EFFECTS OF SECESSION IN FLoRIDA-A
gentleman who arrived recently from Flor
ida has called at the Times Office. and fur
nished US with some interesting items of
news He corroborates the accounts that
we have from time to time published in re-
gard to public opinion at the South. Seces7
SION in Florida was not effected by the vote
of the people, on the contrary, every effort
was made to prevent an honest vote being
taken. The Legislature, which directed that
a convention should be chosen, only allowed
five days to intervene between the notice
and the election. 'Hhe consequence was that
the country neople, who Were opposed to
secession. had 10 opportunity to vote, and
the people of the towns had it all their own
way. No one in Florida entertains doubt
that a majority of property holders are I'm
ion and conservative, for a proposition made
in the Convention to allow only property
holders to vote was not entertained for a
moment. The secessionists of Florida are
those who have everything to gain and no
/ thing to lose, and for the present they rule
| supreme. As an instance of the spirit thai
! prevails, 1t is related that Floridan, within
the last month, entered the store of North
ern man and stabbed him four times, with
out any provocation whatever. Rushing
out into the street, with the dripping weapon
| in his hand, he shouted, "This is the blood
ofa Cd d--n Yankee let US serve then
! all soi'' For this brutal murder, the per
petrator was elected to the Florida Conven
ton. Our informant, though himself al
owner of negroes, and an advocate of the in
stitution of slavery, was twice fired at fo
wearing Union eockade. A man in Flor
ida who openly processes loyalty to tn
! Union is called an Abolitionist, and is luck,
if he escapes being Iynched,-NeW Yorl

RE-EIIsTRG.-We are informed that one entire
Mississippi regiment of twelve months men, servs
ing on the Potomac, have resolved to man, at the
expiration of their present term, to re-enlist.
This is what we might have expected of gallant
and patriotic people. 1t stands out in refreshing
contrast to the conduct of the Yankee troops who,
40 soon as their sine is up, rush hons, -lesv-
ing their cause and their flag to go te de-
struction their own way. The virtual desertion of
their country in the hour of need has made them
the laughing stock of all Christendom. We scarce
ly see an article from a foreign paper which does
not express combined amusement and amazement
at the promtitude Of the Yankees in leaving the
vice their time is up. Yet, after ALL such
extraordinary conduct has in them, st least, this
extenuaton, that they not engaged in defending
their own homes and fresides, and that, though
they leave, they lose nothing but the chance of
glory which as it will not pay mans's house rent
or his market bill, they don't think worth fighting
for.
If the Yankees, in leaving, when their time was
up, had left the road open to their hearthstones
and affairs and no further obsticle to the march of
a foe who had proclaimed IN advance that he meant
to dessoate and defle their homes they would have
given proof of utter recreancy and degradation,
such as has not yet added the finishing blackness to
their smutty character. We have therefore never
for q moment entertained the superstition that the
army ST the South would leave the service of their
country, of their homes and families at the end of
their present term of enlistment. We say the ser~
vice OF LnelF cOAaTyy IOr IL Is WAT OF the country
and not Of any Government, and our soldiers are
fighting for the country and for their 1oUes and chill
dren, for freedom and independence; and, there
fore, however irksome military discipline
may be, and however unjust and negligent
may be the treatment they sometimes receive
from officers, they submit to it eheerfuIly, looking
upon these and all other trials and inconvenience
part of the price they pay for freedom, and to
be borne with fortitude and determination, as they
bear bad weather and the pains of bullet and
bayonet wounds. The private soldiers of the Cons
federate army, mostly gentlemen, and the equals
in every respect of their officers, have entered the
army not for pay and emolument, but from an hon
est desire to serve their country and hence we be-
lieye that like thu noble Mississippi regiment. they
will stand by her and serve her TO the end. II the
officers Of the army would rival the devotion Of
the privAtes, and snhtls themselves TO equal
share in the countrys gratitude, they mult vie with
each other in the most energetic and sys tsnadc
measures fer the comfort health, hap HnsEE and ef
fetsAoy Of the men-RieAUsoad DtspIoA.

naatl, oECapt. James MAJOR.

