"INDEPENDENT IN ALL THINGS---N - EUTRAL IN NONE." HARRISBURG, PA, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, DECEMBER 12, 1861 An Inside View of Life at the South. A GOOD-HUMORED PRIVATE LETTER FROM A FLORI-. From the Buffalo Courier, Bee. 4..1 By the courtesy of one of our citizens we are permitted to publish the following letter from a gentleman of high standing, mid decidedly the most able lawyer in Florida. Humorous and un guarded as it is, it casts much light on the state of feeling and condition of things in the South ; and.his positive prediction as to the end of this war is indicative of some reason operating on his mind, which is unknown to us: "Most High, Most Mighty and Most Puissant Antipode : Sometimes a vessel manages to run over from Savannah, or else Nassau, New Pro vidence, and with the expectation that one will be going from thence in a few days, I think proper to try and report myself. lf, therefore, this should ever teach you, be pleased to under stand that I and my household are well. Not withstanding the whole South seems to be turned into a military camp. I have been of late and, stilt am much occupied in professional matters, and I write this under the influence of whip and spur, for I am to be off to-morrow morning to_St. Augustine to attend the Confed erate court, where divers cases and questions of Prize Sequestration, &c., must be discussed and disposed of, and as there is now not a solitary lawyer residing there, no, not even —, thei e is n• , library, and I must select my books and authorities and lug them along, for in these days of distrust and ce . contt, no court is going to believe the law is so and so, merely because I say so. It must be read from a book. Printed paper, bound in sheep or calf, manufac tured by asses, becomes an oracle, and reason, principle and common sense are silenced and laughed out of countenance. Well, lamin a hurry, but i write you a line to say God bless you. I hope you and Mm, are well, and I want to propose to you, if this d—d war con tinues, to go out to Nassau this winter to avoid tne cold, and if you will, I promise positively to go over from here and visit you. Now do it. The British steamers, you know, between Ha vana and New York, stop at Nassau twice a month, and. I need not tell how much more comfortable they are in every way than an American steamer. Pray take my advice foronce. "Fate, Providence, or the Devil interfered last year and retained you in Arctic quarters. Now take my advice, take the reins into your hands or let 'Mrs:.— have them, which is perhaps still better, and pack up early and go out to Nassau, I dolt know much about the place ; but I do know the climate is warm there, and moreover it is English, and according to my experience it is more safe, com fortable, respectable and quiet among the Eng lish, wherever they govern, than with any other_people on the earth. And, although that is a matter of little consequence, I presume liv ing in Nassau is cheap. I should like to live there a while, however, just for economy's sake. Pray, have you .any idea of our pricos here. Pork $5O ptl,r barrel ; butter fifty cents per pound ; lard forty cents. I have paidthese prices this day : Soap also thirty-five tents per pound, and in short, pretty much every thing else in the same ratio, except per haps flour. But, we don't seem to mind it except, that •it seems to me it makes us hun gry, for I can swear we eat more than we ever did in peaceable times. We have raised this season abundant crops of all kinds of pro visions in the South. This is attributed to Providence, but I understand he has dune the same thing for our enemies. His position there fore is not very well defined, if the real truth• could be got at, he is on our side, still, .I am inclined to think that the making our crop for this year, he left pretty much to our niggers. I mean to say that if it hadn't.been for the ntyyers, I don't think much of a crop watt& have been made. " Well, I cannot tell you how much I wish that you and Mrs. could come and pass the winter. with us. We could go boating (when there is no wind). We could go down to the bar or to Indian river, or to Cedar Keys and eat oysters and do in fact whatever we pleased. As it is, I don't believe this war can last•till spring, now mark my word. It can't last, and there is no: reason on earth why it should. No matter—you and I cannot discuss it, but the fact is it cannot in my judgment last. Never mind, you and airs. pack up and go out to Nassau, and write me as often as you can; and enclose the letters as aforesaid. With my love to Mrs. [how is that knee '0 