Small Notes.

We concur with our brother of the Carolinian in his
opinion of the expediency of that clause of the act
charterng the Bank of the State which forbds under
penalty of fifty dollars the circulation in this State of
bills OF smaller denomination than five dollars of the
Banks Of other States and from the general dsappro-
baton of our people, far as we have had an express
sion of their opinion the enforcement of the law will
bo decidedly an unpopular measure. The Carolinian
says:-"We do not believe that it will effect any good,
but rather will have an opposite tendency. AS our
railroads extend to the upper districts our trade with
North Carolina must increase and many So or So
bill, should this law be regarded, viii be kept away
from US. Our own opinion is that it willbe dead
letter. as wo understand it has been in other States
where the .same experiment was attempted. We
should rather encourage the influx Of good money,
than lay an embargo on it. AS for bad money, the
people will take of themselves on that point"

The Presidents and Vice Presidents
Of the u. s.

Franklin Pierce is the first democratic Presi-
dent ever elected from any of the New England
States, and is the third Chief Magistrate that
section Of the country has ever given to the
Union. Of our Presidents, two-John Adams
and John Quincy Adams-were residents of the
State of Massachusetts.-FourP Presidents were
residents of Virginia., George Washington,
Thos Jefferson, James Madison, and James
Monroe. Two-Andrew Jackson and James K.
Polk-came from the State of Tennessee, and
another-Martin Van Buren-was resident of
IN. Y. William II. Harrison was elected from
Ohio and Gen. Taylor from louisiana
Of the Vice Presidents, two were residents OF
Virginia, viz: Thomas Jefferson, and John ler.
Two were from Massachusetts-John Adams
and Elbridge Gerry; and five from New York,
viz Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Daniel p.
Tompkins Martin Van Buren,, and Millard Fill
more. One from South Carolina-John c. Cal
houn; and another from Pennsylvania George
NJ Dallas. The Vice President elcct-William
r. King-is from Alabama.-It will thus be
seen that Virginia has furnished the most Presi-
dents to the Union, and N. Y. the most Vice
Presidents
Three Of the Vice Presidents were made Presi-
dents, viz: John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and
Martin Van Buren, by the choice of the people ;
and two-John Tyler and Millard Fillmore
came to that Office by the death Of the Presi-
dents with whom they were respectively asso-
ciated. The two Presidents that died before
their time of Office expired were General Harr-
son and general Taylor; the former within one
month after his Inauguration, and the latter a
little more than year after. Vice Presidents
George Clinton, D. D. Tompkins, and Ebridge
Gerry died while in Office, and two Others, Aaron
Burr and John G. Calhoun, resigned that posi-
ton before their time expired by legal limitation.
The latter Immediately became member of
the U. States Senate, over which body he had
presided as Vice President.
When Vice President Tyler became Presi.
dent by the death of Gen. Harrison, his office

was serving in that capacity, and the Senate, if

Affairs iia Florida.

The following interesting communications was
on Thursday last, laid before Congress, by the
President Of the United States
WAsHrNGroN, Jan. ls, 1853.
To the Senate and House of
Rep, eseatatires Of The United States ::
8 have the honor herewith to transmit a re
port from the Secretary of the Interior, from
which it appears that the efforts of that depart
ment to induce the Indians remaining in Florida
to'migate to the country assigned to their tribe
west Of the Mississippi have been entirely unsuc-
cessful. The only alternative that now remains
) is either to compel them by force to comply with
the treaty made with the tribe in MAY, 1882, by
which they agreed to migrate within three years
I from that date, or to allow the arrangements
made with them in 1912, referred to IN the Sec
retary's report, by which they were to remain in
the temporary occupancy Of a portion of the pc
ninsula until the Government should see fit to
remove them, to continue
1t cannot be denied that the withholding of
$50 large portion of her territory from settle
sment, is serious injury to the State Of Florida,
and although ever since the arrangement above
referred to the Indians have manifested desire
to remain at peace with the whites, the presence
of people who may at any time, aud upon any
real or fancied provocation, be driven to acts of
hostility, is a source of constant anxiety and
alarm to the inhabitants on that border.
There can be nc doubt, also, that the welfare
Z Of the indians would be promoted by their re-
S1noval from territory where frequent collisions
!. between them and their more powerful neighbors
are daily becoming more inevitable.
On the other hand, there is every reason to
believe that any manifestations Of a design to re-
move them by force, or to take possession of the
s territory allotted to them. would be Immediately
retaiiated by acts of cruelty on the defeuceless
inhabitants.
The number of Indians now remaining in the
State is, it is true very inconsiderable, (not ex-
Iceeding it is believed, FIVE hundred ); but, owing
to the great extent cf the country occupied by
sthem, and its adaptation to their peculiar mode
Sof warfare, force very disproportioned to their
numbers would be necessary to capture or expel
them, or even to protect the white settlements
/ from their incursions. The military force now
st ,tioned in that State would be inadequate to
these objects, and if it should be determined to
force their removal or to survey the territory al
!. lotted to them, some addition to it would be ne
eessary, as the Government has but small
Z force available for that service. Additional ap-
Preparations for the support of the army would
eako, in that eveLt, be necessary.
For these reasons have deemed it proper to
submit the whole matter to Congress for such
actions as they may deem best.

