The Greatest .l1'osqu.£to-.S'lo7'_7/ 3/lzl.—A cor-
respondent writes us, concerning the runs-
quitoes of Mic.l1igaii, that a man living nc;tr
Grand River, being in the woods, was exceed-
ingly annoyed by mosquitoes and took sh: l-
ter under an inverted potash kettle. His
first emotions of joy, for his happy deliver-
ance, and secure asylum, were harally over,
when the mosquitoes liaving scented llllll, be-
gan to "drive their proboscis through the ket-
tle; fortunately he had a liammcr in his
pocket, and he clinched them down as f.-«rs:
as they came through, until at last such a
host of them were fastened to the poor man’s
(lomicil, thatthey rose and flew away with it,
leaving him sheltcrless.’
It will appear from the following para-
graph from the Massacliusetts Eagle, that
spec-ulalion is the mother of in volition:
“A gentleman recently front l~lartford,
says that he was surprised at the generall)
dilapidated appearance ofthe dwelling houses
on the road between that city and Westfield,
Mass. Every“ second habitation was win-
dowless. Upon inquiry, he found that the
windows had not, as be supposed, been
“smashed in” by some terrible storm, but
had been taken out by the owners, and used
in the manufacture of hot houses, for the more
rapid cultivation of the Morus ll-lulticaulis.”

John Quincy Arlo-m.s.—-'I‘liis gentleman
has recently addressed through the columns
of the llational Intelligencer, two letters to
the mernorialists on the subject of slavery,
who have made him their Agent to bring
their petitions before Congress. These let-
ters are spoken of as among the most elo-
cpicnt and powerful productions of his pen.
Mr. Adams distinctly declares that “ the
ilzrmczliale aboliliolt ofSl(L-t-c7‘_7/ is utterly im-
yira-cticalrlc.”
lsl, because public opinion throughout the
Union. is against it; and 2d, because it would be
a measure against the will of llrose upon whom
it is to operate, which is contrary to the Ameri-
can principle that zrlljnst powers nfgnvernment
are derived from llrc consent of the governed.
He believes four fifllrs of the whole American
people are opposed to it, and in these circum-
stances, he slrnuld vote against it.
The satire reasoning isapplied to Florida, and
he argues that to impose an anti-slavery restric-
liorr upon the inlrabilanls. as a condition of ad-
lnissinn lo the Union, would be a breach nffailh.
The Florida lrcalyslipnlalesfur‘ ilsallniission on
primitive terms. Mr. A. voted against lhe ad-
urission ofllie Stale ofArkansas, because hereon-
slitulion expressly denied to her legislalrire the
powernfeuiancipaling slaves. \‘.’illi the excep-
tion ofFloridt‘., he would never consent to the ad-
mission ofa new slave Slate.
Distinct and decided ground is also taken
agaiiist bntli llre Abolition and the Cnlonizalion
Associations; lhnuglr bnllr are regarded asnrigi-
nalrug in laudable niolivcs. He believes them
‘all equally liable, at this time, to the charge of
perlin.'.rCi0t2Sl_v persisting in the pursuit of objects
obviously and notoriously iiirpracricublc.’
The impraclicabilily ofllie Abolition scheme
is also orglred at length. If the abolition of
says the ‘old man eloquent,’ it must be either
by civil or servile war, or by the cortscrit ofslavc
.~/wlrei's. The irrrnrediale cnrarrr.-ipaliornsls in-
dignanlly disclzrirn all wish for llre first modes.
and would effect it with the coirscr:-tnf, and willi-
out inslemniiy lo, the masters. This is held to
be perfectly cliirircrical, and the temper with
wliiclr the arguineols are both urged and receiv-
cd is c:;bibiic-d to show llre irripraclicabilily of
the means employed. The spirit of denuncia-
tion is most fcelingly rt?-proved, and nlucli as he
dcsircs the utter extinction Ofslilvery. and “~'0Ul‘-l
regard it a sin in lririisclf, he would not lnoke it
York, from Albany, Boston, Philadelphia,
&c., tlie_ winds, as it were, diverging from
this city, he pursues with thefacts, admitted
we believe, that volcanoes at times create‘
rains——also prairies on fire, even heavy dis-
charges of cannon. In time of drotiglit, he
argues that the air is most charged with va-
por, and Nature best fitted for artificial ope-
ration, and then he proposes by means offirel
so to rarify the air, as to produce asceiidingl
columns, which, as they mount, become
clouds, subject to all the laws which he do-
monstratcd to be the ‘regulators of storms.---'
He does not assume to say he can create a
rain at i.t=ill—but he believes, that in a
drouglil, when the upper strata of air is fa-
vorable for artifical experiments, he can, by
means of intense heat create an ascending
column of rarificd air to be evolved in aque-
ous clouds, which shall take the Easterly
motion of all storms, and finally cover in,
country. Thus at N. York, he thinks he
can make a storm for Boston,or on the Ohio,
create a rain for all the Middle States and
New-England too.”
Prentice says, that the Professor was so
much pleased with a complimentary letter
which he received froln Gerrnaniowri, l.’a.,
that he sent word to the citizens that they
might “draw upon him at any time fora
shower, a hail-storin, a thunder-gust, a whirl-
wind, or a watcr—spout, and he will honor the
draft at sight.”

Florida l"i"m', NOT c7z(Ztvl.—-It appears
from the following account of it recent Indi-
an Butchcry in Florida, that Gen. Macomb’s
arrangement, has certainly not ptit a stop to
the war on the part of the Indians.
The Savanriah Georgian of the 3d instant,
says:
“ On yesterday, we were favored with the
perusal of a letter, froln a young lady in
Florida to her uncle in this city, which is
dated the 29th tilt. ant; came by the Florida,
from Garcy’s Ferry. The letter states that
on the evening previous, about sunset,a body
of Indians surrounded the dwelling of a Mr.
James Ostcen,* at Alligator, and shot him
near his stable. He was instantly killed. An
uncle of the writer is Mr. Simeon Dell,who
was in the stable, made his escape to the
House. A sister of Mr’. Osteen was shot
through the left side and arm, but Mrs. O. and
her children fled to the nearest neighbor’s
holisc. Mr. Dell was now left in the house
by himself, and seing the Indians approach-
ing, he picked up a stick, (as he had no gun,)
and pulled open the door the Indians then
fled. On searching the house, however, he
found a gun, when he returned to the door
and fired at the savages, who had come tip.
They also fired and hit him in the left side
above the breast. The shot entered the left
slroultler blade, and was taken out on the 29th.
Mr. Dell was doing well. One of the Indi-
ans had a white feather on his head, and it
was thought by the settlers that it was a par-
ty which they had a fight with some time be-
fore at a place called the Natural ‘Bridge.
“ After the Indians left Mr. Osteen’s they
proceeded to the plantation of Asa Roberts,
about a quarter of a mile from Mr. O.’s—but
the family hearing the report of guns, had
left for Mr. Zachariah Roberts’ place, where
the Indians followed, and destroyed all the
poor people had, even taking their only horse.
It was thought that Mr. Dell had wounded
one the savages, by-their taking the horse.
“ It is truly melancholy to record these
atrocities-—and that too after we had been led
to expect that the war was indeed over. l.Vc
fear no treaty can bind these wretclies-’hnd