I am very truly yours, _." Henry Clay and the Southern Con- There are some sentences in the running de bate in the United States Sen de in 1850, fol lowing Henry Clay's speech on the admission of California, which, strange as they seemed then to an unsuspecting North, sound starting ly familiar now. Some one had reminded Mr. Clay that his position was a very strange one for aSenator from a slaveholding State. He said: " I have heard something said on this and a former occasion, about allegiance to the South. I know no South, no North, nor East, nor West, to which I owe any allegiance. My alle giance is to this Union and to my State, but if gentlemen suppose they can exact from 97113 an acknowl edgment of rat viance to any ideal or future contem plated Confederacy of the South, 1 here declare that 1 owe no allegiance to it, nor will I, for one, couie under any such allegiance. I know what my 'duties are, and gentlemen may cease to remind me of the fact that I come from a slaveholding State." At the close of Mr. Clay's remark, Senator Foot replied : " I was quite startled by one remark that fell from the lips of the honorable Senator from Kentucky. He insinuates that he fears that some persons in the South are aiming to estab lish a Southern Confederacy. What did the honorable Senator mean by disclaiming so emphati cally all allegiance to a Southern Confederacy, now or hereafter ?" Mr. Clay—" The honorable Senator knows perfectly well that the language, as used here, again and again, is ' treachery to the South,' abandoning the South,' failing to uphold the interests of the South.' Now, what I meant.to say was, that I knew of no South in the shape of a Confederated Government ; no South to which I owed allegiance." THE SONS OF SENATOH DOUGLAS.—It will be re collected that a few days since a messenger from Gov. Reed, of North Carolina, came under a flag of truce to Gen. Hooker's Division, and was thence forwarded to Washington. His mission was to procure the children of Senator Douglas to be sent south, to prevent the confis casion of their estate in Mississippi by the rebel government. Mrs. Douglas, who has the guar dianship of the sons of the deceased Senator, very properly refused to listen to the proposi tion* contending that the children belonged_to EMI "JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 26, 1861 federacy. BY THECIAth. Front our Morning Edition• FROM WASHINGTON. The President Declines to Communicate to Congress the Correspondence rela tive to the Mexican Intervention. Another Appropriation Asked for by the Quartermaster's Department. The Announcement of Col. Baker's Death. PRESIDENT LINCOLN VISITS TAE SEE- ATE CHAMBER Another Misrepresentation by Br Rusell. WYSHINGTON, Dec. 11 The President has declined to communicate to Congress any communication addressed to him by the governments of England, France and Spain, in regard to the armed intervention proposed by them on the affairs of Mexico. He deems it inexpedient at this exigency to do so. The Quartermaster's Department has asked Congress for an appropriation of one million dollars in addition to the million and one hun dred thousand voted at the extra session to meet expenses for the armed flotilla, on the Western waters. The President occupied a seat beside Vice President Hamlin to-day during the delivery of the eulogies consequent on the death of Sena tor Baker. The visits of the President to eithek Houses of Congress are of rare occurence excepting on business during the last hours of the session, and this is the first instance of the kind certainly within the past quarter of a cen tury. The Kentucky Congressional delegatien de clare that if the Republican caucuses continue to be held, they will call a Union caucus, in order to see whether party:spirit shall prevail or not. Col. Mulligan, of Lexington renown, now here, has assurances that authority will be given him to raise another regiment in Illinois. The .611 owing Pennsylvania soldiers died" Dints m~ last despatch : John Buckwalter, Fourth Rrgiment ; John Smith, Forty-seventh; Wm. Berringer, Eleventh ; Isaac Kelley, Twelfth; Daniel Strawcutter, Forty-fifth, and Frederick Wetzinger, Fourth. The select committee appainted by the Speak er on that branch of the President's Message relative to the defence .of Nort6riilakes and rivers consists . of Messrs. Arnold, (Ill.,) Ashley, (Ohio,) Noole, (M 0.,) Aldrich, (Minn.,) Babbit, (Pa.,) Spaulding, (N. Y.,) aranges, (Mich.,) Wheeler, (N. Y.,) and Potter, (Wis.) Letters from Europe say that Dr. Russell, of the London Times writes that the administration is becoming disposed to accept foreign