A HoMc1DE.-Our community was startled
on last Saturday morning by the announcement
that young man by the name of Andrew Mul-
drow had been killed by Daniel G. Mcleod. 1t

facts of the case, or to say anything which might
prejudice the living or the dead. It is our priv
iege, however, to state what IS matter Of rec
ord, and what is universally, conceded, to be,
true. IN
The prisoner had been placed in possession Of
theprernises where the tragical act was performed
by the Sheriff Of the District on the day before
the night which it occurred. The Sheriff acted
under the. authority Of warrant Of restitution,
signed two magistrates, which commanded
him to eject the former tenant and all every 9th
er person in possession by or through the said
tenant, and to deliver the premises tothe person
entitled to the possession, whose tenant Mr.. Nc.
Leod was The unfortunate deceased was not
the former tenant, but had been in possession a
short time under him, and it was in attempting
10 wrest the possession from Mr.. Mcleod that he
lost his life. lie had obtained possession Of the
house and was killed by gun fred by Mcleod
from the outside Of the house. A corners jury
have returned verdict in accordance with the
above facts. Mr. Mcleod is now in prison, and
the whole mater will undergo judicial investiga-

The Female Heart.

There is nothing under heaven so delicious as
the possession of pure, fresh, immutable affec-
ton. The most fecitous moment of mans
life-the most ecstatic Of all his emotions and
sympathies,-is that in which he receives an
ayowal from the idol of his heart. The springs
of feeling when in their youthful purity, are
fountains of unsealed and gushing tenderness
the spell that at once draws them forth, is the
mystic light Of future years and undying memo
ry. Nothing in life is so pure and devoted as
woman's love. It matters not whether it be for
husband, or childor sister, or brother it is the
same pure unquenchable fame, the same con-
slant and immaculate glow of feeling, whose
undeniable touch-stone is trial. Do but give
her one token of love, one kind word, one gen.
tie look, even if it be amid desolation and death,
the feelings of that faithful heart will gush forth
as torrent in despite Of every bond or merce-
nary tie.
More priceless than the gems Of Golconda is
the female heart, and more devoted than the
idolatry of Mecca, is woman's love. There is no
sordid view or qualifying selfinterest in the feel
ing. 1t is principle and characteristic Of her
nature-a faculty and infatuation which absorbs
and concentrates all the fervor of her soul and
all the depths of her BOSOM. / would rather
be the idol of one unsullied and unpractised
heart than the monarch of empires. 1 would
rather possess the immaculate and impassioned
devotion Of one high-soued and enthusiastic fe-
male than the sycophantc fawning of millions.

New USE FOR BEDBuGs.--The New York
Sunday Atlas annouccs that the discovery ofthe
utmost Importance to wine drinkers has been
made by Mr.. Struggles, maker Of port and
champagne wine in New Jersey. The Lancaster
Express from which we derive our facts states
that the rapid consumption of cockroaches used
to give the nutly and peculiarly piquant flavor
to wine had made it difficult to find sufficient
supply. In this dilemma the wine maker con-
ceived the happy idea that bedbugs might be used
as substitute. He tried the experiment and
the result was far more satisfactory than he had
anticipated. 1t was found that quart Of bed
bugs contained as much offavorng principle as
three pints or more Of the roaches-and that the
former have but little of that narcotic sleep pro-
ducing effect which is attributed to the latter
Contracts have been made with some of the
fashionable boarding house keepers in Philadel-
