 Jackson Citg.-An amusing article from the New-York Evening Post, designed to arrest the late rage for speculation, reminds us of a case in point. Some months since we came, for the first time, by the land from Alexan- drla to this city. Among our stage compan- ions was staunch "democrat," who has | since been rewarded with an office for his adherence to the principles of |" "the Party'- if, indeed, they have any. We had heard, as most of our readers doubtless have, of the city of Jackson, which was to be erected in honor of "the greatest and the bcst." Our readers may, perhaps, remember the hue and cry that was raised some time since in regard to the large assemblage which congregated to witness the laying of the corner stone of this city, which was to rival in beauty and wealth the one standing on the opposite side of the Potomac, and bearing the name of the beloved Washington. Our fellow passenger informed us, that he was present at the cere- mony, and that the venerable efhimself'' was there, looking with dignified self-satis- faction upon the manner i'll which his devo- ted fellow citizens delighted to do him honor. In his description of the ceremony he was ve- | ry difuse, and our curiosity was not little excited.

 We were anxious to see the city bearing the name of the hero of New-Orleans, with it's principal street, which was to surpass in

 beauty our far-famed Pennsylvania avenue. "Look to the right, sir,' said he, " that you may have better view, as you approach

 Potomac bridge" And we did so with all the eyes we had, for we were on the very tip-

 toe of expectation. After gazing some time,

 we neared the bridge. "Why my dear sir.'' said we, there is the majestic Potomac wind

 ing it's way but the city which we thought was situated on its banks is not perceptible.

 Perhaps that mound to the left intervcnes and | obstructs the view.' "No, sir" says he, "you are now passing through the city observe, there, the cornerstone. Just here the table

 was spread, and we partook of a dinner in commcmoration of the day, and the impor- tant act which had been performed" Read CT, did you ever take shower bath? Our bright antici pations of magnificent city and beautiful streets, enveloped in Jackson "glo- ry," dWindled down in an instant to large white stone, solitary and alone,'' in wide extended plain, covered in part with thick <AHu tHlS IS ull WHICH llIlTkS the site ot the city, concerning which sages have written and poets sung.-Wash. Sun. WASHINGTON, June 19. 1 A very mysterious robbery ofthc mail was l fortunately detected at the Post Office in this city. As far back as last January, a remit tance was made from houGe in Chambers

 burg to one in Baltimore, of the amount of $2OGO, which package was traced to Balti- more, but how distracted from that office, or lost, no tidings could be obtained About

 week ago, however, the merchant to whom | the original was sent, received letter from Washington, containing eighteen hundred dollars of the money. The envelope, con- | taniEg the direction, was sent to the office of this city, with view to identify, if possible, the handwriting, which was most fortunate | ly done this morning, and the whole affair traced step by step. In day or two we shall have history ofthe transaction, which, while it will be found amusing, shows the al- most utter impossbility of robbing the mail without detection. =

 From Me National Inteliigenrer, June 20 B0d nems from Florida.-1t was only yes .terday that we congratulated ourselves upon being able to say, from the most respectable authority, under date of Tampa Bay, May "A, that the Indians were rapidly coming in, and would no doubt all cnigrate in the course of the summer.

 Our fears, however, expressed only few days before, of different termination of the existing suspense on the subject, we already learn, were more prophetic than the wishes l of the respectable officer upon whose author- ity our yesterday annunciation was made. Information has reached the city since Saturday, oftwelve days later date than that which we published yesterday. General Jesup has written to a correspondent here, under date of 9th inst. from Tampa Bay. that large party of hostile Indians had entered the camp of the party assembled, and will ling'to emigrate, and had taken off Micanopy and Jumpo Commonly called Jumper) The General says nothing now remains but extcrmination to the whole race. He was about dscharging the transports assem- bled at Tampa Bay for the emigration ot the Seminole Indians. He had, of course, given up all hopes of the Indians keeping their faith. They have been paltering with the Government agents. Their Treaty Cermed a capitulation) appears to have been nothing

 but an artifice to gain time for recruiting their strength at the cost of the Government; an artifice which, we apprehend, has been put

 too completely successful

 Faial Afrar-Wc find it our painful duty

 to record a most melancholy occurrence

 which took place in our streets on Saturday

 last. A meeting took place on that day be-

 tween Mr. Pew, junior editor ot the Arkansas

 Gazette, and Dr. McWilliams of this county:

 A large crowd of citizens were present, and

 the Dr. politely informed MT. Pew, that in
