and strength of the regular army, and broken at times by tedious and bloody Indian wars. Of these the most remarkable were the Black Hawk War, in which our troops met unflinchingly a foe as relentless and far more destructive than the Indians,--that terrible scourge, the cholera; and the tedious Florida War, where for so many years the Seminoles eluded in the pestilential swamps our utmost efforts, and in which were displayed such traits of heroism as that commemorated by yonder monument to Dade and his command,--when all fell, save three, without an attempt to retreat. At last came the Mexican War, to replace Indian combats and the monotony of the frontier service; and for the first time in many years the mass of the regular army was concentrated, and took the principal part in the battles of that remarkable and romantic war. Palo Alto, Resaca, and Fort Brown were the achievements of the regulars unaided; and as to the battles of Monterey, Buena Vista, Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, and t

and finally cast anchor in the harbor of Havana. The stay at the different places at which the ship had touched had been most agreeably passed in a constant round of official courtesies, balls, dinners, and gayeties. From Havana they proceeded to Trinidad, where they remained for a short time, and January 6, 1836, found the Constellation back again at Havana, where this most interesting and enjoyable cruise came to an end, for it was there that Commodore Dallas heard of the massacre of Major Dade and his command. This was the beginning of the Florida War. On the day following the receipt of this intelligence Commodore Dallas sailed for Key West, and upon his arrival there detached the marines belonging to his own ship and those of the Saint Louis, which sailed in company with him, to reinforce the garrison at Fort Brooke, Tampa Bay, then supposed to be besieged. Lieutenant Meade accompanied this force and so reached his station. Lieutenant Meade at once entered upon active

Riding into camp one evening, I dismounted near a tent in front of which a group of officers were standing, in conversation with Dr.——, of Kentucky. We exchanged a few words of greeting as I passed on to attend to my patients. Returning, to mount my horse, I noticed that Peter rather rudely pushed before Lieutenant——, who came forward to assist me. I also noticed that his face wore the old sullen look, and that his manner was decidedly unpleasant. Before we had gone far, he broke out with, Dade, ma'am, ye'll go there no more, if ye plaze. Amazed, I questioned why? Sure, thim fellers was makina game av ye an‘ callina ye out av yer name. Why, Peter, cried I, you are crazy: who called me names, and what did they call me? Thim offshurs, ma'am. Sure, I couldn't make out their furrin worruds, but I belave 'tis a sinner they called ye. Faith, an‘ if ye're a sinner, where wad the saints be? Of course, woman-like, I became furious, and, on our arrival at headquarters, indignantly

Recorder publishes the following: The bill introduced by Mr. Sheats was amended, on motion of Mr. Black, so as to change the name of Cassville to Bartowville, and in this form the bill was unanimously passed in the House of Representatives on the 13th inst., to change the name of Cass county to that of Bartow. The scene was solemn and impressive. Remarks were made by Mr. Hargrove, who was in the battle of Manassas, in the 7th Georgia Regiment, and by Mr. Speaker Akin, (Mr. Tatum, of Dade, in the Chair,) who was in Richmond when the battle was fought, and also by Messrs. Lester, Cochran, of Glynn, Black and Norwood. When the question was taken on the passage of the bill, all the members of the House rose to their feet in the affirmative, in honor of the "illustrious Bartow, who was killed while gallantly leading his men in battle."

e silver spoons." After a little while, Mrs. Perrin said that the spoons were at the house of a man named Blankinship. Craddock and Reese went with her to Blankinship's house and called him out. When Blankinship appeared, Mrs. Perrin said, "Let me have those spoons that I gave you to find out whether they were silver."--Blankinship brought the spoons out and delivered them to Reese. Mrs. Perrin claimed that the spoons were brought her by a free negro, who wished to have them sold for the benefit of her aunt. It was shown in the evidence that the spoons were the property of a Mrs. Dade, and the dress belonged to Mrs. Halsey. There was some doubt as to whether the negro woman who brought the spoons to Mrs. Perrin were free or not; but the other, who brought the dress, was a slave of Mr. Halsey. Mrs. Counsels, daughter of Mrs. Perrin, testified that the dress was bought by her from a youth named Childress, and that he (Childress) divided the money between himself and Gunn.
