FLoRIDA.-This State was ceded to the
United States by Spain, in 1921, for the con-
sideration of S5,000,000. She remained Ter
ritory until 1915, when she was admitted into
the Union. Tue Seminole war continued from
1885 to 1912, and cost the United States
S30,000,000. The whole property of the
State, in 1880, was only assessed at 500, ,7S4,-
S31.. The receipts into the Treasury that year
were $50, 1873. The increase in ten years, in
population, is probably not more than from
twenty TO thirty per cent. for few persons emf

Florida, including the forts built for her pre-
lection, has cost the Federal Government Just
about twice as much as the entire property of
the State would sell for. She proposes to pay
the debt Of money and gratitude she owes to
fhe United States by seeding from the Union
and setting up for herself. As she goes along,
she would take possession of the forts and ar
senals of the United States Her population,
in 1850, was: Whites, 7,203 negroes, 80, ;

about ten thousand, and it has varied very lit

bit OF State puts on airs, under the lead of
Governor John Milton, about seeding and
taking possession of the United States proper.

Spiking Negroes.

commencing that the slaves taken by the abo-
lition soldiers from their masters should be put
to hard work in making batteries, and then
makes this mysterious proposition:
"Then, too, if the exigencies of the cam

perfect photographs of the men to whom they
were applied. Gen. TAYLOR was man of
rare common sense, natural military genius,
a heart as valiant that of CoUER DE LEON,
and nature as simple and unpretending as a
child. We don't suppose he ever WAS con-
scious of an emotion of vanity or selfesteem,
and he worked off u great battle like
Buena Vista with as little idea of immortal
izing himself as SHAEsrEARE had in eompos-
log his wondrous plays, or Scorr in his great
historical paintings. Duty was the pole star
of Gen TAYLOR; "Fuss aad Feathers 3" de-
seribes the whole nature of ScoTr. Old ZACk

We understood. yesterday, that Brigadier
General Henry A. Wise, would repair to the
Military Department in the Eastern part of the
State, at very early day, for the purpose of
taking the sense of the people on the present
contest, and to perfect plan of operations for
the disairected portions of the State If the
Ex-Governor can get the chance to have
family chat with some of the traitors infesting
the Northwestern portion of this State, he win
effectually quell and put to hght those ideas of
characterization on which some of the people
| there have been made to act, by the adroit ap-
peal, Of political quaeks and semi abolitionists
of the Garlic and Brown order. If any man
| can arouse In the torpid breasts OF the ram-
| pant Union men of the Northwest one patri-
otic feeling in favor Of State rights and equa-
| lily, it is Governor Wise. If he can succeed in
iniiaming the fast expiring embers Of that pa
triotic feryor which viii make the great North
west u terror to tyrants and tyranny, he viii
have accomplished good work.
