INDIAN OUTRAGEs IN FLoRIDA.-The
Savannah Republican Of the 10Th ulsimo
says:
The Florida steamer which reached this
city yesterday morning, brings intelligence
of more recent and atrocious barbarities
committed by the Seminoles upon the
whites.
1t appears from the accounts that the saw
ages made descent upon the Alafia settle>
ment, some thirty miles east of Tampa, and
at time when the greater part of the male
population were absent to defend, as they
thought. their more exposed neighbors.-
-Four men, one woman, and three children
(names not giyen) were inhumanly mur-
dered and seaIped, and other outrages COM
mitted On their persons A number OF
houses were also fired and reduced to ashes
by the savages. 1t is supposed that these
outrages were committed by the same party
who burned the house of Mr. Smell and
murdered a Mr. Cunningham, near Mana
tee, few weeks ago.
Washington telegraph., 1856-04-09

TIE FAILS oF RED RIvER.-The Pres
ident of the O. s. Senate, on the 10th
inst, laid before that body a communica-
ton from the Department of War, made
in compliance with resolution calling for
information relative to the improvements
Of the Falls of Red river, at or near Alex
andria, and whether it would be expedi-
ent to have survey of the same
The Sec y of Warsends letter from the
Bureau of Typographical Engineers, sta
ting that it would beyond doubt be a
great facility to have an accurate survey
of the falls before any appropriation is
made for work to be done there. and re-
commends that survey, plan, and esti-
mate be obtained; that the rapids of
Alexandria may be considered as forming
part of the improvement of Red river,
but their locality is so far below the raft
that their improvement may be consider
ed as an independent question and be
made the subject of distinct appropria
ton, and recommends an appropriation of
$4,000.
Washington telegraph., 1856-04-09

MAIL REFUsED--The Postmaster-Gen-
eral, Gays the Little Rock Gazette & Dem
ocrat,) refuses to put mail line in operation
between Pine Bluff and Brownsville, Prai-
rie county, because he supposes the post
age Will net pay the expense of transport
ing the mail on that route. We say he
supl'oses it will not pay expenses, because
the experimen. Of carrying the mail On that
route has not been tried
If it be the policy of the Administration
to economise. and make everything connect
ed with the Post-ofice Department pay,
we would suggest that operations be COM
menced at headquarters, and the Postmaster
General be discharged at once; for in his
position, he not only does not pay the ex-
penses of his salary; but, by his stupidity,
and mulish obstinaey. he is an actual ex-
pense to the government of hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year he remains
in Office

The State Convention of the American
Party is to meet at Little Rock on the
fourth Monday, (the 2Sth day. of April,
1896, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for Governor of Arkansas, and
Electors for the State at large, In the
coming Presidential campaign The Con-
vention to nominate candidate on the
American ticket for Congress, in the
Southern District of Arkansas, meets at
Hot Springs on the third Monday, (the
18th day. of May, 1856. Each Council
Of the American Party in the State is
entitled to three delegates to the above
named Conventions. In view of the near
approach Of the time for holding these
Conventions, it behooves us to call the
attention of our friends to the fact, that
as yet no steps have been taken to Sc
cure representation of the party in
this county, or an expression of the opin-
ions and wishes thereof, at either Con-
vention. 1t is time to go to work
The opposition viii, ere this reaches our
readers, have taken the preliminary steps
to forward the object which they have
in view, and We should be up and doing
if we do not wish to be out-generaled
in the conflict; and the way to 90 to
work, is to cali primary meetings, to be
holden in each township in the county,
and appoint delegates to attend a County
Convention, which it is proposed to call
together on Saturday, the 1871 Of AprI,
to be holden in this place, for the pur-
pose of consulting together upon the
proper measures to be adopted in the
ensuing canvass, and selecting delegates
to the State Convention, and the Con-
vention for the Southern Congressional
District Tt has been suggested that the
members of the American Party in this
township hold a meeting on Saturday,
tie 12th inst, at the Court-House, in

We have had some magnificent Temper

Mo- He handles the subject in mastery
manner, and with an originality which makes
his lectures as entertaining as they are prof
liable. May success crown his efforts wher-
ever he goes. The evils growing out OF
the use of bust head, are too striking to es-
cape the observation even Of a blind man.
The brightest intellects and the most gifted

the greatest of all curses.

FILLMORE and DoNELsoN is a ticket that

hot cakes. The True Democrat has dug up
a letter of Fillmore's, written eighteen years
ago to prove him an abolitionist. and rely
ing Oh the gullibility and ignorance of its
readers, presumes they forget that Fillmore
since then, has been President of the Uni
ted States, and that too. during the most
stormy periods our Government has ever
known. He, as President, signed the fugi-

Neither abolitionist nor 6re-eater found favor
in his eyes.
How with that great frienG of the South,
Franklin Pierce? Why he had three
chances at Kansas, and each time appointed
a Governor from free State, commencing
with that Infamous abolitionist Rcede.
while to Nebraska he sent Southern man
for Governor, when so far as it concerned
the South, old Giddings would have been
harmless there. AMOS.

De Bows Review for March eto.os a.

De Bows Review for March states the
number of lives which were lost in the Uni
ted States by Railroad accidents during the
year 1855, to be l16; bv steamboat acci.
dents during the same period, 170. The
amount OF property destroyed by fire during
the year, estimating only those fires where
the the value of property destroyed was s2O,-
OoO and upwards, he puts down at the enor-
nous sum Of S13,049,O00. To which
must be added the value of property de-
stroyed, where the loss was less than $50
O0O, which would probably increase the ag-
gregate to about eighteen millions. de-
crease compared with 1854, of $1,000. 600

Enra Iasnitism.

On Saturday last. says the American
Organ Of late date, the Hon. Thomas @.
Pratt introduced resolution in the Senate
appointing Nh Nicholson, of Maryland,
Executive Clerk of the Senate, which was
adopted; and this we suppose is the end Of
Mr.. Pra;t's Whiggery; Democratic Senate
having honored him with the selection of an
officer who was not needed Col. Hickney,
by some means, has been promoted to the
Chief Clerkship. and Mr. Machen, who, we
believe, las been Chief Clerk for nearly
thirty years, has been raced, to make room
for the promotion of Colonel Hickuey, the
Jesuit brother of jesuit Priest residing
somewhere in Maryland. The last Con
gress increased Mr., Hickneys salary from
sixteen hundred to eighteen hundred. and
now by the promotion he receives twenty
five hundred las we have been informed }
This same Colonel Hickney is the author
of book entitled "Hickney's Constitution, -
from the sale of which to the General Gov
ernment he has realized. Gf rumors are to
be credted-) fifty thousand dollars. The
public will learn, by this little transaction,
the pecuniary profit of some of these small
clerkships about the Senate.

HOWARD AssocEATIoN.-As singular
fact was remarked yesterday, at the funer-
al of Virgil Boullcmet, Esq, late Presi-
dent of the Howard Association of this
city, which was, that during the nineteen
years of the organization OF the Associa-
tion-it was organized in l831-no active
member has ever died before the present
case. Some members have never had the
yellow fever, and none can get acclimated
to cholera; but only those who have re-
signed, or gone out Of the list Of active
members, have ever before been taken
away 1t would seem as though kind
Providence desired to record by special
honors and length Of days those who were
endowed with so noble humanitarianism
and so great a power of self-abnegatiOa>
1t was, also, thus in a great measure with
The slgners Of our Declaration of Indepen-
dence, who all lived beyond the age allot-
ted to humanity, and saw the fruits Of
their labor and suffering.
