The INDIAN WAR IN FLoRIDA-We have
further accounts from the seat of war in
Florida. 1t will be remembered the last
advices announced the chasing of three In
dams into the great cypress swamp and the
capture Of an Indian pony. We learn now
from the Peninsular that three volunteer
companies. under the command of Capt.
Sparkman, in securing the swamp, discov er.
ed and captured three Indians-perhaps
the same mentioned above-a warrior
squaw and child. This statement is corrobo.
rated by letter to the Home Campanion
which says:
I'VE learn that the warrior referred to
above has informed the volunteers of the
whereabouts OF Sam Jones and Billy Bow
legs, and Says the latter is almost ready to
surrender. He would treat if he could see
white flag. Sam Jones and others will
die before they will consent to leave the
country; but the remainder, being greatly
distr essed for want of provisions which have
been destroyed, are willing to give up and
60 where they can enjoy peace again.
| We gather from this that the hostile force
amounts to about ten Warriors. only six Of
whom are inclined to fight it out. As this
will hardly be match for the brave Flori.
da volunteers. we may consider the Florida
war at an end,-Pins6urgh Journal.

A general revival Of trade and bust
nss , expected on the complete open
ing Of navigation on the lakes, and, We
think not without reason.
The reaction has already common
ced At the East the Banks have .
plethora Of specie-and business and
speculation Of every kind is rapidly re-
suming its rigor.
We cannot, of course, expect sea-
con 20 prosperous - some which have
proceeded it. but we may confidently
anticipate an Unreasonable improve
ment on the present state OF affairs.
The capital concentrated in the city
of New York must find its Investments.
The present wild speculation in stocks
cannot continue, and does not require
the use Of the large amount Of capital
now in the City and there is no other
business in which it can be, to any ex-
tent probably employed, at present.
No portion Of the country presents
so great inducements, to capitalists, as
the West. In moo Their portion Of the
country will money command SO high
rates Of interest or will investments
in lands or in the stock Of works Of
public improvement, result SO profit
ably.
These advantages will not be over
looked by the far sighted capitalists OF
New York and of the East. Capital
will always be employed where the
largest returns will be produced: and
in the course of few months, when
confidence is somewhat restored, large
sums of money will flow into our state;
for investment in lands, to organize
Banks, and for the completion of our
works Of public improvement.

FAcrs WILL TELL.-Parrott, at the October
election, received the highest vote on he
Free State ticket in this country, and that
was 5l5. At the election on Monday week
the average Free State vote for delegates
to the convention was $50. And yet on the
Lecompton Constitution, that same party
gave at this place 1884 votes, and for State
officers and members of the State Legisla.
ture about 200 votes. They can only give
ut other elections ais votes, and $50 votes,
and yet they say they gave 1854 legal
votes on the 4th Of January Everybody
knows, who will look at the above figures,
that is not 80. There are not that many le-
gal votes here all parties, much less Of the
Free State party. And yet they talk lust
ly about fraud. Let those who talk most
about frauds clear their own skirts-thor-
oughly clense their own garne~, and then
they can with more priety talk about frauds
Let thorough and complete investigation
be made, and we will warrant the frauds
will not be all one side.-Learenworth Her.

True EloQueuenee.

Mr.. Choate has recently delivered an
Grafton in Boston, on Jefferson, Hamil-
ton and Burr, which has attracted
great attention. OF Mr.. Jefferson he
said "The great and learned man
had some speciality by which he NOV
ed the people, yet were they all center
ed in one single clarion cry, which ami
mated the age Of the declaration Of In
depcndence-by which the whole RI
sing people spoke out their full hearts,
their long yearnings to be free. The
specialities Of eloquence and wisdom,
Of James Otis, John Adams, Hawley,
Patrick Henry, Samuel Adams and
Washington, were all embodied in that
declaration. Yet we cannot critizise
it. Understand it. interpret, love it
but critizise it, We cannot. | hold it
for expression, almost unrivaled BY the
productions of uninsp:red men. 1would
not add to it if | could, or take from it,
ny single word. would not pitch
1t on tune higher or tune lower
would not alter it, If l might, in argyll
ment, cxpostnlation, eplthet. On the
morning of every Fourth Of July, it
should be read and mediated anew as
the wisest expression of our wisest
men, speaking for Congress, speaking
for man, speaking for America in hcl
sublimest moment"
The eloquent orator thus concludes
Where now would these three mer
stand in these crises, which are thought
to have come upon us, if they descend
from their homes of light and calm anC
love! That farewell address Of Wash
ington-how would it appear il its ex
postulations were made to-day.
"Their counsel would be The
Union-it must be and it shall be pre-
served, just as we left it to you. Tt
them these strifes of party, these de-
bates about Lecompton and Topeka
this array Of South against North, and
East against West this fanaticism fol
freedom, and this fanaticism agains,
freedom, seem now as the shadow tina,
passes, as the ripple upon depths un.
sounded and sunless, as the small dis
turbance and perturbation that canno,
change the course or hasten the doom
ofstars. They, all three ofthem, stand
together, and rejoice to see our true
civivilization, our better liberty, oul
people, boundless as the waves, one as
the sea, one sun, rising, yet going forth
as bridegroom from his chamber, as
strong man beginning only to run his
race"

MORE ABOUT THE GoLD IN IowA.-There is
no doubt about gold having been found in
Iowa. Here is another item of evidence
The Winterset Naidisonidn of the 10th inst
says:
1t is startling but pleasing fact that
gold is being discovered all around U.S.
Gold has been found in small quantities
near st. Charles, in this county; several re-
turned Californians are their digging, and
say they will make it pay first rate. Gold
has also been discovered in Adair county.
Mr.. Sommer, silversmith. of this place
has, in his possession some small particles OF
gold, dug in Clark county, which is of fine
quality. The sand on the streams where
the gold is found, is the same kind as that
in which the gold is found in California.

CIV. JIM LANE.-Gen. Jim Lane, the no.

defiant reply to Gov. Denver, abusing him
shamefully. Lane seems anxious to have

and from present appearances, he will pro-
badly be gratified. Wa should like very
much to see quiet in that distracted Terri
tory, but this can never be. 60 long o. such
