TROUBLE BREWING IN FLoRIDA-The Florida col


respondent of the N. Y. Herald says:
Notwithstanding the fair appearance of things on
the surface there is danger at Fernandina, and
you need hardly be surprised to hear of repetition
of the Memphis and Newbern massacres in this de-
partment of the South The danger arises out Of a
matter which does not at first sight seem to bear any
relation to the position of the whites and negroes
viz: the sale of rebel property in the South by the
tax commissioners. special commissioner has been
sent by the President to investigate these proceed
ings here. and also at Augustine and at Beaufort.
have reason to believe his inquiry will disclose a
succession of gigantic frauds pervadng these sales
from beginning to end.
Instances have been mentioned to me of property
worth three thousand dollars being disposed ef for
less than twenty dollars. of numerous lots being
brought in. and of iegaities of the most palpable
character being committed all round. Under those
circumstances it is evident that tho titles of much
of this coniScated property are very Shaky, and
much i'll feeling naturally prevails between the
Northern purchasers and the Southern former own
ers. Unscrupulous men from the n Orth have taken
advantage of this excited state of the public mind
to urge the negroes TO arm against the id rebels,
who, they tell them, are going to turn them out of
their little lands. am assured on authority can
hardly doubt that the thus melted held meet
ings for drill. and are armed with muskets to the
number of several hundreds. and an accident or an
ipjudicous act may bring about serious outbreak.

We CLEAN the following from the numerous fashion

high quarters, and leaders fashion overwhelmed
with inquiries such as these. Are crinoncs to be

is expected to walk. This problem is solving itself
for crinOlncs gradually disappearing, according
to all accounts but will not totally disappear before
the end of the summer. As to how the ladies viii
walk it is supposed that nature will lend the ladies

trials and it is very likely they will manage to be rs
graceful were their mothers and grandmOtherS

AN oDp REqUEsr...senator Harris, on Thursday,

An ODD REQUEsT--Senator Harris on Thursday,
presented petition of citizens of Florida, who rep
resent that they forced into the rebel army that
they purchased horses for which they gave their
notes.; that the amount of these notes was stopped
out Of their pay. and that they sued by the
holders of these notes for second payment. They
ask Congress to pass law for their protection. Their
proper appeal would to lie to the courts. But
it not easy what they have to do in the mat
ter at all The holders of the notes must bring suit
and as there is no such thing in existence, they viii
probably get no money. Perhaps it would do 10 sue
Yulee or Mallory? But they have been pardoped,
and would answer that the pardon relieves them Of
all responsibility. - v
