The FLORIDA WAR.-The military ope-
rations against the Indians in Florida is
to be carried on, it is said, with increased
vigor. A letter from Tampa says:
By letter from Fort Meyers. dated
September 18th, we are advised that
" Jumper. the great chief of the Arkansas
Seminoles. will come down Tin accor-
dance with the terms of recent treaty
between him and the authorities at Wash
ington) with a delegation" and try to in
duce Bowlegs to remove to the West. If
he cannot succeed in that, he will bring
400 or 500 of his tribe down and fight in
connection with the troops, as the friendly
Creeks did during the war of 1836-'4O.
1t is to be hoped that their services will
not be needed but if they should be.
they will prove most valuable ally to the
troops which will be in the field. so that
we may expect exciting times this winter
in the Everglades.

Judge Nisebet, of Georgia, one of the
Wings who is playing the part Of the true
patriot, in his eloquent letter on the times,
in which he avows his determination to
vote for Mr.. Buchanan. says:
"TuE DEMOCRATIC Is THE ONLY NATION.

TIMES HAVE LEFT TO HONEST MEN"
That's right to the point. 1t is a vol>

ought not to spend breath to refute.

TRAVIS H. KEEPS. ESQ
Dear Sir Your letter of the 24th
iasts,, ihviting the to meet in discussion the
Hon. VIM. o. Goode at your next court.
came to hand last evening, 1 hasten
gratefully to acknowledge the compliment
it implies. and to express my thankful
ness for 1the honor done me by the Gen.
trail Committee at Richmond and the late
Convention at Petersburg. in appointing
me Fillmore elector for this district. So
soon as information of my appointment
was officcially given to me by R. o.
Britton and others, committee for the pur-
pose, l wrote to them declining the Office
which they rendered.: That whilst my
long cherished political principles had un-
dergone no material modification or
change. yet the change of circumstances
or parties rendered it necessary, in order
to maintain those principles, that should
act in the present canvass With the South
ern party which supports Mr.. Buchanan
for the Presidency. The great issue before
the coun.ry is between .ree-soiism on one
side and Democracy on the other. With
this understanding hesitate not to declare
for Democracy. No man who loves the
union, and knows anything of its value,
will have the least difficulty in such g
contest. All party considerations viii
yield to the noble sentiment OF patriotism
and the utilization becomes easy. All ad
NIT that there should be no division
amongst US in the present crisis, and al
know that division exists. How shall i
be healed, and we Of the South be brought
to act 10 concert thus presenting TO The
enemies of our country mighty host an
mated by the same spirit Of love and lib
erty. whose moral power must be felt anc
acknowledged throughout the land. Sure
ly the weaker party ought not to exac
compliance of the stronger. Then thu
problem is solved, and there is nothing
left for us in the South but firmly, united
ly and as one man to vote for Mr.. Buch
anan.
am, my dear sir. with very great re-
spect, your obedlent servant.

The Old Lime Wing Press on the Old
Line Wing Convention.

L1nes wing convention.
The Boston Advertiser, an old line
Wing organ. protests against the action
Of the Wing Convention at Baltimore.
This is what The Advertiser has to say OF
the Candidates presented by the Balti>
more Convention (:
Thus much for ''principles." The res
solutions certainly cannot be accepted as
declaration of Wing principles. How is
it with the men !? Here is the ninth res
olution
' That we cordially approve of the
nomination of AndrewJ Donelson, of Ten
nessee, for the Office Of OF Vice President,
regarding him as national, conserva-
tive, patriot, faithfully devoted to the
Constitution and the Union"
We are told ";a rose by any other name
would smell sweet" but really the odor
that comes by calling Andrew Jackson
Donelson Wing, cannot be mentioned
in the same breath with sweetness. = His
very name rebels against it. An old
fashioned Democrat, of the stralghtest
and hardest kind, the "cordial approval"
of his nomination by the convention at
Baltimore shows that that body had no
legitimate title to the honored name which
it arrogated.
In fact, this coupling of Mr.. Fillmore
with Mr.. Donelson by the Baltimore Con-
vention, in its extremity is new illustra-
ton of the adage that, "Misery@ makes
strange bedfellows." AS editor of the
Washington Union in the year 1850,
it devolved on Mr.. Donelson, as a par
tizan writer, in a partizan. press, to
Willy the administration of Mr.. Fillmore,
then President, and to deny him the
credit which was justly his due. How
faithfully this business was discharged.
the files of the Union to this day bear
witness.
With regard to the nomination OF Mr..
Fillmore, whatever may have been his
antecedents, he is no: now Wing; he
does not pretend that he is. He abandon
ed the Wing party with his own eyes open,
while concealed from the view Of his for
mer associates by the machinery OF Sc
cret organization. When he accepted
the American nomination he made no
pretence of any claim 10, or any desire
for Wing support. In his early speeches
on his return from abroad, he even re-
pulsed the Wing party with an unneces'
sary righteousness. 1t is true MIR. Fill
more once was Wing and so continued
us long as the Wings were powerful
party with Offices in their gift. So was
MIR. Buchanan once federalist, and fol
aught we know, his supporters may at
tempt to get up Convention to ra'ify his
nomination by the Democratic party.
But lest it should be said that because
Mr.. Fillmore was good Wing in 1880
he is therefore entitled to Wing support
now. we will suggest that SO also was Mr.
Dayton. of New Jersey. the Philadelphia
candidate for the Vice Presidency, g
good Wing in 1850, and on the same
+ ground. entitled to Wing support now

