Thk Isdias IThocbles "is FLOirna.. Since
the attack upon Lieut. HartsutTs party, that
portion "tf Florida a'onjr. the Indian Eiver and
in the vicinity of Fort Myers has become very
-unsafe For whites. -Stragglers from tlis Fort,
-cr adventurers in pursuit of game in those wild
but hitherto peaceful hunting districts, are
fired upon by yellow miscreants concealed be
hind trees ; and ; in the chapparal. W have
just received authentic information of another
.attack equal in atrocity to that committed upon
Lieut. HartsufTs squad. It is a letter from an
officer dated, Fort Myers, January 19, 18-56.
It says, "An express has jast arrived from
Tort Deynaud with another Indian outbreak.
A party of woodcutters, consisting of a corpo
ral and fire men, were Crcd at by 20 Indians, 4
miles from the pot. One man otily . escaped
(lie slightly wounded ; the rest were massa
cred, and twelve mules killed. Lieut. Lam
ed, 2d Artillery, directlyVwent in search of the
savages but though he. scoured the country a
round not a sign or trace of them could be
found, and strangely enough the dead bodies
f the men were also missing, nor was flierc
any trace of blood, but the country is so much
under water that blood could easily be washed
away. -On bis return Lieut. "Webb, 2d Artil
lery, and a party went out. They, too, explo
red every place, but without success ; so the
-case remains a mystery. The Indians were
supposed to be headed by an old chief named
-Okchan. -Repeated scouts have been sent in
every direction through the country from Fort
Deynaud since'the afTair with Lieut, HartsufF,
and though they have freequently seen Indian
hogs, (it is commonly said that where you find
Indian hogs, the Indians themselves are not
far off,) they never have seen any trace of the
Indians themselves."
Extreme Cold at the Socth. A corres
pondent of the Picayune, writing from Cam
den, Arkansas, Jan. 11th, says "It is so con
foundedly cold that I can scarcely write. I
am fairly freezing. Thoughts may breathe,
but there is no chance for "words that burn,"
wherewith to warm one's self in this merciless
weather. I do believe this must bo the cold
est place, just nuw. on this side of poor John
Franklin's remains. . The Wachita river is fro
zen over ;" stock is freezing to death in num
bers alF around us, and I verily believe (al
most) that wo shall lose seed of everything in
the poultry line. Tha thermometer for the
greater part of the time ranges at 20 or 22 deg.
below-tho freezing point. I write this with
the inkstand on the hearth, a big blanket over
-my bead, and both feet in the fire ! U-g-h, I
can't go any more."
The officers of the steamboat Alida, at New
Orleans from the Red River, report: Left
Shreveport Jan. 2.3th. River falling faster at
that point than ever before known. In port
and bound for .New Orleans, steamboat Victo

