RANDOM PARAGRAPHS.
WE THINK that the State OF Florida has hardl,
gained sufficient credit and notoriety for the grea
work that she has so energeticay pushed through
the building OF the Florida Railroad across the
Peninsula, distance Of one hundred and fifty-foui
miles. The cars are to run clear through before
the expiration Of this month Of February. The com.
pany come into possession OF vast bodies Of the mos,
Valuable sugar and cotton lands in East Florida,
and render them doubys by the proximity Of their
road Six hundred thousand acres Of these lands
we're to be offered for sale yesterday at the town
OF GAINESVILLE, in the county of Alachua. This is

Prompt energy will be essential in this matter for
the reason that Mobile, the near neighbor of Pen.
sacola, will bid strongly for her trade, and will do
so by running an easily constructed road Of only
about nifty miles in length across from Mobile bay
to PENSACOLA, or to connection with its road.
But New Orleans can be ahead of Mobile and have
time to firmly cement trade connections before the
Mobans can get road through. Pensacola viii

This is the kind Of jawbreaking stuff that the ma
hye Africans talk before they have been caught
long enough to learn civilized tongues, for the
paper in question is printed in one of the great
slave districts Of Africa with English type, and the
exotic character Of the enterprise is indicated by
the use Of our word for the month in the date line

WE HAVE GLORIOUS NEWS from Yale College,
through the New York Tribune, which SAYS, in an
editorial article of length, that Yale is even more
thoroughly Republican institution than when
certain members of its faculty assisted at the cele
brated Sharp's rifle meeting. Crowds Of Southern
students no longer hrong her portals and she gets
along, some say, better without themr This is
putting good face on the matter, but probably
the managers and faculty of the College do not
think that it gets along better without the crowds
of Southern students;n but even if she does they
cannot rejoice half as much as we do that they
" no longer throng her portals. Let not one ever
more darken those portals to place himself under
the degrading control of the sanctifed and hypo-
critical Sharp's Rifiemen and John Brown sym-
pathizers whom the great organ Of Abolition
proudly avows preside over it, Let no Southern
man evermore be ashamed to point to his alma
mater, as all must be who henceforth graduate
from Northern colleges. They are all Abolition
Yale and Harvard chiefest among them. They
cannot feel the sentiment of fal pride which ma
trculates have in their foster "mother in letters,
if she be as those are, debased, degraded and
prostituted thing. Hallelujah Crowds of South
students no longer throng the portals of t.old
Yale"
1t is significant that the same article which an
nounced the above facts also'records the making
of certain "reforms u in the government of the
college, the chefesto of which is the "total abo-
lition of evening prayers Now thatt redeem
ing element Of Southern attendance at the college
has ceased to exist it drops even the sembance of
pous responsibility not essential to its standing
among its Northern patrons, though very important
to its popularity in the South. The Tribune states
that there is almost entire unaninfty of opinion
on the slavery question among the students, and
that in one literary society of forty members, there
is but one member who is not Tribune Abolition
and that exception is-an Admins
tration Democrat! He is the son of a postmaster
which fact that paper thinks is all that colors his
politics and prevents their turning black.
