and nothing could be more disagreeable; we
riskcd getting fever, and there were four
hours of dangerous travel yet before us. But
by this time we were half undreSsed, and soon
were floating in the bituminous waves. The
beach was fine gravel, and shelved gradually

careful to avoid touching the water with my

when swimming the body rose half ont of the
water 1 should think it possible to dive for
short distance, but should prefer that some
one else would try the experiment.
With log of wood for pillow, one might
sleep as on one Of the patent mattreSses.-Thc
taste of the water is salt and pungent, and
stings the tongue like saltpetre. We were OBJ
liged to dress in haste, without even wiping
off the detestable liquid; yet experienced a
very little of that discomfort which most tray
eliers have remarked Where the skin has
been previously bruised, there was slight

THE STATE ARSENAL RoBBERY.-The Grand
Jury of Dauphin County at the late session of
the Court, found two bills against Andrew E.
Draae, late keeper of the State Arsenal, and
Aaron Coburn, Democratic Member of the
House of Representatives from the County Of
Philadelphia, for robbery of the State Arsenal
at Harrisburg few months ago. The first
count OF the indictment charges Drane with
the Larceny of rifles and muskets to the value
of 81, ,025, Coburn with being accessory to said
Larceny before the fact. The second count
charges Coburn alone with receiving the prop
erty referred to, knowing it to have been sto-
len. The other indictment is against both for
a conspiracy to appropriate to their own use
the property of the Commonwealth. The case
was continued by the Court, at the request of
Mr.. Coburn's counsel. Mr.. G. was held to bail
in the sum of So 500, to appear at the April
sessions and was discharged. Drane remains

TIE INDIAN TROUBLES IN FLoRIDA--Slnce
the attack upon Lieut.. Hartsufrs party, that
portion of Florida along the Indian River and
in the vicinity of ort Myers has become very
unsafe for whites. Straggless from the Fort,
or adventures in pursuit of game in those wild
but hitherto peaceful hunting districts, are
fred upon by yellow miscreants concealed be-
hind trees and in the chapparal. We have
Just received authentic information Of another
attack equal in atrecity to that committed upon
Lieut.. Hartsuff7s squad. Il is a letter from an
officer dated, Fort Myers, January 10, lS56.-
1t says,--ssAn express has just arrived from
Fort Deynaud with another Indian outbreak.
a party of weodcutters, consisting of a corpo-
raj and FIVE men, were fired at by 20 Indians, 4
miles from the post. One man only escaped
falc slightly wounded y the rest We're massa-
cred, and twelve mules killed. Lieut.. Larn-
ed, I'd Artillery, directly went in search of the
savages but though he secured the country a.
round not sign or trace of them could be
found, and strangely enough the dead bodies
OF the men were also missing, nor was thero
any trace of blood, but the country is so much
under water that blood could easily be washed
away. On his return Lieut.. Webb, I'd Arti-
lery, and party went out. They, too, explo-
red every place, but without success; so the
case remains mystery. The Indians were
supposed to be headed by an old chief named
Okchan. Repeated scouts have been sent in
every direction through the country from Fort
Dcynaud since the affair with Lieut.. Hartsuf,
and though they have Frequently seen Indian
hogs, (it is commonly said that where you find
Iadian hogs, the Indians themselves are not
far off, they never have seen any trace of the
Indians Themselves .

GEORGIA AND THE ABoLITIoNIsTs.-Gov
Johnson, of Georgia, lately sent a message to
the Legislature, transmitting the resolutions
passed by the General Assembly of Vermont
in relation to Kansas. The Governor denoun-
ces the Abolitionists of the North, endorces
the principles of squatter sovereignty, speaks
of outrages against the rights OF the South,
and tells the Legislature they must prepare for
the worst, and place the State in the safest at
titudc for seif-preservation- The proceedings
in the two Houses, when the Vermont resolu-
tions came up for action, were rather rich.
Some of the members wanted to send them
back, accompanied with leaden bullet, a
charge of gunpowder, and coil of rope; 9TH
ers desired that the Governor be requested to
transmit them to the ssdeep, dark and fetid
sink of social and political iniquity from which
they emanated," with the inscription that
..Georgia heeds not the rawlings of hell born IA
naticism.'' - Another resolution was offered il
the Senate, recommending the President to
employ a gang of laborers dig ditch around
| the Green Mountain State, and float the thing
| into the Atlantic.'' The resolutions, however
were finally referred to a committee.

United States in May, 1854, and which can now
be found in the Congressional Globe, SD Con-

he takes strong ground against Romanism.
Gen. Cass, after giving the barbarous treatment
ofProtcstants in many Roman Catholic coun-

concludes as follows:

RAILROAD AccIDENT.-A frightlul accident
occurred on the Columbia Railroad on the
night of the 4th, about four miles west of Phi
ladelphia, by which one person was killed and
twenty-seven were wounded. rail, rendered
brittle by the intense cold, broke in three pie
ees, throwing the front wheels of the forward
car off the track. These wheels were, howev-
er, drawn upon the rails again, and this car at
terwards retained its position upon the track
The second ear was thrown from the track,
and the forward axle breaking, the car, with
all its occupants, was precipitated down an
embankment abont thirty feet high. The car
in its descent struck large tree at the bot
tom. The concussion split the car open and
threw many of the passengers to the ground,
ana enabled most of the others to escape from
the wreck. Had the not been broken to
pieces the consequences would have been
more frightful, as there was very hot fire in
the stove. The blazing contents of the stove
were scattered through the in its descent,
aud il 4 few minutes the latter was in flames.

MARYLAND'5 EXECUTIVE on SECRET SocIE-
Tres.-Governor Ligon, in his message to the
Legislature of Maryland, called the attention
of that body to the existence .rithin the State
Of certain political societies which he denonn-
ced as subversive of the weil-estabished pyin-
ciples of Republican Government. The Leg
islature referred the subject to Select Com
mittee, of which Mr.. A. K. Kennedy, of the
Baltimore delegation, was chairman, with in
structions to enquire, first, whether any and
what political societies existed in the State !;
second, whether any society, secret or open,
was known to encourage or produce purposes
which tended to such sssubverson of the well
established principles of our government -
and thirdly, whether any or what society, or
portion of the people of Maryland have intro
duced religious issues into the field of politi-
| cal organization; with other kindred inquiries.
The committee were also empowered to re :
! quest the Governor to communicate to them
any information he possessed, and to send for
persons or papers if they deemed an investiga-
tion necessary.
The organ of the Romish prelate of New
York takes alarm at this step of Mr.. Kennedy
mean to do anything good by his proposed
committee This is all the organ says, and
the hint is put forth as warning to the
friends of Romanism to be on their guard a.

the key to the mysterious fear on the part of the
Freeman's Journal! 1t appears that Mr.. Ken
nedy has turned the tables upon Gov. Ligon,
