Florida Indians:—Late advice*; from Florida give
but little reason to think that the Indians will peaceably re
move from the southern portion of that State. Billy Bowlegs
and Sam Jones have retired to Big Cypress swamp. The
Government had better hire out the job of taking Indian
scalps to the lowest bidder, if it wishes to get rid of the var
mints. The Regular soldiery of the U. S. can do nothing in
such a country of swamps and everglades.

Death of Surgeon Fill wood. —Assistant Surgeon
Fulwood.of the U. S. Army, died in this city, last week, and
was buried with military honors by the two Volunteer Compa

entered the Army in 1889. During the late Mexican war, he
was attached to Gen. Taylor’s Medical Staff, and was present
at the battles of Palo Alto, Resaca, Monterey and Buena Vis
ta. Bitterly, lie was attached to the command of General
Twiggs in Florida, whence he returned, but a few days before
his decease, to die among his kindred. His disease was Con
sumption, contracted in the North-West, where he had been
stationed, li>r a time.
OiisleyN Ware-House.— We know not what facil

offered by Messrs. Ousley cV Son, at the old Rail Road Bank,
up ('uttnn Avenue. They have a splendid building for the pur
pose and have the reputation of being very attentive and ac
commodating to their numerous customers. Our country
friends will, we are sure, be well served, by entrusting their
business to the care of gentlemen so desirous of pleasing and
so capable of carrying out their desires, in all matters of a

