WHEELER’S MAGAZINE FOR AUGUST y u ]jy sustains the impression made by tlie first number, and . of patronage. It is as well edited and printed, and fully as cheap as any of the Northern periodicals. Any of ur friends desirous of having the work can bo supplied on payment of the subscription one dollar . Written for “A Friend of the Family.’* LABOR. The curse “in the swent of thy face shalt thou eat bread’* n<l pronounced upon Adam for his disobedience, though en tailed upon his rnce .ns a mark of tlwr Almighty’s displeasure, comes to us nevertheless pregnant with very rich blessings, and if rightly regarded, is a striking evidence of the paternal care and beneficence which Infinite love and wisdom continu nlly exercises towards us. Labor though pronounced on man n? a curse, in form, has no evils to compare with the miseries es idleness. A single minute s reflexion will convince any one of this,’ and perhaps render him less discontented with the laborer's lot. But there are those who will read this to whom even thought is a task too laborious,and who would prefer some other higher authority than our own, if so, we now refer them to the most admired work written on Political Economy the Wealth of Nations, by Dr. A. Smith, in which they will find the following language: “ Labour iathe source of all human enjoyment. * * All wealth, all objeats ot necessary use, of convenience, of enjoyment, are either created or fashioned, or in some way obtained, by human labor.” And again, shall any now prefer a popular authority, we cite them the following from the last novel of Bulwer’s : • I hold that the greatest friend to man is labor; that knowl edge without toil if possible were worthless; that toil in pur suit ol knowledge we can attain; that the continuous effort for faino is nobler than fame itself; that it is not wealth sud denly acquired which is deserving of homage, but the virtues which a man exercises in the slow pursuit of wealth—the abilities so called forth, the self denials so imposed ; in a word, that labor and patience are the only true schoolmas ters ; and both of them are very much abroad in the presence of the fashionable schoolmaster we have installed at home. GUN SHOT. RECEPTION OF FATHER MATHEW. Correspondence of (he N. Y. Express. Boston, July 24. The distinguished Irish stranger has been honored with a noble reception by the Bostonians, who are ever distinguished for their attentions. Excepting the immense numbers which greeted Father Matliew in New \ ork, the welcome here lias been every way as enthusiastic and hearty. The day, indeed, has been almost a holiday among the working classes, and en tirely so among the Irish people who seem to manifest an un fhiggiag devotion to their Temperance Hero. It is a noble cause, a/td in all respects worthy of their joyous demonstra tions. The procession was not so long as many formed here on for mer occasions, but in all respects it lias been respectable for nulnbers, good order, and fine appearance. There were sev en or eight bands of music, and a thousand flags, and regalia bulges and banners without stint. The Irish showed a good spirit throughout, and the country could hardly pick out a m ire orderly or respectable portion of Irish people than were in the line of tho procession and on Boston common to-day. S rniP of the oldest and best citizens, official and unofficial, participated in the welcome, nnd were among the Committee of Arrangements. Father Mathew was greeted with repeat ed loud cheers, and acknowledged his honors with becom ing grace, nnd a high sense of the favors received. There w;is speaking on Boston Common, which I did not hear, and a welcome less private, but not less formal, in which I did not participate. To-morrow the services are announced in respect to the memory of the late President Polk. Another and a different class of people will appear in the procession, and thus exhibit the Bostonians in anew phase to the stranger. Judge Wood- Imry is the orator and has laid himself out for a great address in honor of the Chief Magistrate, whose confidence he large ly shared, and from whom he received his high office. GEORGIAN EXTRA, Savannah, Aug. 1. FROM FLORIDA. Reports of Further Depredations. —From passengers by the Vlorula boat, we learn that another express arrived at Palatka, him ns the boat was leaving, giving information of the murder, U the Indians, of six or seven negroes, the property of some ° die so tilers on the Manatee, between Tampa Bay and Char l,lft s Harbor. It is stated that the Indians first attempted to wry oft the negroes, but they resisting, were killed upon the spot. h is further reported that the company of troops from ampa, with a few volunteers, came upon the trail of the In dians and pursued it to the banks of a stream, (filename 0 “h' c h we did not learn,) where the bridge used for cross ing had been destroyed, and the Indians, to the amount of one un ued, appeared on the opposite side, armed and painted, going the war whoop, and daring the troops to cross. Being small a number in comparison to the Indians, the troops felt b,ed to decline the invitation, and returned to Tampa. evince wllich are said to be well authenticated, ® 51 to hostility we have heretofore suggested, f 7 outbreak. u ‘bm.il in the Jacksonville News of the 28tli July, ” i itten before th* . . tiinates ill- * rece, pt of the news by the last express, m , . *.* 1 les ° depredations are not the consequence of a general rising of tb c • i Pillv j> _ & uie Seminole nation, stating as reasons, that foe Unit 1 S ,( 0,10 H’incipal chiefs, had been met by ed ill . td [ es troo Ps from Tampa, who solemnly disclaim °ut! iwV( fp’ ,tlon * n ,e n ftfo r and chaiged it upon a band of $t j !^ 10 id-oifations are deserted,and the frontier towns along pliJ T’ Ii lke onroe are placed under Military disci ‘ U cl!,i, S s on plantations most exposed are being pick as during the last war ly of * l0 " g tlme tl>e Indians have had every opportuni 'fj providin g themselves with the means of defence Wed lV ° laying up provisions, and have se_ in J a lul1 8u PPty of powder and lead. They have increased er and feel themselves ready for another attempt to full possession of the country. It is rumored, but we do not credit it, that reinforcements of other Indians have made their way into Florida, from Ala bama and otherquarters. There were a few Indians left in West Florida who might have joined the Seminoles, but their numbers were iew, and unimportant. Whether our details are strictly correct or not, one thing, is certain—they are believed in Florida, and the authorities of the State are promptly acting-in reference to this belief. Gov.

One hundred men will be mustered into servide at Jacksonville*, by Col Pons to-morrow, and double that number we learn are in readiness.
