VVII vT HAVE TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES DONE 1 This que-tion is very often put to the friends of Temperance, bv persons who are intemperate in their habits, and sometimes by persons who are not really temperate, but not intemperate. We will toil such persons wli.it Temperance has done, and o.i the other hand, wliat I.itemprranee lias done. It will be remembered, that not above ten years ago, when visitors enVced your doors, your decanters were set before them, with the choicest of wine .and spirits, thereby offering a poison to them under the name of trine, cordials, whiskey, runu ghi, 4'r- Is this done now ? No! When the chimney-sweep and his nutter visited yem, to perform their services, gin or other liquors were set before o..,i tiioro u*prp none of those honors ?111' i it mvtv .. w. v - __ . in the house, you set out for them, thus setting an example to your children, deleterious in its effects as that of deadly poison, besides ode ring- a poison to the sweep-master and his boys. Is this done now ? No! On your children's birth days you must have a good barrel of cider or beer tapped, and let your children and their associates get "right down funny," as the " down cast" saying is. Is this done now ? But seldom. In making these statements, we have shown that Temperance has done something in altering the customs of our people, and, besides doing this, it has made many " wretched family happy! made many a drunkard's wife to weep tears of joy! saved many a poor drunkard irons ruin in this and the other world to ccme? and Temperance Societies, by their operations, have convinced many dealers in, and manufacturers of, the "accursed poison," of the immorality of their trade, and caused them to abandon it for " better or worse." Now, wo would ask such persons, "has not temperance done something for us f" None but those already degraded in the eyes of the world, will dare deny the assertion. Now we will proceed to give you a brief detail of what Intemperance lias done. Intemperance has been the death of many hundreds of persons, and thus rendering their wives and children paupers ! It has blighted their fairest prospects in this and the world to come? and finally, those persons thus left have sunk into premature graves, unprepared, and unblessed. A drunkard's grave! Ah, me! " A fearful looking for of the wrath to come." It has been expressly said by our Lord and Saviour," 14 No drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of Eleaven." p. p. A SCOTCiI MOTHER. A clergyman of America, at a public rereligious meeting related the following aneclot?\ illustrative of the power of practical maternal faith: He was at the time the seamen's chapinn, at a southern port. In the course of iutv, he was called to the sick bed of a sailor, appearand)' at the gates of death, from the efleet of his licentiousness. He iddressed him affectionately upon the state ff his soul. With an oath, the s'ck man j.M him begone, and not harrass his dying bed. The champlain, however, told him ilainly that lie would speak, and that he must hoar for his soul was in danger of ?t--run! death. The man,however, remain d suilcn and silent, and even pretended to deep during his faithful address and prayer. \gain and again the visit was repeated vith ill success. One day, however, the >ick man made use of an expression, by -vii'ch the chaplain suspected that he was i Scotchman. To ascertain the fact, the 'hnplnin repeats 1 a vorsc ot mat version ->f tlic Psalms, still in use among the ?! lurches of Scotland. "Such pity as a father hath Unto his children dear; Like pity shows the Lord to such As worship him in fear." The cliords of his heart vibrated to the veil known language. Tears come in his ?ves. The chaplain improved his ad. vantage. Knowing the universality of religion* instruction among the Scotch, he ventured an allusion to his mother. The poor prodigal burst into tears. He admitted himself to be the child of a praying mnf!,,.,. linlnftpn commended him to God. lie had left !?cr long before, to beeonie a wanderer on the face of the gaoat deep. Xo longer he repelled the kind at'emions of t!ic chaplain; and after his recovery, his instructor had the satisfaction of seeing hini give evidence that hs was an humble penitent child of God. The Revenue Crime.? If there he any doubt that our neighbors of Connecticut are better able to " turn an honest penny" out of any thing they undertake, a glance at (heir statis ics will remove it at once. The financiers that can manage to build prison palaces like the one at Wet Ik rsticl 1, and to maintain the entire roguery of the state within its walls at a handsome prof?, to the public, must of course belong to the same race with the two Yankees, who made five dollars a day by swapping jackets with each other. The good old state of Connecticut?is actually making her fortune of her own naughtiness. She has had shut up during the last year, two hundred and seven scoundrels and scoundrelcsses in her s ate prison?none of them sent there for t-K-ir virtues, we believe ; and still, they must be considered among ilio " produc:ive classes"?ihe most productive class, perhaps ; for we find that they earned $7,433 94 the past year, over and above their " boar J, lodging and washing !" What is more, the convicts in that prison have not only paid all the expense of itsccrection, but there is actually a balance ofsix thousand dollars?in their lavor We do hope most sincerly that the good old steady habit state, will not be tempted by this excellent speculation into "overtrading." That is to say, we should be loth to see her increasing her capital, by " borrowing" from her neighbors. She will " break" one of these days if si e docs-?A', Y. Gazelle.

