GoyERKMESr OF THE SEMIS0LEs.-The
Florida News gives the following iufarna
ton regarding the government of the Semi.
noles Indians: t-t
Like that of most Of the Indian tribes, the
government of the Seminoles is limited
monarchy, being invested in a principal Chief
or King, who is controlled by council OF
the Chiefs and principal men Of the nation
The national ruler now is lIu. at-to Mike, or
the Blue King, Familiarity known as Billy
BOwlegs, but his authority is very much res
trIeted, the actual head OF the nation being
Arpuika, or Sam Jones, who, though one hun
bred and three years old, and blind, still ex-
rrcises mighty voice in the Council, and one
that report says, is invarisbly opposed to Bow
legs. Billy, it is said, is now, and had been
for long time past, in favor of emigration.
but Sam Jones is determined to die in Flori.
da, and vows eternal hostility to the whites;
and 1t is supposed, upon authority, that The
late attack upon the United States troops
was at his instigatlon.
Some one writing TO the New York I'ri-
bune, from which the foregoing facts were d.
rected, added the following:
Billy Bowlegs, like many of his more civ
ilzed brethren, is entirely under the control
of petticoat government. lie has sister
noted for her sagacity, eloquencp, and un.
yielding hostility TO all attempts at emigr:.-
ton, and who is in MANY respects a most re-
woman. The fast friend and ally
OF SAM Jones, she rules the weak and vasci.
Iating King of the Tribe with an iron hand.
We are assured that Ind it not bcen for her,
the Indians would long since have consen.
ted To leave the country. OF course, she
has no voice at the couaciI fire; but she has
other means Of influencing her followers, and,
like some other women, she leaves no means |
Intried to accomplish the iavorite ends"

CHLoRoroRM.-An interesting discussion
recently took place in the Surgical Society
Of Paris. Some of the conclusions arrived
at lin respec. TO the subject were, that chloro.
form may cause death when il is mixed in
too great proportions with air; that 1t pre-
disposes to syncope, and renders the latter,
when it occurs, more serious. Choroform is
the most dangerous anmsthelic, as it is the
most powerful: a mixture of it with ether
being preferable, as it then produces insen-
sibity quickly aud seems to excite less re-
action. When chlorolorm is administered
it is important to watch attentively both the
state of the pulse and of the respiration.

DUiLDlNb lNAiLhOADo WITHIN ESTIMATES.
The closing report Of Col Waiter Gwinn,
chief engineer OF the North Carolina railroad,
has just been made, announcing the compile
ton OF the work, by which there is rairuad
line through the State from I,orth to south.
The chief fact, however, to which we would
draw attention, is one. which reflects great
credit on Col. Gwinn. 1t is the fact, of such
rare occurrence in railroad history, that the
road has cost less than the estimates, and
that by the sum Of $3.50. But this fact,
though rare in railroad building generally, is
by no means, 1t is stated, rare with Colonel
GwInn. This1is the third. railroad he has
built within the estimates, viz: the North
Carolina railroad, the Seaboard and Roanoke
railroad (Sll,0O0 within the estimates,) and
the Wilmington and Weldon railroad (Ss,94S
within the estilnates.)
Ia this connection, also, the Richmond Dis
patch mentions his estimate of The cost of the
Coyington and Ohio Railroad, made in 1852,
(Sll,3l0. 560D Tor which he was very violent
ly attacked in the Virginia Leg slature, which
embarked in the Improvement upon an esti-
mate OF about S4,0OO,OOO, Now his estimate
is vindieaied by Mr.. Fisk's which has'reached
81 l,000,000. Col. Gwinn gave from the first
nm enlightened and candid statement of the
cost of that great Improvement. 1t would
have been much better had railroad men in
some other parts Of the country initiated the
Colonel's example. ~
