A SENSIBLE "SoUrHERN VIEW.
The most rational and ststesmaulike edi
torial We have seen in any Southern
psper since the opening Of the new era,
il the following, from paper lately
started 10 Jacksonville, Florida:
Tbs 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 Justification, are, even IN the
South, exploded d"gmas; the African
race is not to be expatriated the general
government aud all in authority should
be heartily sustained; official corruption
exposed; rebels amnestied or pardoned
are rebels no more, but citizens Of the
United States, and entitled to all prop
erty, civil and political rights; impris-
onment and the confscstion 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 harmonic in spirit with
t TIN G q GgTssFBR61t AID
The questions Of extending the elective
franchise to the coIored population, and
mary others are open for discussion, and
We solicit the views Of the best thinkers
in our State. Our own will be forthcom
ing in due time. War, d stiny or Prov
idence, has irrevocably adjudged that tbe
place of Florida is 10 the Union, and II
is for her interest that perfect unity Of
action exist between her and the Geners
Government.
..Proceed with Thy ELEPHANT"
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial tells a good story about a'
old Quaker of Columbsna county, nance

sitiop:
ga few weeks since Van Amberg'

passing over the road with his elephant
discovered this pseudo Quaker seate
, upon fence by the roadside watching
bull which he had turned out upon tn
, road, and which was paving, bsllowln
aud throwing up tremendous dust gel

breed that butted the locomotive OF Il

preaching, while the bull redoubled

, Friend shavey, rubbing his hands wi
a delight at the prospect of an approae

great confidence in the invincibility
