The Committee of the Legislature br laying

reported yet, but the way it is proposed ato do 1t
has been divulged BY Richmond letter writer
The primary object is, of course, to give every
District to the Democracy, and nofegard is NAG 10

not acted finally, and the plan may be materially
changed even before it is reported to the House,
we publish at present so much only ct 1t as Is OF
special interest to the majority of our readers:

to Law off the Districts so that the claims OF the

The Florida Indians.

On Wednesday last, President FILLMORE laid
before the House of Representatives, an interesting
Message in regard to the Florida Indians The
effort of the Department of the Interior to induce
these Indians (not exceeding five hundred in num-
ber) to migrate to the country assigned to their
tribe West of the Mississippi, have been entirely
unsuccessful The only alternative, therefore,
that now remains is, either to compel them by
force to comply with the treaty of May, 1852, or
continue the arrangement made with them in 1912,
by which they were to remain in the temporary
occupancy of portion Of the peninsula until the
Government should see fit to remove them. The
President says
1T cannot be denied that the Withholding of so
large portion of her territory from settlement is
serious injury to the State of Florida; and, al
though ever since the arrangement above referred
to the Indians have manifested desire to remain
at peace with the whites, the presence OF people
who NAV at any time, and upon any real or fan
ced pro1ocaton. be drvento acts OF hostility. IS
source of constant anxiety and alarm TO the lnhab-
itants on that border.
"There can be no doubt, also, that the welfare
of the Indians would be promoted by removal from
a territory where frequent collisions between them
and their more powerful neighbors are daily be-
coming more inevitable.
Son the other hand, there is every reason to
believe that any manifestations of desire to re-
move by force or to take possession of the terrific
nv allotted to them, would be Immediately retail
lated by acts of cruelty on the deienceless lnhabi
tants"
Owing to the great extent Of the country occu-
pied by the Indians, and its adaptation to their pc
culiar mode Of warfare, force very disproportlon-
ed to their numbers would be necessary to capture
or expel them or even to protect the white settle
ments from their incursions. The military force
now stationed in Florida, would be inadequate to
these objects, and the President suggests an addl-
ton to the force if it should be determined to re-
move the Indians or survey the territory allotted
to them. The House referred the message to the
Committee or Military Affairs.

Prof. Faale's LECTURES and ExEiibi-
IiOms.

For more than week past the lectures and e1-
hibitions of Prof HALE, have been attended every
night by large number of our most intelligent
citizens OF the sc,ence ~ ofElectro Biology we
know nothing and shall offer no speculatlons IN
reference to it; but the facts presented by Prot.
HALE satisfy us that the subject is worthy of In
vestigation by scientific men, and as means OF
amusement merely it is quite unsurpassed 1t 10
indeed most wonderful to witness persons, appa-
rently wide awake and in a natural state, after IN
dergong few manipulations, become entirely
subject to the control Of the operator, and imagine
themselves transformed into any variety OF char
acter or placed in any kind circumstances, at his
will and pleasure. At one time they will engage
in the sport of snow-balling orskating-then they
will gather flowers or strawberries, ride on horse
back or in vehicles, escort imaginary ladies', show
ing them all the gallant attentions common on
such occasions. One young gentleman was told
by the operator that he was an aged man, when
he Immediately became decrepit and was assisted
and waited on by his associates, who were under
the delusion, in the kindest manner. Finally ne
died land his ghost appeared to thergreat, conster
nation. These are only few Of the hundreds
of modes in which the influence of this singular
principle is exhibited. All the subjects concur In
representing their sensations as very agreeable,
and describe their subsequent recollection Of what
ever occurs as the remembrance of dream.
Prof HALE regards his science as chiefly valu-
able as means of curing disease. Ofcourse we
are incompetent to speak as to that, though sever
al remarkable cures are reported in other places
His lectures and experiments will continue during
this week every night except Saturday. The in
structions to his class will be given at the same
Mace. in the afternoon Of each day.
