Courteous and genial to all tho .Represontai tives of tho people, he commands their rospect, While ho at the samo time enforces the i strictest decorum and ordor during tho sessions ol' the I louse.

Wo have only room jr the following: The scene at tho scaffold was painful beond comprehension, and drew tears from vaoy of the Spectators. Charlotte and t 'i'V wcro attended, the first by the llev. J. !. Brown, and the latter by the lievs. Mr. 5ell and Mr. Williamson. They had reiprioua services in the cell till within a few tiinutes before they were removed to the eafTola. Shortly before two o'clock they lift their cell, and linking arms, a proccsion was formed, which entered the jail ard. After cntoring the yard, the parly asetided the scaffold, and took their seats oti hairs, which bad been provided for their ceomniodation. A beautiful and effective rayer was then made by the llev. Mr. ! Irown, after which each made a statement. I !."x read his statement in a clear nudible oice. During its delivery ho seemed greaty affected, and frequently burst into tears, 'harlotte's statement was read by Mr. Wiliainson. Everything was now ready for the eomiletion of the final act of the bloody trageiy, iu which the convicts had played such terrible part. The ropes had been adustcd around the necks of the victims, and nit a few moments were to elapse ere their ouls would be ushered into eternity. Still "ife's coolness forsook hiui not. lie called ucii oi tiicui arouml lain as lie knew upon j he scaffold, and shook thciu affectionately y the hands.

The delegation will commence their lut ies as soon as practicable. In the meanime, in accordance with instructions from Washington, tho troops will be withdrawn Yom the immediate vicinity of Bowlegs' followers, but kept stationed in tho country lojawiu, ior a svuucioin utno t ? demonstrate lie crticacy or fallacy of tliis pacific moveuciit. Should the delegation fail in its oh- j jcct. the troops will push upon the Semi- j uoles with renewed vigor. It is not purposed to give them time for recuperation. In the treaty which will be proffered to Bowlegs and tribe, it is stipulated that the , Seminoles shall receive the guardianship jf the United States govern merit, r thnt for twelve months th diall be fed ami clothed, 1 rnd their expenses paid to their new homes in the West, on the Seminole reservation in ArkanKnD, which lies between the Cherokee und Chock taw nations, and which has been held for them for some time. The government is to pay them, immediately on their arrival at their Western home, two hundred anil fifty thousand dollr rs; besides giving them mechanics, farmers and blacksmiths to instinct thoir children, and twenty-five thousand dollars annually forever. It is possible one hundred thousand dollars or so more may bo given to them as a bonus. This or the exact amount, is not yet determined upon. It is likely that the original proposition of the government to Billy Bowleg*, of ten thousand dollars may be renewed. Success of Sou.tukhn Ma^u^actl'jiINu Kstahmshmkntk.?Mr. J. L.

Three days in each week I ordinarily pass at my rauoho here, threo or four miles from New Iiraunfels, with my family; two days I spend at the Kstaneia, a place of mine, thirty miles west, and where my flocks of sheep arc pastured ; and the other two 1 am on the roads backwards and forwards, my conveyance an old Jersey wngon, with two trusty horses.? There is one gap of eight utiles on the road without a liouso, and another of twelve; yet the way in not lonesome, I never puss over it without feeing an abundance of deer, turk'us, ducks, partridges, und the like; 1. carry alongside of me a double barrel gun, a Shavpe's rifle, and one of Colt's revolvers, and Home kind of game is suro to grace ray wagon both going and coming. My sheep now number some three thousand, and finer flocks you never set eyes upon ; in May I hope to be nblo to count upwards of four thousand, as my lambs conio in April. 1 have, besides, u fine gang of brood marcs, besides some forty cows, and like the elder Mr. Xorval, "to feed my flock and increase my store" is now "my const *nt care."
