The CASE STATED.-Gen. b. Brown, a
Democrat, now serving with bis brigade in
Missouri, recently wrote home to a friend
in Ohio a letter dated jefferson City, Jan.
5th. from which the Toledo Blade extracts
the following:
"Missouri is very quiet. The recruiting
Of negro soldiers has had good effect. All

Atives and Radicals see no other way but

the people of Missouri were far ahead of
the politicians, and that the army unani-
mously sustained the policy Of using me-
groes to fight slave propagandists. Our
Northern Democrats doubted this, but the
result has proved that l was right: But
while the people have learned thatth was
to become the settled policy OF the war,
and that the negro and every other means
will be used in its prosecution, the army
has taken another long stride IN advance
Of them. Looking upon Slavery as the
cause Of the war, the army says, remove

A New Corner stone for the South
Cotton mo- Longer King.

1t is a fact not generally known that
DeBow, the Southern Reviewer, and the
only man at the South possessing attain
ment sufficient to edit first class review,
has been imprisoned by JEFF. Davis and his
ReUieU suppressed in consequence OF an ar
ticle going TO show that cotton was no long
er King. An article based upon indisput-
able figures and facts.
The following are the more important
portions of the article which have caused
DeBows incarceration:
1t is true we have believed that cotton is
king; it is undeniable that we possessed u
monopoly for its production arising out OF
a variety OF causes, but it is not true that it
will grow nowhere else. Indeed, we find
that the production of it in various coun-
tries is increasing in a geometric ratio, and
that in a year or so the South will no long
er be needed to supply the commerce Of the
globe with what we vainly hoped would
grow nowhere else.
Shall we not learn from our enemies
What are the causes of her prosperity :?
WHY do even the laborers of the North live
with degree Of comfort often unknown to
the wealthy planters of the South?
The statistical reports accompanying the
census OF 1860 establish fully the results of
material conditions; and if we admit that
the people Of the North have really hardly
felt the war up to this point, we must look
to and examine the material conditions
which surround them.
They cannot be more prosperous because
thefe is no slavery; certainly it is cheaper to
haNe a slave who labors for you than to Ia
bor:yourself; therefore slave labor IS the
more economical, or rather it was before
the time Of Henry A. Wise and John
Brown. Considering the present condition
of the country, and prospectively, also, it
may we'll be supposed, as it already is 10y
many in the slave States, that it actually
may be more economical to labor for our
selves than to maintain negroes for that
purpose.
We have taken to raising cereals, and
have succeeded SO badly as to make it q
matter of doubt whether we viii not have
eaten everything before the time of green's,
which, when boiled with iowl, are SO priced
by the First Families of Virginia.
In the meantime, the production OF cot
ton is slipping away from US, and We have
already slipped awayinto unknown depths,
and are drifting to II fearful and 70 an I'M
certain future.
The people Of the North live comfortably
more SO indeed than the majority Of the

From ElOrido-The Restoration
Of the State to the Union.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Dec. 30.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Dec. ~.
The late meeting of the loyal citizens OF
Florida, an account Of which you mad by
the last steamer, has already produced an
excellent effect beyond the military lines
in this section of the State. BY some un-
derground process the intelligence was con-
veyed that an effort was being made to re-
store the State to the Union. The moment
it was received, numbers fiOcked TO the
picket lines and expressed desire to take
the oath of allegiance and return TO their
homes TO take up their abode in st. Angus
tine.
All who were sufficiently intelligent to
read and comprehend the Presidents late
Proclamation were willing to abide by 1t,
and were not slow to declare that the mo-
ment Slavery was destroyed the substan-
tial growth and prosperity OF Florida would
commence. Assurances the most positive,
based upon thorough knowledge of the
people. are made on all sides that the mo-
ment military force Of sufficient strength
is sent here to occupy the most important
points in the State, more than One-tenth OF
the original voters will flock to the stand
ard of the Union, and be in favor OF imme-
diate emancipation.
Florida has been the most unfortunate
State in the Union, and although the first
land settled in the United States and al
though untold millions have been expend-
ed uDou her by several nations in turn
through the three hundred years since civ
ilization began its work within her borders,
vet she was at the outbreak Of this Rebel
lion behind all the other States in every
thing that confers character and strength
upon the country. A general knowledge
Of her misfortunes is about all that the
people at the North seem to hear Of her,
and these misfortunes have gone to make
IN her regulations That she cost our Gov
erument S., o00, 900 when she was purchased
from Spain, and that her Indian troubles
have since relieved the treasury OF many
millions more, IS known to al; ana that
She once repudiated her debt, is the most
that capitalists have taken the trouble to
learn Of her.
But how few know-what is really the
fact-that Florida is by far the most lovely
and one Of the most healthy as we'll as most
fertile States i'm the Union. Her climate is
not excelled by that Of any spot on the
earth. Over large part of the State frost
is never seen. And while the Winters are

