sOUTH FLORIDA--THE sRnINOLBs

After years OF quiet and OF peace, the War-whOOD
once more reechoes among the pines and cypress
hammocks of South Florida, raised by the resolute
few of the once powerful tribe of Seminoes, who
still cling TO the homes of their fathers determined
to resist every attempt made toward their removal,
and 10 prevent, so far as in them lies the onward
march Of the white man. Such being the case,
few facts at tits time in reference 10 the nature
and topography of the country, and the manners of
the Indians, may not be unnteresting.
THE land of sun and howers"-as il has not
unsppropriately been nsmed-is to-day as much
terra ineognta TO the of the people as il was
10 the inhabitants Of the Old World az the time
when Europeans first landed on its sandy shore.
1t has been represented as perfect paradise, q
second Eden, possessing vast tracts OF land sus-
ceptble of the highest cultivation with but little
labor, Astounding in natural groves of the orange,
lemon, banana, and other tropical fruits, and Offer
ing the greatest inducements TO settlers. and these
statements have been made the basis of all the
prosecutions against the Indians, who have been
driven inch BY inch southwark, until from being a
great nation, extending their Influence far and
wide, they have been reduced to a mere handful
of men, confined TO the extreme southern portion,
and rendered desperate by misfortune and NAL
treatment.
1t is common saying among the officers of the
army, who have seen service in Florida, that all
that part Of the State south of line drawn from
ST. Augustine to Tampa is not worth the trouble it
would take TO fence it in. 1t consists mainly of
vast pine forests, with thick undergro.th OF the
saw palmetto, interpreted with prairie and ham
mock land. In the center lies Lake Okeechobee.

PIERCE VERSUS PIERCE.

1t las often been observed by lawyers skilled in
criminal jurisprudence, as well as by those who in
civil practice have obtained a wide knowledge of
human nature that if you can only get rogue to
write series OF letters he ia sure, while attempt

himself in such contradictions as cannot fail to be-
tray bis real character and objects.
OF the Justice of this observation President
Pierce may serve as striking example. On the
lst of January last, in his annual message he thus
expressed himself; I'm the Territory of Kansas
" there have been acts prejudieial to good order,
but as yet none have occurred under circum-

was sent to Congress, Kansas had already been
the scene Of three separate inyasions of Border
Rufians from Missouri. At the first invasion they
had driven the bona fide settlers from the polls and
had elected Whitfield as delegate from the Terri

again driven the bona fde settlers from the polls