Remington’s Coffee Pot,— Through the politeness
of Mr. J. Beattie, jr. we have been presented with one of
these useful articles of domestic economy, and shall immedi
ately test its capabilities in the manufacture of the moclui
decoction. The principle of this coffee pot is thus explained :
Tie- spirit and aroma of tile Gwffcc being more volatile than
water is the first to rise steam of evaporation, and
coming iii contact with the cold water surface of the coffee lid.
is condensed and thrown back into the fluid, digesting the eof
foo and adding to its flavor id strength. This is. in truth, the
principle of tin Still, simplified and applied to the top of the cof
fee |w>t. In its use, no other settling or clarifying substance is
neeessary in making good coffee, while the condensing appara
tus does not add more than 15 cents cost to the ordinary Boil
er. When our good housewife makes due trial of this new
Invention, we shall report, accordingly, as to its merits.
Eloctro Biology.— Our old friend, Thcophilus Fisk,
who has lately added a vowel to his name, (spelling it Fiske,) ;
is now Lecturing in New Orleans on anew science, which
he denominates Electro Biology, in contradistinction from
Mesmerism. In a communication to the Picayune, Professor
F. explains the difl'erence between the two things and re
commends the former as anew remedial agent of extraor
dinary power, especially is such eases as Paralysis, Neuralgia.
Dy-qiepsia, Rheumatism, Scrofulous tumors, St. \ itus Dance,
and nervous diseases, generally. He also states that several
cases of Cholera, in its worst form, had been cured in New
Orleans, by persons who liad taken lessons in Electro Biology,
from the Professor, after the patients had been given over to
die by the Physicians. The following extract from Mr. F's
communication gives the substance of his remarks upon the
difference between Electro Biology and Mesmerism:
“ I can perform thesameelass of experiments by both agen
cies ; but the mode of performing the experiments in the two
eases, differs as widely as heat and cold, light ami darkness,
or anv two opposite principles in the universe. In mesmerism,
the operation is pnrely mental; in Electro Biology it is alto
gether physical, muscular, mechanical. In the former, the ope
rator exercises an influence over the subject; in the latter he
makes an impression upon the subject. In mesmerism great
power of mental concentration is required 5 in Electro Biology,
none whatever. In the one case, a strong constitution, good
bodily health is indispensable in order to become a successful
operator —not so in the other. In the one ease artificial som
nambulism lias first to be induced before the person can be
fully experimented ujon; in the other, persons are operated
ujioii while ina perfectly wakeful state, and in the lull pos
session of all their faculties. In mesmerism there is a perfect
sympathy of taste, feeling, Ac., established between the ope
rator and the subject; in Electro Biolog)’ there is not the
slightest sympathy existing between the two, any more than
there is between any other two individuals in the audience.
In the latter ease the person experimented upon neither tastes,
sees, In ars, &e., that which the operator does, as in mesmer
ism; the senses are perfectly independent of the operator's
will • it is not by the will that experiments are performed in
Electro Biology, but by impressions. 11l mesmerism the will
of the suspect is under complete control; in Electro Biology
it is perfectly free, independent, and uncontrollable. In the
one ease the subject moves like a machine under the influence
of an irresistible power; has no will, thought, wish, or desire,
independent of the operator; in Electro Biology the opposite
is true; the subject has the perfect control of his own will;
and can prevent impressions being made upon him whenever
he feels so disposed ; but once permitting himself to become
passive, and allowing an impression to be made, he cannot
then resist it successfully, although he is perfectly independ
ent of that of the operator. In mesmerism the subject is in a
state or condition of utter unconsciousness; in the new
science lie is perfectly conscious state. The difl’erence be
tween the two is the difl’erence that exists between a person
fast asleep, and one who is wide awake.
There is still another wide difference between the two
sciences. My experience in both lias taught me that ten
persons can be successfully operated upon by the new science,
where one can be by mesmerism ; and the cures effected by
each, are in the same, or rather in a much greater proportion.
By the new science which I advocate, not only area very
much greater number of patients cured, but in an almost
conceivable shorter space of time. Then there is hardly a
possibility of unpleasant results being occasioned by the pres
ent system, even in the hands of the inexperienced, where a
a proper degree of prudence is exercised, which cannot always
b said of mesmerism.’’
Jew aUll Gentile. —There like to have been a skirmish
up town, on Monday, between a couple of gentlenmen touch
ing the right to the occupying of a doer-way in the premises
occupied by the twain. They were a-door-ing each other very
fraternally, when the Gentile got the better of his antagonist
and closed the door upon him ! “Whereupon the Jew takes
out a warrant for an alledged assault and had the Gentile
brought up before a magistrate for punishment. On hearing
of the ease, that officer dismissed the same as unicarantable,
with costs. The Plaintiff thus gained the loss of an X paid
to a lawyer and over $3, besid. s, the fees'of the magistrate
and hailifl! We only give the tV ctq suppressing all comment
as well as the names of the parties, as unnecessary.
Sw indling. it to be our duty to caution the
public against the swindling devices of several Houses in
New York and elsewhere, who are in the habit of getting
their wares and merchandize advertised in the country papers,
without ever thinking of complying with the terms, offered by
themsehes, for the service thus rendered them, by the press.
CSf R dp Webb , Printer's Furnishing Ware House,

may be put down as No. 1 .
H. H- Green, 17 Canal street Row, New Orleans,
is another of the same kidney. After publishing the adver
tisement of the concern about a year and sending a copy of
the Democrat to the address, we called personally to get
our pay in type, when the Proprietor denied the account and
required us to send our file from Columbus to New Orleans
to prove the same! W e accordingly gathered up a few of
the numbers containing the first, last and some intermediate*
insertions, and sent them to Green—but have yet received
no answer, though 18 montlis have nearly elapsed, since! —
This is swindle No. 2.
One Thompson in Baltimore, Agent for Wise, the
I lair 1 bnic Man of Richmond, may be mentioned as No. 3.
M e advertised his Tonic, by special request through a circu
lar, and expected a Ten Dollar Box of the article, wherewith
to rejuvenate our sparse and falling locks! but alas, that box
has never come to hand !
1®” Fourthly, as the preachers say—the Publisher of
Eliza Cook s Journal,’’ in New York, is the most impudent
specimen of the genus yet noticed. He promised to pay
cash for the publication of his Prospectus, and when the ac
count was presented, most peremptorily repudiated the con
tract, and has not yet settled!
M e have a “ few more of the same sort left” which we
will show up, hereafter, in their true colors, and as far as pos
sible put a stop to the rascally impositions which some are
disposed to practice on our “ generous confidence.” So look
out!