THE DESERT OF SAHARA.-The discov-
cries of recent African explorers have dis
PEELED many Of the popular notions con-
corning the great desert of Sahara. 1t
used to be described as a nearly level sam
dy plain. This plain, it is now ascertain
ed, does not exist, except at its eastern and
western extremities. The central portions
rise, in the form of terraces, to 800 or l2OO
feet above the valleys of the Atlas and Sou
dan. They are interpersed with ravines
and granite hills. Barth speaks OF noun
tains 1000 or 5000 feet high. In general,
however, the surface of the desert is flat or
slightly undulating; in some places cover
ed with thick bed Of sand, in others hard
and finty. Every aspect confirms the
opinion of Humboldt, that the desert is the
bed of former sea, elevated by geological
commissions. The traveller almost, at
every step meets with mounds Of fossil
shells and other debris Of marine animals.
There are immense deposits of rock salt,
in some places as pure as marble, and SO
compact as to serve in construction Ofhouses.
Soudan derives salt from this source
The etiiOrescence of inter and saltpeter is
almost everywhere apparent. Lions, IL
gers, and other ferOciOus animals with
which the desert has in imagination been
peOpled, are met with only in the forests of
the GASES. where alone they nfind water.
The lion is the king Of the desert only in
poetry. Man is the true wild animal with
whom the traveller breads an encounter,
and bandits infest every caravan route in
the Sahara.
The Sahara is not always destitute of wa
ter. In passing between the tropics. the
sun carries with him heavily laden MINI
bus clouds, which, not meeting with any
mountains high enough to condense their
moisture and cause it to fall at intervals,
descend occasionally by their own gravity.
and drop their watery treasures in gushing
torrents, which fill every ravine. 1t is a
deluge which lasts but for a moment; the
water disappears in the permeable soil as
fast as it came, and forms extensive sheets
of water a short distance below the surface.
This fact has been revealed by numerous
soundings. Already excellent artesian
wells, sunk by French engineers, have
created verdant GASES in places where
every vestige of vegetation appeared to be
eternally buried beneath the sand. But
these hidden lakes, on which the desert
partly reposes, are not a recent discovery.
From time immemorial the Arabs have
sunk in the open desert wells several hun
bred feet deep, till they met the watery bed,
which they called the subterranean sea-

But Two PARTIEs.-In his speech at the
banquet to the Irish Brigade, on Saturday
evening, General Meagher thus pertinent
ly presented the question Of parties in the
Union at this time:
.'There are but two parties in this coun-
try: one, the Federal armies under Abra-
ham Lincoln; and the other, the rebel arm
les under jeff. Davis. These are the only
two parties in the country to-day; and I'M
til the party headed by Davis has been ut
torly routed and annihilated, stand by
your party. 1t is the party Of the country,

The San Francisco Bulletin says, upon
The authority Of trustworthy statistics. that
the nopulation of that city, amounting to
about 100000 persons, consumes daily
ninety-seven thousand eight hundred and
t;ftv-fwo pounds of meat. 1t adds that
San Francisco probably consumes moro
animal food than any city Of the same size
il the whole country.