Extraordinary peculiarities of great Composers.?Haydn was one of tiic most quiet composers, and never required st mutants to bis imagination like many others of the profession, hut he had a spiritus familiaris | of another kind.

A Reproof.?A tradesman of much respect, ahih y in a large city, who, from the humble situation of a porter, raised himself by merit and industry, was one day superintending the loading of some packages intended for abroad. One of the assistants ran so far contrary to the directions as to induce him to push the fellow aside, and say, "let me come, for I shall never beat sense into you." The p^er grumbled, and in an under kev exclaimed "you've no reason o be so sharp; you was no better than myself t'other day. This being hnarc! by bis master, he thought it no degrnda ion to reply, "if you mean I was like yru, a porkr you say truly; and, like you, a porter I should have remained, if I bad been afflicted with your idleness, your obstinacy, and your ignorance." Dress.?There is an intemperance in dress which is worth your care to avoid.? Though this foiiv is not of American growth, itagrecs so well with the soil, that it nourishes rather more here than where it first sprung up. Love of dress argues both levity of mind, and effeminacy of manners. It is a vice as well as a folly, as opening a door to ex'ravnganee, which never fails to be attended with ruin; and the prudent never care to deal with a man who must injure them or himself. The fop who came info the presence of Henry VIII. with a hundred tenemenst upon his hack, would have had twice as many hats otf, if he had annually put the rents into his pocket. It is there, fore wisdom to wear such apparel as suits your co.iditior; not sordid and beggarly, or foppish and conce ted; agreeable to what the poet puts in the father's mouth, speaking to his s.iii ofhis habit, which he advised to be neat, not gaudy, or expressed in fancy.

The following letter is from an intelligent officer of the Army, now in Florida. We publish if, as a full and authentic account of die rise, progress and decline, of Gen. Jcsup's Truce with the Seminoles. AMP THLOXOTOSASSA. 12 miles above Tampa Bay. Jt\\E, 8th, 1937. Dear Sir:?Believing that an account of ihc late events here on indubitable authority (as the country is flooded to my knowledge wi h stories and exaggerations respecting occurrences in Fla.) will not be unaccepta. ble, I have determined to employ my earliest convenience since arriving at this posf in giving you a hasty sketch. Making every allowance for the cunning insincerety and ignorance of mora! obligations which mark the Indian character; still it was the general impression in the Army and elsewhere, that the war was terminated, and hat the Indians would emigrate, al.hough they might consult their own conveniencc as to the precise period. The Governor of the nation had come in, wi:h several very influential, chiefs ; they sold their property, their cattle and ponies, min gled peaceable with the Whiles and Creeks, expressed their entire willingness to embark whenever the General desired it, and gave o'.hrr indications of submissiveness. The chiefs who were still out, sent runners frequently, declaring their wish to come in, and that in good time they would do so, but their people were wild and timid, and not easily assembled, and that their property could not be collected in a day, besides the impossibiliiy of moving rapidly a large number of women and children. For ma. ny reasons they were believed,the principal of which is that the head chiefs were in our hands we thought, and the others would not renew the war, while these were hostages. Gen. Jesup is the only person who has believed the Indians deceitful in all their professions ; and his beliet was founded on secret information which is now just hecoming known. It seems that the Mi-cosu-cas for some weeks past have had their war dances, gave up all thought of ever emigrating and resolved to force the chiefs at Tampa into a rupture with the whites. They sent runners to Micconope ordering them to join them, which he refused to do, saying that lie had plejged himself, and he would not violate his word. At length on the 1st insf., some of the Miccosuoas came to the Indian Camp and held a council with the friendly chiefs; the result of which was that they still refused to go out and on the next day visited the Geni. informed him of what had passed,and said they were afraid the Miccosucas would compel them to break the peace ; he desired them to remain at Tampa that night, designing may be to move their camp next day and to afford them protection, but they deemed tliis dangerous, being more afraid to separ. ate from their people than to renew hostilities with the whites. At this period Maj. Graham of my Regiment, who is Indian A gen*. sug'*es!^d *' "i 1 tiers' !?'.