LETTER FBOVI LEWIS CASS.
General Cass sent the following letter in reply to an invita
tion to the ball given in his honor at Tammany Hall on Mon
day night, the 25tli ult:
Fellow-citizens :—ln this dark day of our country, there
is one bright spot for the eye to rest upon;—one consoling
and redeeming characteristic, wluclt is almost a compensa
tion for the troubles that encompass us, and the dangers that
upset our path. And that intense love of the Union
which recent events have called into powerful action. It
speaks to us from quarter and in ever)’ breeze. With
ered be the hand that is to touch the ark of our
political safety. Even the conflicts of party are hushed by the
mighty voice of the nation. Men wli% during the exertions
of a long life, have been in political opposition, now find them
selves, perhaps, for the first time, contending, side by side, for
the preservation of the constitution, with no other rivalry but
the rivalry of devoted patriotism. It is a spectacle as glorious
its it is encouraging. I will not suffer myself to believe, for a
moment, that the blessings of God are to be impiously reject
ed and this Union broken up, in the very wantonness of pros
perity. No, no—let the same spirit which animated our fath
ers animate their sons, a spirit of mutual compromise and
good feeling, and our present difficulties will soon pass away,
leaving no other trace of their existence but in the surprise
that such questions could ever have threatened such conse
quences. Your friend and fellow-citizen,
LEWIS CASS.
Manufacture of Turpentine.
The Savannah Republican of 11 th inst. says: We are in
debted to the kindness of a mercantile friend who has procu
red for us the statistics of the turpentine which ought to be pro
duced in Georgia during the actual working season. There
are before us the names of some fifteen or sixteen per
sons engaged in the business in Georgia whose entire
product will amount to not less than Twenty Thousand
Light Hundred Barrels. These gentlemen are many of
them porsonally known to us—nearly all of them are our
subscribers, and the information may be relied on as accurate,
lo this must be added the production of seven or eight more
persons, who have more recently begun the business in
Georgia, and of two in Florida, whose names we have,
but is out of our power at present to indicate the probable re
sults of their labor. The same remark is applicable to the
article received by the river. We are satisfied, however,
that the whole product of Georgia and Florida during the
season ending on the Ist September, will reach the figure of
30,000 barrels, of which we put down 25,000 barrels, to
Georgia. ‘1 his will represent a value of some eighty thous
and dollars to be divided among a moderate number of pro
ducers.
At the same time it is worthy of remark that the distillation of
crude turpentine is rapidly increasing at various points. In
cluding the large distillery in this city, under the charge pf
Messrs. Yonge & Gamill, we count no loss than ton distil
leries in Georgia, either actually erected or ordered on their
way to their destination. We presume that the extent to
which the manufacture of turpentine is being developed in
this State, is not known to our readers. If this production
goes on increasing fora few years longer as rapidly as during
a year or two past, it will not take long to transfer the gene
ral head-quarters of the turpentine trade from North Caro
lina to Georgia. So far as we are informed, most of those
who have entered upon the business of producing turpen
tine in Georgia, have had as good success as could reasona
bly be expected. Such, however, has not been the case in
Barnwell district in Carolina. The planters in that region
seem to have been wrongly instructed in the outset, which
circumstance, together with the advance in cotton, has in
duced them generally to give over the production for the
present.
Government line of Steam Packets.— An of
ficial notice appears in the Washington Republic ,

