LET IFS ALONE.


 This is the motto with which the new State of Florida, with its twenty thousand white inhabi- tants, comes into the Union, and forthwith ifs Governor proceeds, in accordance with the spirit which adopted such motto, to read lecture to the other States of the confederacy, upon the eX- tent to which this member of the family will submit to the government and interference of ifs elder sisters. There is a degree of cool imperii- hence in this whole proceeding which is sutfi- cient!y amusing, and certainly the motto of the State, and the Message of its Governor asslmilae beautifully together.
 The origin of the motto has led to discussion, we observe, the Floridian ascribrng it to the French Manufacturers at Lyons; but we are tempt ed to agree with the TaAahasse Sentinel, which gives it much older date:
 It was the frantic exclamation of an '' unclean spirt'' 10 our Saviour, and occurs in Mark, 1st chapter, 24th verse:
 s.21. And they went into Capernaum, and straightway on the sabbah-day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
 .22 And they were astonished at his doctrine; for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scrlbeS.
 "23 And there was in the synagogue man with an unclean spirit and he cried out,
 "24 Saving, sLET US ALONE;' what have we 10 do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth art thou come 10 destroy us y
 Wo0l-We were not aware, until within day or two, that wool constituted an important item of export from this city. gentleman who IS enga- ged in the purchase, on Eastern account, informs us, that within few weeks, about S25,oOO worth of wool has been purchased in this market for shipment The principal supply has been brought from Illinois and the Upper Missippi. and is re- garded by judges as of good quality. We are also informed that large portion of this Springs clip pings has not yet come forward. The amount to be brought in, will probably more than equal the quantity which has appeared in the market In Iowa, Missouri and Illinois, large number of far- mers are turning their attention to tbe raising of sheep. They have found them to thrive well, and it is now almost certain that this will form one of the staple articles of export. The increase this year. has very largely exceeded that of any former year-St Louis Republican.
 California is oming see by our ex- change papers that the citizens of California have organized an independent government similar to that oi Texas and the United States. Large bod. ies of emigranls are about starting for that beaut ful country from Missouri and the other Western States. The carpenter at the Capitol may as we'll be getting two new seats prepared for ihe forth coming Senators from the New State of California.

Good Pay.-There are three brothers named Rath6an, in Cayuga Co.,, who are repued rather shrewd. sharp set, and generally know on which side of the bread the butter gees. They were :or- 7merly Whigs, and one of them lF1ram,) was cho- sen Sheriff by the Whigs. While Sheriff, he turn ed Loco Foco, with his brothers-George having snuffed the fragrance of tempting "spoils" on that side. George was in due tune elected, and was last fall reelected Uhrough the convenient conni- vance of Birneyisu,,0 to Congress Hiram the ex-Sheriff,) has recently been made Keeper of the Auburn State Prison, turning out U. F. Doubleday, a far better man of his own party. At last, Amos Rathbun, (the third brother, has obtained the Au- burn Post-O Office, turning out w. C. Beardsley, who, we believe, is also a Polk man. So the whole three are in office. and have about the three best offices in the County. We always advocated inc treating all members of party alike, whether they have belonged to 1t five years or fifty but such streak of luck this, IS rather too good for this rugged world. If there are any more Wings who want to sell out and start afresh, as the bterest kind of Loco-Focos, we advise them to emgrate to Auburn-a nice place every way for recreant Wings, and rather apt to catch good many of them.-.N Y.