Ttis our painful duty this morning to chronicle
She death Of Capt, jas. Babsf, brother Of hr.
George Baber, Of this paper. he died on the l6th
mat n HiilSboro, WssterR Virginia, where he had
been u service with bis company GiAcs the begiA,
ming 0fthe war. He was man Of large and many
virtues as citizen and soldier and his less viii
not only be felt keenly by bis comrades in arms,
but viii be received with the most unfeigned sor-
row by large circle of friends In Sumner county,
whence his company enlisted in Col. Robert Hal
tons regiment.
Capt Baber was born October I'd, 1887. He was,
therefore, in the bloom and beauty Of young and
hopeful manhood. Although but beginning 40 se~
tive successful business career be had already es-
tablshed an enVable character fer capacity i1teg-
rity and industry. He was universally respected,
as well for his qualities Of mind and habit as for his
genial, companienable disposition. Few men were
more cordial, kind-hearted and amiAble. He was
the idol alike of his family and his brother soldiers;
and it is not saying too much TO declare that no
man could have been so lily spared By those who
looked up to him with SO much respect and aifec>
tion.
We could not, with propriety, allow 80 sad occs-
sion to pass without expression Of sincere symS
patty with our associate, to whom the news comes
with such accute force We miDgle, too, our deep
regrets with those who though less afflicted in be-
ing farther removed in point of blood, are never
theess panied te the quick with she loss of friend
The loss Of brother Is one Of the severest trials
which God, in his wisdom, bequeathes to man.
The sense of bewilderment which must follow, can
only be conceived by those who have sustained the
affecting blow. We feel something more than the
interest of humane pity, because we witness and
know the irrepsrable vacancy thus created. -
Our entire sympathy attends the family and
friends of the deceased; and it grieves us in being
so little able to comfort and cheer them In this
melancholy hour of suffering.
The body of Capt. Baber will be brought home
and inferred in Sumner county the residence Of his
family.-NdSEuiRe Bd1raer, Dec. %.
Capt. BABER's remains have since passed through
this city, en- route for Sumner county.

The Ladies of the Soldiers Relief Society of Ten
nessee, have undertaken to organize scheme Of
Free Gift Prizes, the proceeds Of which are for the
benefit Of the sick soldiers of the Confederate Army.
In furtherance of which benevolent purpose they
appeal, with confidence, to the citizens of
Nashville and Of the State Of Tennessee
and the public generally. Commute
has been appointed to receive donations such as
JeweIry StstuAry, Pictures and other objects Of
art antiquities curosties books trinkets and toys
for children, any other articles for ornament
use all of which win be properly classified num-
bered and distributed to the holders of tickets
claiming prizes. The names of doners will be lac
belled upon each article presented, unless other
wise directed. Every donation thus received will
be valued separately by the committee and, tickets
corresponding with such valuation will be issued
and sold for one dollar each. Persons from dis
lance who make donations or order tickets may
leave instructions with the committee in regard to
the disposition to be made of their prizes. The
first drawing will take place at o'clock on New
Years Eve, at the Masonic Temple, upon which oe-
cSsion there will be music and refreshments.
Tickets of admission % cents. The drawing sales
Of such articles may remain 10 the possession of
the Society on account of unsold tickets will take
place on the next or some subsequent evening,
rs may be announced at the time. 1t is hoped the
plan suggested will meet with a success worthy of
the cause and commensurate with the necessity
which has prompted its presentation to the public
The Society takes pleasure in announcing that
they have already received valuable contributions,
and it is hoped that all others who disposed to
contribute will place the articles in the hands of the
chairman of the committee Mrs. J. IL. Bass, at the
earliest day practicable. The scheme contemplates
the gift CT such objects only already in the pos
session of the donors and the presentation of tick
cts to friends in lieu of the usual gifts for the holt
days. will be no doubt most acceptable substitute
because whether the recipients draw prizes or
blanks, the benefit will inure to those who are wor
thy of all our care. In this no sacrifices are
required and while we enjoy the usual festivities
of the annual holiday, we make them tributary to
the accomplishment of noble and patriotic pur>
pose.
