II is more in sorrow than in anger that we
call public attention TO the alarming, not to
say reasonable spirit, manifested by the
Globe, the official and responsible organ Of
| the administration.
We call upon the patriotic Of all parties to
read and ponder the text with which we have
begun this article and the commentary we
! are about to make.
The demon Of the internal regions cannot
be more intent in making mischief. than seems
the editor of the " official organ" After
laboring for years, to excite tho poor against
the rich, and to encourage acts Of violence
try, he new seeks to array the South against
tie North Disorganization and revolution
| appear to be the elements Of his love and
the objects Of his ambition. A perfect Ro-
bespiere in heart and in principle, it would
seem as though he sought to stimulate the
angry passions Of the people Of the two sec
| tons Of the Union to violence, bloodshed and
massacre and with exultation witnes the
preparation of such deeds.
The Globe Of Thursday night contained an
evidence Of the diabolical spirit which ami
mates its editor, in the following paragraph
which we extract from it
We for free trade, and like to see things
flowing in their natural channels. We do not like
to see the wealth amaSsed by the industry of the
South withdrawn BY Government, and converted

What can the mddnan mean! When was
the industry Of the South withdrawn by Co
vernment, to build up monopoles in the

people Of the South to believe that surplusses
Of revenue are collected from them and sent
away to the North. The contrary is the fact
We have before us an official report Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, which shows,
that in 1884, (since assumed as standard
year for future operations,) the expenditures
exceeded the receipts in the South and South

The blow will fall most heavily upon Ala
bama herself The Justice who can make
such decisions respecting the rights of corpo-
rate bodies, will find pretexts sufficient, when
occasion requires, to inflict the same law upon
every trader or merchant, who may presume
to deal with Alabama. 1t is in vain to say
that such decisions are sustained by the laws
of the State--the Constitution Of the United
States is paramount-and no justification for
any such latc or decision can be found in that
instrument.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court
Of the United States, where, no doubt, the
question will be settled according to the con-
sttution, and we hope, the laws Of common
honesty.

something of the history Of this notable Judge,

DISCOVERY OF MISSISSIPPI.
BY MANN BUTLER.

On the 9th March, 1912, fourteen
years after the discovery by Columbus of
the main land of America, Ponce de Le-
on discovered Florida, in his romantic
search for the fountain of youth. This
was a spring, which was extensively be-
lieved at that day, to possess the virtue of
renewing the wasted powers Of life.-
Notwithstanding this charmed power in
the waters of Florida, the discoverer died
mortany wounded in contest with the
warlike natives. He was soon followed
by various adventures, British and Span
ish. But Pamphilo de Narvaez and He
nando de Soto, were the most distinguish.
ed. The former is supposed to have land
ed, on the 18th Of April, 1859, near the
bay, now called Apalachee. After pass
ing six months in exploring Florida, he
coasted the southern margin of this State,
and the whole party, except four, were
shipwrecked, near the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi. The survivors, after years of
captivity and hardship among the Indians,
reached the city Of Mexico. De Soto,
whose fame you so well commemorate, in
one of the northern counties of the State,
possibly in the path of his ancient explo-
ration, next followed. This most remark
able adventurer, even at time and in a
nation of unsurpassed enterprise, as if
destined to realize the widest visions Of
romance, had participated with Pizarro in
the conquest Of Peru. He had realized,
in that fairy work, every thing it might
well be supposed, that love of fame, wealth
could desire. Still this favorite of fortune,
the pride of the knights Of Old CASTLE,
panied to entertwine his heroic and way
ward fate with the stately forests of Mis-.
sissippi. His keen passion for adventure
kindled at the news brought to Spain, by
the surviving associates Of Narvaez; and
he easily obtained from the partially and
confidence Of Charles the Fifth, then En-.
Peror Of Germany, and the King ofSpain,
and the Indies, the government Of Cuba
and Of Florida.
In May, 1899, all but 900 years ago,
the Adelantsdo Of Florida landed At the
bay Of Espiritu Santo, the Tampa Bay Of
our modern topography. Hence, after
establishing depot at the bay Of Achusi,
the modern Pensacola, and concertinq

he had left in charge Of his government,

CHEESEMAN'S leg that he could not stand.
The friends Of the latter then proposed to
strap him to tree, that he might be able
to shoot Shelton. but this being positively
