by GEORGE P. MORRIS.
I'm with you once again. my friends,
No more my footsteps roam;
Where il began my journey ends,
Amid the scenes of home.
No other cline has skies so blue,
Or streams so broad and clear.
And where are hearts so warm and true
As those that meet me here?
Since last, with spirits wild and free,
pressed my native strand,
I've wandered many miles at sea,
And many miles on land.
I've seen fair realms of the earth
By rude commotion torn,
Which taught me how 10 prize the worth
Ofthat where | was born.
In other countries, when | heard
The language of my own,
How fondly each familiar word
Awoke an answering tone
But when our woodland songs were sung
Upon foreign mart.
The vows that faltered on the tongue
WAh rapture thrilled the heart
My native land, / turn 10 you,
With blessings and with prayer,
Where man is brave and woman true,
And free as mountain air.
Long may our flag in triumph wave
Against the world combined,
And friends welcome-foes a grave,
Within our borders find

The Florida Indiana.

Governor Broome, Of Florida, passed through
Charleston at the close of last week on his way
home from this city, whittier he came to confer
with the Government on the Indian distur.
Dances in Florida. The Charleston papers
state that he was successful in the objects OF
his INSTITUTIONAL hteVjgencer Of Thursday.
''Governor Broome ordered out seven com.
panies Of mounted men. Three of these COM
panies were taken into service Of the United
States but the four remaining, still required
for the purpose Of defence, we're still on the
hands Of the State. The officers of the State
had no funds which they could apply to the
purpose of their substance, and that they
might not be disbanded the Governor went on
to Washington.
"The Government has undertaken to remove
the Indians rs soon as possible beyond the
limits Of the State, to employ all the troops in
the service that can be employed proftably,
and to strengthen with all possible dispatch
the war service on the Everglades and Big
Cypress Swamp.
"The object Of especial interest with his
Excellency was to induce the Government to
employ as much as possible in this work Of re-
moval the native material of the country. The
border residents are peculiarly fitted to cope
with the Indians in this predatory warfare.
and without this he doubted the possibility Of
efficient movement; and il is believed that they
will be used to all the extent to which they
may be required"

cording to population, and TO assemble at the
seat Of government on the 4ih of July next, to
form a State Constitution. The Constitution
is then to be submitted to the people OF the
Territory for ratification.
The preamble to the Act urges reasons why
the territorial form Of government should be
superseded BY that of State. The discovery
Of new wealth in rich deposits Of gold is men.
toned, and the Importance of maintaining the
limits intact, whereby five hundred thousand
acres OF land will be secured to the territory on
becoming State, is made prominent among
the arguments. 1t is thought that if 0regoa
remains united, and enters the Union with her
present boundaries, brilliant future is before
her.
An increase Of influence and power before
Congress is anticipated; and the case Of Cali.

State has no less than lighthouses, and Gus

her harbors are unimproved and unknown, and
her commerce left unaided and unprotected by
the General Government. Oregon is also con.
sidered as much interested in the great enter
prise Of Pacific Railway, hoping to secure
within her limits the western terminus. II is
stated that the population now amounts to fifty

had been for long time an applicant for sea.ser-
vice and ppon the receipt Of letter from the
Navy Department, which he believed 10 be q
favorable response TO his application, he exhibited
great joy and exultation. The nature OF his feel
ings on discovering the letter TO be notification
OF his removal from the active list OF the navy,
may be more readily conceived than described.
Being Of nature peculiarly sensitive, he never
recovered from the shock; but gradually pined
away until the morning OF the 10th instant, when
be departed this life, leaving behind him wife
and five children.
He was buried on Sunday evening, April 2Oth,

Eiopement at West Milford.

A STRANGE CAsE.-Much excitement has
been created at West Milford by the elopement
of Mrs. Sarah Courson, with David White of
the same place. This is the third time this
lady has figured as one of the parties of an
elopement. Her first elopement occurred at
the age of 20 or Whereabouts, when she left her
mothers residence with her first lover and
went to New York, staid spell, came back
home with child in embryo, never having
been married-or at least it is so said. She
became mother and resided home about six
months or year, when she went off on tour
with man named Armstrong, New Yorker.
She was afterwards married to Courson, with
whom she resided till the 25th March last,
when she again left West Milford to meet the
said David White, before spoken of, at Sloats-
burg, where the two took the cars and went
West, since which time nothing more is known
Of them. She left her child by her companion
at West Milford.
This Sarah Jane Courson is one of family
of six sisters named. Ryerson, five of whom
have left their husbands and eloped with other
men. All six have been married, and not one
of the six live with lawful husband at the
present day; five having eloped and the only
remaining one deserving her husband, or re-
fusing to live with him. We doubt if a case of
equal singnlarity can be found anywhere in the
union.-Paferson, (N ~ Guardian

The SEA SERrEST has "turned up" again
this time FIVE miles south Of Great Egg Harbor.
Capt. Brse, Of the schooner Eliza Ann Steele,
at Norfolk, reports having seen the monster a
few days ago. He viewed him, he says, through
his glass. The serpent at the time had erected
his head, which was oval in form, some three
feet above the water, and he could plainly see
one Of bis eyes, which was very large and very
sparkling, and surmounted by huge bunch.
lie further says the head Of the animal was APP
parently very rough and knotted, but the rest
of his body was very smooth and black, and
his tail was fat like an cells. He supposed
him to be at least forty feet in length and OF
the diameter of hogshead. The captain in
tended to make an effort TO capture him, but
the monster unfortunately disappeared in a few
minutes, going down head foremost where the
water was only FIVE fathoms in depth. The
Norfolk Herald says the captain, who is an old
whaler, says that he never saw such an animal
before, and that he is willing to swear TO the
truth of his story.
