learn that the commencement of the following
week will be signalized by few brilliant par
| Tics TO be given hy lady friends. The projected
renadcs we have heard of are secrets we have
been enjoined not TO tell Ef...
We ike this old fashioned, hearty, joyous
mode of celebration, which makes such formid-
able war on "dull care" and melancholy, be-
cause it marks the hapPest of life with the
highest enjoyment. and makes for the anxious
editor an interesting local item; and II we could,
we would utterly explode the fashionable and
to us ridiculous custom of rOusing up sleepy,
shivering party before daylight, to perform n
hasty ceremony at the gray dawn, and swallow
a dyspeptic breakfast, in order to drive outs
nervous frightened girl by the early train away
from fathers house, as II parents were glad to
be rid of her, or the whole affair was one that
all parties were ashamed OF, and could not des-
| patch too soon before their neighbors were

The bridal gifts, contributed by the many
friends of the happy couple, are said to be very
rich and beautiful.
billy BowIEGs IN New ORLEANs.-The New
Orleans Delta has an amusing account Of the
proceedings of Billy BOwlcgs in New Orleans
1t saws quo 10 .1lt'I-4 a5aaf'I5 o. aa l.l
We called down at the Barracks yesterday to
nav our respects to the "ex-King Of the Flori-.
las, but found his Exceency drunk, fast asleep,
with no one but his young wife by his side, with
their youngest born in her arms. We were not
surprised to Sec Billy thus. Knowing as we did
his weakness for "tire-water." We have had the
distinguished honor Of meeting the General on
several previous occasions, and the condition we
found him in yesterday was by no means nov
| cI one. ~
The fact is there has been no greater drunk
ard among the Seminoles, since their separation
from the TalahnsSe tribe, than this same cum
ming chieftain. BOwlcgs, though apparently to-
tally Unconscious of what is going on around,
when inebriated can never be surprised or made
to answer questions which he would not do
when perfectly sober.
The souws were having gay time of 1t among
themselves, aud from appearances, must have
indul.cd pretty freely. They presented Iudi-
c.ous sight, Staggering round with their PaPoos-
eS swung on their backs, chanting snatches Of
Seminole war songs. We chatted for while
with the interpreter, WuO was uOC
straight, but managed to give us the informa-
ton wished. Tie emigration TO the West, OF
Bowlegs and his followers, may virtually be eon-
sidered as the end Of the Florida war, although
.'Satn Jones, +" the veteran chief with about
twenty faithful warriors, stil remains and relus
es to leave OH any terms Sam Jones is said to
be IO7 years old, and in his dOtage. He has
lost the use of his legs, but is still powerful in
the arms, and is obliged to hop about on long
pole such as used by boys in leaping, Only
one of the Arkansas delegation was permitted TO
see him, and he only, because he was once mem
Let of his council. We believe that Captain Ca
sew. u S. A., nov deceased, was the only white
man who ever saw him.
We learn that the Indians do not leave until
"Wednesday, during which time Billy will show
himself upon many of our principle streets ac-
companied by his best looking wife, and will be
prepared to give his autograph to those who
may make presents to her. We warn our read
ers-for Billy, besides being the greatest drunk
ard, is the greatest-beggar alive. He converses
fluently, both in Spanish and English. 1I
On Wednesday he went up to the city, pro
ceeded to the City Hotel, and after having reg
istercrl his name, repaired to the ParlOr and
amused the ladies' cOngregated there by good
naturedly answering the many questions put to
him. The ladies were of course, astonished TO
find him SO we'll posted, instead of the wild saw
.o,e +te,, had taken him for, They plagued him
