SICKNESS IN FLORIDA.

From the Tallahassee Sentinel, .July23
The Sickness which for the last two or three mtnths
has filled our city with mourning and consternaion,
seems gradually abatng but what of suffering re-
mains for us during the three long unhealthy months
approaching, is known only to God. Duling the past
three months probably from eight to ten per cent. Of
our population have been consigned 10 the silent abodes
of the departed-a mortality unprecedented, be-
eye, in the history of the place. To what il may be
ascrbed, we know not but there was, during the
great part of the Spring, long continued succession
Of easerly winds and subsequently, the weather was
dry and uniformly hot and oppressive. The refresh.
ing southerly breezcs, which generally, during the
summer months couneract the oppressive heat OF the
sun, have, during the present season, entirely tailed
and close and sufocating atmosphere has facilitated
the destructive workings of disease.
WITHIN few days a constant succession OF WHY.

atmosphere at least twenty degrees, and devouty
hope that the death dealing operations of the fever will

To say that pending the election for Speaker and after
several unsuccessful balotings we've had Governor

as suitable person 10 fill that Office and urged with
some zeal, the propriety of political friends taking
him up; assuring me, at the time that he Casey
favorable 10, and would certainly vote for the
Sub-tressury. Seeing the difficulties which beset us
in the selection of Speaker, expressed willing
ness to go for Mr. Casey, provided he with us on
that important measure but that had some mil rs
in regard TO it,
The Governor then urged me TO see Mr. Casey imme-
dlatey, and talk To him myself on the subject did So.
and Mr. Casey refused that time TO saw in SO many
words, that he would for the sub treasury re-
marking that, standing as he did a candidate for
Speaker, he doubted the ropriety OF making pledges

next morning however, he Casey came TO my lodr-

assured me IN the most unquvocal terms that he was

rate for It, He said he particularly pleased with
