would take occasion to alude in this letter
to what minated in former communication,
and at present universally known here, that very
many good men, who had been led astray by the
misrepresentation and excitement made at The
beginning of this rebellion, have become so thor
oughly sick and Disguised with the disastrous
suits that have attended it, that they not only
heartily lament ever associating themselves with
such traitorous body, but are rapidly returning
TO their old allegiance, and making great
efforts to repair the injury already committed,
and 20 further the interest OF the Federal Gov
eminent.
The publication Of resolutions, personal e1pla-
nations. &c, in some of the journals in this sec
ton relative to the actions of representatives IN
the Convention that convened TO consider the or
dinance of Secession, fuzzy corrOborate what has
already been ntimated, that many, very many of
the members of that body were bitterly opposed
to every line of this act. Again: other members,
against the expressed wishes OF their constituents,
voted for it, and afterward received that express
sion Of disOpprobation that their conteHptuous
acts me rited. As an Illustration Of the feelings
of certain influential citizens in this respect,
append the following preamble and resolutions,
passed unanimously at large meeting held at
Greenwood, Florida, in the latter part OF Jahu-
airy:

As further illustration, | clip from The Hest

at Mariauna--and whose motto Is, "The Consti-

Of letter from very prominent gentleman in
that vicinity, in which be asks some extremely
pertinent questions. He says

This is but one Of many similar letters recently
published and it merits that consideration BY the
citizens Of the North which is due TO it, To
your correspondent, it is favorable omen, and
il will not be long ere the indignation so justly
felt by the writer, will be shared by thousands Of
others; then look out for that mighty wave Of re-
action which will again plant the stars and stripes

short time since, Capt. r. l.. Sweetman and
Mfr. Il. d. Williams Of Pensacola made 1t their
business to send The TrIEUsE which contained
uy last letter on board this ship, accompanied BY
a note demanding by whom The letter was writ
fen The satisfaction they received did not repay
| them for their trouble; do not think they VIII
.ttempt it again. That letter produced much
commotion among the rebels in tbs section, as
! ,bev are unwilling to allow their abominabe
actions To be known. When anything IN particu-
lar occurs again, depend upon me to appfise you.
