FROM FLORIDA.
it stem from an extract from the Wakulla
tim ol the 6th inst., that Gen. Twiggs, com
manding officer in Florida, differs in opinion
with the Secretary of War in regard to the late
outbreaks in Florida, and the intentions of the
Indians; and that he has mustered the volun
teers into the service of the United States.
The Floridian of the 8th, says that the general
oniniou is, that there is going to be trouble with
the Indians, and the only way to get rid of them
is to remove them to the west by force.
It seems that the very worst luck attends ev
ery move of the government in Florida. During
the last war there ia 1S37, thousands of dollars
worth of property was lost by accident or care
lessness; and now, the very first steamer, Mary
KingsHnd, chartered and seut from New Orleans
with horses and mules for the service, after get
ting into Florida, burst her boilers and scalded
them so badly that they had to be thrown over
board to the alligators.
The Florida Sentinel states that Gov.
Moselej- has negotiated a loan, on his pri
vate credit, of 20,000 from . one of the
banks of Charleston, to secure the pay

three columns of this paper, but we can give all
the material points in less space :-

w as left to the governor to decide, ana , gt . f Frenchman A Port . re
sident of Mexico, for indemnification for damages
sustained by him from the acts of certain agents
of the army, during the Mexican war. We
learn by another source, that Mr Port purchas
ed a parcel of tobacco, which was taken from
some one and sold by the Americans. He after
wards sold it ct a profit, and the second purcha
ser sold it again, &c.v Colonel Childs, afterwards
restored it to the owner, and gave back the pur
chase money. On the application of Port to Gen.
Scott, in command, for damages, a military Court
of Inquiry was convened, and the claim was
rejected. "1
Mr Buchanan, continues the Republic, never
answered the note of Mr Poussin; and when Mr
Clayton came into office, he found it among "the
unfinished business." After investigation, he
wrote to Mr Poussin that he could not admit the
claim as just, particularly after the decision of
the Court of Inquiry. Mr Poussin, not yet satis
tied, addressed another note to the Secretary of
State, reviewing the grounds of the decision of
the Court of Inquiry, and animadverting very
severely upon the evidence of an officer of the
army before the Court almost charging him
with perjury. Mr Clayton replied to this last
note, and again received another from Mr P.,
which the Republic says was highly offensive to
the American government. This letter was sub
mitted by Mr Clayton to the President. Mr
Poussin was therefore requested to repair to
Washington. Having arrived, he was informed
that the following passage in his note was offen
sive, and he would be permitted to withdraw it:

indecorous boasting had selected Mr Rives

A GOOD PLAN. An excellent plan has been
adopted in -England, for the saving of great an
xiety a well as time. The name of the person
vtho in.uls a letter to another is written on the
hack of the letter, or is engraved on the seal.
Then, in case the letter does not reach its desti
nation, (from whatever cause,) it is immediate
ly m.iiled back to the writer instead of being
sent to the dead letter office. Everybody should
;ulopt this plan except when private reasonrs ex
ist for not doing so.
Qr3- Some one started a report that the newly
elected Governor of Texas, P. H. Bell, was a
whig ; and all the whig papers copied it with as
much avidity as a shark would seize " a man
overboard." Rut it turns out that Mr Rell is a
democrat; and so far, not one of those papers
lut t he National Intelligencer, have made the
correction. That is the way they give their
readers the netcs or enlighten them.

