During our stay in Marietta we stopped at
the Donegal House, kept by Lewis Houseal.
This hotel is large, commodious and we'll fur

fort pervades the house, that is really refresh
ing, and we have no hesitation in saying that
it is one of the best hotels we know of in any
country town.
We formed the acquaintance of Baker, the
editor of the Mariettian. Fred is a clever, a.
greeable fellow, and as he has lately formed a
matrimonial alliance, we hope there may be
many more Bakers, who may neither be ''for-
saken, nor their seed begging bread.''

FLORIDA IyDIANs.-We learn from the ef-
ficient and energetic agent of the Creek Indi-
ans, Colonel William H. Garrett, who passed
through our city on Saturday last, that Billy
Bowlegs and his warriors, about fifty or sixty
in number, have all agreed TO remove, and
that Sam Jones and his party, only some iorty
in number being the remainder of the tribe,
in all probability consent to emigrate also.
This will put a terminus to the ssFlorida War.
not quite as important, but almost as long
as the Peloponesian of olden times. The
price agreed upon is some $1,000 to the chiefs,
$500 to the warriors each, and $3.50 for the
squaws-less than the amount offered for their
capture by the Government. This method is
much more humane and far more expeditions
than urging a petty war upon handful OF
savages at double the expense and OF intermi-
nable duration. For a year or more, the
Government had been offered $500 for the
capture of each warrior, and 1920 for each
squaw, and up to the present time but one had
been taken. The negotiation for the emigra-
ton was conducted by Col. Garrett in person,
and great credit is due him fer the ability and
Judgment displayed in this delicate business.

DoN'T LIKE IT.-Some of the Democratic
papers do not relish the expression which Mr..
Cassiday made in the State Convention, as
authorized by Judge Porter, viz ssThat he
would stand upon any platform which the Con-
vention would choose to place him upon.''
Witness the following which we clip from two
of our exchanges =
Mr.. Cassiday, of Philadelphia, delegate in
the convention, and the close personal and pol
itical friend of the Judge, proclaimed in that
body, before resolutions had been adopted or
the nominations made, that Judge W. A Por-
ter would stand upon any platform the conven-
tion should see proper to avow.-West Chester
Jefersonian.
And in doing so Mr.. Cassiday made an ass
of himself, and attempted to make Wm A.
Porter appear utterly unprincIpled. We feel
satisfied that Mr.. Porter never authorized Cas-
siday or any body else to use the above un-
pIincipled language. If we thought he did
the name of Porter should not remain at the
head of our columns an hour.-Cdrlisle Vol

A recent debate in the British House of
Commons contains some interesting informa-
tion in relation to the production Of tea in the
British Indian Province of Assam. The tea
plants were procured from China, several ex-
peditons having been sent thither, under the
charge of Mr.. Footman, for that purpose
The colonists who choose to engage in this
cultivation have all their land free from rent
for three years. At the end of the three years
this freedom from rent still continues as to a
fourth part of the land, the other three-fourths
paying aren't OF about five cents an acre, rals-
ed the next year to about fifty cents an acre,
beyond which it cannot be increased. This
rent is paid to the Government, being In sub
stance land tax. The quantity OF tea pro-
duced in Assam in 1S54-55 was about $4,000
pounds. 1t rose in 1856 to about $50, 600
pounds, and was estimated for the next year at
700 600 pounds. It was stated that this Assam
tca bears the highest price Of any tea impor-
ted into England. 1t is not, however, used by
itself; but, being of an extremely high flavor,
is employed to give strength and flavor to
weaker teas.

ROBERT J. GRIFFIN who was arrested at
Paris, KY, few days ago, and confined in
the Bourbon county Jail, to await trial on charge
of having been engaged in setting fire to barns
in that vicinity, was taken ont OF Jail at o.
clock Monday morning by mob and hung By
the neck until he WAS dead. One end OF the
rope with which the unhappy man was muir
dercd was fastened to a cross-tic in the lofty
trestle work of the railroad bridge, which
crosses the creek on the northeast side OF
Paris, and he was dropped through. The
body hung there until after daylight before il
was cut down, ,and the CHASTITY spectacle was wit
messed by many unused 10 scenes of horror.
The mother and brother of the deceased, who
are quite respectable people, reside in Paris.

