Telegraph are, that Mr.. and Mrs. PIERCE, accom-
panied by their only Son, from 10 to II years Of
age, were passengers in a train of cars upon the
Boston and Maine railroad, when, by the breaking
of an axle near Andover, the car which they occu-
pied was thrown off the track, and precptated down
an embankment some twenty feet, turning COM
plete summerse in its course, and falling upon pile
of rocks. The car was smashed to pieces; the Son
of Gen. PIERCE was killed upon the spot; Mrs.
PIERCE was severely though not fatally injured i;
and six or eight other persons were more or less
hurt. Gen. PIERCE escaped with but slight injury.
This terrible visitation is the deplorable, as
the fine boy thus 50 suddenly snatched from life
was the single remaining one of the only three
children with which the afflicted parents have been
blessed. The whole country, we are sure, will
deeply sympathize in their bereavement, whilst it
will rejoice that the parents themselves were pre-
served from the same terrible fate.
