Another Ingenious Invention.?A
curious invention has been made bv a
watchmaker, named Drietsma. It is a hollow
pillar of mahogany, witli a slit down
the middle, by which a connexion is maintained
between the dial of a time-piece
and its internal works. The time-piece
would take two davs to nass from the loo
------ - I
to the bottom of this slit, and is ivoun l
no simply by bring pushed up t.? the top
of the pillar. It keeps time while being
thus wound up. The invention is a curious
one, and worthy of general use, as '
it prevents all over-winding, and is appli- 1

jbr which he has taken out a patent, 1 he
object of whMi is, by means of a furiously
constructed machine, to propel waggons
along ordinary roads with the aid of
steam, and to obviate any necessity for
constructing rail roads. On this occasion
the machine was a/lived to a common fourtvheeled
waggon, and was put into motion
by four men turning the fly a id cog-wheel
opposite. It is capable of t'oing h??th up

The females always go in droves of about

A majority of the male wonder
over the occen alone. Whenever a lone

nit beauty will find its way to the human j

y of outline ? Why are not the hills, th*\,

neth not the river-canul like to the ocean7!
Why is not the grass black ? Why

FROM FLORIDA. i
The Savannah Georgian says, ."We '
learn from a gentleman who came as a '
passenger in the steam packet Florida, !
Capt. Hebbard, from the St. Johns, that 1
(Jen. Jcsup and stall' arrived at Black 1
| Creek "on the 3d inst. on a tour of inspection,
and it was supposed that two posts '
would be established on the Suwannee, '
and one on Lake George at Silver Spring. '
The -Indians were still peaceable and !
exhibit 110 evident disposition to renew 1
hostilities. 1
About ten days since a parly consisting }
of Capt. Hanson's mounted Florida vo- '
lunteers and a company of U. S dragoons '
under Lieut. May, were on a scout from 1
St. Augustine to Palatka.
Near Palatka they came across a party 1
of three Indians and a negro in a small 1
camp. The Indians were captured. The *
negro escaped. 1
The itidians stated that the party con- 1
sis>cd of 11 Indians and '<? negroes. The'1
other indlans were out cutting down a
bee tree, and the negro who escaped gave
the ahrm and prevented their capture.
The three indians captured were taken
to St. Augustine.
About the same date a party of U. S.
soldiers under command of Cupt. Allen,
were on a scout from Tampa Day. They
took Fort Foster (for some time abandoned
in consequence of its ^mhejolthy position,)
twenty miles from Tampa, in their
route where they came across Old Bow
Logs a descendant of a celebrated Seminole
Chief of the same name, quietly
seated in the deserted Fort. The old fellow
in finding his former enemies approaching,
thought it bettor to depend on
Iris heels fur security. A regular race
look place, and he was run down like a
tired racer. On being captured, he solicited
very strongly not to be taken to
Tampa Bay, but the command being from
' -
vai, iiu was conducted there without
further parley. He, the Chief, (as well
is tire indians found near Palatku,) was '
letnined as he was north of the line specified
in their late Treaty.
General Jesup is on his way to St. Augustine.
The statement made that Micanopy had
reen executed, is, we are informed, totally
v'thout foundation.
'Not the least provoking feature of this
Florida war to an Editor is that we arc
compelled in the exercise of our vocation
o give currency to every rumor that reach's

liave to announce another instance of the
irutality of those desperate and inhumane
Indians.
" O the morning of (he 20th ult., Cupid

secreted themselves bcliind some bushes

until the)' landed, at which time they fired,
ind killed Captain Whalton. The man next
tim gave the alarm, and the four men ran
or tli boat, three of thein succeeded in gettng
011 board; the other was shot down in
[he water. Two of the tnen in the boat
ivere slightly wounded, and had not tho
Indians pi rsned them so far in tho water:
is to.wet their rifles, there is no doubt they
would have accomplished their object oi
murdering die whole parly.
" The circumstance of this inhuman murler
is peculiarly distressing. Capt. Whaltnn
was the keeper of the light ship, in
which capacity lie has given satisfaction, for
(rears, not only to the government, but to

murdered, and a disconsolate
vidow and large family to lament his loss,

>c!icve hostilsties had ceased with this inhunatie
race.
"We are now situntrd without troops,
int even a cutter or vessel of war to protect
is, and should those wretches know of our
nutation, they would, in all probability,
rnake an atta< k on us here. They were not
satisfied with murdering, butchering, scalpng,
and stripping them of their clothes, but
