Those Of the citizens who happened to be
on the streets and at the depot last Saturday
morning about the time OF the arrival OF the

four horses, and hired by certaic parties. was
iu readiness at the depot. The carriage, horses
and attendants were all heavily draped In the
sad habiiments of woe, and everything gave
evidence that the grief displayed upon tnat
occasion was genuine and sincere. Tne omnl-
bus was sent to convey to place OF safety the

feated candidates could be persuaded TO RIDE.

intercourse with the Indians will bear me out

aonls, eonsistipg OF SeminOles, Tallahassees
and Mcoosukies, who are scattered from the
bio CyDress or everglades to Halpattee town,
near the Klssimee prairie. They have three
chiefs and score OF Sub-chlels, VINO eXer-
else little or no authority, and are sometimes
deposed fer faithlessness and mlsoenarlor.
The faot is, II these chiefs have any preroSa'
tive at all, 1t 10 10 exceed their followers IN
maichless fondness for whiskey. With llt-
tie work and tolerably constant hunting, these
DOOR people provide sustenance Tor themselves
and profit for q rascally class OF white men,
known as ''traders," who rob them Without
mercy.