LOOK OUT FOR No. 1 ! When Gen. Presi
dent Taylor went on hi tour," and got in
among the ironmongers of Pennsylvania, they
took him aside and told him that since the tariff
of 1812 had been repealed, and that of 18 1G en
acted, they could not sell their iron; that it had
got down in price to 20 per ton, and the Eng
lish iron had also depreciated so much in price
that it could be brought over here and sold lower
than the American. (At the same time the
scamps knew they were telling a story, for the
whig paper at Pittsburg, the American, in its
market table, gave the sales of iron, none of the
different sorts being as low as $20 mostly $25.)
Ah ! says the President, after listening to their
wof'ul narrative, well I always thought the tariff
of IS 16 was inadequate to protect many valuable
interests. The tax on iron by the tariff of 1846
is only $30 on every $100 worth brought into
the country and always thought the change sf
the tariff of 1S42 unfortunate to many valuable
interests of the country, &c.
Somebody suggested to him that the South
would kick at an attempt to raise the tarft
Well, says he, " who cares?" (A very summary
way of disposing of troublesome customers.)
The whigs are such good natured people, that
they want a tarifl that will relieve everybody that
is in distress. Everybody must be " protected;
and the dolts never once reflect that if they go
to making special acts to protect everybody, no
body will be protected ; so it is as long as it is
short at last.
If any body wants a tariff that will tax imports
higher than the present one does, we think they
must be crazy. If the whigs merely oppose that
tariff becauee they think it suits the democrats
they may stop their opposition, and claim it as
their own; for the democrats only took it as
Hobson made his choice, because they could do
no better. The leading democrats in Congress
and out of it, never were pleased with the pre
ent tariff, and the only reason they defend it,
and say as much in its favor as they do is, be
cause the whigs are always abusing it (for want
of better employment) and threatening to re
peal it. - -
" The Government of the United States must
be convinced that it is more honorable to acquit,
fairly, a debt contracted during war, under a
pressure of necessity, than to evade its payment
by endeavoring to brand the character of an hon
est man."
Mr P. did withdraw the offensive passage, and
the whole affair was dropped.
Again in May last, continues the Republic, the
French Minister, Mr Poussin, addressed a note
to fhe Secretary, Air Clayton, saying that Com
mander Carpender, of the U. S. Navy, after as
sisting a French ship off the Bank of Riso, in the
Gulf of Mexico, had advanced claims for salvage,
(or remuneration for saving her) which were
wholly inadmissable ; but that after detaining
the ship two or three days, gave her up on the
remonstrance of the American Consul at Vera
Cruz; that the Secretary of foreign affairs of the
French Republic (M. de Tocqueville) had in
structed Mr Poussin to address the American
cabinet the most serious observation on the abuse
of authority committed by Commander Carpen
der. in detaining the ship.
Tli is note was referred to the Navy Depart
ment, from which was furnished Com. C's ac
count of the matter, showing that he and his
men had worked all night to save the ship, and
did save her, and therefore considered that they
were entitled to salvage. Mr Clifford, the for
mer Attorney General, and Mr Johnson, the pre
sent one. both decide that he
salvage.
The explanations or statements of Commander
Carpender did not satisfy Mr Poussin, and he ad
dressed another letter to Mr Clayton, saying that
Coin. Carpenter's explanations w ere not of a na
ture to dispel the discontent which his proceed
ings had caused to the French Government.
That the doctrine he'd by Com. Carpender, and
apparently approved by the American cabinet,
was strange doctrine, and he protested against it
iu the name of his government.
On receipt of this letter, continues the Repub
lic, the President of the United States determin
ed to lay before the French government the
correspondence, wrhich was done by the American
Minister on the 7th of July last. The French
Secretary of Foreign Affairs (Mr de Tocqueville)
declared that he saw nothing in the correspon
dence calling for the interference of the French
government ; that there were recriminations on
both sides. The President of .the United States
considering this an approval by the French gov
ernment of the conduct of M. Poussin, or at least
a carelessness of giving satisfaction, informed Mr
P. that this government would hold no further
communication with him.
Here is the end of the matter as far as public
ly developed. It does not make certain or ne
cessary a hostile collision with France. In fact it
is now stated that the French Government have
decided to recall Mr Poussin, and have appoint
ed Mr Montholon in his place. The Union says:
Some persons believe that the French
government have complained of the appoint-
do not know that he was ever in political
l-f ' 1 ... . .
nie in r ranee ; but he was selected as the
French representative to the United States
on account of his republican sentiment?,
by the provisional government under La
martine, soon after the flight of Louis
Philippe.
In the year 1810, Napaleon. in the
height of his grandeur, was walking with
one of his Marshals, in the Louvre. He
was struck with a battle picture of merit,
and inquired who was the artist. He was
told that Poussin was the painter that he
was dead that he had left a widow and
two sous, in extreme poverty, and well
worthy of his notice. Remind me of this,
at a proper time, returned the Emperor.
Subsequently, the Marshal brought the
subject to the Emperor's attention, and
suggested that there was a vacancy in the
Polytechnic School. Napoleon directed
that William Tell Poussin should fill it.
M. Poussin left the school with distin
guished credit and served in the army un
til after the battle of Waterloo.
He was compelled to retreat to this
country, very poor, as indeed he is now.
He came to this city, and was glad to
take employment under M. Latrobe, the
Superintendent of the Public Buildings, at
a very low salary. Here, he was known
to, and hospitably treated by our most
respectable citizens.
Subsequently, Gen. Bernard, who had
also been a pet of Napoleon, came here,
and was appointed Chief of Engineers. M.
Poussin was taken into his family, and
into the U. S. service, in the Topographi
cal Engtneeis, with the rank and pay of
Captain.
Gen. Bernard, as all know, returned to
France, under the best auspices. He took
with him Capt. Poussin. For a time, Mr
Poussin was friendly to the government,
and iu some way, attached to the person
of Louis Phillippe. But circumstances
threw him into opposition to that monarch.
He was a participant in the revolution, and,
under the Provisional government, he was
appointed Minister to the United States,
alter the appointment had been tendered
to, and declined by, Mr De Stute 1 racy.

