CRAWFORDSVILLE RECORD.
Extract from a letter dated Washington
citv. April 20,
This has been a day of extraordinary and
most exciting interest in the Senate. Hex
rt Clay epoke and never have I been more imnressed with the noble qualities of his
mind and heart his large view his captivating and overpowering eloquence, on any previous occasion. I had the good fortune to be present when ear'y in the session he introduced his land bill and none who heard it will ever forget that masterpiece of oratory with which he recommended it. Every one must remember the closing passages particularly, impregnated as they were, with so much deep and genuine emolion when
the whole assembly was profoundly affected, and tears flowed freely from many bright eyes, and dwn many a manly cheek. Those passages in which he referred in the most nat
ural and touching manner to some details m his personal history his having been left with his widowed mother in humble circumstances, before he had learned to value the precepts and affections of a father without money, or patronage, or influence of any kind and then the high honors to which his fellow-citizens had in their partiality elevated him. Such details as these it is always difficult to manage with decorum without the manifestation of something like weakness. It is no small evidence of Mr. Clay's power, that topics which, if touched by others, would make them look ridiculous, or worse in our estimation, become, in his hands, instruments of the most potent influence, over persons who are not easily affected. He must have had a cold heart indeed, who did not go along with him on that occasion. The RT7M0R that Clay is to speak, is enough to draw together a large audience. Today it was considered certain. The day was most beautiful and inviting, and long before eleven o'clock, Pennsylvania Avenue was quite animated with the many groups wending their way to the capitol to hear, to listen to the man who is possessed of a more natural and effective style of eloquence than any one who nses the English tongue him who has carried the name of an American orator and statesman, to the utmost limits of the earth. On repairing to the chamber, I found the galleries crowded that appropriated to the ladies, thronged with a brilliant assemblage of youth and beauty and all the privileged sets on the floor occupied by members of the other house, and distinguished strangers, who have the entree. It was gratifying to witness this warm and spontaneous manifestation of interest and regard for the illustrious senator.
Mr. Clay appears to be in an extremely delicate state of health, and it is matter of
surprise with those friends immediately near
him, that he caa endure the exertion he daily goes through. With a graceful allusion to his infirmities, he said the bill was yet so fraught with blessings so valuable to the whole country, and so entirely unmingled with any evils, that he could not reconcile it
to his sense of duty, to leave the burden of
the argument on the shoulders of his friends
There appears to have been as much larceny going on in Philadelphia, in 1776, as at the present time. The paper of the 16th of March of that yearcontains numerous advertisements to recover stolen goods; but then, Mr VVioln,

FROM FLORIDA. At length we have heard from Maj. Gen. Scott's command in Florida. He was, at the date of despatches which have been received from him, at Tampa Bay, with the whole force under his command, amounting, now that all the detachments are united, to
between five and six thousand men. There
had been no regular battle with the Indians
The general met with them on the Wythla-
coochee, and had skirmishes with them (sup
posed to be the same bony as attacked Gen.
Gaines) for several days without being able to bring them to battle. They were followed and charged upon repeatedly in the hammocks; but the nature of the ground is such (being all deep marsh except the hammocks, or clumps and thickets of trees and undergrowth) that it was impossible to prevent their escape. Some Indians, however, were killed, and a few of the troops were killed and wounded. The general was again about to take the field from Tampa Bay, and to send detachments to Charlotte harbor, and other places where the the Indians might be ex
pected to be met with. We have seen a letter from an officer at Tampa Bay, who states that the Vandalia (sloop of war) was then (April 81b) still in Tampa Bay, where she had heen for several weeks; that a detachment of marines from her had acted with Col. Lindsay's command, consisting of Alabama volunteers and Flori
da militia, and in two excursions into the interior had several skirmishes with the Indians, in which four of the troops were kill, ed and four wounded, and some twenty Indians killed. A fort which they threw up on their first excursion, and garrisoned with 70 men,wrs attacked, during the absence of
the main body, by 150 Indians, who fireii upon the fort more than two hours, when they were beaten off with the Joss of 15 or 20 killed; there being one killed and one
