FLORIDA ITEMs.--A detachment Of
Captain Jchnson's Company Of Mounted
Volunteers arrived at Fort Myers on The
9Th inst, from Fieh-Eating Creek, bring
ing with them squaw and her son, lii.
lie boy. Her husband was killed by a
party of Capt. Johnson's company, on
the day previous TO her capture.
This affair took place about twenty
miles from Centre, near the lake. The
party of Indians numbered seven women
and children; the party Of volunteers four
teen.
When the warrior wss killed no other
Indian was seen. lie was shot four lime-
before he fell. His gun snapped on each
occasion of his attempting 10 fire i. The
volunteers attempted 10 take tie Indian
alive but, it is much 10 be regretted, did
not succeed.
The Sguaw is said to be about 90 years
old. and comely in appearance. Size say
tie Indians are scattered al over the coun.
try. What disposition Cen Harvey will
make ofhe is yetto be seen.
One thing is evident from tie above
That the haunls of portion Of the Ind
ans have been discovered. which is the
main thing in Seminole hunt. If they
can only be kept track of, lie war vii
soon be terminated.

Bears on and on forever,
Huge tributes TO the sea.
Oh, for the tranquil river,
Upon whose breast, the while,
Bright summer sunbeams culver,
Or stars look down and smile.
Oh, for the rearing river

Arkansas true Democrat., 1857-11-17

This trio were all, at one time, honored and distinguished members of the democratic party They were each arrayed shoulder to shoulder, by the old hero of the Hermitage as trusted leaders in the victorious policy, which he inau- grated President of the United States.
 Upon the arms of the democracy they were raised up to distinction and trust. Mr. Bell was the successful candidate for Speaker of the United States House of Representatives over James K. Polk, and his friends claimed that he was a better Jackson man. Mir. Benton stood by the Old Chieitaln and manfuly fought for his policy against the plans of the whig party ln the Senate, endearing himself to the democracy of that day by his vigorous advoca- cy of the principles of the party.
 Gen. Houston always claimed to be the pe- culiar champion of Gen. Jackson, and the de- mocracy of Texas made him their first Seua- tor in Congress. But in an evil Sour, each of these able men, who became men of mark by associatng themselves with the democracy, fell from their high estate listened to the seductive whsperings of ambition, and joined the oppo- sition. Where are they now? The first of them who fell has been the last to receive the emphatic condemnation of his constituents and has at last been expelled from the Senate by deliberate vote of the people whom he has re-
 
 nessee from the councils of the confederacv, and now takes his place by the side of Benton and HouSton-the victim of a miss guided am- 6lton.
 It is true that he has short probation of two more sessions in the Senate to finish his course. But of what value or honor will this be to him when he is conscious that a majority of the State which he represents has pronounced verdict of condemnation upon his acts and has apponted d successor to await his retire. ment? He now holds seat in the Senate en- tlrely pro to'naO. He only represents his State by the forms of the constitution, and not by the wish of those who first elected him-the majority fthe people. How humiHaling must such a position be to man of intellect and one who has been honored and trusted in the past. Benton and Houston are happier in the convection that their race is already run, than Mir. Bell can be in thus wearing the lnockery ot official station, without any of the honor and true dignity which it ought to bring to it's lncumbent He is now emphatcally the Sen ator from Tennessee, not Tennessee's Senator -MemPhis A1ped.

Wine at two Millions a Bottle

We had almost believed that the types had annexed a few struggling ciphers to the above figures, but on persulng the entire article which we find Ill late number of the Courier des Etas Unls, under the above capton we find t Is " a fixed fact" that there Is such costly bev- craze in the world as wine at S2,OO0,OOO a bot tie, and, what Is better that there Is more of the same sort left" The said article discours
 eth somewhat in this wise: Among the rare luXures of rich Germany which graceI the table of the King of Wurtemburg on the occa- sion of the meeting of his two imperial guests
 one might see figuring conSpicuouSly the cele-
 brated wine of Rosenwein, of which the free city of Bremen Is so justly proud. The burgo- masters alone of this city are privileged to ap- propriate few bottles for private use, or to pre-. sent sovereign or relgnlnS prince. The his- tory ot this wine, which Is worth to-day H. OOO,OOO irancs-there Is no typographical mis- take here-possesses all the marvell lousness of legend and is briefly as follows: The cellar of Bremen Is the ancient of all the cellars In Germany. It Is situated under the Hotel de Vile. Ohe of its apartments, called the rose
 from bas-relief Tn bronze representing roses, and serving the double purpose of an ornament and guide, contains the famous wine of Rosen- vein, depostel there nearly two centuries and H'i'' III Ao-f tHele were pldCeu III C0lS eel Ter six large cases of Rhenish wine, called Johannisberger, (Schoss J Johannisberg, the an- cent abbey now belonging to the family of Metternich,) and the same number of cases named Hoche:mer. The adjoining part of the cellar also store wines of the same description, no less costly, although not so old by few years. They were contained in twelve large cases, each one of which bore the name of one of the twelve Apostles; and the wine of Judas, despite the reproduction attached to it's name. is to this day more highly esteemed than all the others. In other parts of the cellar are to be found different wines of later years. When ever bottle of the Rosenwein is taken out. ii is replaced by the wine of the twelve Apostles the latter by younger wine, and so on with the others; 50 that, unlike the vessel of the Danaides, the sacred cases are never empty
 Now for the price: One large case of the wine, containing oxhoft of 2O4 bottles, cost 500 rix dollars in 1924. Including the expen- ses of keeping up the cellar, and of the con- trbdtions, interest of the amounts, and inter-
 ests upon interests, an oxhoft costs at the pres- ent time 555, ,657 $40 rx dollars, and eonse- quently bottle worth 2,723,812 rix dollars; glass, or the eighth part of bottle, is worth 34O,4I6 rix dollars--(about 1861, ,9O4 francs. or Szl2 230O; or at the rate of $40 rix dollars. or 1,362 francs, or S272 per drop) A bureo- master Of Bremen is privileged to have one bottle whenever he entertains distinguished

Important to the Public.

ENTRIES OF LAND UNDER THE GRADUATION LAw.-1 have been asked by number of per sons, who had entered lands last fall, under the graduation law, whether they were required to make further proof of their settlement or not; my answer to an act Congress passed on the Sd day of March 1857 that I did not think it nec- essary; that according to my construction of that law, all entries made under the graduation law previous to the 3d day of March last was confirmed, except where there was conflicting claims. Such, for instance, as entries on the railroad section since the railroad donaton which was passed on the 9th day of February 1853, and also some other conflicting claims But to be sure that l was right, wrote to the Register, the enquiries that had been made of me, together with my answers, and requested him to inform me in the premises; which he answered, and for the satisfaction of all those wbe entered land under said law, 1 have the Registers letter published below.
