R6r The debate upon the proposed ex-
pulsion of Mr.. Bright is continued from ses-
sion to session in the Senate, but will
probably close to-day. The last speech in
defence of Mr.. Bright was from Mr.. Sauls-
bury, who, during the heat of the debate,
said enough to show that he himself is not
above suspicion Such defences will only
make Mr.. Bright's case worse. The true
issue is fairly stated by Mr.. Davis, when he
declared that the Senator who does not sus-
tain the government by voting men and
money, fails in his official duty, in conse-
quenee of his opinion, and he becomes
amenable to be proceeded against upon a
resolution for expulsion. Mr.. Bright, in
his own defence, only says he is Opposed
to coercion" If this means anything, it
means that he is opposed to putting down
the rebellion by force of arms; that he SYM
pathizes with those who seek to destroy the
government, and that it is his purpose to
embarrass the Administration as much as
lies in his power, in its efforts to defeat the
conspirators. No man entertaining such
sentiments is fit person to represent the
State Of Indiana on the floor of the Senate
and we shall rejoice to know that he is re-
placed by loyal man. ... -....

IMPORTANT FROM FLoRIDA-CEDAR KEYS
OCCUPIED BY THE ENEMY.-The Savannah
News learns from a gentleman Just arrived
from Florida, that the Town of Cedar Keys,
Florida, situated at the Western or Gulf
terminus of the Florida railroad, was taken
possession of by the Yankees on Thursday
last.
Cedar Keys is a small town with about
thirty houses, and probably one hundred
inhabitants. The bar has nine feet of water.
and is good harbor for small vessels. At
the time the Yankees took the place there
were three schooners loading and five fish
ing smacks at the wharves. Our inform
ant, who had an interest in one of the
schoOners which was loaded with lumber
and turpentine, feels confident that the own
ers of the vessels in port destroyed them.
rather than that they should fall into the
hands of the enemy. Some time since, the
Confederate troops were " ithdrawn from
the vicinity of Cedar Keys.
On Thursday night last, az soon as il was
ascertained that the Yankees intended to
attack the town, Mr.. Uhler, President of
the railroad, went down with two compa-

Cedar Keys was sent to Gainesville, Florida.
the nearest Geographic office, to telegraph
to Gen Trapier that the Federals had at
tackled the town, and asking him to send
assistance. During Thursday, firing in the
direction of Cedar Keys was heard in the
adjacent county, and conflict had no doubt
taken place between the Yankees and the
Florida troops Charleston Mercury.

s@~ Mr. William KuFtz, the editor of the
Princeton Clarion, having taken in bust
ness partner, announces the course he in
tends pursuing. He says:-
There will be no change in the editorial
department. nor in the sentiment of its COL
umns-they will still breath the free and
untrammeled thoughts of one who is no
willing slave of hacks or party drill, but
with an eye single to the good of the coun-
try and the maintenance of her institutions,
he will neither spare friend or foe. Par
ticularly in this crisis of our history, we
have drawn the sword and thrown away the
scabbard, swearing "eternal hostility to
every form" of treason, whether shown in
the North or South.
We love the " Clarion," for we stood god
father at its birth, we breathed into it the
breath of life-nursed it in its infancy-and
drew sustenance from it in its manhood,
and will stand by it until the " last plan K
is shivered from under US. We have b. II

sG~ We publish in another column q
communication from gentleman in Rock
port relative to filling tbs vacancy in the
United States Seuate, in case Jesse d.
Bright is expelled from that body. We
cheerfuIly endorse all be says in regard to
Judge DeBruler, and feel confident that
Gov. Morton could make no appointment
that would give more general satisfaction,
than by sending Judge DeBruler to the
Senate. He is a gentleman of eminent
ability, splendid DICTATOR, and would fill
the seat with honor to himself and constitu-
ents. Southern Indiana is certainly en-
titled to the U. s. Senate, and no better
man could be found to fill the vacancy than
Judge Deb ruler.

