FLOWt DA.--The last advices from Florida bring the report that Gen. Jesup had cap tured 500 Indians, that a treaty had been made, and that Lieut. Leonard had depart ted for Washington, in order to ratify it. WAsHtNroo.-The House at the last dates had resumed the consideration of the Bill from the Senate to enforce the neu trality of the United States in our border .wars. The following extract front the Cr respondence of the Mercury will be found interesting. "Some sensation, and I may say some alarm, prevails here, in regard to the state of things on the Northern frontier. The Britih Government have taken measures to send into Canada a very large force, and the state of'nilitary preparation nlow existing is very formidible, in comparison with any thing which can be brought to meet it, on this side of the line. The movesncnts of American citizens in favor of time Revo lutionists, appear to have been simultaneous and organized, though secret in Vermont, New York and Michigan. It now appears that this American force is to rendezvous at Detroit, & that the descent upon Canada is to be made on the 22d Febuary. In some parts of the country, the forces enlisted in the eaterprize have their arms ready, butso concealed, that they cannot he taken withou search, which is not pertmiitted by the present laws. An Express arrived here to-day from Detroit, bringing letters front Detroit dated 11th February, eiming that the troops of Genmeral Van Rensselaer which were dis persed from Navy Island, were re-assemn bled, and that their forces had been augmnen ed by Volunteers from every town and village, & well provided with arms, packed and represenmed as mierchandize. That we shall he exposed to some collision with our Canada neighbors, appears very probable, though I do not think with Mr. Whittlesey, that there is (.koger of our being involved in flagrant war with Great Britain in a month from this time. I iave understood that, within a few weeks, letters have been re ceived from McDuflie, of South Carolhua, and from distinguished citizens of other see tions of the Union, expressing apprehension of the result of the unlawful enterprizescon mienced bmy our citizens on the Northern frontier, and urging Congress to mnake every proper effort to avert a war with G. Bfritain The danger of collision with Great Britain. is ten times greater now, than it was when rheac. -1hters were written. No one will deny that it is the (tily of hc Cov.roniint f.itlifully to maintain its nentral obligations, and to enforce them by all honorable and constitutional means. But the means of doing it, without invading the rights of in dividnals, is tihe subject of somie difference of opinion in the Hlouse. The siject was dlebated all (lay iti time Iouse, and no comn elusioni was arrived at in regard to it."' Mr. Adams has beeni at his old business oif preseniting Petitions from all sorts of per sons, and all sorts of phces, and uponi all sorts of subjeets. All howe'ver, we believe, hmad sonie bearing iipon thme Great Slavery qutestions. It wvas the Slave holder whto was aimedl at, Ithroughmout.

By comparing the last half year's account with those of the preceding half year, ending 30th of June last,it will be seen that while there has been a gain in the down ward freights of $32.22503 There has been a loss in the receipt for passengers-of 11,121 6'2 The quantity of embarkment in the last half year is quite a much as was expected when the July report was made-and its progress gives assurance that the whole may de completed by October next; there being sufficient force under responsible con tractors to have it done by that time. The whole extent to 130 embarked, not exceeding twenty-five miles. all parts of which are in progress-in detached spaces all through the line, and divided among twenty-five different contractors, with 20 to one hundred hands each. so distributed its not to interfere with each other. Nine Milo Bottom, Four Hole Swamnp, Polk Swamp, Cattle Creek, and Edisto River Swamp, besides many extensive high places on the upier division of the road. are all about com leted-from the hundreth mile upwards, (36 miles) there is not three miles in extent to be embanked; and by July next cis believed there will - not he over three or four miles high work to be finished. The embanktnent yet to be made is esti mated by the superintendant of the road at 745,000 yards at a cost of 20 cents per yard will arnount to 149,000. Many improvements have been made and others are in progress. The number of ~turns out fins been increased. tracks have been extended to make room for receiving and delivering freight. Several eight-wheel freight and baggage Cars have been com pleted, and two large passenger Cars ca pable of carrying 40 passengers each, have been built since July. The power of the road has been fully equal to the business o.ffered, except Cotton down, %% hile the rivers were too low for steam boat naviga tion. The following extract is highly in teresting as it proves the great certainty and safety of this mode of transportation. It is a source of nuch satisfaction that we have been able to perform the trip with passengers through each way daily with as little imconventience, thus far, this winter, as m the summer months; starting at 6 A. M. and arriving frequently by half-past four to five P. Ml. This gives assurance that when the new iron is on the whole length of the road, the trip maybc performed between sunset in the shortest days. It has been found practicable to make the run through in the most severe weather, in storms and freshes, when the travelling on the common roads was entirely broken Ut, and when the mails did not reach the city on other routes for several successiv days, our ears Caine in and went outi, losing but a single trip from these causes for the season. A source of much greater satisfaction is in the fact that a passenger's life has not yet Jeon lost upon our rond, although ihe num her carried upon it, the last seven years, has been nearly equal to the whole white popu lation of the State; and in the last year, ex ceeding the whole population of tie city, being nearly 42,000. No other mode of conveyance over the same distance, ever presented eqnal safety to passengers. In making these retmearks, we hive not forgotteit the loss (if severail lives of' those in the comipa ny's service; every mansn is taketn to render their safety ats perf'ect ats thtat of the passengers.

