MALVINA BERNARD.
“ I wonder brother," said Malvi
na, a9 she was one morning tripping
along Broadway, “howthat awkward
l'ellow, Trfcmont, could have the pre
sumption to offer me marriage.”
“ Presumption ! awkward fellow!”
repeated Junius, somewhat tartly,
“ sure you do not mean to'jpply this
phraseology to the wise and virtu
ous Florio: after witnessing, as you
must have done, the expansion of so
many excellent qualities of the head
and heart, I should hope you have
too much sensibility to regard him
with indifference. * Indeed, I know
not the woman who would not be
honored by his preference.” '
“ But my dear Junius, what signi
fy sense of virtue in the judgement
of a woman of fashion, so long as
(hey arc the property of a luckless
wight, who, together with the pov
erty of his ancestors, has inherited
all those grave and sthtely manners
that graced the drawing rooms oi the
last century, and which, by a prop
er consistency, have long since dis
appearefl with the antique, furniture
that accompanied them ”
“ You reason quite like a woman
of fashion truly, but not like the dis
creet and rational girl l expected to
find you. Are you then so ignorant
of that which constitutes the true
happiness of domestic life, as to sup
pose wealth and gallantry sufficient
to produce it ! Are there no pecu
liarities of temper, no moral or intel
lectual qualities, requisite in the man
who is to supply the place of all those
dear and valuable relatives, whom you
relinquish for his salve 1 1 l';ar you
have not duly weighed the many im
portant considerations which this
new relation involves.”
“ As to that indeed, I have not
reflected at all about it. 1 know
what would please me in a husband,
and lam resolved never to accept
■one, for whom 1 do not feel an ex
clusive preference.”
“ So far you are right, Malvina :
but are you sure that your taste has
been formed on correct principles,
and that in yielding to the capricious
dictates of fancy, yoft are not prepar
ing the way for subsequent disap
pointment and regret ? A man may
possess great wealth, and be able to
vie with any of our acquaintance in
dress and equipage, while at the same
lime the petulance of his temper, or
the coldness of his heart may render
him insupportable at home, lie
may be accomplised in all the nicer
points of etiquette, may know the
names of the most celebrated authors
of ancient and modern times, and
even the title page of their work : ho
may be eminently versed in all the
common place topics of discourse,
have sonnets, epigrams, and poefical
extracts at his tongues end, and yet
be so deficient in sound understand
ing, or solid mental attainments, as
to render his own fireside exceeding
ly wearisome and disgusting. With
either oftliesc characters, could you
withall your refinement of sentiment,
your literary and Scientific acquire
ments, hope for even a moderate
share of happines ?”
“ Certainly not, brother, but to
pursue your own train of reasoning,
bow could 1, accustomed to all the
elegancies which wealth and fashion
can procure, anticipate with any de
gree of pleasure, a connection, which
must involve the privation of both ?”
“ And have you any pledge from
Providence, that by making affluence
the all-important requisite in a hus
band, you shall escape the ills of po
verty for life 1 You might, I acknow
dge, suffer some privation al first
from the wane of wealth’ by marrying
a man whose fortune depends entire
ly on himself, but if his merit be such
as to entitle him to your regard,
you will assuredly consider that of
small moment in comparison with
having secured to yourself a friend,
who is to be your stay and solace thro’
all the vicissitudes of life. Misfor
tune may deprive you of your out
ward possessions, but in the affec
tions of his heart, you will still pos
sess an unfailing treasure. The
friendships of the world seldom stand
the test of adversity, while the flame
of connubial love gains brightness
from every adverse blast.”
“ lleally, brother, you are* o,uite a
romancer. I hope you have no idea
of realizing the dreams of the golden
age in these days of reason and com
mon sense. You will not find wo
man made of such ethereal materials
as to subsist on loVe. I, at least,
require more substantial diet.”
‘ ‘ My remarks admit of no such in
ference. I certainly would not have
you marry a man, who had no pros-
P', ct of supporting you with some de
gree of ease and respectably, and
and I consider this far more like
ly to be the result of such a con
nection as I recommend, than of
one, in which wealth is the prin
cipal recommendation. They who
obtain property by inheritance, sel
dom have the ability to keep it.
