and nothing could be mere disagyccable; we

hours of dangerous travel yet before Us. But
by this time VIC we're half undrosssd, and soon
were floating in the bituminous waves. The
beach was iae gravel, and shelyed gradually
down. kept my turban on my head, and was
careful to avoid touching the water with M

fully soft and soothing to the skin; ard even
when swimming the body rose half out Of the
water. 1 should think it possible to dive for
q short distance, but should prefer that some
one else would try the experiment.
With log OF wood for pillow, one might
sleep as on one of the patent mattrcsses.-The
taste of the water is salt and pungent, and
stings the tongue like saltpetre. We were OBJ
liged to dress in haste, without even wiping
off the detestablc liquid; yet experienced
very little Of that discomfort which most trav-
ellers have remarked. Where the skin has
been previously bruised, there was slight
smarting sensation, and my body felt clammy

RAILROAD AcCIDEET.-A frightful accident
occurred on the Columbia Railroad on the
night of the 4th, about four miles west Of Phi
ladephia, by which one person was killed and
tycntv-sevcn were wounded. \ rail, rendered
brittle by the intense cold, broke in three pic
ccs, throwing the front wheels of the forward
car of the track. These wheels we're, howev-
or, drawn upon the rails again, and this car af-
terwards retained its position upon the track.
The second car was thrown from the track,
and the forward axle breaking, the car, with
all its occupants, was precipitated down an
embankmcnt about thirty feet high. The car
in its descent struck large tree at the bot
tom. The conclusion split the car open and
threw many of the passengers to the ground,
and enabled most OF the others to escape from
che wreck. Had the car not been broken to
oieces the consequences would have been
more frightful, as there was very hot fire IN
.hc stove. The blazing contents OF the stove
were scattered through the car in its Descent
and in a few minutes the latter was in haines.

THE STATE arsenal RoBBERT.-The Grand
Jury of Dauphin County at the late session Of
the Court, found two bills against Andrew E.
Drane, late keeper of the State Arsenal, and
Aaron Coburn, Democratic Member of the
House of Representatives from the County Of
Philadelphia, for robbery of the State Arsenal
- Harrisburg few months ago. The first
count of the indictment charges Drane with
the Larceny Of rifles and muskets to the value
ofS2 ,G25, Coburn with being accessory to said
Larceny before the fact. The second count
charges Coburn alone with receiving the prop
srty referred to, knowing it to have been sto-
len. The other indictment is against both for
q conspiracy to appropriate to their own use
the property of the Commonwealth. The case
was continued by the Court, at the request OF
Mr. Coburn's counsel. Mr.. G. was held to bail
IN the sum of go 500, to appear at the April
sessions and was discharged. Drane remains

. GEoRGI, AND THE Administrative
johnson, of Georgia, lately sent message to
the Legislature, transmitting the resolutions
passed by the General Assembly Of Vermont
in relation to Kansas, The Governor dcnoun-
ces the Abolitionists of the North, endorces
the principles Of squatter sovereignty, speaks
of outrages against the rights OF the South,
and tells the Legislature they must prepare for
the worst, and place the State in the safest at
titude for self-preservation. The proceedings
in the two Houses, when the Vermont resolu-
tions came up for action, were rather rich.
Some Of the members wanted to send them
back, accompanied with leaden bullet, a
charge of gunpowder, and coil Of rope; 9TH
ers desired that the Governor be requested to
transmit them to the s'deep, dark and fctid
sink OF social and political iniquty from which
they emanated,'' with the inscription that
.'GeOrgia hceds not the rawlings OF hell born IA
naticisIn'' Another resolution was offered III
the Senate, recommending the President to
employ a gang laborers TO dig a ditch around
the Green Mountain State, and float the thing
into the Atlantic.'' The resolutions, however,
were finally referred to a committee.

UEAa LEWIS CAss ON RoNANIsY.-Thc Hon.
Lewis Cass made speech in the Senate OF the
United States in May, 1854 and which can now
be found in the Congressional Globe, SD Con-
gress, 1st Session, pages G8l to 600, wherein
he takes strong ground against Romanism.
Gen. Cass, after giving the barbarous treatment
OF Protestants in many Roman Catholic coun-
tries, on this and the other side OF the Atlantic
concludes as follows:
s"And does Archbishop Hughes believe that
ali these abuses are destined to continue, un-
touched and unchanged? That they will much
longer resist The mighty tide Of public opinion
which has already done so much in these, our
latter days, and is fated to do so much more
And are The representatives, Of the American
people to lay their hands upon their mouths,
and mouths in the dust, to look on at the per.
secutions and expressions TO which their coun-
trymen are exposed abroad, and not even ex-
press their displeasuro and their demands?
And all from an aItctation Of national decor
I'M, national squcamishncss, it should be
called, which is so tender to the presumption
Of others as to sacrifice our own true rights

THE INDIAN TROUBLES N FLoRIDA.-Since
the attack upon Lieut.. Hartsulf7s party, that
portion of Florida along the Indian River and
in the vicinity of Fort Myers has become very
unsafe for whites. Stragglers from the Fort,
or adyenturers in pursuit Of game in those wild
but hitherto peaceful hunting districts, are
fred upon by yellow miscreants concealed be-
hind trees and in the chapparal We have
just received authentic information of another
attack equal in atrecity to that committed upon
Lieut.. Hartsuffss squad. 1t is letter from an
officer dated. Fort Myers, January 10, 1885,
II says'--''An express has just arrived from
L oF' Deyhaud with another Indian outbreak.
Il party OF woodcutters, consisting OF corpo-
raj ana I'VE mon, were fired at by % Indians, 4
miles from the post. One man only ESCAPED
(he slightly wounded y the rest were massa-
cred, and twelve mules killed. Lieut.. Larn-
ed, I'd Artillery, directly went in search Of the
savases but though he secured the country a.
round not sign or trace of them could be
found, and strangely enough the dead bodies
OF the men We're also missing, nor was there
any trace OF blood, but the country is so much
under water that blood could easily be washed
away. On his return Lieut. Webb. 2d Artil-
iery, and party went ont. They, too, explo-
red every place, but without success; SO the
case remains mystery. The Indians were
supposed to be headed by an old chief named
Okchan. Repeated scouts have been sent in
every direction through the country from Fort
Dcynaud since the affair with Lieut. HartsuH,
and though they have Frequently seen Indian
hogs, Gt is commonly said that where you find
Indian hogs, the Indians themselves are not
far off, they never have seen any trace of the
Indians themselves
