EMIGRATION TO FLORIDA. Wood
Davinson, contributorial editor of
the Yorkville Enquirer, writing from
Columbia, says:
We are advisedfh General Ely,
of Freedman's Bureau fame, is again
among us engaged in the philanthro-
pic work of engaging negroes to go,
ana providing transportation for
them Cora consideration to Florida,
with the view of getting the eighty
acre land grant made by the United
States Congress. Our informant
states that more than five hundred
freedmen have put down their
names to co. from this city; and
others from the adjacent country.
Some Of the freedmen look with
suspicion upon all such movements,
whenever they emanate from the lati-
tude from which Gen. Ely halls.
They have had too much Northern
assistance already.

TREASURE TRovE In the washed
banks of a ravine, which juts into
the Mississippi River, a few miles
below Wolf Island, there was, a few
days ago, discovered by Missouri
hunter, keg which the finder first re-
garded as keg of powder, but, on at
tempting to remove it from its resting
place, he foundit defied his efforts
He thereupon employed a hatchet
which he carried in his belt, and
dashing in the head of the keg, was
both astonished and gratiied at a
shower of gold and silver coin, that
fell with musical jingle all around
him. The keg contained 100000 in
eagles, $3.50 in half-eagles, $3.50 in
quarter-eagles, and $40 in silver.
There was nothing in or on the keg
to indicate who buried it there, or
when it was buried. From appear
ances, however, it is believed that it
was placed there at the outbreak of
the rebellion.

Friday Morning, December 81, 1866.
Perpetual Congress.

The first step towards a popular
despotism, would be the establish
ment of o perpetual Congress. 1t
would give that. body q power, that
would scarcely have limit, and the
Executive and Judiciary departments
would become mere puppets in the
hands of the Congress. The wisdom
of the fathers of the republic, in di-
viding the functions of Government
into three departments, is apparent
to all who will examine the subject
This division was intended to estab-
1ish set of checks and balances, that
would secure justice to all sections Of
the Union, and to all classes of the
people.
AS long rs these several branches
remained true to the Constitution
and to the ancient landmarks, there
was no danger to the liberties of the
people or to the integrity of the
Union. But unfortunately, as we
have asserted heretofore, the tenden-
cy Of radicalism is greatly towards
anarchy and despotism. The people
of the Southern States will have still
to watch and wait