FURTHER FROM KANSAS TERRITORY
Gov. GEARY's Do1NGs.-The St. Lewis re-
publican, has the following news from
Kansas
The Steamer, David Tatum, has ar
rived yesterday, in the afternoon from
st. Joseph. She left that port on Wed>
nesday last. AT Kansas she took on board
about $50 citizens, of Missouri, who. in
obedience to the proclamation of Gov.
Geary, had given up their military organ
ization and returned to Missouri. They
were princi pally from the counties Of
Howard, Boone, Saline, Cooper and
Franklin. Lawrence was in possession Of
United States troops. by whom 80 of
Lanes men had been made prisoners.
Lane fled from Lawrence with the re-
mainder of his ragamuff1ns and was in
Nebraska.
The train from Jefferson city last evening
brought down several gentlemen direct
from Kansas. They were passengers on
the AHbry. and bring the latest news.
From one of them we learn that the whole
OF Gen. Reeder's force had been disband-
ed. and had retu rned to their homes. Gov.
Geary was at Lacompton with one thou
sand United States troops, and determin>
cd to maintain the peace and execute the |
laws. Under his orders. ninety men had
been taken prisoners at Lawrence. The
report of Lane aad his band having fed
to Nebraska is confirmed. They are said
TO have stolen property sufficient to, live
on during the Coming winter, if they can
keep together SC long.
There was report last evening that
several lives were lost on each side, at
Lawrence. but this is believed to be incor-
rect. 1t is very gratifying to hear these

Of threetor four hours in length. which

we havesheard several times before. and {
which if thought necessary, we should,

we have occupied our time with more i'm

After Mr.. Garlic had concluded, Hon.
G. S. Lewis, being called upon. respon-

to address the people there, but that after
they had been kept listening SO long to
the abuse of the Democratic party which
had carried this country to its present
high position Of prosperity that had pd>
ded half a continent to our territory, and
carried us safely through three wars, he
would say few words. but as their patti
ence was already tired out, he would be
very brief. He did not consider-i it exact

and against US still. That it was practi-
sing too strongly upon the credulity Of the
people to assert that Buchanan, Douglass,
Cass, Hunter, and all the prominent
members of the Democratic party had
changed, and only himself and Donelson
remained to keep company with Willard
Fillmore and John Minor Bolts. He also
alluded to Mr.. Carlile's abuse of Offices
seekers and demagogues when it was a
notorious fact that the great actuating
principle of his party was the Z" loaves and
fshes," and the gentleman, himself, not
withstanding his pretended holy horror OF
Offices, had no sooner been elected to the
Senate Of Virginia, than he announced
himself a candidate for the Constitutional
Convention and drew pay for serving in
both bodies at the same time, He alluded
to the assuiduity with which the American
party of Virginia were laboring to throw

The Triumph of Democracy.

The State elections which have prece-
ded the great Presidential contest, have
given unmistakable indications of an
overwhelming triumph of the Democratic
party on the 4th of next month. TIE few
g Faint Hearts," and Giant Despairs, -
of the Democracy, are now embolden and
sapguine. while our opponents are in the
deepest mire of the "SIough of Despon-
dency." That Mr.. Buchanan will be cleo
ted by very respectable majority. is
generally conceded by all-friend and
foe. We should not be surprised if his
election was as nearly unanimous as was
that of Gen. Pierce.
But one duty now remains for the peo-
pie OF Virginia. and that is to roll up a
majority for Mr.. Buchanan in the Old
Dominion that will show the whole Union
the estimation in which the fusionists are
held here, and disprove the assertion that
free-soilism is gaining a strong foot-hold
in this country; as well as to indicate our
determination to maintain our Constitu-
tional and State Rights. That this State
will cast its vote for the Democratic can
didate is forgone conclusion. but the
majority should be no meagre one. Let
us place ourselves right upon the record
and give an overwhelming majority. We
would advise every man to SO record his
vote. that in after years when the present
crisis is reverted to. he viii be proud Of
it. He who now votes wrong can never
lid himself of the stain.
