A correspondent of the Charleston Courier
writing from Key West, on the 10th ultimo,
says, colonel Rector, the Indian agent, has
succeeded in inducing the greater portion of
the Semnoles to assemble at fort Nj yers, and
be ready to embark in the Magnolia, the 18th
OF this month, for New Orleans. His clerk,
Mr.. Johnson, was at Tampa, and engaged the
steamer to touch at Point Arkansas on her re-
turn, and there take on board this Arkansas
band of friendly Indians, numbering twenty,
and all the Seminoles who might be collected
at the rendezvous, whose numbers it was said
would amount to about sixty-men, women
and children.
It raiped during the greater part of Monday.

RATHER TOO FAsT.-For some weeks the pa
Pers of Georgia have been parading before the
public Col. Bond, of that State, CLAIMING him
to be the largest producer of cotton, owing to the
fact that this year he sent 2IOO bales to mar
ket The colonel is undoubtedly entitled to
superiorrank among the cotton growers of Geor-
gla; but must knock under to those of Louis-
lana. The Natchez Free Trader states that:
" There are half dozen planters in Concor
dia parish, Louisiana, as also many mere in
Mississippi that make far higher mark than
this, (2I00 bales) Not to make tbipo in
vidious, the names of A.V. Davis, esq. of Con
cordla parish, who makes all his cotton there
chalks up several hundred bales above the Geor.
ga planter; SO does /. R. Marshall, raising in
LOUISIANA alone, more than three thousand five
hundred bales per annum; SO is John Routh.
OF Hard Times, La, full as much if not more.
so did Frederick Stanton, but a few DAYS de-
ceased, raise twentyeight hundred bales the
present year--all in Concordia parish-and
even more than this figure in 1855. All these
are IN Louisiana; and there are numerous 9TH
ers that come up, or nearly so, to the GEORGIA
highest knot. For instance, Col Marshall. of
Natchez, planter in three States, Louisiana
and Arkansas, is more Man four
thousand bale producers so is DR.. Stephen Dun
can more than three thousand bale grower in
the State Of Mississippi besides being an opu
lent planter of Louisiana-moreh than four utoa-
sand bales in all. The great estates OF the two

Davis and Francis Surget, always produced

ScRAPE AT JACKSON CoLLEGE.-A rather Sc
rlous affair occurred among the faculty and
students Of the Centenary college, jackson,
Louisiana, few days ago, which is to be re-
GREETED. One Of the professors of the college,
Mr. Wiley, having married Mrs Magruder,
whose residence is not far from the classic
halls OF Centenary, the students resolved to
charlvarl the happy couple. A knowledge of
their intentions having been obtained by the
professor, the young gentlemen were caution
ed against carrying out their designs, as they
We're told it would not be tolerated Reject
ing the counsel of the professor, party OF stu
dents made their appearance in front of the res
idence OF the bride, when the discordant music
OF TN kettles and cow-horns aroused the in
mates, who fired a few blank cartridges upon
the musicians, IN order to brighten them away.
The students returned to the college, armed
themselves with pistols, retraced their steps
and fired several times at the house with balls
The inmates returned the compliment with
small shot, wounding several of the students
IN the face. None OF the wounded are consid-
cred at all very dangerous

The Richmond Enquirer, the venerable ex-
ponent of Virginia democracy and distractions
and the private organ of governor Wise, de-
clares that president Buchanan's doctrine con-
corning internal improvement, as illustrated by
his position regarding the Pacific railroad, lis
utterly incompatible with the doctrines of the
democratic party: it is federalism; federalism,
compared with which the milder form of polit
ical error prevalent among partisans of the old
federal party, stands only in the ratio of vine
gar 70 nitric acid" Two years ago, this very
same Richmond Enquirer swore just as roundIy
and vehemently that Mr.. Buchanan was liv-
ing and perfect embodiment of unaduIterated
democracy. Which story are we now to re-
ceive as true?

