End Of the seminole war.

After twenty years fighting of the Florida
Indians, and the expenditure Of great sums
Of public money, to no better purpose than
paying off political hacks for their services,
Billy Bowlegs has been conquered by "moral
suasion,' and induced to emigrate to the
West, with the remnant Of the people of the
brave and unfortunate Osceola. Bowlegs
and one hundred and sixty-6ve Seminole In
dams were, on the 18th instant, embarked
on U. s. steamer for the West. The i'm.
penetrable everglades, which for so many
years protected this band, and concealed tho
fugitives who fed from slavery to enjoy lib
crty with the savages, have been entered BY
those appliances which seldom fail to soothe
even the savage-appeals to their own self
ish interests. The bold warriors who could
neither be terrified nor beaten into submis-
sion. have been induced by fair promises to
abandon their Businesses and the graves of
their ancestors. Years ago, if reports be
true, fraud was resorted to for the same pur-
pose, and cunning men made treaties with
these Indians, by which the balance Of bene-
fit was greatly on the side of the white men,
while the Indians were left homeless and
unprotected. They revo!ted, and defied the
Government successfully until now. Years
ago, after the destruction of Browns Fort
by party of U. S. Troops, and the killing
of n number of Indians and negroes, Of both
sexes and all ages, a chief of the tribe, with
a remnant of the people and their negro al
lies, made good their retreat, under protec-
ton of the United States, into Texas. They
were there followed by rapacious slave. hun
tiers; stood their ground resolutely-the red
men never proving false to their black breth-
remand with regular military progress,
went over into Mexican Territory. There
they remain, making common cause with the
Indian tribes, and choosing to aid the Mex.
leans, rather than Americans. "Buffalo
Hunters" have organized raids into the
Mexican territory, and f!ibustcrs have re-
Gently joined their forces with those Of the
native insargent chieftains, with view to
extend the area of the domestic slave trade.
When these enterprises succeed, "Wildcat,''
'sBowlegs," and the rest, will have to pull
up their stakes once more, and Fly from the
face of the encroaching and enslaving white
man. - ....... =. =

Revolution in New Orleans.

NEW ohLAANS1 oukV "
A revolution broke out last night, and a
Vigilance Committee, in large numbers took
possession of the Arsenal in Jackson Square
andthe prisoners.
This morning the Executive committee
calls for all the law and order people to join
them, and announces their determination to
carry their measures ont. Nothing else has
transpired yet.
Loaded cannon are posted about the
Arsenal, and about 200 men are on guard.
The following appeared this morning. >.
The citizens of New Orleans, after years
of discord, outrage and uncheck ed assassina-
ton, unable and unwilling either to bow
down in uaresisting submission to a set of
ruffian., or to abandon the city in which their
business, their social sympathies and their
their might and quietly taken possession of
the Arsenal buildings, in jackson Square,
and have established the headquarters OF a
Vigilance committee, pledsing each to the
other to maintain the rights inviolable Of
every peaceable and law abiding citizen,
restore public order, abate crime, and expel
or punish as they may determine such noto-
rious rufians and assassins the arm OF the
law has, either from, the infdelity of its
public servants, or the inef6ciency Of the
laws themselves, left unwhipped of JUS
tice.
For the present the ordinary machinery Of
police justice is suspended, the Mayor and
the Recorders, we understand, yielding the
power they confess inability to exercise, for
the preservation of the public peace and the
preservation of property, and theVisilance
Committee will therefore Professionally act
in their stead, administering to each and
every malefactor the punishment due to his
crimes, without heat, prejudice or political
bias. All citizens who have sympathies with
this movement, and who think the time has
come when New Orleans shall be preserved
like all other well ordered and civilized com.
munities, will report themselves without de-
lay at the princi pal Office, where the char
acter of this movement will be explained,
and the determination Of the people more
fully made known.
All has been done noiselessly thus far,
and all will continue noiselessly, disposition
ately and justly; but the rufians who have
dyed our streets in the gore of unofending
citizens, and spread terror among the peace
able, orderly and well disposed, must leave
or perish.
Signed, yOX POPULI vOX DEL.
Seven to eight hundred men are under
arms now, { 10 O'Clock and several arrests
have been made. 1t is reported that oppo-

battle is certain. Volunteers are crowding
up.

A New Part,

The St. Louis Republican Of tho 30th
ult., contained adispatch from Washington,
stating that movement was on foot, which
promised to unite sal the opposition ele-
ments to the Administration in the name of
the Peoples Party of the Union" The pros
pective features of the new party, were them
speculated upon. This new step seems to
meet the views of the St. Joseph Journal.
1t thinks if the new party will only ignore
all questions productive of Sectional strife
it is sdecidedly in for it." Subsequently
learning that the leading Republicans in
Congress disavowed any connection with the
new organization, the Journal is in raptures.
II is "glad Of this" and hopes s'she Repub-
licans will not be conferred with as we wish
to have nothing to do with them" Now,
we would like to know how all parties OPP
posed to the Administration are going to
act in concert, If the Republican party is
left out Of the count What party has, or
il about to, coalesce with the American
party? Can the Journal inform US? Does
It expect to gain strength BY accretions from
the DoUcLAs Democratic Such m organi-
ration or cooperation Of "olp' the elements
opposed to the present Administration,
minus the Republican party, would be like

the black clouds that have been lowering over

A Slight SprinklinH.

The truth Of the adage, that "it never rains
but it pours," was never more fully proven
than on Wednesday last. For about three
hours, the rain descended in torrents-in fact,
it rained "like blazes," and We all know the
degree of intensity that expression conveys.
We do not believe that even in Noachic days,
greater amount of water fell during the
same length of time. The ''gently murmuring
Lousy" bid defiance to its banks, and rushed
around upon the bottoms regardless of all
propriety. In the short space Of fifteen
minutes, it rose Mt least Eve feet, and rushed
and roared in headlong impetuosity towards
the big Muddy. Our streets were flooded
with water during the continuance of the
storm, to an extent we never witnessed be-
fore. The waters subsidized as rapidly as
they rose. In an hour after the cessation
Of the storm, our streets were free from
water, and the "Lousy" had retired its
outside issue, and was doing q legitimate
banking business. We hope we may be
spared another visitation Of this kind this
season-we have had a quantu, su6icit Of
the aqueous fluid, for, during the past six
weeks, "the rain, it has rained every day."
However, our suferings have been light,
compared with those of other sections. The
eastern portion Of this State has been almost
nundated-lllinois and Indiana have suf-
fered immeasurably from heavy rains
indeed, an universal complaint of high
water, reaches US from every quarter. Con-
versing yesterday with some persons from
Fort Kearney, We learned, that for the past
two months has it rained almost necessarily
in that direction. The valley of the Platte is
impossible, from the heavy rains, and the
constant passage of government trains. In
fact, to the East, West, North and South Of
US, locomotion is rapidly becoming an OBJ
solete idea. All the great thoroughfares
are even now beyond the power of sound
ings, and if this a'spell Of weather. contin-
.ues, the legs of all quadrupedal animals
must be heightened, or transition cannot be
effected with any prospective safety, for 10
these many days. Not another drop Of rain,
thank you, for the next month! --we would
prefer little sunshine, than more rain.
