The end of the Florida.

II was announced last week that the pi-
rate vessel Florida had been sunk in
Hampton Roads, by an accidental collision
with a United States steamer. Our rea-
ders well recollect the circumstances at
tending the seizure of this Confederate
cruiser in the port Of Bahia, Brazil, by
Capt. Collins, OF The U. S. steamer Wach-
usett The act has been condemned by
foreign nations as plain infraction Of neu
trality laws, and, it is said, that demand
was to have been made at once BY France
and England upon the United States for
the delivery up of The Florida to Brazil,
or rather to place her back in the position
from which she had been wrongly taken
It was rumored, only the day before the
sinking Of the florida, that Mr.. Seward,
with his usual alacrity in such cases, was
making ready to comply, when 10 the
Florida is accidentally surk in nine faith
oms Of water OF course, the Florida can
not be returned now. All the demands
in creation cannot raise sunken vessel.
Bat will this be the end of the matter (?
An indemnfication in money can be made,
but this does not supply the place Of a
swift cruiser. 1t will be interesting to
watch the full developments of this matter

TOWN AND COUNTRY


,hay begin. TO cast about to see what
measures TO adopt in order to 9erpe,ua'e
their rule.
One Of the strongest elements in that
party is know-nothingism, which is now
seeking to have its odous creed and ne-
farious principles engrafted into the laws
OF our land, ss the following taken from
the editorial columns of the Manitowoc
Tribune, amply testifes:
"No man can vote IN Massachusetts un-
!e,s be can read the Constitution in he
English language and write his name. If
such was the law in Wisconsin, the Union
men would carry the State By fifty thou
sand majority"
This is supposed to reflect the true SEN
timents Of he Yankee c9ique who control
the Tribune, and the finger-mark OF that
concern to signify TO the powers which
will soon assemble at cur Capitol, that

Another Rebel Raid into West
Virginia.

The following is from the Point Pleasant,
West Virginia, Herald, of last week:
Last week we were again notified of the
presence of the notorious Peter Carpenter
IN Putnam county, and to our surprise some
of his horse thieves came within one mile
of Point Pleasant and stole several horses
and found them to be unfit for rebel service
taking them five or six miles below town,
exchanged them for better lot. When
will this section of the State be rid of these
long fingered gents? Pete Carpenter has
been terror to the citizens of Putnam and
part OF Mason counties, ever since the be-
ginning Of the war; he comes and goes
when he pleases. We hope our troops will
stop this daredevil from robbing any more
of our citizens. We are informed that his
gang robbed the store of Afford Brown, of
Putnam county, Of all his goods that were
worth taking away.
Since writing the above, we are informed
that j. L. Mitchell, George Neal, Dick Neal
and Andrew George, of this county, have
been captured, and William Shields was
killed. Our troops captured four others,
names not known.

Guerrillas on the Nashville Railroad.
They Rob the Hands ON the Road
ofSl,aOO.

The Louisville Democrat Of Thursday last
says:
From persons who arrived on the Nash
vile train last evening we learn that a
party of guerrillas made their appearance
on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
on Monday evening, at O point between
Franklin and Mitchell, where number of
hands were at work repairing the road.
They Immediately arrested the men and
robbed them of their hard earnings, which
amounted to some $1,000. From one man
they got $551. The guerrillas were under
the command of one Harper, i notorious
character, and after robbing the men they
released them and moved Off in an eastward
direction.
The road is full of guerrillas who are
committing all sorts of depredatiOns upon
the citizens, and upon one or two occasions
they have endeavored to throw the train off
the track by, placing Instructions in the
way, and on two different occasions the
rails have been misplaced. The train which
left here Tuesday morning was attacked at
point some fifteen miles this side of Nash
vile by a party of men. Several stones
were thrown through the windows of the
cars, and one lady narrowly escaped being
seriously injured. Parties who make un-
provoked attacks upon trains containing
women and children are nothing more than
fiends in human shape, and when captured
should be severely punished.
We also learn that 8 party of guerrillas
crossed the road yesterday morning below
Elizabethtown, going in the direction of
Hodgenvile. The party is said to number
about one hundred men, but under whose
command we were unable tolearn. Differ
ent portions of our State are overrun with
these prowling bands of guerrillas, who
move about unrestricted, robbing and muir
dering the peaceable citizens, and some eff
forts should be made to capture the guilty
parties and bring them to Justice.

