Ve believe that some of those Democrats who voted so long for Richardson would have been willing to '.rave compromised on any NationU man, rather than a Black Re publican should have been elected, but they wanted the moral courage to throw oft' the restraint of party, the chains with which a democratic caucus had bound them. But while we believe that some of the Demo cratic party were honestly desirous of or ganizing the house by the election of a Na tional man Speaker, we think it is clearly evident, and manifest from all the attend ant circumstances, that a large majority of the Democrats were anxious for the election of Banks, the Black Republican, hoping to throw odium thereby upon the American party, being buoyed up," in the language ' of the Rockingham Democrat, with the hope of gani, to their party although the safcty of the Union was endangered.

No sirns of the missing men, neither c. blood nor dead bodies, or even any track j of them were discovered. "The unfortunate party were armed, but owing to the fact that no Indian signs had been discovered in that region since the de monstration of the 20th, they felt quite se cure, believing that the Indians had gone further South, and consequently the attack i was quite unexpected. ! 1 nis startling mttUigence, together with that received from the Miami, speaks too plainly that the ravages are not satisfied, and are determined to prosecute their mur derous operations with an energy entirely unlooked for. "The attack was lead by Okehan, sub chief, who is exasperated at the destruction of his village by the troops, which occurred a short time since." Another letter, from the head waters of Manatee river, says that in anticipation of an attack by the Seminoles, all the citizens upon the head waters of Manatte and Mia mi rivers, with a few others from elsewhere, united and organized a mounted company of volunteers.

Painf ul Accident to Gen. Cass. Between twelve and one o'clock yester- day, as Gen. Cass was descending from the eastern portico of the Department of the In- tJ on 7lh street, he fell down several . nl thn fenc t r the nilfhrnv Int. tnnr. nnn I oi me sieps 10 me miuway lanuiug, a.nu : sustained injuries of a somewhat serious, 'and at first very" alarming, character. Seve ral persons hastened tn moment to 'his side, and found him insensible and bleeding profusely from a nearly predendicular cut over the left eye and ""pertetrati ng to the skull, but without fracturing it, as is believ ed. ' Gen. Cass was promptly conveyed back to the apartments ot the Secretary of the In terior, whither several medical gentlemen. who happened to be in the netghborhood, hastened to his relief. He continued insen- sibl for some time, and, when he began to , . i awake to consciousness, he spoke from 1 : time to time, but verv incoherently.' The wound being dressed and bandaged and res toratives administered, he was placed upon a litter at about half-past one o'clock and conveyed to his lodging at the National Hotel, where the nhvsieians we have allu that he had been in the Patent Office," we should now be in doubt as to whether he was at the time going to or returning from that office. We have seen one gentleman j who saw him falling when upon the fourth step above the landing, and we have the i assurence that another gentleman well known to us saw him when upon the fourth step from the top. Aslhere are eleven steps from the landing of the floor of the por tico, the evidence of the latter warrents the conclusion that he lell down at least seven steps. On that (the southern) side of the stairway there still is ice, because of the exclusion of the sun hv tln.marhla wall. near which Gen. Cass probably walked for the purpose of placing his. hand against it for security and support. It is proper that we should here apprize persons visiting the Patent Office in wintry or unpleasant weather that the enterance to the basement into the eastern wing, from F street is always safe and convenient, and that it is less fatiguing to ascend by the winding stairs within .than by any of the broader ways Without. -Nat. Intel. milliard Fillmore. We have nailed the name of Millard Fill more to out masthead for the 'Presidency in ie"6. We look upon him as the. man for the crisis, and weJmve not the slightest doubt of his election, if he receive the nomination hf the party at their convention on the 22d instant or at any subsequent pe- ! nod. In A.orih Carolina he can get more j votes than any other man upon the top of ; the ground, and we sincerely hope that our people may-enjoy "the satisfaction of casting Ktheir sufieraaes for he whom they esteem so highly, ui course we hoist the name of Mr. Fillmore, subject to the determination of a national convention of our- party : but we believe that he will be the man.' and so be- lieving we can no longer defer the pleasure of saying so in the plainest and most une quivocal manner.

A merchant who is noted for his parsi mony and his outward observance of re ligious forms, compelled one of his clerks, recently, to read the Bible through, when he first entered his service. Soon after, h, took occasion to lecture the clerk for his in 4 I. ...vV J dolence, when the youngster replied that he. was afraid to work very hard in his employ, for fear of losing his situation." The mei chant was struck aghast at this answer, and demanded' in a loud voice, that the young man should inform him instantly how in dustry could prejudice his ' interests with such an employer as himself ? "Why," replied the saucy clerk, "it is plain, from a passage I read in the Bible, that such would be the case.". . 'How, youngster! how docs the B.bh i - ! encourage your laziness? Answer me n.,i,.l- quid Well, it says that he that is diligent in business shall stand befor. Kings ; he shall not stand before mean mf?i." It is needless to say that the young man was looking for a new situation the next day. - We were' exceedingly shocked yesterday, a little after noon, to hear that the venerable and. respected Senator General Cass had met with a severe if ftt fatal accident, in desepding the flight of stone steps at the front of the Department of the Interior, t on Seventh street. The particulars, as far as they could be ascertained, are given in an other column. .' We were relieved in a great measure in the course of the . afternoon of the apprehension at first entertained of a fatal termination to the accident; but it was truly distressing, while the issue was yet in suspense, to r.ee . the venerable- statesman borne JLong the street on a litter, pale, sens- eless, and speechless . At ten o'clock last night, we are, happy to say. he was'4 doing very well, and appearances, indicated that he was out of danger. Nat.