learned the river was" at low water mark and

ted the river frozen over at that point and the
Indians crossing on the ice with their ponies
A letter dated Fort Belknap. Texas, Dec. 30,
says, "The weather for the last week has been
c-xtraordina'ryj such intense cold is unheard of
in these parts. The breath of the Arctic re
gions rushed down upon us on the 22d inst., 7
o'clock P. 31. Villi our . windows, and doors
open, on account of heat,and in a few moments
the cold w"as paralyzing. Since then, until
sundown : yesterday, the relentless norther
raged, : killir.g horses, calves and chickens,
and fr ost-biting several persons exposed to its
merciless fury.
The Stats Aesenal Robbebt. The Grand
Jury of Dauphin County at the late session of
the Court, found two bills against Andrew E.
Drane, late keeper of the State Arsenal, and
Aaron Coburn, a Democratic Member, of the
House of Representatives from, the County of
Philadelphia, for robbery of the State Arsenal
at Uarrisburg a lew months ago. The first
count of the indictment charges Drane 'with
the-Larceny of rifles and muskets to the value
of $2,025, Coburn with being accessary to said
Larceny before the fact. The second count
charges Coburn alone with receiving the prop
rty referred to, knowing it to have been sto
len. The other indictment is against both for
a conspiracy to appropriate to their own use
the property of the Commonwealth The case
was continued by the Court, at the request of
Mr. Coburn 's counsel. Mr. C was held to bail
in the sum of $2,500, to appear at the April
sessions and was discharged. Drane remains
in jail. " - .
Railroad Accident. A frightful accideut
occurred on the Columbia Railroad on the
night of the 4th, about four miles west of Phi
ladelphia, by which one person was killed and
twent y-seven were wounded. A rail, rendered
brittie by the intense cold,' broke in three pie
es, throwing the front wheels of the forward
car off the traok. ; These wheels were, howev
er, drawn upon the rails again, and this car af
terwards retained its position upon the track.
The second car was thrown from the track,
and the forward axle breaking, the car, with
all its occupants, was precipitated down an
embankment about thirty feet' high. The car
in its descent struck a large tree it the bot
tom. The concussion split the car open and
ihr.".v many of the passengers to the ground,
find enabled most of the others to escape from
the wreck. Had the car not been broken to
pieces the consequences would have been
more frightful, as there was a very hot fire in
the stove. The blazing contents of the stove
were scatfered through the car in its descent
anl in a few minutes the latter was in flames.
The Mosroe Doctrixe," of which bo much
has been said and written, is contained in a sin
2lc sonttice of one of Mr. Monroe's messages
Here It is t
'-That the American Continents by the free
and ini-pendent condition which they have as
some I and maintained, are henceforth not to
bo considered as subjects for future coloniza
MxavtASD Executive ox Secret Socie
ties. Governor Ligon, in his message to the
Legislature of Maryland, called the attention
of that body to the existence Vkhin the State
tf certain political societies which he denonn
ced as subversive of .the well-established prin
ciples of Republican Government. The Leg
islature referred the subject to a Select Com
mittee, of which Mr. A. K. Kennedy, of the
Baltimore delegation, was chairman, .with in
structions to enquire, first, whether any and
what political societies' existed in the State;
second, whether any society, secret or open,
was known to encourage or produce purposes
which tended to such "subversion of the well
established principles of our government,"
and thirdly, whether any or what society, or
portion of the people of Maryland, have intro
duced religious issues into the field of politi
cal organization; with other kindred inquiries.
The committee were also empowered to re
quest the Governor to communicate to them
any information he possessed, and . to send for
persons or papers if they deemed an investiga
tion necessary.
The organ of the Romish prelate of New
York takes alarm at this fetep of Mr. Kennedy,
and says the honorable gentleman ctdoe3 not
mean to do anything good by his proposed
committee." This is all the organ says, and
the hint is put forth as a warning to the
Iriends of Romanism, to be oa their guard a
gainst the action of the committee. Now for
the key tothcniystcriousccronthepartof the
Freeman's Journal. It appears that Mr. Ken
nedy has turned the tables upon Gov. Ligon,
and seeks to investigate thecjjairs of more secret
societies than tin Gov. bargained, for. The tirst
'porsons' sent for should be the Jesuits, with
their 'papers;' or, these laiiing to appear let
the committee be empowed to obtain the "pa
pers" of the Jesuits from the archives of the
society's" institutions. Perhaps'some few en
quiries into the objects and aims of the Sociey
of St. Vincent De Paul," or the purpose of
the "Leopold Foundation" might lead to
somethiug interesting if not startling. We
shall watch these proceedings with some interest.
Hear Lewis Cass on Roman-is:. The lion.
Lcwid Cass made a speech in tiie Senate of the
United States in May, 1834, and which can now
be found in the Congressional Globe, Sod Con
gress, 1st Session, pages GS1 to G'JO, wherein
he takes strung ground against Romanism.
Gen. Cass, after giving the barbarous treatment
of Protestants in many Roman Catholic coun
tries, on this and the other side of the Atlantic
concludes as follows:
. "And does Archbishop Hughes believe that
all these abuses are destined to continue, un
touched and unchanged? That they Will much
longer resist the mighty tide of public opinion
which has already done so much in these, our
litter days, and is fated to dp so much more ?
And are the representatives of the American
Xeoplc to lav their hands, upon their .mouths.

ot others as to sacri3ce our own true rights
and honor."
A Bath isr toe Dead Sea. I proposed a
bath, for the sake of experiment, but Francois
endeavored to dissuade us. He had tried it;
and nothing could be more disagreeable; we
isked getting a fever, and there were four
hours of dangerous travel yet before us. Rut
by this time we were half undressed, and soon
were floating in the bituminous waves. The
beach was flue gravel, and shelved gradually
down. I kept my turban on my head, and was
careful to avoid touching the water with my
face. The. sea was moderately warm,;and grate
fully soft and soothing to the skin; and even
when swimming the body rose half out of the
water. I should think it possible to dive for
a short distance, but should prefer that some
one else would try the experimeut.
With a log' of wood for a pillow, one might
sleep as on one of the patent mattresses. The
taste of the water is salt and pungent, and
stings the tongue like saltpetre. We were ob
liged to dress in haste, without even wiping
off the detestable liquid; yet I experieuced a
very little of that discomfort which most trav
ellers have remarked. Where the skin has
been previously bruised, there was a slight
smarting sensation, and my body felt clammy
and glutinous, but the bathwas rather refresh
ing than otherwise. Bayard Taylor's Travels.
Georgia, and the Abolitionists. Govenor
Johnson, of Georgia, lately sent a message to
the Legislature, transmitting the resolutions
passed by the General Assembly of Vermont
n relation to Kansas. I he governor ttenoun-
ce3 the Abolitionists of the North, endorces
the principles of squatter sovereignty, speaks
of outrages against the rights of the South,
and tells the Legislature they must prepare for
the worst, and place the State in the safest at
titude for self-preservation. The proceedings
in the two Houses, when the V ermont resolu
tions came up for action, were rather rich.
Some of the members wanted to send them
back, accompanied with a leaden bullet, a
charsre of srunpowder, and a coil of rope; oth
ers desired that the Governor be requested to
transmit them to the "deep, dark and fetid
sink of social and political iniquity from which
they emanated," with the inscription that
"Georgia heeds not tin; ravings of hell born fa
naticism." Another resolution was offered in
the Senate, recommending the President to
employ a gangof laborers todig a ditch around
the Green Mountain State, and float the thing
into the Atlantic." The resolutions, however,
were finally referred to a committee.
Lutherax Cucp.cn Mission. The Evangeli
cal Lutheran Church are making the prelimi

the founding of an institution for the purpose
of qnalifving pious people of color to labor as