ment of Mr Rives as minister to that couu

fore, to refer to the circumstances which
have caused the belief that Mr Rives' s
mission to France would be displeasing to
that nation. During General Jackson's
administration that gentleman was sent to
France, and intrusted with the negotiations
relative to the indemnity due from that
government to the United States. His
despatches relative to those negotiations
were of such a character, as to call forth
the denunciations of the whig party of
that day as deliberate insults aimed at the
French nation. Indeed, no American
minister was ever denounced with as much
vehement bitterness as that which the whig
leaders employed in denouncing the man
whom they have now sent to represent us
at St. Cloud. A prominent whig speaker
stigmatized one of his communications as
the horse-jockey despatch." And that
despatch was regarded by the French
statesmen as so insulting that, if we mis
take not, one of them in the French Cham
bers spoke of "placing the money in one
scale for the honor of France, and the
sword in the other for the honor of
France also." We confess, therefore, that
we were somewhat surprised when it was
announced that the same party which

The Washington Union makes a serious charge

it appears to sustain by facts: The crnrsre is,

the " Heroic Age") that the Postmaster General
and the Secretary of the Interior (Messrs Colla
mer and Ewing) have appointed extra clerks, or
i clerks for whose appointment there is no law, or
provision for their payment, and which appoint
ments are directly in the face of the law of 26th
August, 1S42, the 15th section of which, as quo
ted by the Union, declares as follows:
Sec. 15. And be it further enacted, That no
extra clerk shall be employed in any department,
bureau, or olhce, at the seat of government, ex
cept during the session of Congress, or when in
dispensably necessary to enable such department,
bureau, or othce, to answer some call made by
either house of Congress at one session to be au-
swered at another; and not then except by order
of the head of the department in which, or in
some bureau or office of which, such extra clerk
shall be employed ; and no such extra clerk, for
copying, shall receive more than three dollars
per day, or for any other service more than four
dollars per day, for the time actually and neces
sarily employed.
That the appointments have been made is not
denied; but the excuse is that the increased
amount of business makes them necessary. Rut
the Union alleges that competent men have been
removed from office and incompetent ones put in
their places. And so notorious is this that the
new recipients have in some cases offered a part
of their salaries to the old clerks to stay and
learn them tfie duties.
These appointments wre made it appears with
the understanding on the part of the persons ap
pointed, that there was no fund from which they
could be paid ; and that they would have to re
ceive scrip, or in other words an acknowledge
ment f services performed and money due from
from the Department, until the meeting of Con
gress.when provision would be made. Of course
the clerks are forced to sell the erip to brokers
and Shylocks. at an exorbitant discount; and
when Congress meets, they must pay it, or re
pudiate the act of the head of department.
We know that it has been the practice of the
Government to- employ extra clerks, but we
think they were always, or at least generally
paid out of a " contingent" fund given to every
department, for this and other purposes.
The Union publishes a copy of one of these
evidences of debt issued by the Department. It
is signed by "J. Marron. agent for paying salaries
in the Post office Department," and of course
evidence of the employment of extra clerks, and
the issue of scrip.