Astounding Custom House Revela-
t1Ona.

The New York World of Friday contains
a detailed report, making certain disclos-
ures in connection with the Federal Custom
House service in that city. 1t exhibits a
mass of rottenness and corruption absolute
ly startling. The World gives the follow
ing brief summing up of the revelations
made, by stating that the account shows:
First That a person guilty of no crime
against the United States has been kept i'm
Fort Lafayette for four months because his
testimony would serve to prove custom
house officer to be corrupt and dishonest.
Second, That we have kept a person in
prison whose only crime was that he was
injuring the Confederates by circulating
bogus Confederate notes and bonds in the
Southern States.
Third, That one of the officers of the
Custom House, having the confidence of
Mr.. Barney and great influence with him,
was on terms of the closest intimacy with
rebel agents in this city, assisting them in
their schemes, and finally, when the order
was issued from Washington for their ar
rest, aiding them to escape from the coun-
try.
Fourth, That a system is in vogue by
which every person accused of corruption
In the New York Custom House, and who
has been arrested, is released from custody
for fear he may implicate other of the ap-
pointees Of Mr.. Barney.
Fifth, That while an innocent citizen is
kept in military fort for months without a
scintilla of evidence by which he could be
legally held, his accuser, a Custom House
officer, known and proved to be rogue, is
allowed the freedom of the city through
the direct Intervention Of the United States
officials. 9E-

field as such, upon their own request or the
\ call of the President. This is something an
unsophisticated Western backwoodsman
would be apt to call lawyers quibbling"
or In homely phrase, whipping the devil
round the stump"
| But here is where the lie, or ''the question
of veracity" comes in between President
LINCOLN and General SCHENcK. AS soon
as the message of Mr.. LINCOLN, in answer
to the resolution of inquiry,was read In the
House, the General said he was not In any
sense in the military service, his resignation
having been formally rendered and accepted
This conflicts directly with Mr.. LINCoLN's
statement that ScHENcK and BLAIR's resig-
nations had been filed for forms sake, and
could be withdrawn at any time without
consulting the Senate. Mr.. LINCOLN had
referred in his message of explanation to
certain letters, notes, kilograms, &c, in
connection with the ScHENCK and BLAIR
cases, which he believed would throw no
additionall light upon the subject, but which,
he said, would be cheerfully furnished, If
desired. General ScHENCK proposed to Of
fer resolution calling for these documents,
and though the House on Friday refused to
table resolution, offered by Mr.. DAWES, OF
Massachusetts, to the same effect as that of
General ScHENCK's, no definite action was
taken thereon, the majority probably fear
ing that unpleasant disclosures might be
the result.

orally agreed that in the language of
Washington dispatch to that most 'loyaP'
paper, the Cincinnati Gazette, ''putting the
sage of the President, it is simply an at
tempt to justify an illegal act by a state
ment that similar illegalities were promised
to ScHENcK, while the latter upsets even
this plea by denying that he had any such
promise or understanding" A Washing
ton dispatch of Friday, to the same '1oyal"
sheet, says that in conversation ScHENcK
has been even more emphatic than he was
the day before in the House, fatty contra
dieting the President, or in other words,
giving him ''the lie direct" and adding that
Mr.. LINCOLN was perfectly familiar with
all the facts, because they were all recapit-
ulated to him in conversation three weeks
ago. But ScHENcK is 'loyal" man, and
so is BLAIR, and CHASE, and the rest of the
Abolition family-all, all intensely "loyal."
