SOUTHERN PAPERS Some poorly informed
persons imagine that there are no out-spoken
papers against secession in the South. They
are badly deceived To say nothing of the
Knoxville Wing, old Brownlows paper, the
Memphis Bulletin is indignant that the tele-
graph erred in stating that the Convention
election in Tennessee resulted in giving a
majority to two secessonists in that State -
Ihe Bulletin says that not solitary Seces-
sionist was elected, and declares the report
libel upon the patriotism of the State. The
Nashville Democrat goes so far as to recon-
mend the General Government to indict Jeff
Davis as a traitor, and offer reward for his
apprehension.

of them are large claims containing from
three to five hundred yards each. The aarj

sold to the company now working it. 1t is

it is hardly possible that the nature of the

GRIZZLY VIsIroR.-One night last week, a
grizzly bear visited the house of Thomas
Riggs, at Flat Creek. in Shasta county, and
finding the doors open, he marched in, smclt
the children's faces, poked his nose into the
face of son of Mr.. Riggs who gave him IA
slap on the side of the head, at which his
bearship walked out; came back again, went
into the kitchen, helped himself to piece of
meat, and departed. The next night they
watched for Mr.. grizzly-he made his APP
pearance, coming within ten PAGES of the per-
son who had the gun, the cooking of which
frightened him, and he left instanter. The
gun was fired, but without effect. SO we are

Effects Of Secession in Florida.
From the n. Y. Times.

A gentleman who arrived recently from
Florida, has called at the Times Office, ard
furnished us with some interesting items Of
news. He eoroborates the accounts that
VIE have from time to time published iu re-
gard to public opinion at the South Sc
eession In Florida was not effected by the
vote Of the people-on the contrary, ev-
cry effort was made to prevent an honest
vote being taken. The Legislature, which
directed that convention be chosen, only
allowed five days to intervene between
the notice and the election. The conse-
quence was that the country people, who
were opposed to secession, had no cppor-
tunity to vote, and the people Of the towns
had it all their own way. No one in Flor
ida entertains doubt that a majority of
property holders are Union and conserva-
tive-for proposition made in the Con-
vention 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 nothing to
loss-and. for the present, they rule su-
preme, As an instance of the spirit that
prevails, it is related that a Floridian,
within the last month, entered the store
Of a Northern man and stabbed him four
times. without any provoeation whatever
Rushing out into the street, with the drip
ping weapon in his hand, he shouted:
This is the blood Of a Cd d-n Yam
kee: let US serve them all so - For this
brutal murder the perpetrator was elected
to the Florida Convention. Our infor-
mant though himself an owner of negroes,
and an advocate Of the institution of sla-
very, was twice fred at for wearing an
Union eockade. A man in Florida who
openly processes loyalty to the Union, is
called an Abolitionist and is lucky if he es-
capes being lynched.
The legitimate effects of secession have
already made their appearance in Florida.
Poor people are beginning to feel hungry.
Pork is $50 barrel, -four S13, corn ST.
rs and cats 81. Establishments which
few mouths ago had eight clerks, have now
only one Small towns which were th.iv-
ing, have suddenly checked Of their growth
and have desolate appearance. All who
can are making preparations to come
north OF course, ne northern born peo-
Pile will willingly remain at the south az
ter secession, for loyalty is to them NOR
al obligation and word of some meaning.
But there is something singular in the fact
that every one, with any property to save,
should be eager to reach some place where
life and property can be secured to them
In Florida, proprietors have already been
taxed Sl4 per head for their negro prop
erty. and negroes which sold for $1,000
each six months ago would net now fetch
$500. When our informant left. there
was nothing in the State Treasury, and
there is every probability that secession
will ultimately throw Florida back into a
wilderness, and make the State suitable
domain for Seminoles and Camanches.
