TROUBLES IN EASTERN Foundation
the Savannah News we extract the following
intelligence
1t is known that hostile feelings have for
some time existed and that frequent colis-
ions have taken place between parties known
as Regulators and Moderators in East Flor
ida. The feud had become so bitter and so
widely extended, that it was feared that
serious consequences might result from it.
We are gratifed to learn from the letter of
correspondent, who writes us from Choco-
chatte county, under date of Goth ult., that
treaty of peace has been concluded between
the factions. Our correspondent SAYS:
"The Regulators and Moderators of our
county have at last brought matters to,
hope, final settlement. The Moderators
having made several demonstrations in force
at our county site, and uttered great many
threats and much abuse of the opposite
party, finally challenged the Regulators to
meet them on the 18th at the county site,
and fight it out The Regulators promptly
accepted the challenge, and mustered in
force, but no Moderators appeared until late
in the evening that day, when three came
into town, evidently as spies, and armed to
the teeth. The Regulators Immediately ar
rested and disarmed them, and being deter
mined to put an end to the controversy, they
compelled the prisoners to lead them to the
rendezvous of the Moderators, who were
collected in force at place some seven miles
off. A little before night they were mar
shalled face to face, between forty and sixty
on each side, at about one hundred and fifty
yards apart, and a parley sounded. The
Regulators demanded the immediate dis
banding of the Moderators and pledge of
future behavior on their part, or an immedi-
ate appeal to arms. The Moderators acce-
ded to the first proposition, and thus our
community was saved from the disgrace and
horrors of pitched battle between fellow
citizens, neighbors and relatives"

LITTLE FEMALE CATER BOOTS

LITTLE FEMALE CATER BOOTS.
little love strs up my heart as tides stir up the
ocean,
A snOw-white muslin, when it flies, wakes many 8
curious notion;
All sorts of lady fixings thrill my spirit as they'd
orter,
But little female gaiter boots are death and
nothing shorterF
And just to put you on your guard, I'll give you
short and brief,
A small hotel experience, which filled my heart
with grief
Last summer at the Clarendon, stopped week
or more,
And marked "two booties" every morn, before
my neighbor's door
Two boots with patent leather tips--two boots
which seemed to say
can angel trots around in us"-they 8 tole my
heart away.
l saw the servant take them off with those Of
common brutes,
His soul was on the sixpence, but mine was in the
boots,
And often in my nightly dreams they swept before
my face
A lady growing out of them, as flowers grow
from vase.
But ali one morn I saw sight which struck me
like stone,
Some other name was on the books-tbose boots
were not alone
great tall pair of other boots were standing by
their side,
And off they walked that afternoon, and with
them walked bride;
Enough, enough-my song is sung-lOves tree
bears bitter fruits;
Beware Of beauty, friend of mine; but oh be
ware of boots
Let not hoops and high-heeled boots spell Of
love throw Ger you,
Lest, like my love. you may mistake, and theil
husband stand before you.

doubt it for the very good reason that it
