He says also by careful estimate made by John Jumper,
OF The western delegation, that there only $50
Indians remaining in Florida, and only eghtysix Of these
men and boys able to bear arms. We understand that 1t
is the determination Of the general government to have
the country surveyed into townships, which will sc
tate the search for the Indians whenever the attempt is
made hunt out We incline TO the opinion that il the
people the frontier be patient, who less
posed might wait TO take counsel the best time and
method for the removal.

VIsIr OF THE GOVERNOR THE UNITED STATES
MAYNARD, &c.-GoverDor Seymour, accompanied by
his SUITE by the mayor of Brooklyn and number of dis
invitation of Commodore Boorman. The party arrived
at the communicates quarters about IL, a. m, whence
after paraking OF collation., they proceeded TO the
val lyceum The marine guard were here drawn up, the
band in the meanwhile playing national airs, and after
wards at the salute Hail TO the Chief. The receiving
ship North Carolina visited about /, p the gov
ernor being received with the usual salute OF seventeen
guns; after which his excellency and party
veyed in the commandments barge to the different vessels
of the surveying expedition No salutes were fired from
either OF these vessels lest of The nicely adjusted
instruments provided for scientific researches might be
thereby dsarranged; the yards however were manned
by their respective and the guest honored by three
hearty cheers.
The dry-dock with its powerful engine, and, indeed,
every workshop and place Of interest within the limits
OF the yard also thoroughly inspected The store
ship Relief being locked for repairs, afforded practical
illustration OF the utility OF this magnificent work, We
may here remark that somewhat novel application OF
gutta percha has been made by Commodore Boorman.
This is a provision for lighting the entire cavity of the
dock by means of portable tsbes of that MATERIAL by
which gas can be conveyed even under ships bottom
if necessary; thus afordng sufficient light for the
tnuance OF work during the night-an object sometimes
OF vast importance in the stirring times OF war
The governor expressed himself highly grahed by his
visit, the interest of which enhanced by the pres
ence OF Mrs. Seymour and several other ladies.