RT The London Times-disappointed
in its hope of seeing a third struggle be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
is busily engaged in aattering the vanity
of its English admirers, by telling of the
many wonderful things their Government
was prepared to do. A list of the vessels
of war sent to the American coast is enume-
r. :, their capacity and power, with the
number of guns mounted, given and the
English public is gravely informed, that
with such q feet, Admiral Milne could
establish " total and most effective block
ade of all the Federal ports in single
week" We are also informed-by way,
we presume, of convincing us of the folly
Of disputing any position Johnny Bull may
assume on any question of maritime law
that Great Britain's four iron-clad frigates
could easily force passage through the
Narrows to New York Bay and dictate her
own terms of peace, by laying the feet
broadside on to the streets of New York
and Hoboken. In addition, we are told that
q single vessel at each port closes Boston
and Portland, and two off Cape May would
be ample for the Delaware river and the
trade of Philadelphia
This is an old game of brag with which
the American people are perfectly familiar,
and in which the English people are at kb-
erty to indulge to their hearts content, since
it don't Brighten US and gratifies them. Bur
goyne felt confident that with two or three
regiments of English veterans, he could
march from one end OF the country to the
other; but he failed to get half way across
single State, though be had dozen regi-
msnts, backed by host of Indians.
Prior to the late Uar, our miniature ma
Wy was booted at and ridiculed as not wor-
thy moments consideration; but the Sc
quel of the contest proved that the Grace is
not always to the swift nor the battle to the
strong" English arrogance was humbled,
and the stars and stripes were planted in
triumph &C the mast heads of some of the
finest frigates in the. British Navy. Very
possibly a third engagement between the
two countries will not result otherwise than
the former struggles, and England may sor-
rowfully realize that ways and means can
be found by an active and ingenius people,
of resisting, successfully, even as formidable
vessels as the Warrior and Black Prince.
The disproportion between our own and
the British navy is not SO great now as it
was in 1912. Our resources and facilities
now are four times as great as then,
and our people as active, patriotic and
brave. It is true we have formidable con-
sPiracy to contend with, and in that really
consists the secret of the great desire of
some OF the English press, to provoke hos
tilities tween the two countries. It is not
because they believe the English govern
ment is so much stronger than ours that
their boastings are so loud, but because
they think they shave us FOUL" through
the instrumentality of the rebellion. But
we will outlive the insurrection, and we
will exist as a nation of free people long
enough to one day teach Great Britain in
turn the lesson she is forcing Us to learn at
this juncture of our troubles.

RoeKPoRT, Ind, January 81, 1862.
EDS. JoURNAL:-In the event of the ex-
pulsion, or retiring of Jesse D. Bright from
the U. S. Senate, the duty will dev6lve upon
Gov. Morton to appoint a successor. The
'Pocket" is justly eRtitled to a representa-
tive in that branch of our National Legis-
ture, and no one, | think, is more Justly
entitled to the appointment, or will give
greater satisfaction to the people, than
Judge L. Q. DeBrnler, of Spencer county.
Judge DeBruler is too well known, TO
make any mention of his qualifications for
the position necessary.
We hazard the opinion that his appoint
ment will be hailed with pleasure by all par
ties. In such times as the present, the
country needs the services of such men as
Judge DeBruler in the councils of our ma
ton, and we trust Gov Morton will ap-
point him if vacancy occurs VrAToR.

whatthe London Papers saw

The English papers received per steamer
Europa, contain lengthy articles on the snr
render of Mason and Slideu. The London
Times deals in the most costic abuse of Ma
son and Slidell, personally and warns the
people against making any display, either
from respect or curiosity, in their behalf, on
their arrival. They are both desc ribed as
trading "reyilers" and q haters" of England,
and it is asserted that in her eyes, they are
of no more consequence than "two of their
own negroes" and scarcely 60 important as

Examination of the IsabIlc schools.

Examination OF the P0bIIc Schools.
We attended for short time yes erday
morning the examination of the i" Second
Boys intermediate School taught by
Miss Hanna. This school is composed Of
boys, ranging from seven to twelve years of
age. We could not but admire the perfect
system governing the recitations of the
different classes. The movements of the
scholars were directed by the tap of bell
on the teachers table, and the quietness
and promptness with which the boys left
their seats and took their respective places
was as gratifying to the visitors, as the cor
rectness with which they afterwards recited
the lessons assigned them. 1t indicated
the care taken by the teachers to iucuIca q
the important lesson that "0rder is
Heavens first law" Mr.. Wheeler, the
Trustee, conducted the examination for the
most part, and it was as thorough and i'm
partial as possible.
The last class of the morning was SPELL
ing class. A noticeable feature Of the reci-
tation was the correctness with which the
boys accented the words given out for them
to spell. In reading, the scholars pay
marked attention to the proper infection of
the voice. To read well, is a rare accom-
plishment and it is matter of congratula-
ton that this subject is fairly understood by
the teachers in the public schools.
We were not able to attend the examina-
ton of Miss Vance's school in the afternoon.
A friend who was present speaks in the
highest terms of the school, and especially
OF spelling class of young Misses Mr..
Wheeler tried in vain to give them word
they could not spell correctly. The exami-
ton was very interesting and gratifying to
the visitors and Trustee and Superinten-
dent.

seen " hat schools are to he examined to-
day.