I have recently examined two new school books: an English Grammar awl a School Geography,by R. C. Smith, the well known Author of "Practical and Mental Arithme tic" so decidedly popular in our schools, and I avail myselfofyour useful paper to re commend these works to Teachers through out the country, and to private families, in which the instruction of their own children is undertaken. These works are formcd on principles, that render them easy, simple, and philosophical means of useful inwtruc tion to the youthful mind. The Geography, so far as I have looked int- its pages, in re ference to the SouthernStates,is far removed from any thing objectionable, as our domes lick institutions are regarded. This cannot he said of similar works now in common use Allow me also to recommend the ser tnous of the Rev. Dr. Waylar.d, to rour readers, on the moral law of accumulation, works of real excellence a'id worthy of re peated and serious rending. They tainttii practical thoughts, and wise directions, clothed in perspienons ad beautiful lan guage, at the moderate price of 23 ets. for the two in pamphlet form under one cover. They may be had at the store of Messrs. Geo. L. & E. Penn, &Co. The Geog raphy and EnglisiL Grammar, oy R. C. Smith may be bad at the different stores in this place. - Respectfully W. B. JOHNSON.

S., inelation to the manner in which the American authorities have observed the neu trality of their Government upon the Nia gara frontier, is published and contains some matters of interest. The following is the letter of Gen. Scott: "To the Commanding Officer of the armed British vessels in the Niagara." Head Quarters, United States Army, Eastern Division, Two miles below Black Rock, Jan. 15th, 1838. Sir-With his Excellency the Governor of New York, who has troops at hand, we are here to enforce the neutrality of the U. - S., and to protect our own soil and waters frot violation. The proper civil officers are also here to arrest, if practicable, the leaders of thmex pedition on foot against U. Canada. Under these circumstances it gives me pain to see the armed vessels mentioned an chored in our waters, with the probable in-. temition to fire upomn thmat expeditiotn moving within the same waters, Unless that expe dition shull first attack, in which case we shall interfere,we shall he obliged to consider a discharge of shot or shellsfroin or into our waters, from the armed schooners of her Majesty. as an act seriously compro nitting the nentrality of the two nations. I hope therefore that no such urnpleasantinpi dent may occur. I remain. sir, respectfully, Your most obedient, (Signed) WVINFIELD SCOTT." To which Lieut.

Subseqtuently, in relation to this corres pondence, Col. McNah wrote an angry and almost ahnsive letter to Gen. Scott, protest ing against his interference, blaming the Amterican authorities, aid saying that, in his opinion, they had it right to stop the larcelona, any where o the river, and that "had it not beenm for an unfortunate misap prehension of the orders given by CGpt. Drew to the officers in command of the sclooners, that right would assuredly hace Len exercised. In cocluiioi, he albtdes to the 'outrage' of firing tpon Lieut. Elmsicy's boat from Grand island.
