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. Glad to hear it: —Rio Coffee has declined at Nevv- Orleans to 8 cents pe r pound—B,ooo Bags having recently been sold at that price. This is equal to a decline of $lO per Bag. since the Ist of February. Glad that Bj*eciilators in the article have burnt their fingers. Information wanted: —Can any body tell us where the Memphis and Charleston Rail Road is located ? We see such a road mentioned in the pajters, hut have never yet seen its route laid down.

The Scene in the Senate • —The late brawl in the U. S. Senate, between Benton and Foote is disgraceful to the country. We think that Inith ought to be expelled, Benton especially, as the biggest blackguard and bully in the whole country. 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 nies of Macon. I )r, F. was a native of Clarke county, Ga.. and 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 ities other gentlemen may have for storing Cotton and other produet? in this city, but there can be no mistake about those 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 commercial character. See advertisement. 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, No. 18 Dnteh street, N. Y.,have utterly disregarded an or der sent them, based upon such a contract, in part, and 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! 11 DAYS LATER FRO.II EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA AT HALIFAX. W e are indebted to the Savannah Georgian, for an Ex tra containing the following news.— Georgia Citizen. Halifax, Friday morning, 9 o’clock. The steamer America arrived from Liverpool at 12 o'clock last night, and sailed at half ja.st two this morning, with the wind north and J'ght. She liad seventy-two through passengers.

The sales for the fornight reached sixty thousand bales, of which 17,000 were taken by speculators, and exporters 5,500. Nearly all the sales were made the last week, amounting to 45,000 bales. Other Markets.— 1 here is an increased buoyancy in tho Corn Market. Flour has advanced one shilling, and Indian Corn the same. Coffee.—Recent public sales at Amsterdam were unsat isfactory, and caused prices to recede. They have since ral lied slightly ; but tho market is so unsettled that quotations would be useless.

France.—Public order prevailed at Paris, but political affairs assumed a more threatening aspect. Second Despatch. Money Market. —The Money Market is easy. Consols have been fluctuating for the last week from 95 7-8 to 9*l 3-8 and closed at 9G 1-4 for money and account. American stocks are in good request, but no quotations have been furnished. The Bullion is still increasing in the Bank of England. Manufacturing Districts.—-We have but little to report from the Manufacturing Districts. The Manchester markets have for some days been improving, and especially for yarn and fine goods. Freight continued high. American shipping is scarce. The English coast has been visited by a severe hurricane on the 30th March, causing much destruction of property and frightful loss of life. Among other vessels known as lost the J no. Skiddy has gone ashore on the cost of Wex ford, totally wrecked; Capt. Shipley, crew and passengers saved. The Howard from New Orleans, was also wrecked at the entrance of the Mersey.

A Mr. Napier, of Swansea, has announced to the Scientific Institution of that town, that he has discovered anew explosive substance, which he designates “ white powder,” having ten times the force of common gunpowder. It is composed of the following ingredients : one part yellow prussiate of potash, ! well dried ; one part sugar, well dried ; two parts chloride of potash. These materials are finely ground separately, and then intimately mixed. Tight sleeves are again in fashion. Between the shoulders and elbow there is worn a double row of bullion fringe. Tlie amount of duty collected on bricks in England the last year, was two and a half millions of dollars. At the great hospital of St Louis, in Paris, 50,000 baths, 40,000 fumigations and 3,000 douches, are prescribed in the course of a year. It accommodates 800 patients, and the whole annual expense of the establishment is one hundred thousand dollars. The blockade of the African coast of 4,000 miles is said to have cost the English government, up to this time, twenty live millions of pounds sterling. It is rumored in Paris that Madame Kossuth has escaped from her guards, and is in Constantinople. Queen Victoria has given up her intended visit to Gibral ter. Large quantities of coal are shipping from Newcastle, Eng land, to California. The Queen has settled a pension upon Mrs. Bessy Moore, the wife of the poet, Tom Moore. Dr. Valentine, a Prussian Jew, has just been naturalized by the Grand Council of Berne ; the first instance of the kind. Sphor has recovered from the effect of his fall on the ice.

Duff Green, for building this Road, has been dissolved. We do not know what was the cause of difference between the Gen eral and the Directors of the Road’ The Homestead Exemption Bill, protecting a homestead to the value of SIO9O, has passed the New York Assembly by a majority of two, several members Wing absent, and will probably pass the Senate by a larger majority. The Assem bly has also passed a bill to raise SBOO,OOO for Common Schools by State Tax. The bill will assess New York city lor about $200,000, or one-fourth of the whole amount. sis ts©e ©• in cnuia, 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 , from the Post Master General, notifying the public that the United States Mail Line of Steam Packets, called Collins’ Line, will go into operation on the 27th inst. The Atlantic, the first of the new line, will leave New York for Liverpool on the above day at 12, noon, and convey the mails between the Unit ed States and Great Britain ami tho Postal Treaty entered into between the two countries.

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.

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.

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 servation of the forties of judicial proceeding, offer unusual induce ments to those who are earnest to achieve distinction as sound lawyers 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 ging in an honorable, a healthful and a lucrative pursuit, for which* they may be thornnglily and practically qualified, in a short time, ami” at small expense, at the Western Military Institute.
