Jt is not only the bad health of M. Mole that .u.u.us ins unuertaKinc any thing serious, but the state of that of M. Martin (du Nord) is equally unsatisfactory. It seems that Messrs. Mole and Guizot are still contending for a majority in the Cabinet, and that the onlv arrangement that can take place in the ad'mission of General Bernard for war on one side, in compensation for M.

FROM FLORIDA. The Apalachicola Gazette of the 8th ult. contains the following intelligence, fiom which it appears that hostile operations haye been commenced, on the western side of Florida, with considerable. spirit. From Tampa Bay The steamer Merchant, which left this port on lh 28th ult. with a detachment of regulars and friendly Indians under the command of Col. Lane, for Tampa Bay, returned to our wharf again this morning. We learn that Col. Lane, on his arrival at Tampa, lost not a moment in commencing operations, but with I

As soon as the friendly Indians came up, a very animated fight across the river ensued, which lasted some fifteen minutes; when Maior Wat-u.u-lt:u n cuarge, was himsell the first to cross the river, and foremost throughout the fight. The hostiles soon gave ground, tho' slowly at first, and fought with desparatin for a mile and a balf, when the rout became general. They were pursued by Col. Lane and bis mounted men, till night came on. The loss of the whites was only two wounded. The enemy's loss not known, as niht came on and prevented an examination. The enemy's force was estimated at one or two hundred. Interesting and Important News from Florida Battles with the Indians, and Suicide of Col. Lane. The Charleston Courier of the 26th ult., puts us in possession of the following interesting and important intelligence from Florida. Col. Lane, who is represented to have committed suicide, is the son of Amos Lane, member of Congress from Indiana. "An officer of the Tennessee Brigade, engaged in the new military operations in Florida. and now in this city for the purpose

of purchasing clothing for the Brigade, has politely furnished us with the following out-

line of late transactions on the Withlacoochee. On the 8th inst. the Tennessee Brigade, consisting of 1250 volunteers, commanded by Gen. Armstrong, 2 pieces of artillery and two or three hundred regulars, all under the command of Gov. Call, left Fort Drane for the Withlacoochee, and on their way to that river surprised and killed 13 Indians, and took 12 women and children prisoners. The third day after their departure, the army arrived in the immediate vicinity of the river, and attempted to cross at two points, at both of which they were attacked by the Indians. The attack on the main body of the army was made by 75 to 100 Indians from across the river, which was supposed to be about 100 yards wide, at that point, having been swollen by recent rains. The spies and advanced guard of the army kept up a firing about ten minutes without any loss on their part — they then retired from the hammock (about 150 yards wide, and two or three feet under water,) and one battallion of the Tennessee Brigade dismounted and went to explore the river — Major Gordon commanding, and one man were wounded — firing kept up about half an hour between the battallion and Indians across the river — the Indians ceased their firing and war whoop — our battallion was drawn off and encamped on the prairie adjacent io the river — the other detachment was more unfortunate — had 3 killed among them the Indian guide — 2 badly wounded — they fought for about an hour, and report that they killed several of the enemy — the whites were without provisions, and by command of Governor Call were ordered to the mouth of the river for provisions and reinforcements, and when they arrived there found no provisions, and had to retire to Black Creek, their present encampment. They intend prosecuting the campaign again as soon as provisions can be thrown in depot at Fort Drane, or supplies can be obtained at some point on the Withlacoochee. Lieut. Col. Lane commanding the detachment of friendly 750 Creek war nors, arrived at Tampa Bay, fought his way to the Withlacoochee, having had two skirmishes with the Seminoles, and burnt their villages — was ordered to Fort Drane bv Gov. Call, and two hours after his arrival there (about the 20th inst.) committed suicide bv putting the hilt of his sword on the ground and running the point through the corner of the eye into the brain; no cause assigned — Lieut. Col. Brown will succeed him." Logansport, Oct. 29th, 1836. MURDER · A stranger was found murdered on Thursday evening last, about four miles north of this place, a bullet having entered his breast on the right side and passing out near the left shoulder. He was found a short dis- tance east of the Michigan Road and south of Mr. Enyart's farm, in a thicket of hazel bushes, and from his appearance had not been murdered more than three or four days.

Cin. H'hir. To preserve jiams, or other smoked meat thro1 the summer- Wrap up the meat in tow er other flax or hemp, after shaking out the loose shives, and pack in a tierce or barrel, taking care that there be next to the tierce and between every piece of meat, a thick layer of tow packed as close as .possible; then set it away in a celler or uper room. It is enough that the barrel or tierce be sufficient to keep the mice out, as no fly or insect will enter the tow. Tow and flax are such bad conductors of heat that a piece off ice will be preserved a long time wraped up in tow. Cut straw also answers extremely well to "keep ham in. Aashes are apt to commuuicate a bad taste to meat. Care should be taken to preyent the flies from having access to the meat before it is packed away. - Another way to preserve hams is to pack them -down in oats. Those practising this mode of preserving their ham from skippers or taint of any kind, should be careful that the chest or cask be perfectly tight, raised about six inches from the ground, and the oats packed in perfectly tight. Archives of Uuseful Knowledge. Delegatds to the State Agricultural Society.: The meeting of the State Agricultural Society of Indiana, held in December last, was. not fully attended by the delegates from the County Societies as was desirable. This was partly owing to the fact that butfew County Societies had then been organized, to appoint delegates. As very much- good may be and ought to be accomplished in the cause of agricultural improvement by the meeting of the State Society, it is earnestly hoped that every County Agricultural Society in the State will send a delegate to the meeting in December next. the present agricultural law needs amendments, and the State Society is the proper bodjto determine what amendments will be best calculated to promote most efficiently this great cardinal interest of the Slate. This Is, however, but one among many reasons why that meeting should be fully attended. Indiana Farmer. EDUCATION CONVENTION.
