A SENSIBLE "SoUTHERN VIEw."-
The most rational and ststesmanlike edi
torial We have seen in any Southern
paper since the opening Of the new era,
Is the following, from . paper lately
started in Jacksonville, Florida:
The rebellion is subdued and the war
ended slavery has passed away, and can
never, in any form, be revived peace
and good will should be the mission Of
every individual member Of society
State sovereign y. and the rights of Sc
cession and Modification, are, even in the
South, exploded d"gmas; the African
race is not to be expatriated the general
government and all in authority should
be heartily sustained official corruption
exposed; rebels amnestied or pardoned
are rebels 90 more, but citizens Of the
United States, and entitled to all prop
erty, civil and political rights; 'mpris-
onmens and the confscation of property
should take place only in aggravated
cases; the prosperity of the State depends
upon the speedy and earnest inauguration
Of free labor; the law should give 20 one
class an advantage over another; the
freedmen are citizens of the United States
and part Of the body polite their ele,
vation is essential to the peace and vel
fare of the State facilities for general
education should be secured by State
legislation !; the State Government, to be
formed, should hsrmonize in spirit with
ths tlSa Gs9fFn q AID
The questions of extending the elective
franchise to the colored population, and
many others are open for discussion, and
We solicit the views Of the best thinkers
in our State. Our own will be for,hcom
ing in due time. War, d stiny or Prov
ideuce, has irrevocaby adjudged that the
place of Florida is in the Union, and it
is for her interest that perfect unity Of
action exist between her and the General
Government.
ssProceed with Thy Elephant"
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial tells good story about an
old Quaker of Columbisna county, named
Shavcy, noted for his belligereut dlspo-
sitiop:
"a few weeks since Van Amberg's $
Menagerie, travelling through Columbi-
ana, was obliged to pass his residence -
A little before daylight, Nash, the keep
er of the elephant Tippoo saib, as he was
passing over the road with his elephant,
discovered this pseudo Quaker seated
upon fence by the roadside watching
bull which he had turned out upon the
road, and which was paving, believing
and throwing up a tremendous dust gen
orally. In fact, from the fury Of the
animals demonstrations, one would real
" have taken him for one of the identica
breed that butted the locomotive of th
bridge.
Take that bull out Of the way,
shouted Nash ~ he approached.
"Proceed with thy elephant was th
) reply.
"If you don't take that bull away b
will get hurt" continued Nash, ap
preaching, while the bull redoubled hi
belligereut demonstrations.
"Don't trouble thyself about tho bul
but proceed with thy elephant" retorte
Friend Shavey, rubbing his hands wit
delight at the prospect Of an approach
