The PRESIDENT a.' DoNE q" BY BILLY BowLEGs
We have another addendum to history of Mr.
Fillmore's diplomakIc successes. From an official
and reliable source, learned yesterday that the
faree got up last summer by Messrs. Fillmore and
Conrad great expense, in which the famous Indian
chief Billy Bowlegs played the principal part, has
terminated all persons Of intelligence and knowl-
edge of Seminole character predicted in the tragico
comico finale of Biliys positive refusal 10 leave his
native everglades, and his open defiance OF the pow
er of the Government to effect his removal.
After heing umbugged by the European powers,
bamboozled by the Catalan officials of Cuba, and
treated with lofty and rdcuIe, we'll as foiled
IN his efforts, by the nigger Emperor of Hayti, Mr.
FImore's administration lacked but one other incl
dent to render it the most complete and elaborate
comedy of bunders that ever brought out on the
political stage, and that was 10 be circumvenIed by
the poor drunken Indian of Floida. This has been
most efectually done by the said Billy Bowlegs.
After being escorted to Washngton, entertained there
at the public expense, and feasted and lectured by
Mr.. Fillmore, and doubt supplied with flannel
waiscoas and prayer books by that worthy function
ary, Billy went to New York, where the ever-re-
nowned Sacllems of that great city entertained him at
the public expense, with unlimited quantity of
whlskey and beef partook to such pro-
duce consequences very humliatng to his admirers.
Thus honored and feted Billy returned to the ev
erglades full of and contempt for the palefaces,
and with an idea of his own importance, which fixed
his resolution not to be bought off cheap. So, he
very cavaerly informs General Blake, in language
nearly copied after that of Soulouque's muatto
Premier, that MIR. Fimore's propositions de-
cined. and that he intends to leave Florida when
is convenient and agreeable. This fact has been Of
fcially notified to the government. All the rsouey
and hospitality lavished Biy-and there has been
some proftabl jobbing in this affair, which will add
greatly TO the resources of some Gal phinite-
have been thrown away. Billy has boug ht negroes
with his douceurs, and sent them TO his friends in
Arkansas. And being convinced by the
ances of the President and his New York Aldermanic
friends that he is great warrior, and that his
quence is increased rather than diminished by his
warke encroachments upon the white settlements in
Florida. he wisely determines to add to his value by
further operations in that line. Hence his notification
to Gen. Blake. small touch of Florida war will
be an appropriate sequel to the ingorous adminisra
ton which terminates OIL the 4th of March next.

News, who has as large parcel Of feet as the

Elections on the weather and the persmmon crop
"THE WEATHER-oR THE WINTER. The Rich
mond Despatch prophesied last Fall that the present
winter would be hard one, basing the prophecy up
the large crop of perslmmons of the last season.
Thus far the of the weather has not verified the
prediction, but, the contrary, the winter has been
remarkably mild. Were to indulge in soothsay-
ing we should say the large crop of persimmons last
year augured a good deal of mud this winter, and
surely the facts would sustain the prophecy. 1t is
true we have not even 81 told you so, " to back
our pretensious weatherwisdom, and SHALL there
fore, not urge our claims TO prophetic distinction.
Neither shall we attempt to explain the laws by
which large perslmmon crop influences the state of
the weather condition of the earth.
After all, it is probable that other and very
different their origin TO the influence
of the peEsmmon crop, if not foreshadowed by it.
We allude to the remarkable inertness, wranging
and do-noihngness that has characterized the legis-
lative bodies of, at least, two States, Doth which
States noted for the plenude Of their persimmon
crops. And this may be accounted for very nationally
upon the principle that told governs the
actions of inhabitants OF Of the low countries
in plentiful huckleberry season. They become
as Independent wood sawyers and don't care
