Jlie Florida Rail Road.
Reports hav* reached upfront various sources, j
concerning,:! misunderstanding ??r controversy
that has occurred between Governor I'eiry, of'j
Florida, and Col. George. W. Call, respecting j
the Florida Rail Road Company.
As Gov. iVrv?like many of hi-, constitn- j
ents?is a Souih Carolinian, and a- the Roads
which are affected hv litis controversy are i
watched with anxious interest hv many readers
in this city and S'a'e, we give the following e.\' j
planation of lite matters at issue, as furnishul
by a correspondent of the Tallahassee Flori ;
dian :? Charleston Co nrier.
The act generally known as the internal iw j
provement law, provides among otlic-r tiling, |
tiiat a line of rail road from Feruaitdina to j
Tatnpa Bay, with a branch to Cedar Keys, are |
table improvements to he aided hy the inter- !
i^li iioprovement fund. The Florida Rail R >ad ;
'Company have undertaken to build this line of j
Toad, and its branch, and have availed ilium*
selves of the benefits of the internal improve inent
luntl. Governor Perry therefore insists
that'they shall simply carry out in good faith j
'that undertaking, and in order to economize and
iprotect the public funds as far as practicable, he
contends that the location of the road should he
be made upon the most direct route from Kcrnandina
to Tampa Bay, fixing the point oi di
vergruce for the branch to Cedar Key at such
place upon the main line as will b?t subserve
the interests of the greatest number of the
people.
To this end the Governor insisted thru a part
of the road Lad been impnopcrlr located, that
instead of running upon the West side of Fame's
Prairie, it should have been located to run upon
'the East side of the Prairie and fix the point of
divergence for the branch to Cedar Key, at or
near Micaimpy, would shorten the road to
Tampa 10 miles, and add to the length of the
Cedar Key branch only 4 mib-s, making a clear
saving to the fund of l lie entire cost of 12 miles
of road, or about (*2(bJ,0()<>) three hundred
thousand dollars. The Company, however,
declined to change the location as desired by
Gov. .Perry, and in lieu thereof, proposed to
commence the work upon the Tampa road at
u?c<r, c?i u I'UI i u.n {MI i HI it lini'i'ti w " IUIIII
ithe points of Hatchet's Creek ami Micauopy
'under immediate contract, &c. I understand,
however, that the company, through Mr. Call,
have denied making any such proposition, or
having entered into any agreement with (J"v.
Perry, or otherwise placed themselves under
any obligations to build the roid to Tampa, as
alledged ; and this constitutes the issue betw een
the parties.

Below we give some important intelligence
from Salt Lake, received hy way of Carson

main fact appears to be that troops attempted

who had assumed command of the troops, retired,
anJ in a few days despatched Col. Alex,
at.der, with tweuty-eight dragoons as an escort

then retreated a short distance to Sulphur
;"Springs and took the Sublette cut off around
to tbe north of Salt Lake to Bold Elder, from
which Messrs. Middleton and Pearson started
December 12th. Col. John-ton was there at
the time with the second and third dragoons
and light artillery, seven six pound and five

Snow and St.ust.?On Thursday night,
savs the Greenville Patriot, commenced the
n: tsi (HPniorauiu season espei iinrceu ior-many
years in thisregion. .-Snow .began. falling diy
ingthe night, am! wis sunn followed liy a
continued sleet, which lasted until Saturday
morning, robing the forest and the village in
the silvvry sheen < f winter. The view presented
to the eye <?l one who looked upon it n< a
display of grandeur, was surpassingly b<auiifill.
On every hand nought was to be seen but
the ice sheeted trees with their myriads of stalactites
.'waving to and Iro, and almost jingling
as they swavod. To the eve of the imaginn
live, it presented the idea of some magnificent
and extensive fairy grotto.
.Many valuable fruit trees have been utterly
destroyed Shade trees, on which we have gazed
year after year, rapt with their fair proportions
and luxuriant foliage, are now trailing
in the du^t. Under the accumulated weight
?f their icy apparel, limb by limb they have
fallen to the earth'; ami that which was a few
days ago the pride of our village and thecyito.
sure of those who love the beautiful, is now
an unsightly object, scarred from top to root,
and in manv cases struck to the earth. Valu
able hedges have been rendered almost worth*
less. 'I'he forest walks give terrible evidence
of the power <>f the Ice King; and in many
places the roads were barricaded with broken
limbs and fallen trunk*.
Few of us slept unbroken slumbers on Fiiday
night. The sound a$ of rattling musketry
and the distant booming of cannon, as limb
after limb parted from its parent stem and
struck the ground, indicated unmistakably the
work of destruction that was going on without.
The damage that has accrued cannot, of course
be reckoned in dollars and cents?it is incalculable
; and it will task the ta?te and labor of

The situation of this institute n is delightful?in a
moral and intelligent community, where the Student i<

The Rules of Discipline are most admirable, and

The doctors suppose that theie mu*t be, at
least, twenty more still lodging in the loi'c-part
of lite head, under the frontal bone, and just
between lite eves, or more terhnieally, in the '
frontal sinus. Tile entire load pPUetratod the
skull at the right temp-Jo and lodged at the
point above indicated, passing, it is thought,
between the brain and the bone. His oimlition

Tickets or Certificates of Packages of Tickets.
I'lie country is flooded with bogus and swindling
Lotteries. Kvery inducement is held out to get
persons to invest money in them. Capital Prizes
of front J-'O.OOO to Forty thousand head their
scheinrs-wilh tickets at Oil" Dollar. O 10 hundred
thousand dollar Capital PriZ' S are offered, ticket.,
.llorc All curl. or.,
frauds, am! if'moroy is sent to ihem for tickets,
it is >o mucli thrown away without the shadow of
a chance of getting a prize. Beware of all Lot.
terics where the Capital Prize is unusually large
in cutiiparison to t!ie price ol tickets. In every
instance where large prizes are off- red f.r a sindl
cost of tickets, put it down as a c riain fraud. j
Tiie Kentucky Slate Lottery tor the h-ee-iit of.
the Shelby College, under our management, is I
tin' only Lattery in the United St ;ten which j
is legally decided by the .Maryland Drawings : a'l I
other Lotteries which purport to be decided by the

No one has a right to scud his individual certificates,
and if lie docs it, lie sure there is a fraud
