From the Montezums IowsJ Republican,
One of the most degrading scenes that ever
di. graced Legislative assembly was enacted at
Des biOines, last week, On tGe reception OF the
news of the capture Of Fort DoneIsou. Both
Houses Immediately adjourned upon the al-
uouncement Of the glorious intelligence, aud
made preparations for a general " drunk" Ad-
iltant- General Baker mounted desk in the
House, moved the suspension Of the liquor law
for a time. put the motion TO vote, whcH of
course carried, and license was granted for e
grand spree
Headed by the Governor, the Legislature and
State off ,iaIs repaired TO the Dss M0ines House
where, ia a short time, the rafting Of decauters
the tingling of glasses, the guTgiing Of liquors
and the bacchsnalian shouts Of Ieveiry told bGt
too plainly that the upper crust were "goi- z
in" on their hOnoFs. Gov. kTiwOod " spread
himself in fine style before he gUzzled down
his fifteenth glass, and was followed by his pet,

a minister OF the gospel was "nabbed" while

r.bble and requested to make a speech, which h5

Florida Items.

From all we learn from persons lately arrived,
the affairs Of Florida are in a lamenta3.e condl-
ton, owing 10 the iueGiciency Of the oticers IN
command. With the exception Of Col Dowd, OF
the Mississippi regiment, none of the officers
were worthy of their position. The men were
eager for a fight, but were held back by their
commanders. Gen. TTapier has met with the
condemnation Of every mGu, woman aud child IN
Florida and has been hOoted at along the route
he travelled.
In despite Of these adverse circumstances, a
brilliant action was performed by a company OF
Col Davis regiment Isl Florida cavalry This
company commanded by Capt. VIM. Clarke,
took position on bluff on tine st. Mary river,
and swsited the approach of d Federal gun
boat. As they approached, man at her mast
head, espying Clsrkes company, cried out
"here are the damned rebels" " Yes" said
Clarke, here we are 9" With that he raised his
rife, and the lookout dropped dead on tho deck
from bis lofty perch ClaTke's men then gave
three cheers, fred voey, and twenty-five or
thirty of the Federals were killed and wounded
The gUnbOat not being able to contend with our
men thus adTantageOus posted, retreated dis
c1mftted
The evacuation Of FernenLina was conducted
very badly, and much wss> lost owing to the iu-
efficiency of the COlonsi-iu command Ex-S,n-
ator Yllee president of the Florida railroad
was uutUng m his EFFORTS 10 save the PRO H"rty
of the citizens He was iEs last man To lagye
FeTnaudina and was on the train that was fired
on. He escaped by great efforts and proi c,ei
an expedition on Monday night TO bring of tho
train that had been left, which would have been
entirely successful had not the railroad bridge
been set on nre by order of Col Hopkins, in
command, just as the train reached it. Ali tie
Florida troops need to insure success is worthy
commander.
At last accounts battle was being fought on
the mainland botween the Federsiists $500
strong, aud our forces numbering about 2JO0.
There is no doubt that we shall take the whole
Federal force if Gen Trspier does not order
retreat.
SUcb are few items we havo gathered from
those recently from Florida.
We forgot to mention that the steamer S.
