The Seminole War.

just hirty gears ago, company of
mounted volunteers numbering, about
elghty:fve or ninety men left this
town Tor the swamps of Florida the
scenes that occurred on that day, al.
though a generation has passed away,
are no donbt remembered by some of
our older citizens, who are yet amongst
US twas one Of excitement .and inter.
est, ofjoy and sadness waving OF hats
and handkerchefs; booming Of cannon !;
neighing of war steeds, and dconfusion
generally. How many incidents worthy
OF note haye occurred since that day 4?
How many survive Of the original mum.
Der, and how many have gone to their
final home ? Some have since fallen
like gallant soldiers in the Mexican
War. and many have married, and been
represented by their own sons in the
late Confederate struggle. These are
serious matters for reflective minds, and
still there is one more question Of vast
Importance, which may be asked with
great propriety. How many of those
who were alive and assembled together
on that memorable day, thirty years
since. who having profted by the expe
rience Of the past are now "buokling on
their armour" preparing to engage in
the great and final struggle, in which
here is no. discharge, but in which there
may be found. Kan honorable surrender ?

lion of the race. Such an exhibition OF
puritapieal hypocrisy never degraded
the Anglo.Saxon race. 1t is not that
they love the negro, but that they hate
the Sduth, and with cruen hatred.
But thank, God as the friend of the ne.

emancipation, yet our kindness has been
attributed to, sefsinterest alone. but
amidst it all, the Southern patriot will
remain quiet and ever indifferent to the
disgraceful spectacle that is now beng
enacted in the national Congress, while
the Mo- thern Radical, and Black Repub.