<< olnus ! cither of which might h;ive decided the con- j test, which will now continue at least G j months longer. He wished either to surround the Indian Camp with a sufficient force m ambush and when the Miecosucas came, to capture or ex'erminatc them, or wh'ch is better, to remove nil the Indians to Tampa instantly and to occupy iheir ground wi'h troops and give the enemy battle on his appearance. It was a bold, chivalric proposition; worthy of Graham, and with him its executor, would have succeeded eminently well. I would have given five I yt a i of my life to have commanded a company in the service, and though it is said there were Irom 300 to 400 Miceosu- j cas, I would gladly have marched against | them with half their number! Instead of listening to this wise suggestion, the Gene- ( ral sent two Indians to spy the movements J of the Seminoles, and if they saw the Mic-1 cosucas forcing Jumper &c. to go with : them, then to report to Maj. Graham, (10. miles ofH who would assemble his force ] and give pursuit. One of the Indians had a sore foot and they came back without doing any tiling! It is due them however to say that the right before they went on the same service and remained a long time within ten paces ef Micanope's tent. They were all dirinking &c. and no conversation of importance was heard, To continue. The chie fs returned to their camp.? The Miccosucas to the number of 300 or 400 surrounded it and used some threatening language. Miccanopo very boldly stepped out and dared them to fire upon him. It was found necessary to yield and Co-a-coo cho, (little Wild Cat, son to Phillip, and the most talented of all the Seminoles, Gen Jessup says, that he has seen,) and the fearless sub-chief who sent the insolent answer to Bane, when he proposed terms last all, each took Mieanope by an arm and marched him o(T. The rest followed. As was learned by a pursuing party next day, they went about 4 miles and separated into a number of parties. Pre- i viousto moving off. Mieanope sent in by a negro 8240 which he bad borrowed of . I Captain Page and a public horse, and word to the General that he had " a straight , tongue, but could not help going." Several negroes ran into Tampa. Abram remained there when Jesup wished to keep the chiefs, knowing that he would be fore- < ed c fftoo, and he could'nt think ofloosinga I large sum of money which he had deposited, ' besides o'her property. He now declares ' that the Indians have 4000 fig!i:ing men I! , It is said that the main body is about 3 days march from htre, building a town on an is- i land, where they will remain quietly engag- < rd in their own pursuits, until molested by the whites : that they wish to live in peace, but will never yield the land of their fathers, j Micanope is deposed, and Sam Jones or i Abiaca chief of the Miccosucas is elected j Governor of all the Scminoles. This will cause a division in the nation and a civil war may follow. Mo-lo-too-chec, nephew to Miccanope and heir apparent (it being a singular fact that the crown descends in the female line instead of the inalc. I am not ; certain that the practise docs not extend to |' all the Indian tribes. It arose from a very j reasonable doi bt about the certainty or the i descent of blood in the male line) will never ' renounce his claims, and his party is strong. ?Among the sure signs upon which energe'ic measures might have been adop'ed I will mention only two. This -same EIoTotooche sent in his broVen sticks, indicating that ho would come in with .all his people, I on the 3rd. Some days before the ap. | pointed time, the Gen. sent a runner to j him, who discovered that he was moling! no preparation to move in. About a week before the chiefs went ofF,Cloud (Yo-ho-Iocl o ) bought a fine horse. He was friendly & assented to emigrate on any day. What did he want with a horse on board ship? It was remarked, and the Gen. knew it. Doubtless he had good reasons for his course.

Up to i the day of her leaving (22d) nothing in addition to what we have already published in relation to the war, had taken place. We lean from a passenger, that it was the general impression, that all hostilities for the present would cease?that the Indians had all left and fled to the Everglades, South of Fort Mellon and Lake George?thrt they have a large qaantity of r >rn planted, in addition to I i-flru lihpr.il rations which thev received from Government, with ammunition; being more than their immediate wants required, have doubtless laid it by in readiness for the next attack. The insufficiency of the Government force, it is said, will, at this time, prevent any effective move being made nntil the fall, when they will be brought out to arrest, the depredations of the Indians, who are b ut waiting for the whithes to harvest their corn, when they will again renew them. Really we feel for the people of Florida. This accounts for Gen. Jcsup's request to be removed from the campaign. j The Cincinnati Whig, of June 12th says, i in illustration of Mr. Senator Ewing's prediction, tor which ho has received unmeasured abuse: The number of steamboats now out of ac tive employ, on the Ohio river, between Louisville and Pittsburg alone, is estimated at one hundred and twenty-fire; and the Pittsburg Bulletin, a thorough Van-Jack print, gives a list of forty.one, laid up at that place. We have been informed by steamboat captains, that there are more than fifty, at the wharf and vicinity. The Pittsburg editor is compelled to acknowledge this "solitude" and " dreary waste" as follows : " We are sorry to say, such is the limited business now done in the forwarding trade that there is but a poor prospect for those boats leaving our wharves with the usual profitable | i freights."

Where are the numerous boats "for New Orleans" that us td to line our shores at this season of the year? Cast your eyes across the river, and you will find them tied to the shores in Licking, and their crews roaming the streets, out of employ. A new, splendid steamboat, the "Albany," which, last season, could have obtained a load in four or five days, was detained three weeks in gathering up a cargo! And yet, with these facts before them, and the country almost bankrupt, the Administration prints exclaim that " there is no pressure which any honest man should regret."