THE COTTON CHOP.
Louisiana. -The Feliciania Whig of the

accounts are brought us of the ravages of
the Army Worm. The destruction of the
cotton crop in this region is almost total.
Intelligent planters assert the opinion, that
within eight or ten days, the last ball of the
growing crop will be opened. If this be
the case, the picking season, just commenc
ed, may be regarded as halt finished."
lheuatou Rouge Gazette ot the loth,
has the following : The caterpillars are
causing damage to the cotton crops. In
many places in bast and Wet beticiana,
the cotton is completely destroyed,' not a
leal being left on the stalks and all the
young bells completely decayed On ac
count ot the mclemencv ot the weather
there would not have been much more than
half a crop and since the catterpillars
have made their appearance, the prospect
i i
is gloomy inueeu.
Texas. The Huntsville Banner says :
It is now reduced to a certainty that
the cotton crop ot this state is to be taken
by the worms. They have probably ap
peared in every section of the country by
this time. All the crops upon the Trinity
below this, were destroyed last week : so
were also the crops on Lake Creek, and in
the neighborhood of Montgomery. The (
worms did not make their appearance in
this county until a few days ago. They
have by this time finished the work of
destruction here."
The Houston Advertiser adds :
" We regret to hear the worm is ravag
ing many plantations. In addition to the
injury done to the crop of cotton, they de
crease the value of the staple. Besides,
the cotton picked after worms, is always
trashy. No care on the part of the plan
ter, can prevent it."

Facts Worthy- of Notice. It is a
fact that nine-tenths of the immates of our
poor houses were brought thete, directly
or indirectly by the use of ardent spirits.
It is a fact that three-fourths of all the
convicts in our State prisons were hard
drinkers previous to the commission of the
crimes for which they are now imprisoned.!
it is a tact, that the greatest suite re rs
from disease, and those whose maladies
are the most difficult to cure, are those
who are addicted to the use of ardent spirits.
It is a fact, that of atl who commit sui
cide in this country, ninety-nine hun
dredths are the immediate or the remote
victims of ardent spirits.
It is a fact, that in all families where
the children are dirty, naked and ill-fed,
the rooms filthy and in disorder, the hus
bands idle, discontented and peevish, the
wives slatterns, ill-tempered and quarrel
some, one, if not both the parents are
drinkers of ardeut spitits.
It is better to-be alone than in bad com
pany. Have good associates or none.

- From the Charleston Mercury.
"Earth holds one angel less: Hath mourning given
One seraph more, to swell the choir of heaven?'
Tranquilly relinquished her terrestial for a
celestial home, on Wednesday the 12th instant,
Mary F., youngest daughter of John M. and Ce
cilia M. Corcoran, aged 3 years, 1 inontn and 13
days. Gifted witfi a most affectionate disposi
tion, true amiableness of character, and sweet
ness of expression, she was endeared to all who
knew her, and bequeathed, through her untime
ly death, to a bereaved family, the memory of her
innocence and loveliness, to be long cherished
and remembered.
' Whoever marked thine eye of heavenly blue.
Nor thought the skies would claim their kindred
hue ?
Whoever bent that full fair brow to press,
And viewed thy more than earthly loveliness
But, gazing, felt that Death, whose ruthless
scythe.
Singles the fairest form, the heart most blythe
Would never pass that beauteous blossom by.
But send the budding flower to bloom on high."

Produce comes in slowly, and prices keep well
up. Corn has declined a little. Cotton we put
up to 10 cents. There is n-o other change of im
portance. River still low, but boats running.
WT LM INGTON M A RKET. Sales of country
produce have been very limited; but little arriv
ing in consequence of the low stage of the River;
were it not for the bustle made in landing good
from some two or three packets lately arrived,
we might sjy that business is extremely dull.
Turpentine has not varied in price since our
last report sales of some 300 bbls have been
made at 92,23 per bbl. fr yellow dip, and $3. lft
per bbl for virgin dip. A sale of 45 bbls Tar was
made at $1,45 per bbl. A small lot of only 16
bbls Spirits Turpentine was disposed of at 26 cts
