FOSTER AN EXFBNSIVE HUMBUG.—The India n war i n Eiorida is becoming expensive, and that without extirminating o r removin g the Indians. The necessity of this war is somewhat enveloped i n mystery as i s also the cause of it s poor success. The tota l number of Indians i n Florida, men, wo- men and children, al l told, is about three hundred. The country they occupy is a miserable swamp, about live feet under wa ter, and producing principall y frogs, alli- gators an d mosquitoes. The government has already spent some six or seven mil- lions of dollars towards driving out these Indians, with little o r n o success, and by continuing the job will probably b e able to count up another million or two. In addition t o the regular troops the Gover- no r of Florida is authorized to raise te n companies of volunteers to ae t i n connec- tion with the U. S. Troops i n driving out this little squad. In the mean time the capture of Indians, squaws or papooses i s of rare occurrence, the Indians remaining concealed i n the impenetrable recesses of the swamp while the troops are about.

A TROUBLESOME TASK.—Those who hav e imposed upon themselves the troublesome task of excusing Border Ruffianism will find thei r hands full. Thei r latest efforts is t o defend the late election and it s results against the declarations of those who know that it wa s earned by fraud. When the Topek a Constitution wa s drawn up it was objected to b y these pro-slavery me n be - cause out of th e whol e population of th e territory but about seventeen hundred vot- ed for th e delegates who formed that consti- tution. Affairs ar e now in a different shape, A year has passed ; th e territor y has all the while been filling up with set- tlers, ye t at an election for constitutional delegates but about sixteen hundred votes were cast. I f the reason for object- ing to the Topeka Constitution was sound then i n the present instance it must b e doubly so. Justice demand s \that both the Topeka and pro-slavery constitutions should b e submitte d to a vote of th e peo- ple ; that al l voters whether free state o r pro-slavery should have a fair chance to express their preferences, and that the re suit shoul d b e abided by . Nothing ca n lie fairer ; and i f our intensely nationa l men who profess such a deep regard for peace and quietness, are in earnest, let them adopt the only fair and honest manner with which to bring about so desirable a n end. NEWSPAPPRIAI.»— Col. FoiiNEr proposes to start a new Democratic paper i n Phila- delphi a about th e 1st of August, to be called the Press. The N. Y., Herald claims to have issued and circulated o n the 6th of July, 98,640 copies, and says it s daily circulation is greate r than al l the other daily papers of the city combined. A Western editor wishin g t o discontinue publicatio n for a week, gives th e following satisfactory reasons:— '• We shall issue no. paper next wee k for the following reasons: 1st. We want to go and catch a string of trout. 2d . Our Jour wants to \setup\ hi s corn and po- tatoes. 3d . Our D 1 wants to cele- brate the 4th. lEf* The vacancy in th e municipal gov- ernment of Leavenworth City, Kansas caused by th e resignation of the pro-slav- ery councilmen was filled by a special elec- tion on the 28 th ult. The EepubVican ticket Was completely successful. The Metropolitan Police are now firmly established in New-York. The Al- derme n and Council both resolved by near- ly a nine-tenths rote to hand over th e po - lice stations to tlhe new Commissioners. THE receipts of the American Coloniza- tion Society, for th e past mouth, amount- ed to $5534. The new Custom and Flouring Mill, lo - cated adjoining the Canal, West of Lake- st., ha s just been put i n running order.— The building is of stone, si x stories, high and is the same as recently occupied a s a plane r manufactory. Besides four run of first class water, th e mill has a fifty horse power steam engine, with coupling s so ar - ranged a s t o drive the machinery b y either powers at pleasure. It ha s four run of stone, two single and two double sets of bolts. These bolts have been constructed with al l the modern improvements and will take from two to four pounds of flour to the bushel more than the old mode of bolting. A New Jersey patent smut mill stands i n the garret through which all the wheat passes before grinding, and by which all foreign substances are thoroughly got ri d of. The mill has been constructed for the purpose of meeting the increased de - mand for a grist mill at this place. The Old Gris t No. 1 , enjoys the exclusive priv- ilege ol grinding grists b y water, on the Ogdensburgh water power and as it s capaci- ty to grind is frequently overtaxed, during the past three o r four years much grinding has been taken to Heuvelton and Canton Falls , which should and would have been done here', had our facilities been ample. In th e new mill the grist grinding is done by steam while for general flouring pur- poses water is used and i n times of scarci- ty of water the whole machinery will b e driven by steam . The stones, machinery and whole milling apparatus is bran new an d the flour turned out i s of the very best quality. The mill is the proporty of O. S . CUMMINOS & Co., and have been christen- ed Express Mills. It i s under the Super - intendenc e of Mr. J. A. VANVALKENBURGH, one of the very best millers in the State.— Our fanners will find the Express Mil l a thing they have long felt th e need of and we trust they will bestow upon its enter- prising proprietors the apatronage they so richl y deserve. The mill gives employ- ment to eigh t hands. SAL T FOR PLUM TREES.—It i s no w almos t impossible to cultivate any kind of plums in this climate , unless salt enters liberally as an ingredient into the compos t applie d to them. When this article is used i n con- junction with house ashes, there appears , rarely t o b e much difficulty i n producing good and health y trees, which ultimately prove highly productiv e o f lair and well developed fruit. When trees are set i n sit- uations i n which the application of com- post is not feasible, o r where it would sub- ject the operator to considerable fatigue o r expense, salt, i n it s crude state, may he ap- plied : o r i t may b e dissolved and poured around th e roots . I f plum trees were carefully washed dow n once o r twice a year, i n a weakish lye, and supplied with two o r three quarts each of salt—care be- ing taken to retai n th e soil around their roots light and free from weeds, we should heai- far fewer complaints, of want of sue--] cess in this department of pomological en-' terprise, No fruit commands a more read y sale, o r a higher price i n the market.— Good plums ar e at present so scarce a s to render them a luxury, and those who have valuable trees i n good bearing, are realizing a heav y profit from them. Let those who have trees profit by the above suggestion ; they indicate th e only legitimat e course t o be pursued.—JV. E.

