A few (Jays since it was stated that Governor Brown, of Florida, had vetoed the hill to provide for the final removal of the Indians of Florida, and for other purpo ses," which passed the Senate January 11, and the house January 12. It appears that the bill was reconsidered by both houses and passed again, notwithstanding the Governor's veto, by the requisite con stitutional majority, and has accordingly become a law. The assembly proceeded to elect the commanding officer of the brigade of State troops provided to be rais ed in this act, and Major A. G. Johnson, of Hamilton, receiving 34 votes out of 43, all the others being blank, was elected. The Floridian says the Governor will proceed at once to raise the regiments to compose the brigade, and tender them to the federal irovernment, accordion to the requirements of the law, so that in case the United States refuse tu comply with their obligations to undertake to remove me liHiiatis oy xne-mnn "iirra ncrxii me State may be in readiness to do the busi ness herself." JV. Ir. Express. Consumption. Two or three years ago, says the Scientific American, experi ments were made by members of the Lon don Faculty of Physicians in different hos pitals, for the cure of diseases of the lungs, by breathing in warm medicated vapors. The success of the experiment was so gratifying that an institution, Hrompton Hospital, for the cure of con sumption, was immediately established, and so favorable has been the reult of the treatment, that the number ol patients admitted during the past year is between two and three thousand, and the hospital report shows that full seventy-five in eve ry hundred have been completely cured. South Caiiolina Gold- During the month of January, eight hands employed in the mine of Mr W in. Dome, in Abbe ville and Edgefield districts, S.

The aggregate yield of gold since the commencement of work in the mine, about 10 months ago, has been. upwards of $200,000. A New R.wlkoad I mphovkmknt. From the daily working of a model engine and railroad in the rot undo of the Capitol, it seems to be very generally agreed that this invention is destined to work a wonder ful change in railroads. It is the plan ol James S. French, of Virginia, by which, using the driving axle of the engine for a fulcrum, he gives to the engine unlimited adhesion and graduates the required quan tity to a pound. The facility with which this is produced, or entirely thrown oil, the engine then differing in no way from those on the common plan, in the great feature of the invention; and the means by which it is done is among the most simple of all mechanical contrivances. The effective power of the present lo comotive engine is limited by its weight; on Mr French's plan it is limited by its capacity to generate steam, ami is always ready to work up to that capacity, pos sessing a certain supply of adhesion at all tunes, and it being almost impossible lor the machinery to get off the track, it not only renders practical, certain, and easy, the'working of grades never before thought of, but must lead to the introduction of lar cheaper roads, and far lighter machine ry, even to railroads not exceeding in cost the common plank road. This invention is conceded to be entirely original, and is remarkable for its simplici ty. It meets with great favor, ami attracts great attention. The most practical and scientific men in both houses of Congress have pronounced in its favor; the practical men of the North were the first to give it their unqualified approbation. Washing ton Union The tf ay of the transgressor is hard as the thief said while fleeing over the frozen ground. THK PRESIDENT ELECT. Gen. Pierce being expected to arrive at the city of New Yoik tu the latter part of last week, the Common Council made ar rangetafents for his reception, which were communicated to him by its Clerk. The following is Gen. Pierce's'reply declining the proposed reception: Concord, (N. H.,) Feb. 5, 1853. My Hear Sir: I had the honor to receive jour letter of the 4th instant, and wn it a copy of the proceedings of the city au thorities of New York, iivtitin" me to ac-crept-tWe wuBpilii.5 ol incHtSly, . m- my wav to the seat ol Government. I Ix Mr you to communicate to the Mayor, and the coordinate branches of the City Govern ment, for their marked kindness and prof- lereu hospitality, my grateful acknowledg ments. Under these circumstances it would have been extremely pleasant to avail my self of the opportunity gracefully tendered to exchange salutations with the citizens of the great emporium of our country, ami to thank them tor the decided manifesta tions of partial judgment with which but a few weeks since, they were pleased to honor me. But, with a weight at my heart which has well nigh disqualified mo lor me inscnarge oi pressing duties connect ed with their interests, I am sure they will hardly expect my consent to any thing like a public reception on my way to Washington. Suffering to some extent from the want of usual health and elastic ity, I need repose, and I have full confi dence that my friends will considerately accord to me, as tar as practicable, seclu sion. With much respect, your ob't serv't FRANK.. PIERCE. John II. Chambers. Esq. Deputy Clerk. &c. New York City. PRESENTS TO GEN. PIERCE DESCRIP TION OF HIS INAUGURAL SUIT. The Concord correspondent of the New York Herald, says : Some of Gen. Pierce's liberal personal friends in New England seem determined that he shall go to the White House hand somely equipped, albeit he is as modest and unpretend ing in his habits of living as the average of "mankind in general." The Bostonians appear to be riveling with have already announced that some fritnd in that city will present him with an ele gant coach and span of horses on the 21st inst. I learn that others are now prepar ing to donate an elegant suit of clothes, to be completed on Thursday of the present week. A friend who has obtained a peep at the programme tier integumens has furnished me witli a description, which I shall transcribe for the Herald and the edification of the "ton" in New York and Paris. The suit consists of six garments as follows : 1. The fine black dress coat, made from the same cloth wt.;i c.t premium at the last World's Fair in London. Coat superbly lined with satin dechene, linings also of satin. Style about a medium be tween the gravity of age and the foppery of "upper-tendoni.'' 2d. Undress waistcoat of plain black silk : back of satin dechene, and lined throughout with white satin. 3. Full-dress vest of plain white silk, . back and lining of white satin. On the satin lining of the right side are thirty-one stars, representing the States of the Union, forming a circle, wrought in silver. With in this circle of stars is the Anchor of Hope,-worked in gold. Outside of all is an endless circle. Translation of these emblems: "In the Union of the States is our only hope. God watches over the re public eternal be its duration !" On the op posite of the while satin lining is wrought a chaplet of bay leaves, tied at the bottom with a golden knot, outside of which is another circle of gold. 4. Pants of plain black doeskin of the finest material that can be procured. 5. Undress pants uf a plain black, very fine silk and wool mixture. 6. Overcoat of plain black, superbly lined, and made in the lorm of a surtout. This suit is being manufactured by Mr 11. E. Arminglon, Washington street, Boston, a gentleman who is to the tailoring art what Greenough was among sculptors. The embroidery is being executed by a lady of that city. It is intended that the suit shall be the finest specimen ever manu factured in America. STEAM BOATS. Emm a list of Steam Boats owned by the principal cities of the Union which we see grtng the rounds of the papers, we observe that Wilmington is put down a owning 15, and is surpassed by only four seaboard cities in the South, viz: New Orleans 111, Mobile "8, Savannah 27, Baltimore 34. Wilmington, though, is not correctly reported as she has 20 Boats now plving to and from her port, and 2 others not yet ready for service. We are "ratified to observe her position so favor vorable. being considerable ahead of her sister Charleston, which has six times her population. This fact shows the desire as well as the capacity of Wilmington to do an increased transporting business, which is mostly carried on up and down the Cape Fear, thereby rendering the des patch of all goods, which our back country friends should wish to receive through or from her certainly reliable.