Washington correspondents report that the
leading filibusters are about converting their
blood thirsty swords into peaceful pruning
hooks, and organising an expedition to Arizona,
where it is authoritatively asserted gold and
silver occur in inexhaustible quantities, under
soil Of unsurpassed richness. Nearly all the
leading spirits Of the former Cuban and Mica
ragua expeditions, from Henningsen down to
the Susan's crew, are to join the exodus. On
the frontier the fibusters will be free of COM
modores of the home squadron, revenue cutters
and British cruisers

These polls were held or Eastern avenue at Dallas
street. fence was erected few feet from the
window and voters walked in at one end, voted and
passed cut at the other. But little disturbance oc-
Cured at these polls owing in great measure to
the fact that the Reform men made themselves very
scarce. The German vote of this ward was poled
for the American ticket almost exclusively In the
morning Mr.. Charles Hergenshemer an aged and
respected citizen, pushed from the polls A
policeman afterwards offered to escort him up and
see that he got in his vote, but Mr. H. refused say
ing that he could stand the Dutfeting In the
afternoon there was hut little excitement and near
ly all the votes east were for the American cand-
date. Frank Connolly alias "Cuttng Tobe" was

The CALIFORNIA STEAMERs.-MR. GARRISON SELLS
OUT HIS lNTEREsr.-The New York Times saws:
"The onehalf interest in the steamers Cortes, Uncle
Sam, Sierra Nevada, and Orizqba, owned by Mr..
c. X. Garrison, has been disposed of by him to
Commodore Vanderbilt for $3.50 900 This change
has been brought about by the recent consolidation
effected between Messrs. Vanderbilt and Roberts.
Strong pressure brought to bear upon Mr..
Garrison to induce him to merge his interest with
that Of these parties; but positive refusal to DO so
determined Mr.. Vanderbilt to buy him out, rather
than to dispose of portion of the stock in the new
company to Mr. Garrison, who offered to purchase
The ships of the old United States Mail Line are
now held in trust. When the time comes for them
to be disposed of, it is rumored that Mr. Roberts
will purchase them and add them to those owned
by Mr.. Vanderbilt. A feet of seventeen steamships
will thus be formed, and the company will thus
be enabled to run weekly line to California. 1t is
understood that the Nicaragua route is to be re-
opened, and the mail carried that way. This will
add S31, 500 to the present contract. Mr.. Wander
bilt takes immediate control of the ships and an
agent goes by the next steamer to superntend the
business on the other side. Mr.. Garrison was
strongly solicited to assume that position, but de-
clined to do so upon any terms-preferring to re-
main in New York, where he intends to establish
himself in his original business-that of banking"

MOVEMENTs OF OCEAN STEAMERS
THE ONnERnONK CASE

The delegates of st. Georges church, Flushing,
Long Island, who voted against the restoration of
Bishop Onderdonk, have made a report on the sub
ject to the congregation. 1t will be recollected
that Mrs. Beare Of the witnesses against Onder-
donk, was the wife of the Rector of this parish.
The delegates say they unable to vote for
the resolution because the Bishop had given no
evidence OF pentence, but denied the truthfuness
of the witnesses. On the contrary, they say, he
suffered his friends to charge them with falsehood,
and by the cruel and malicious treatment they re-
ceived, two of them have been totally crushed-One
to an untimely grave and one to mac-house. Can
he call them back to their wonted health? Can
the House of Bishops restore them =? They were
left by their ungenerOus sisters in the hour of trial.
and many an ungenerous sister since has failed to
do them justice. We all know the husband of one
of these ladies, a most pure and upright man. who
has suffered pain and modification of different
kind, to be sure, but perhaps not less in degree
than has fallen upon the suspended Bishop. But
he has bowed himself to the agony an innocent
man; and he knows the innocency and truthfulness
of her he has laid in the grave. We are speaking
nothing but plain facts. This reverend gentleman
is to be left to suffer and to be taunted with the
crimes of another, while the suspended Bishops
pride is to be gratifed for that is all he asks at
the expense OF sacred feeling and just right.
On the subject of the restoration, the New York
Times says: We are authorized to state that memo
rias to the House OF Bishops are being signed by
the laity of both parties in the Episcopal Church;
that waving all other questions connected with the
suspension and restoration of Bishop BENJAMIN T.
0nderdonk, the member of the Protestant Epsco-
pal Church in the diocese of New York deeply feel
That the position of the suspended bishop is such in
this community, and that his persistence for so many
years in denying the justice of his sentence has SO
| shaken the confidence of many members of the
Church that, under circumstances, can he resume
any jurisdiction in this diocese, the exercise Of
any Episcopal functions, to the harmony and edit
| cation of the Church the glory of Christ, but
that, on the contrary, such resumption would lead
to great and manifold evils, not confined to thi,
| diocese, but extending to the whole Church.
| They therefore pray the House of Bishops that
| the sentence of suspension be not removed unit
Bishop Onderdonk shall have resigned his jurisdic
| tion of the diocese of New York.
( The steamer Vanderbilt of the Stonington line
| got ashore at He'll Gate Monday evening. bu
| got off at high water. She sustained damage tf
the extent of $4,000. Her passengers were safely
