Indian Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there is
singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority. They say
that when the Great Spirit made the
earth he also made three men, all of
whom were fair complexioned, and after
making them he led them to the margin
of small lake, and babe them leap in
and wash. One obeyed, and came out
of the water purer and fairer than be-
fore; the second hesitated a moment,
during which time the water, agitated
by the first, had become muddled, and
when he bathed he came out copper
colorod the third did not leap till the
water became black with mud, and he
came out its own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three pack
ages, and out Of pity for his misfortune
in color, gave the black man his choice.
lie took hold Of each of the packages,
and having felt the weight, chose the
heaviest; the unprecedented then chose
the next heaviest, leaving the white
man the lightest. When the packages
were opened, the first was found to con.
tain spades, hoes and all the implements
of labor the second enwrapped hunting,
fishing and war-like apparatus the third
gave the while man pens, ink and paper
the engines of mind, the means of
mutual improvement, the social link of
humanity, the foundation of the white
mans superiority.

The Soldiers Mania for Coffee.

Coffee is the soldiers luxury, de-
prived Of which he imagines himself the
worstused individual that he is capable
of conceiving. On march, for con
venieuce sake, the coffee and sugar are
mixed together. Every man carries his
tin-cup or can for making his coffee, and
he would as soon think of leaving his
musket as the cup wherein 10 make his
coffee. The new regiments come out
very well supplied with cups, but the
old soldier disdains buying cup and
manufactures much better one for him
self. Taking one of the cans in which
fruits and vegetables are preserved land
which every sutler has a. full assortmen
of he Gus the top entirely out, and
wi h piece of wire cut from some
abandoned or destroyed telegraph line,
he makes of i q handle { echnically IA
'bail'') and his coffee pail is complete.
The moment a halt is made, the soldier
commences making his coffee. Some
wa err from his can cen OR neighboring
brook or spring is soon boiling brislly
over little fire of glowing embers. -
Upon this boiling water he pours his
coffee and sugar, and the time the coffee
has settled to the bottom and the sugar
is dissolved, the beverage is ready for
use. Coffee drinking is a passion with
soldiers which amounts to mania. A
five minutes halt on march, and a
soldier must have his coffee. IF he
struggles behind and escapes the pro-
vost guard, he sits down and contented-
ly makes his coffee. If he strays off the
road to some of the hospitable man
sions " (D' by the road side, his first re-
quest is to be allowed to make a lit lie
coffee in the Fireplace and on haling
for the night, no matter how tired he
may be, he cannot by any possibility
spread his blanket until he has enjoyed
his cup of hot coffee. The immoderate
use of coffee is productive of much of
he dlarrh@a of the camp: but, taken
in reasonable quantities, such an effect
would rarely be produced Attempts
have been made to substitute tea for
coffee, but with no success. Soldiers
think more of their coffee than all the
rest of their rations. They do not like
tea and though, when issued in lieu Of
coffee, they will use It, yet they gru,a-
BILE not a little at the substitu ion.

8 inches Of it will be laid with the grain
at right angles with the ships length,
and the addi ional 3 inches will consist
of planking. The turrets Monitor plan)
are also undergoing change, so We are
informed and it is thought that these
improvements will add materially to the
effectiveness of the ship. No through
bolts will be used in fastening on the
wooden facng of the Onondaga, but the
armor will be suspended, as it were,
from the deck. This plan has also been
recommended for the turrets OF the Mon
itor batteries.
1t is also said that partial revolu-
ton has been effected in the Ordnance
Bureau of the Navy Department, in con-
sequence of the attack on Charleston,
and new instructions have been issued
respecting the armament of the IRON
clads, not only of those at Port Royal
but of those now building, and also re-
spectlng naval ordnance generally
" The Dahlgren gnns are to be removed
and an entirely new style of 13.luch
gun, using seventyfve pounds of pow
der at load, is to be substituted this
is to be done before the attack on
Charles on is renewed. Fort Sumter
may be cffectually bombarded at much
greater dis ance by the new guns than
by those of the Dahlgrcn pattern. The
new guns are now in process of con-
struction, but it is believed several
weeks will elapse before they can be put
into a sufficient number of Monitors to
permit renewal of the attack on
Charlestan"
We do not give these la ter items
credit; the mountaineering the
changes in the cons ruction of the iron
clads--we know to be correct. 1t is at
all events an encouraging sign to see the
Government at last waking up and TAX
ing sep in the right direction.

While restraining his views as to the expedency

generally manifested in the early stages OF the
Rebellion. 1a
