LATER FROM FLORIDA.

The Herald, few days ago, m it, telegraphic dis
patches from Washington, published great raw
head and bloody-bones" story to the effect that
the India, troubles had broken out again, and that
they haa made most hostile demonstration near the
Everglades. This is certainly sheer fabrication, for
by letter from our special correspondent at Fort
Myo- dated August %, we are assured that no fur
ther outbreaks had taken pace, nor were anticipated;
and further that "Capt. A. Elgey, with his company,
went on n scout about the Goth of August, and
"plored the whole country, and saw no Indians nor
"any signs of one" They found very hot and dry
in the southern part Of the State. The probability is
that we shall bear of no more outrages the part Of
The savages or at least not until after the visit of the
delegation from the Greeks and Seminoles living west
Of the Mississippi in accordance with the terms of the
recent treaty between them and the United States
Government.

went on pleasantly till about II or o'clock in the
day, and shortly after commencing the descent of
Norris Mountain, when it became alamngly appa-
rent the passengers in the advance coach that the
hOrses running away and to increase their ter
rOr, the driver was seen rolling in the dust. The
horses thus left unchecked went dashing on in their
mad career, the coach Keeling from side to side under
its heavy opload, hrst upon the two wheels nearest
the precpice and then inclinng in opposite drec-
tiou until at last it was thrown violently over,
CLING bruising and crushing the limbs Of the terrified
passengers, killing horse and breaking the leg Of
another. To add to the confusion Of the scene, the
horses which not disabled continued to drag the
wreck the ground, while the occupants were in-
discriminatory piled up and unable TO help Themselves
The thrilling incidents which followed are thus de-
scribed by passenger:
| could neither speak nor move to help myself being
completely paralyzed with horror, though could see
distinctly all that was going on Two or three persons
were on top of me- and verify believed that all my
companions were killed. At this critical moment, the
rear coach came dashing down the mountain If in
hot pursuit. young man who occupied deck seat
lelped of without waiting for the horses TO slacken
Their speed, and fastened to our assistance. Jumping
upon tie upturned coach, he exrcated the only lady
passepger and, calling Mr.. Davis to aid him. sup
ported her to a seat Ill the coach they had left. Leav-
rg her under the charge of some ladies' he returned to
the +, seueof others. i have since learned that the
uame of this noble-heared young gentleman is Morri-
SON resident of New-YOrk. He had under his care

FALSE IMPREssIoNs.-The Reporter is as
tonished at what it considers false impressions
in regard to the evils of rum-drinking, and says
that the evil (if the Editor SO considers it) has
been greatly exaggerated.
Nay; not SO. We have heard the bitter tale
of those who have deeply drunk from this cup
of sorrow, and they have told US that it cannot
be described. If the victim to intemperance
confined all the evil to himself, then there might
be some palliaton: but look to the sorrow, pow.
ecty and distress he brings to his family and
friends, and then say that it is a necessity OF
society. Is it claimed that forgery is Tn evil
Granted : but they have the same object in view
that the rumSeller has-getting money-with.
out doing half the mischief or causing half the
heart.burnings; and yet one is thrown into the
Penitentiary while the other is held up as q
good citizen. Again--as the Reporter raises
sucha high defence in favor of rumselling, let's
examine and see if there is " false impress.
sion." Reflect for moment upon the kind o.
persons who frequent liquor-vending shops and
the language they use. Is it not the most fl.
thy, vulgar, profane and indecent that can be
used! Is man made better by going to such
places! Is he better citizeH, moralist OF
christian, by such association But a very
short time since we heard at an nti-Prohibi-
tory Law Hotel, loud talking and swearing, in
regard to politics and temperance, on Sunday
evening, which was kept up until about mid.
night, breaking the Sabbath and destroying the
peace of the neighborhood. Is it this wha1
constitutes good citizens! Strange how per
verted the human mind may become! 1t would
really seem that some can believe darkness tC
be light. Listen TO the following from the Re.

The BANvARD FAMnY-For a week past.
this talented Family have been performing
nightly at the Odd Fellows Hall, in this town
to well filled houses. This is the first time
perhaps, in the history of the place that it has
been visited by company of the kind, aud the
popular favor with which they have been receiv-
ed may be estimated by the success they have
had. Their performances consist of select
plays, melO-dramas, comedies, farces, and sing.
ing and dancing. On Saturday night they en-
tertained the citizens with the celebrated play
called The DruEkard," written by John b.
Cough, which shows up the miseries of the
drunkard's life, and is enough to disgust anv
one with the evil practice of drinking. The
Family perform again this evening, and to-
morrow night will give an entertainment for
the benefit of the poor of the town. Those who
seek pleasure and amusement in such things
will find this company equal to their expecta-
tions.