Brought up in idleness and luxury,
they consume in dissipation, that
which the labor of years accumulated,
and in a very little while, are reduc
ed to the scanty pittance of a day
laborers or a serving-man. On the
other hand, he who has been accus
tomed to depend on his own person
al efforts is prepared for every reverse
of fortune. He has resources in him
self, which render him superior to
the common accidents of life, and is
far more likely to maintain in the is
sue, a genteel standing in society,
than the wealthy heir, whose energies
are paralyzed by case and indulg
ence. Painful experience, Malvina,
will I fear, one day convince you,
that there are more important requi
sites in a husband, lhan wealth and
gallantry.”
“1 already admit it, Jun.us, but
why may not I find thotn all united.
A man of tal nts will not inake the
less agreeable companion because he
is wealthy, nor an amiable temper
and virtuous principles, be less at
tractive, because embellished with
polished manners, and a taste for po
lite life.”
“ Very true, but have you yet
sou and, or do you ever expect to find,
this rare combination, with which all
your ideas of matrimonial happiness
seein to be associated ? Instances do'
unquestionable exist, but so tew and
sparingly scattered among the great
mass of mankind, that not one wo
man, in a thousand, can hope to be
the favored one in whom tlie affec
tions of such an individual are to
centre. The gifts of Providence are
iu general more equally distributed.
Something, 1 apprehend, will always
be found wanting, to complete that
perfect character, which your own
imagination has portrayed; and in
matters of such high importance, is
it not better to dispense with the ap
pendages of happines, than to reject
its constituents !”
“ I suppose then, you will regard
my rejection of Tremont, as another
proof of female weakness, and cither
doom me to fche forlorn condition ol
a spinster for life, or trace me in the
event of an unfortunate marriage, to
some of these miserable dwellings
which extravagance or bankruptcy
has tenanted.”
“ If the distinguised merits and
tender attachment of Florio, have
failed to awaken corresponding sen
timents in your breast, I give you
credit for dismissing him. He ex
pects in the woman of his choice, a
warm and feeling heart, capable of
reciprocating the purest emotions of
love and friendship And now, a? I
have had tne gallantry to see you
homo in safety, my sister will have
the goodness to excuse me for the
day.” And away hurried Junins, to
learn from Florio, the reality and
poignancy of his disappointment.
The truth was, Malvina Bernard,
with a superior intellect, a highly cul
tivated understanding, a line person,
and accomplished manners, possess
ed a cold and unfeeling heart. In
the eyes of a stranger, however, or
casual observer, she seemed all that
was desirable in woman. There was
a refinement in her conversation, and
a delacacy in her wit, which were in
variably mistaken tor indications of
lively and generous sensibility. So
powerful indeed were her attractions,
that before she had attained her
twentieth year, she could number
among her admirers persons of dis
tinction, from almost every stale in
union, and had received several of
fers of marriage, from gentlemen of
the highest rank and fortune. But

her choice. The language of k>vc
and admiration had been familiar to
her from her first entrance in the
world, and as she had no sympathy
in the passion she inspired, she found
some trivolous pretence for rejecting
the most advantageous offers. One
wanted genius, another squinted, and
was tediously verbose in his conver
sation ; and a third had a disagree
able squeaking voice, without a sin
gle chord in it, to which the heart
could vibrate. In the case of Flo
rio, she.had spared no pains to make
him sensible other charms, knowing
that bis weight of character would
give anew and imposiug dignity to
her conquests. He had m.ig been
the intimate friend and companion of
her brother, and their familiar inter
course gave him frequent access to
the family circle. If he hud admir
ed the native grace and unaffected
dignity of Malvina in public, he was
charmed with her sweetness and
suavity of manners, in the privacy of
domestic life. The eye of woman is
quick to discern the influence of her
charms on the hearts of those whom
she designs to captivate ; and Mal
vina was not slow in discovering,
that the attentions of Florio originat
ed in a deeper sentiment than l'riend
shin This discovery, however, while
it gratified her vanity, failed to in
terest her heart Studious only to
he distinguished by his preference,
she contrived to encourage his ad
dresses without giving him an oppor
tunity to make a formal declartion
of his sentiments. For weeks and
months his passion betrayed itself on
ly in the fixed and ardent gaze with
which he unconsciously regarded
her. He pursued her from circle to
circle, was scrupulously observant of
all the little gallantries due to her
sex, and declined every amusement
in which she did not participate.