MASIIUERADINOI IN MALE ATTIRE.—A young lady named Catherine Craw, a s sh e spells he r name, was arrested by th e police yesterda y afternoon, and brought, before the .Recorder, under somewhat singular circumstances. Ti. e young lady ha s been in this city since som e tim e last winter dressed inernale attire, an d mos t ol' the tim e ha s been in th e emplo y of Mr. Jones, who keeps a fruits stand on the corner of West-First an d iSeneca streets. During that time sh e hasi acted i n th e capacity of a pedler ol' apples and fruit, and he r sex has not been discovered o r suspected. Mr. Jones decla.es sh e was th e best \boy\ h e ever ha d and wais strictly honest and vir- tuous. During th e time sh e was in the emplo y of Mr. Jones, sh e went by th e nam u of Edward Uraw. Previous to this \Ed- ward\ was on-board a vessel as cabin-boy and cook, • and th e Captai n of th e vessel testifies that h e never SuSpeoled he r sex, but always observed that th e boy wa s ex- ceedingly modest and well-behaved. At times when th e sailors indulged in obscene conversation, he noticed that \liklwaid\ would blush and walk away t o some oth- er part of th e vessel, aud Chat he—or ra- ther she—often reproved th e sailors for their vulgar jests, and was a great favor- ite with them. Some accidental circumstanc e discover- ed Edward's sex t o Mrs. Jones, and a dress was loaned her ini which th e former apple- pedler appeare d i n the streets in her prop- er attire. The boys who were acquainted with her as Edwaird wer e not disposed t o acknowledge her as \Catherine and consequently to protect he r from annoy- ance sh e was taken into custody by the police. The young lady affirms that sh e has been in mal e attire for three year s ; and that sh e left her father because sh e was unable to procure employment a s a' fe- male, and dressed: in maie costume to ob - tai n better wages—in which sh e has been successful aud has saved some money.— She Carrie i a large dirk knife, and when asked it s use, declared it wa s t o take th e life of any man who attempted to trifle with her honor. She says sh e i s eighteen year s of ag e ; when dressed in male attire she has th e appearance of a good-looking boy of about fourteen years. I t is no t yet determined what siliall be done with her. Oswego Times', |jy An excursion from Watertown over the P. & W. K. K . to Potsdam takes place on Thursday next. AUGUSTA Fire Co., No. 1 , of Preecott , i n uniform, were in town last evening. They came over for the purpose of procuring new caps. They were accompanied by the Ri- fle Band, of Prescott , and marohed through our streets. E9\ The Potsdam Freeman says there were twelve o r fifteen thousand people at Ogdensburgh on the Fourth. Undoubted- ly there were and several thousand besides. With our ow n population thirty thousand is a lo w estimate to put upon the number of people who were i n our village on th e last nationa l anniversary .

