mount of about an hundred millions OF dol

FLoRIDA.-We mark at this junc,ure,
with more than ordinary interest, the result
Of elections in the South, as they may be
read as signs OF the times. With this feel
ing we have awaited the Issue of the Con
pressional election in Florida with peculiar
interest, because it Is not only the extreme
Southern State, bu, was the first TO speak
since the passage of the "mcasnres Of ad.
justmen,;" where the Democratic candidate
had avowed his preference for dissolution
OF the Union 10 the passage of the Compro-
mise Bill, and where the state of public
sentiment was more equivocal Than in the
neighborng Southern States. We are now
happy TO learn, by the last Florida papers,
that Mr.. Cabell, the Wing and Union can>
dlda,e, (who had voted for the Boundary
and Territorial Bills y has carried the State
by an increased majority over his former
one-under the disadvantage, too, Of being
confined to his sea, in Congress while his
opponent was caovassing the State. We
have no doubt that his ma oritv would have
been further increased could he have me,
his adversary on The stump. We have nd
idea, however, that all who voted for Mr.
Baird, the Democratic candidate, are dis
unlcnis,s; very far from it. Indeed. we
learn by private letters that his supporters
10 a great extent. disavowed the disunion
sentiments Of their candidate; and many
Democrats who voted for him are known
to be unwavering Union men. The tisor
GAMERS in Georgia were sangune OF the
success of their cause in Florida, we are
Informed; and the triumph of Mr.. Gable!
will be damper to them and their unholy
schemes.-Nat. Intclligcncer.