Thus a twelve-month was suffered to
elapse before Florio found any con
venient season to avow his passion.
iSut the favorable moment at length
irrived, and believing that Malvina
could not be ignorant of the nature
ofthat attachment, which he had so
ibndly cherished, and which every
look and action had betrayed, lie
ventured on a full and candid dis
closure ofhis love. f Encouraged by
the smiles with which she had ap
probated his addresses, he proceed
ed to solicit her hand in marriage,
and begged permission to wait on
her parents lor their sanction. What
then were his chagrin and disappoint
ment when he found that no congenial
sympathies responded to lus own,
when the charm which had so long
fascinated his soul was dissolved,
and the choicest associations of his
earthly being scattered and scathed,
as the withering foliage ‘of the year
beneath the autumnal blast. Arous
ed by her duplicity, he scrupled not
to accuse her of having trifled with
his feeling; pointed out a variety of
instances in which she had shown him
a distinguished preference above Ins
rivals, and demanded an explanation
of her conduct. To all this, Malvi
na replied, that she had never re
garded him in any.other light than
that of an impassioned and distin
guished friend. His friendship lor
iier brother, she said, gave him a
claim on her regard, and it'she had
sometimes indulged a little familiarity
in their intercourse, it had originated
in her natural frankness, which led
her to lay aside reserve among inti
mates of the family circle. These
plausible pretences were far from
satisfying the discerning mind ol Flo
rio. The ang 1 had already degen
erated into the woman, and he now
plainly perceived, through the spe
cious veil of sincerity, the strong liu
ements of an artful and finished co
quett . Perfectly convinced that
the movements of Malvina were di
rected by a cold, calculating policy,
as selfish in its views as it was refin
ed in its operations—he reflected on
her refusal with less regret than he
at first received it, and before his
interview with Junius, had so modifi
»d her image, as to contemplate with
ndift'erence the very woman, who
hut the day preceding, had Seemed
to concentrate within herself all that
was necessary to his happines.
“ Good morning, my dear Junius,”
said his friend p as the half-opened
door gave him a glimpse of his ap
proaching visitor, “ why you look
quite sad and wo-begone. 1 hope no
taithless lair one has been playing
the mischief with your spirits.”
“ Give yourself no uneasiness. I
assure you, if all the young men of
our acquaintance were as free from
disquietude on that account as I am,
there would be no need of sympa
thising with aching hearts and disap
pointed feeling.”
“ But seriously, Florio, have I been
correctly informed of the result ol
your last interview with my sister.
She pretends to have given you a
refusal.”
“ It is even so Junius, but you s< t
feience. I have loved an image of
my own creating, not Malvina Ber
nard. I gave her credit for quajjties
which she never possessed, and dis
covering that she is destitute of theses
I no longer cherish her remembrance,
with that deep and impassioned in-’
terest it has so long excited. She
is your sister, my friend, and as such,
1 must ever respect her—but she re
sembles you in nothing, save the
symmetry of her person and the su
periority of her understanding. I
may regret that so much of tlie ar
dour ci my affections has been ex
pended on the idol of my imagina
tion l ut I can never regret that the
delusion was not permitted to con
tinue until I had become connected
by the most endearing ties, to a
cold and selfish heart.”
■ “ lam astonished beyond measure
at the insensibility of niv sister. I
could rot have believed it possible
for her to contemplate the pre-emin
ent virtues of Florio, without feeling
their influence. I know of no indi
vidual whom I could *.o cordially
embrace as my brother. I trust,
however, she has more amiable
qualities than you seem to admit.
She is young and thoughtless, ami
she doubtless mistook the purport
of your intentions. When a lover
delays to declare his passion, he puts
it out es the power of his mistress
to discover her real sentiments.”
“ 1 beg your pardon, my good
friend; there arc a variety of ways
in which a woman of lively and de
licate sensibility will give a lover to
understand what her sentiments are
concerning him. The distinctions
between love and friendship arc so
obvious that no person can mistake
them, more especially a shrewd and
discerning girl, who his long been
accustomed to mark with accuracy,
the nicest shades of indifference.
Nothing but a mean and sordid prin
ciple of variety, can actuate the wo
man, who encourages addresses that
she never int nds to accopt" of; a
vanity, however, which must event
ually exhaust the materials on which
it feeds. M nos worth soon discern
the growing motive of her conduct,
and no personal charms, or mental
superiority can, in their view, atone
for the weakness of deficiency bf the
moral principle. Coxcombs may
flatter while the bloom of beauty
lends its influence—but ev. n this
homage must cease when time shall
begin to plant wrinkles on her brow.