The Sunday Riot.?Owing to the numerous and conflicting 6tories which were in circulation on Sunday evening, we found it impossible to give in yesterday's paper a circumstantial account of the riot and battle between a portion of the Fire Department and their friends and 6ome of the Irish population of Broad street and its vacinity. We were not present upon the ground until a full hour "^hrt/1 oAmmnnnn/1 on/? fruinrl it im_ auci a uaiuc uau buuiuiv.ubvu| wi? .vuma ? possible to collect, from the thousand different versions of the origin of the affray, any two which agreed in their essential particulars. The first disturbance commenced between some members of engine company No. 20 and a number of Irishmen, who were waiting near East street to form a funeral procession.? One of theenginemen was maltreated, and a fight commenced, but the officers of the engine succeeded in calling off the members, and inducing them to retire to the house. Before they raooimi) it Imtvpvnr. thev wpre set uron by the Irishmen, several of the members severely beaten, and the company overpowered. An alarm of fire was then given, and assistance 9ent for, while the funeral procession formed, and was proceeding onwards through Broad street. The company of No. 0, in proceeding in quest of the fire, turned suddenly upon the procession, near the foot of Summer street, and their iiorse carriage whirled into the midst of it, breaking their ranks, and causing considerable confusion. This was, of course, unintentional. But it was otherwise regarded by the scattered procession, the members of which immediately armed themselves from a woodpile in the v'cinity, and commenced, with hideous shouts, an indiscriminate attack upon the companies. Nos. 6 and 14, who arrived in the vicinity of the funeral immediately after, were also attacked by other parts of the procession, at about the same time. The firemen were beaten down, brushed, and driven from their engine, and several"of them were severely injured. They were, liowe. crquickly reinforced; and a general fight commenced, in which the Irishmen were worsted, and were driven slowly, but gradually, down Broad street. A rush was made by the Irish to obtain possession of Purchase street, and attack the firemen, by showering down stones and brickbats i pon them, from this more elevated situation. But they were pressed upon and driven back - - * -I-J t *1 by their opponents, wno rusneu up irora mt; intervcning streets and alleys, at manifest disadvantage, and regardless of life and limb, driving them back, step by step, sometimes retreating when the Irishmen rallied, or their ammunition was expended, but always regaining their vantage ground, until the latter were driven into Broad street, beyond the corner of Purchase stcet. A house in Purchase street, ntMr Gibb's lane, where several Irishmen had taken refuge, and whence some missiles were thrown, was attacked, and its windows broken; but thi principal work of destruction was car. ried on near the junction of this street with Broad street, and the vicinity. A gang of stout boys and loafers, who had followed the firemen, at such a distance that they might be projected from the dangers, and at the same time participate in the raischiefof the affray, attacked the Irish houses in the rear of the scene of combat, trying to destroy every thing wantonly and recklessly. The i .ine-mi-od thpir r.ontents thrown IIUUM'B HCIC I Uiwitvivvvi, ...... ..... into the streets, and every thing demolished as speedily as possible. Beds, bedding, furniture, trunks, and the contents of two or three small groceries near by, were strewed about, and almost every person seemed engaged in destroying something or other. A number of Irishmen, who had concealed themselves in the cellars, were dragged out, surrounded, and beaten unmercifully with clubs and sticks.? Here every thing was in the hands of the mob. The only redeeming spirit which was discernible among them, was their conduct towards the women and children, who were led out unmolested, no one offering them harm or insult. Purchase street at the foot of Washington avenue, was covered with feathers, emptied from the beds, apparently! several inches in depth.A miscellaneos looking pesonma ?Mth a hrnken wheelbarrow, was ensra "eM - - - . w ged in trundling brick bats from one of the house?, the -chimney of which had been pulled down, to the scene of action. The contest on the part of the Irishmen soon closed. 3/ost of those who attemted to keep up the fight were seized by the firemen and others and conveyed to jail. When the military made their appearance, about three hours after the commencement of ihs affray, the battle was over, and those who were engaged in the destruction of property quickly desisted. No person was killed, although many Twero more or less injured. Mr. Sears, formerly foreman of Hook and Ladder Company No. 2, was severely wounded, but is expected to recover. We heard it mentioned, as a singuler instance of the pugnacity of the Irish who were engaged in the row, that three of them, who had been consigned to the same cell on Sunday evening, having no Yankees to contend with, got to fighting in jail, and had to be sepa rated. WHOLEShLE ROBBERYWe understand t at most of the stores in Covington, (Kentucky,) were broken into last night, by a gang of desperate villian3, and that large quantities of goods were stolen therefrom. Seven of the gang were arrested this morning, and have been committed to jail. We have learned no further particulars. [ Cincrwifi Whig.