She has been thoroughl y rebuilt and is a stauch an d beautiful vessel like the others turned out atthisyaid. We hear that a new vessel will be put on the stocks as soon as th e Mayflower is pff. The Mariner, Rio Grande and Mayflower have all been built or rebuil t at this yard. If th e Mayflower proves as speedy a s th e other two , and we have no doubt sh e will , the Burgh will have th e honor of owning three of th e smartest ve sels on the lakes. SUGAR CKOF.—The Louisian a sugar orop promises to be at least thre e times larger this year than last , and the operators have therefore been compelled to come down i n their demands. A reduction in th e price ol this necessary commodity will b e what no housekeeper ea n afford to make a sour face at.— Oswego Times. Price of Butter. The Commercial editor of the N. Y. Herald predicts a downfall i n the pric e of butter. He Bays :— .\Prom al l accounts i t would seem that during the next six months butter will touc h the lowest point that ii ha s seen in many years. Before the discovery of gold in California butter sold from 18 to 20 cents per pound, but o n emigration setting in for that quarter, the shipping of but- ter to the Pacific coast became a n impor- tant business, and eventually reached 100, 000 firkins pe r year, and was worth about one million five hundred thousand dollars to the traders i n that article i n this city. Thi s demand of course enhanced th e price, o f butter with us, and i t soon reach- ed 3 0 cents pe r pound at retail, and ha s averaged that for the last five years . But the peo|ile of California are beginning to produce their own butter, and during the last year it is doubtful whether 50,000 firkins were shipped from this port. The prospect is, that i n a few year s this im - mense tra'le will be entirely ceased, and our farmers \will b e confined t o home con- sumption. Although prices were never higher than they have been during th e past spring, consumer s may comfort them- selves with the reflection that prices must come dow n before a great many months are over.\ jSf A refrigerator »vardrobe would not be a bad invention for th e present heated •'spell.\ Some genius might make a for- tune by entering into th e speculation.— Galvanized ice perhaps would answer th e purpose. gy To-da y ha s been a roaster.

A TOUCHING DITTY I N PROSE.—When Seth cam e home from maekereling , h e sought hi s Sara Ann, and fonud that she , l-the heartless one , had found another man. And then most awful tight h e got, an d so he went away, and bound himself to cut live oak way down i n JTlorida. He pined upon the live oak lands, he murmured i n the glades; hi s ax e grew heavy in hi s hands, all i n the wild wood shades. Mos- quitoes bit him everywhere, no comfort could h e get, and oh, how terribly he'd swear whenever ho got bit. At last des- pairing of relief, and wishing himself dead, he went into the wood apiece, and ohopped off his own head . Rememberimg Him who spake, The word that cannot lie : \Where two or three in my name meet, There in thi- uiidst am I. \ I bar thee not from faults— God wot it were iu vain— Inalienable heritage, Since that primeval stain.

Lay ton , connected with the extensive sugar refinery of Belche r & Bro., of St. Louis, furnished u s yesterday with a sample of sugar and syrup, which can lie seen at our counting room by those curiou s in such|matters, the produce of the Chinese sugar cane, from the plantation of Col. Ives, of Terra Bceuf. In May, last year , Col. Ives put one-fourth of a n acre unde r cultivation , which ripened by the first of August, producing two barrels of syrup and fifteen bushels of seed. In De- cember, following, the second cro p was ma- tured . This season Col . Ives has, we learn, some two hundred acres under cul- tivation , which he expects wil l be read y for cutting dow n in August, and will yield at least forty thousand dollars. Ep° The following is a simple method of rendering water almost a s cold as ice :• Le t th e jar, pitcher o r vessel b e surround- ed with on e o r more folds o f coarse cotton to be constantly wet. The evaporation of the water will carry off the hea t from the inside and redilceit to a freezing point.— In India, an d other tropical climes, wher e ice cannot b e procured, this i s common.— Let every mechanic and laborer have at his place of employment tw o pitchers thus provided, and with lids o r covers, on e to contain fresh water for drinking, the other for evaporation, and he ca n always have a supply of cold water i n warm weather.— any person can test this by dipping his fin- ger i n water and holding i t i n the ai r o n a warm da y ; after doing this thre e or four times he will find his'finger uncomfortabl y cold.

The master spirits who had charge there aTe heroes, indeed, and de- serve more than a passing notice from public journalists. I venture to say the effort and con- duct of tliese men, in this instance are without a parallel on our waters; and they were crown- ed with success. How different their conduct from that of the Captain and crow of the ill-fat- ed Montreal steamer, and how different the re- sult. And those two heroines who so bravely fought tho devouring element around the smoke stack, on the upper deelc, they are worthy mates as they are, to the principal spirits in this praiseworthy affair.—[Buff.