But why portract a discourse so irk
some to us both. Our friendship, I
trust, is still undiminished, and lest
some foul spirit arise to disturb it,
let this henceforth be an interdicted
subject between us. What say you
to a turn or two on the Battery this
fine morning ; tlie surrounding sce
nery will surely have a tendency to
refresh our spirits, and awaken more
agree able associations.
To this Junus readily acceded,
and seizing Floro’s arm, endeavour
ed to forget lus own mortification,
and his sister’s cruelty, by affecting
a degree of hilarity, which even in
his gayer hours, he was seldom
known to evince.

Florida Agency, Feb. 22,1526.
Sir : Finding, on my arrival at the
Agency, that the Chiefs of the Semi
nole Nation were extremely importu
nate that I should examine the j
country assigned by the late treaty
—urging strongly, that it had not
been fairly represented to the Presi
dent of the United States, and that
great injustice had been done to them
1 determined to act on the orders
from your Department, to explore
the Indian Country, and to report,
on mv on n examination, exactly as
I should find it to be. ,
1 have now tiie honor? afier a
foithiiil at.d laborious examination
of thoir lands for thirteen days, to
make the following report:—The
long swamp which Is on the right of
the military road from this place to
Tampa Bay, is the first land near the
present northern line deserving any
attention. This swamp is.near six
miles long, very narrow, and entirely
too wet for cultivation, except thirty
or forty acres, at its southern ex
tremity, which is inhabited by a fami
ly of Indians. I consider it of little
value. Akahumpki, signifies, in our
language, one pond; is an Indian
town. The. land is too poor for
cultivation, and there is very little
good land in its neighborhood. Pc
lack-laknha, is a town occupied by
the negroes, its name signifies scat
tered hammock; there is but little
land fit for cultivation about it, and
in the rainy season the best of it is
under water. Checuchatty, or Red
house, is rn Indian town on the mar
gin of? large pond; it appears to be
an ancient settlement; all the good
lands have been exhausted by culti
vation, and it is now poor, unhealthy,
and has not water near that is fit to
drink. The Big-hammock, jp situa
ted near this town I spent some
days in cxaniiniug it, and was greatly
disappointed hi its lertillitr, extent,
and supposed advantages. Theß.ig
hanimock is much lower than the ad
joining land, which is poor, pine,
sandy hills, wholly unfit for cultiva
tion. There is a large pdnd in the
centre of this Hammock, with sev oral
drains; in the wet season it is the
greater part under wat r ; in the dry
season there is no water except in
this large pond. The soil, from its
growth of timber, would induce a
passing observer to believe it very
fertile, but I found, on examining the
land in many places, that it is a light
mould two or three inches deep,
based on white sand, and would, if
cultivated, in three years become a
bed of sand. The whole extent 61*
this Hammock would not make mo{e
than a township. There is but one
small Indian settlement in it; and,
take it altogether, I feel confident it
has been vastly overrated. 1 think
that a man. who is a judge of land
would not give more than one dollar
per acre for the best of it, above
high wa<KJr mark, which would be a
small part.of the whole Hammock.
I did not travel but a short distance
ingoing South oh the military road.
1 left it near Okhumpki, and examin
ed the whole country to the right of
the road, as far as Tampa Bay. I
visited every spot where any lands
were spoken of as b ing g- 'od, and I
can say with truth, I have not seen
three hundred acres of good land in
my whole route, after leaving the
agency. The lauds on the Big and
Little Withle-Coucha arc poor, and
the. lands on Hillsborough river,
within the Indian boundary, are ol'so
little value, that there is not one
Indian settlement on any of them.
I did not visit Peas Creek. I had
suffered so much from drinking wa
ter alive with insects, from Mosche
tos, intolerblc hot wether, and my
hones were so reduced by the journey
and the swarms of horse-flies, that 1
determined to leave that point unex
plored, having received satisfactory
information; that there is but a small
tract of good land in that quarter. I
never have seen a more wretched
tract of country than that which I en
tered five or six miles iiouth ofChu
cuchattv; the sand hilis rise very
high, and the Indian-trail winds over
an extensive sand ridge, for eight or
nine mil s; the whole ofthe timber
'■for this distance, as far as the eye
can survey, has bevn killed by lire;
the burnt and blackened pines, with
out a leaf, added to tin dreary pov
erty ofthe laud, pres nts th most
miserable and gloomy prospects l
ver beheld. Aft r descending the
xiurthern extremity of this ridge,
i entered a low wet piny country,
otted with numerous ponds. 1 had
ranch difficulty to pass through them,
although the season has been uncom
monly dry; had much rain have fall
en, I never could have reached
Tampa Bay, in that direction. So
iow was the whole country, as far as
the Indian boundaryextended toward
Tampa Bay, that after riding all day,
■ind until 11 o’clock at night, in the
hope I would find a dry spot to sleep
[OR $4 IF NOT PAID IN *SIX MONTHS.