Godey’s Lady’s Book for 1850.
“The book of the Nation.” The oldest magazine in America
Published by the present proprietor I'yr twenty years. Edited by Mrs.
Sarah J. Hale. X ‘ •
COMPARISON BETWEEN “ OODEv” DID THE OTHER PHILADELPHIA
MOTHI.IBS.
In 1849, the Lady's Boojt .gave 916 pages—w hich is 116 more
than one, and 148 pages more than the other Philadelphia monthly.
He gave 281 engravings—among which were 20 colored, and 93 full
page—which is 136 more than one, and 180 more than the other.
We gave breach piece of music, printed separately on
tinted papSr, Tnakmc 24 P' ece * in a year. To show the
cheapness of the Lady’s Book, this same bought separately
at the music stores, would cost exactly the price of the whole year’s
suliscriptinn- -83.
Some of our Prccliar Embemsiiments. —Ladies’ Work Table—
which comprises every kind of Needlework, Embroidery, Knitting,
Netting, Crochet, Pattern* for caps, Chemisettes, Children’s Clothes,
Wedding Dresses. In-door and Out-door Costumes; Birds of America;
Colored Flower Plates; Model Outage* and Furniture; Fashionable
do.; ltce work; Vignette Plates at the head of articles, etc. etc. All
the above are illustrated by engravings,
And, in 1850, will also be given a set of engravings, illustrative of
the costumes of ail nations, with a descrqitinn by Mrs. Hale. Most of
the old features, of the Book, that were so popular last year, will lie
retained, and new ones added as they may suggest themselves to the
publisher.
Anew novel, by W. Gilmore Simms, will lie one of the features for
1850.
Ocr Reading Matter, —We have long stood at the head of the
magazine world for our contributions; they are always moral and
instructive, and such as may be placed before a family without hesi
tation. This department is under the control of Mrs. Sarah Josepha
Hale, whose name alone is a sufficient guarantee for the propriety of
the lady’s Book. We may say the same of our engravings. We
will never, as is done by a contemporary, publish indecent model-ar
tist pictures, such as no parent would allow a child to look at.
Godey’s Lady’s Book for 1850 shall surpass that of 1849, and ex
ceed all magazines—past, present, and to come.

Two hundred and thirty Cadets, froth fifteen different States, bavg
entered this Institution since it was organized, in 1817. It is entire-’
ly free from the control or domination of any sect or party, either po*
litical or religious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of a cheap
Uniform, for Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every student
is required to select a College guardian, with whom all funds brought
or received must be deposited, and no debt must be contracted without
the consent of such guardian.
An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy
and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of our best
Colleges, adding the modern languages, and superadfiing practical
schools of Law ami Engineering, nearly realizes tl"3 long-felt deside r
ation of a university able to meet the wants of Western progress—a
university where all may select a course of steady to suit their lime,
means ond professional destination.
Mr. Daviess, the Professor of I,aw, is known is the variou#
Courts as a practitioner of great ability, varied learning, long experi
ence and exalted character. His eminent qualifications the whole
some exercise and discipline of the Institute, and Lie convenient ob

CIVIL ENGINEERING
Will be thoroughly and practically taught in the Western Military In
stitute—the Professor, Col. Morgan, being one of the most skillful and’
experienced Kngineers in the United States. All the instruiient* con
nected with that detriment, have been procured at’ considerable costs
and are of the best quality.
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating that be is now otter
ed 875 |>er month, for conipetant assistant Engineers. Otie of his for
liter pupils receives at this time $‘2,500 ier annum,as Principal En
ginner of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—whilst
others of the same class are receiving in different parts of the United-
States, $2,000, $1,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineer*.
The time is rapidly approaching when there will be a great demand
for such as have been prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mils
itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily
command $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Every man of otsiervation
must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement of
onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, sor 1 exploring the
hidden resources of the new states and the newly acquired terrtPtry,--
will give ample sco|e for ages to come, to the ski Hand enterprise of
the Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist, the Surveyor and th
Architect, Young men who have an aptitude fef the Mathematical
and Physicnl sciences will have a wide field opened to them for enga
