MYSTERY CLEARED UP.--On the 2sth of August
a Mr.. A. D. Edwards, with his wife, very handsome
lady, came to this city from Vicksburg, Mississippi
en- route for Canada the native place of Mr.. Edwards
from whence they going to settle in Iowa. They
put up at Maillard,s Hotel in Broadway. On Friday
last Mr.. Edwards and lady took promenade in Broad
way, and went into Taylors saloon where he left her
sitting, to call at the Commercial Bank to get bill
of exchange for $4,000, which he held on that bank
cashed, promising to return in short time. She
waited until she got tired of sitting, and then left
the saloon to do shopping shortly again return
ing, but her husband had not yet returned nor has
she seen him up to the present time. Not hearing
anything Of him the following day, she became
greatly alarmed, and gave the above particulars to
Mr. Brevoort specialaid to Superintendent Tallmadge.
Mr.. Brevoort learned that Mr.. Edwards had drawn
the $4,000, and after leaving the bank short time
returned and got $1,000 Of the bills exchanged for
gold and then took the evening train of cars for the
East, leaving his wife behind. His wife, who married
Mr.. Edwards some two years since in Vicksburg was
then widow, very wealthy, and owned several valu-
able plantations in Mississippi, Arkansas and other
places. She, at her husbands request had just sold
her Arkansas property-the money in her husbands
possession being part of the proceeds. She is in the
greatest excitement at his strange disappearance,
and cannot but believe that he has been touy dealt
with as she conceive of no reason why he should
| deser. her. Fortunately, she is left with abundant
ready means, and has started for the West i'll pursuit
| of him, leaving her baggage at her hotel i'll New
York. IN. Y. Evening Post, 4th.

By the arrival yesterday Of the steamship Ope-

Later from Florida.

We learn from the Tampa Peninsnlar, of the 29th
ult., that on the 18th scouting party under Capt.
Mickler captured an Indian warrior, his squaw and
child. The Pennsular says:
Among other things, he informed Capt.,M. that he
(Tommy, as he represented his name,) was on the
island that Capt. NJ. attacked on the 18th ut., and
had made his escape, with his wife and child, in q
canoe that he his way to join Bow
legs. who at the CompteSassy, with ''plenty of
warriors ~ that his (Bowlegs) party was there
raising compte, and that vessels came from Key
West and Cuba to exchange ammunition for it. In
this connection he exclaimed, "white man good
too much"
The old fellow was in bad health, and appeared
willing to accompany his captors, after being told
that he would not be sent to Arkansas which he said
was too cold.
After searching six days, Intellectually for the en-
trance to the Everglades, the command commenced
reracing their course and arrived at Fort Center
the 2lst.
The captives were taken to Fort Myers, and, on
the night of the 26th ut the squaw escaped, taking
away her child, an old rifle, couple of blankets and
seven days rations.
On the Goth ult Capt. Hendricks company struck
the trail Of six warriors and pursued it. The Indians,
when discovered halted and snapped their rifles !;
Capt X. charged killing one warrior and capturing
child four years of age The saw-grass swamp en-
abled the balance of the Indians to escape
The Peninsular has the following paragraphs:
Capt. J. E. Mickler has been in Tampa during the
past few days. He is in good health and spirits
thinks he can find Bowegs, and is sanguine that the
war will be closed this winter.
The Quartermaster at Fort Myers is instructed to
make thorough examination of the boats at that
post and at Punta Rassa, and to cause them to be
held in readiness for the service at any moment.

THE REWARDS OF DEMONSTRATING the ap-
pointmcnt by the President of Mr.. Beverley Tucker
to the Liverpool Consuate-one of the richest of the
executive gitts-the Jackson Mississippian induges
in the following well merited sneer:
It will be rccollected that Beverly Tucker, the Lv
erpoo appointee, instructed the public, not long
since, upon the wisdom and justice of the Walker
surest road to pelf and punder, we suppose we may
look out for perfect deluge of pro,Walker mani
festOs.'
The editor of the Mssissippan probably did more
to secure the vote of Mississippi for Mr.. Buchanan
than any other ten public men in the State. The
treachery practced upon the South is evidently sick
enng him. No wonder.

Col. Sandidge and Gen. W. |. Hamilton addressed
the good people of Bastrop on Monday last. We are
really sorry that Col Sparks the American champion
of North Louisiana not here to give them such
political lashing as he gave Bob Hunter, Ien-Mile
Bob" short time since. After the Colonel got
through skinning him he vamosed the rancho in a
hurry, and the first place we heard of him he was in
Old Rapidcs, near Ten,Mile How he got there so
soon is more than we can tell. We presume, how
ever that he had heard Col Sparks intended to follow
him up, and for fear that the old war horse would
pitch into him again, he went right home as fast as
his poor aded mustang could carry him. If the Colonel
is in pursuit of poor Bob we would advise him not to
go to TenMile, for the that he may get him
self into bad predcament with Bob and the free mig
gers OF that settlement

THE AMERICAN PARTY IN LoUIsIANA.-The most
heart-cheerng intelligence reaches US by every mail
from every portion OF the State, of the preparation OF
the Americans for the November election. In the
selection of standard bearers, the American party
has been governed by the rule that the office should
seek the man, and not the the Office. The best,
the purest, the ablest, most intelligent and popular
men in the American ranks have been selected. The
candidates gentlemen who will arouse the enthu-
siastic devotion of the Americans, and command the
respect and admirato even OF their opponents.
This is as it should be- We are convinced that a
large majority of the voters Of Louisiana approve the
principles OF the American party, and with proper
eSertions in every parish aud precinct in the State
there will be such majority given to candidates
in the November election that will gladden. the heart
Of every true American throughout the country. We
need only concerto action perfect organizations and
energetic action to achieve glorious victory. We dc
hope and trust that our friends in each precinct
throughout the State, and in Morehouse parish more
particularly, will at once address themselves u the
work and labor without ceasing until glorionS
victory shall be achieved.

FREE NEGROES IN CASADA.-A recent number of
the Indiana State Sentinel says:
The Canadian government are determined to get
rid Of their free negro population. A proposition
was made some time since to isolate them in the
northern portion of Canada but this project failed.
Now petitions being forwarded to the home gov.
ernment to send the entire negro population of Cana
da to some of the English tropical islands. From
this it would appear that the Canadians are rapidly
getting over their scky sympathy for the negro, and
are determined not only to drive them ont of this
northern refuge, but debar them from seeking that
asylum in the future. Where will the poor negro go?
1t will not be at all surprising if thousands Of
way negroes should wend their way back to their
masters to escape transportation.