upon, I was compelled to take np
my lodgings on a low wet place for
the night. No settlement ever can
be made in this region, and there is
no land in it worth cultivation. The *
best ofthe Indian lands are worth but
little; nineteen twentieths of their
whole country within the present
boundary, is by far the poorest and
most miserable region 1 ever beheld.
I have, therefore, to advise as my
duty demands, awl the honor and
humanity of my country requires*
that the Big Swamp be aLo given to .
the Indians, and that the Northern
side be fixed fivft miles north of the
Big Swamp, qnd extended to the
Okele.raha river cast, and so far
west as to include the Big Hammock.
This line will take in no good land,
but the Big Swamp, of any conse
quncc; but by extending it into the
pine barren five miles, it will keep
off settlers from the Indian boundary,
who Would otherwise crowd near the
line, and sell whisky to the Indians.
The pine barren between the South
end of Alachua and ftse Big Swamp
is poor and never can he
The distance is About 25 miles. The
Big Swamp is six mile* long, and ie
about two miles wide, and is healthy,
high, rich land.
I have the honor to remain your
obedient servant.

Sir: Having been called on to
state my views of the country laid
out lor the future residence of the
Florada Indians, can only say that
my knowledge of the colmrty, from
observation, is limited, having only
travelled through it two or three
times; bat, sir, so far os I have seen
it, it is the poorest pat of Florida,
aud a large portion of it generally
inundated. There jttc, interspersed
through the country, sinaillight sandy
Hammocks, which will bear cultiva
tion a few years ; but I know no one
spot of good !at>d sufllr eatfy large for
one of the several tribes, or towns of
Indians. My opiooton is, therefore,
clear, that the cannot
possibly subsist on their loca
tion, and that an extension of the
line, so far as to include the Big
Swamp, which is a Hammock con
taining about five or six thousand
acres of pretty good land, ought to
be granted them, which is all that is
asked by them, so far as I have
heard.
I am, very rcpcctfully, your Excel

BEN: CHAIRES.
His Excellency William F. Duval.
By the urgent request of several gentlemen
of Twiggs count/, we republish the following
article.
FOR TH* STATESMAN.
To an observer ofthe times, it is
really interest ing to notice thfcfvarious
ebbs and flows, currents and counter
currents, that are flowing hither an
thtiher, in our political atmosphere,
at this time. Our little great men,
alias election jockeys are a* busy as
so many bees, testing tl . speed and
bottom of their vwrious coursers, in
order to ascertain whichcanbe trust
ed on the tr.rt at the fall rac s, —
Caucuses, those hot beda in which
intrigue and villany aie conceived
and nurtured, have become quite
the order of the day. Neither the
sabbath, nor the holy temples of God
remain unpoluted by them.
Having recently been so fortunate,
or rather so unfortunate, as to be
taken for a Radical, I had the mor
tification to find ihyself iuvited to ono
of these holy of holies, the back-room
of a law shop, on one ot these afore
said caucus occasions. I accordingly
attended, and took my seat as a le
gitimate member. The proceedings
ofthe mooting was conducted upon
the plan of interrogatory. Quite a
consequential self important looking
little gentlemen, wno I was told his
Excelleucy in one ofihis mad fits had
thought proper to dub a Colonel;
aud who, by tbe by. has considerable
reputation tor the wisdom of his si
lence, opened the meeting by address
ing himself to an elderly looking
man—Well General, what think you
of the next Presidency 1 Why Col.
to he honest about it, I think we must
go the whole amount for Jackson.
Well, but General what will the peo
ple say about it. Y'ou know at tlio
last races we abused him most un
mercifully, and swore that his sup
p rters were all Federalist and Ta
rn men, and that he was the most
ivranicxl, overbearing, unprincipled
scoundrel that ever attempted teim
.iose himself on the community. O,
bat Col you know we only done that
;q support Crawford and the party ;
and the fact is, now to be honest about
it, he is the peoples man. and right
or wrong : Ay that iswvery ttue.
But I would rather vote for Craw
ford if he had nothing but a leg;
poor fellow, he is entirely out of tne
