Latest Indian News from FLORIDA.
From the Tampa Peninsular Of the 10th instan
we extract the following Intelligence

From the Tampa Peninsular Of the 10th instant
we extract the following intelligence:
Adviees from Capt. McNeill, who is in charge of
party of men endeavoring to open communication
with small party of Indians at or near the head
waters of the Kissime, are truly hattering.
Capt McNeill reports that he has found their fields
and doubtless is now at them, where he will remain
until something definite is done. They have asnper
abundance Of corn, potatoes, melons, beans, peas,
etc. but he will not suffer his command TO molest any
thng. as that might destroy all hopes Of commnnica
ting with them In their camps he finds dressed deer
skins, which the captain thinks are left with the
view Of ascertaining his disposition towards them.
On one occasion he saw two warriors and beckoned
them towards him. After viewing him leisuTely for
some time, they moved slowly to a swamp near at
hand.
In each of their fields he left white flag with some
pipes and tobacco; this, with the proof of his not
disturbing any of their property will convince them
that he is their friend.
The Department and the citizens generally have
the fullest confidence in the zeal and management OF
Capt, Mcneil, and we expect in a short time to re
port asuccessul negotiation, in view of their reova
from the State.

INDIAN wHIsKY-A citizen Of st. Panl furnishes
some pretty hard papers on his feIIow.sinners who
trade with the Northwestern Indians. He says a
barrel Of the pure CINCINNATI even after it has run
the gauntlet of railroad and lake travel is sufficient
basis upon which to manufacture one hundred barrels
Of good Indian lquOr.n He says small bueketfnl
of the Cincinnati article is poured into wash-tub
almost full OF rain water; large quantity Of dog
leg tobacco and red pepper is then thrown into the
tub bitter species OF root, common " in the land Of
the Dakotah is then cut upand added /; burnt sugar
or some such article is used to restore something like
the original color of the whisky The compound has
to be kept on hand few days before it is fit for nse
It is then administered to the aborigines Gd tbu.
He says all Indian wants is something that will
bite Z and it matters not whether it is pepper rum
or tobaceo that he will give forty acres of land for
one dose. He says Of the speculators when they
wish to drive bargain, have only to administer
this innocent preparation to the ChippeBas and Sioux
simultaneously and they will start al once for their
war-clnbs and tomahawks, and proceed to cleaye
each others brains out.

AN INTERESTING DIsCOvERY.-We see it stated,
upon what may be considered reliable authority that
thirty thousand Christians have recently been found
upon an Island north of Gelebes Il has been rumor
ed for time that there was there Christian people,
forgotten and forsaken which, however, yet possess
ed three Bibles and continued steadast in the faith
When missionaries first landed on the island, they
met with school teacher and his pupils, who repeat
ed in the Malayan tongue 't As The heart panteth
after the waterbrooks panteth my soul after Thee
O Lord
No Bibles were found, but the most precious prom.
ises of the Bible written upon the bark of trees.
They knew the Apostles Greed, and the Heidelberg
Catheohsm, and had Christian customs. Twenty
churches and schools yet existed. Through the in
strumentality pastor Hedrng, founder of the Mag
dalen Asylum at Seenbeck and chief patron of Inner
Missions in Holland four missionaries who had been
educated under the venerable Gossner were sent out
and three thousand persons baptized.
This is certainly most interesting discovery. The
island on which these Christians were found belongs
to the East Indian Archipelago The Dutch have for
years had political rule in this region This may
account for the original Introduction of Christianity
among this people, and for tha fact that the Heidel
berg Catechsm still found in their possession.
But still the particular time and circumstances in
which this Introduction took place may well challenge
special attention. and merit Investigation from those
who have the leisure and facilities for prosecuting it,

General Dixls name has been mentioned for France,

SHAMEFUL CRUELTY os BoABD UHHED STATES
vEssEL.-A correspondent Of the San Francisco
Herald furnishes an account Of the cruel treatment
and consequent death Of sailor on board the United
States ship st. Mary's, at ktare Island, On the 23d
Of May:
The seamen's name was Harry Frost, and coming
on board intoxicated, he was iFoned and gagged,
with refusal of permission to change his wet clothes
for some that were dry-he having fallen overheard
on his way to the ship. When being gagged, Corp0-
raj KehD Of the marine corps knocked him down and
kicked him several times on the neck and face Frost
continued to talk as well as the gag would permit
him, when James RUSSELL mastef-ataruls, drew the
strings Of the gag little tighter and left. Nothing
was then heard from Frost but stifed groans and IN
distinct mutterings. Russell then went to Frost
and needless Of his cries for mercy, placed his knee
on the back OF his neck drew the strings OF the gag
as taut as he could, and left him, saying, Now
hOller, d-n you.m This !" last turn was too much.
Poor Frost was heard to breathe five or six times
and the efforts to get his breath were truly painful TO
hear. The sentry on the brig became alarmed, and
calling the master-atarms and Corporal Keho, told
them that the was dying. Instead Of taking the
gag out Of his mouth at once, they went for pillow,
and after placing it under his head went for doc
tor. The doctor took the gag from his mouth but it
was too late-Frost was dead. The deceased be-
onged to Philadelphia, where he has left wife and
two children.