A short time ago, says an exchange, an old
man named S. died in Crawford county, Ohio,
leaving a wife and children. BY his will his
estate was divided equally between the chill
dren. The division displeased the eldest son,
who refused TO take his share of the estate,
asserting that he was not the son of the deceas-
ed S. nor of the window. He claims that at
the age of seven he was adopted by the de-
ceased in Pennsylvania, and has lived with
him ever since. The widow protested that he
is her son, and several other women in the
neighborhood, who came from the same place
in Pennsylvania, testify TO being present on
the occasion of his birth. At first the heirs
were willing to believe him, as it-would lessen
the number of heirs. The young man one
day presented bill of services from the age
of thirteen, the amount OF which would swai,
low up the whole estate. They then were
perfectly willing to acknowledge him as a
brother. a suit on the claim has been com,
menced.

CLEARFIELD, PA, APRIL I, 1858.

IEcosproy IN CoNcREss.-Last Thursday,
the lst of April, the bill for the admission OF
Kansas under the Lecomp.on Constitution was
called up and disposed of in the House OF
Representatives, at Washington. After the
first reading of the bill, Mr.. Giddings, oil u
hio, objected to a second reading, ana, under
the rule, the question REQUIRED, Shaii the oiii
be rejected? The yeas and nays were demand
ed by Mr.. Stephens, and the vote stood, yeas
90. navs 1877. The bill was then read second
time, when Mr.. Montgomery, of Pennsylvania,
offered the Crittenden substitute, and SAID he
had no remarks to make. Mr.. Quitman, (D-l
Miss, moved as a substitute, a bill offered IN
the Senate, being the same as the Senate bill,
with the clause allowing the people OF Kansas
to alter and amend the constitution at any
time. Mr.. Stephens, of Ga, refused to yield
the floor and called the yeas and nays. The
yeas and nays were then called on Mr.. Quit
mans substitute and it was defeated-yeas y,
nays 16O-and then Mr.. Montgomery'S substi-
tute for the Senate bill was carried by vote
of yeas 12O, nays 112. The bill as amended,
was then passed-yeas 40, nays ll2.
The amendment of Mr. Crittenden provides
that Kansas shall be Immediately admitted in
to the Union on an equal footing with the orr
ginal States, in all respects whatever; that
the Constitution shall be submitted to vote
OF the people, and if they adopt it, the State
is to be admitted on the proclamation of the
President. If the Constitution is rejected,
the inhabitants OF the Territory are authoriz-
ed TO form new Convention and new Con-
stitution, which shall be submitted to Con
gress in the usual manner.
The adoption of the Crittenden amendment
by the House, is brilliant victory of the anti
Lecomptonites-a defeat of pet measure O
the Administration, to carry which Mr.. Bu
chanan brought to bear all the power which
President can control.
The Senate, by vote of 80 TO 23, refused
to concur in the House amendment. Mr.. Big
ler made speech against concurring, in th'
course of which he said he sshad hoped to SEE
the fraternal sight of two States, [Minnesoti
and kansas,] one Slave and the other Free
coming into the Union together. 20

WHO IS ssJIa LANE 2''-The Washington
Union, and other so-called Democratic papers,
can scarcely find language wherewith to de-
nounce the sstraitor Jim Lane,'' of Kansas.
Occasionally we hear the question asked, who
is he 2 We will answer. slim Lane'' was
Colonel in the Mexican war, where he greatly
distinguished himself by his gallantry in sew
eral battles with the Mexicans. He was pre-
yiously Democratic Lieut.. Governor of Indiana
and Presidential Elector. Afterwards he was
chosen a Democratic member of Congress
voted for the Nebraska bill upon the ground
of popular sovereignty, and then went to Kan
sas to carry out that popular sovereignty by
making Kansas Democratic Stale.