mediation with a view to a compromise with the south on the basis of a separation. It is difficult to conceive how Mr. Russell should have been deceived into the adoption of such an idea. Niether the Administration nor any one connected with it would ever accept such mediation from any quarter or a peace on any basis but the complete submission of the States in revolt to the authority of the United States. FROM FORT PICKENS. FURTHER NEWS OF THE LATE FIGHT. The Steamer Richmond Disabled. FORT PICKENS I:MIMI:MED The Rebel Fort Mcßae Badly Damaged. VV.InetiDf:1110,0)41111:134M:404.)welOolk , NEw YORK, Dec. 11 A private letter has been received from a party on board the steamer Richmond which took part in the late fight at Fort Pickens, dated Nov. 23d. He states that the Richmond commenced bombarding Fort litlcßea at ten o'clock on the morning of the 23d. The writer had been complimenting the Cap tain of one of the guns on the accuracy of his aim when he says a shell bounded through our bulwarks, took the Captain's head off, and wounded six men. The shell on exploding raised the ship out of the water and made her stagger like a drunken man. Another shell burst six feet below the water line, causing a bad leak, but the steam pumps kept the vessel free. The firing continued all day, and was re sumed by the enemy on the next morning, when we moved out of his range. The frigate Niagara still kept at them, but being outside of the enemy's guns she cannot e much injured. Fort Pickens had up to date lost but one man killed and seven wounded. Fort Mcßee is much damaged but we cannot destroy it with our smooth bore gugs as they are no match for the enemys rifled cannon. The bombardment was to be renewed the next day the 23d, with a determination to whip or be whipped. From Gen. Banks' Column. No Further Hostilities at Dam No. 5. Statement of a Deserter from the Rebel Ranks, FREDERICK, Dec. 11 There are no wivices of any further hostilities at dam No. 6. After recovering their guns un der cover' of the night the enemy withdrew to a safe distance and sent a few harmless compli ments to our troops, after which they disappear ed. The Union soldier who was shot twice has since died. The rebel-battery was commanded by Capt Pendleton. A Quartermaster's office is to be opened at Hagerstown to-morrow under the superintend ence of Capt. G. A. Flagg. The object of this is understood to be to supply the troops at and around Williamsport, its well as to prevent the operations of speculation in forage in that vi cinity. Capt. Flagg is from Connecticut. Yesterday a man named J. F. Monroe, arriv ed frbm Winchester. He was a private in the rebel army but having come under'the ban of their arbitrary military code, he fled and found refuge within the Union lines. The. informa tion he brings is not of much - importance. Gen. Johnston's force consisted of one brigade of four regiments of about 700 men each and was loca ted five miles east of Winchester. his men were principally residents of the country, were plen tifutly supplied and clothed, and were generally contented. Ashley's company of Black Horse Cavalry were in the neighborhood of Martins burg and Pendleton's battery was understood to be on its way from Bath to Winchester. There were many Union men in and around Winches ter, but they wine afraid to openly avow their sentiments. GOOD NEWS FROM KENTUCKY. LouavILLE, Dec. 10 The report that Capt. Nevitt, with 40 men from Col. Burbridge's regiment, burned a bridge at Whipporwill, five Miles from Russellville on the Memphis branch railroad, is confirmed.— They attacked the rebels guarding the bridge, numbering 13, killed two and took the remaia der prisoners. Russellville is southwest of the rebel forces at Bowling Green, and the destruction of this bridge cuts off their direct communication with Diemphis. THE PURSUIT OF THE SUMTER. NEW YORK,. Dec. 11. A letter from Martinique, dated November 28, states that the United States steamer Iro quois was off that point waiting for the pirate Sumter. Another dated the.2sth says the Iro quois arrived at that point the previous night, but the Sumter had escaped. XXXVIIth Congress—First Session. [CONCLUSION OP YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.] WASHINGTON, Dec.ll IN SENATE. Mr. Cower, (Pa.,) claimed for Pennsylvania the Foster Mother of the dead, the right to weep and pay her tribute to his worth, at the side of Oregon his adopted home. He was naturally noble and brave and had he lived in the olden time would have been a Viking, and his name would have come down with Hengist and Horsa. He paid a beautiful tribute to the elo quence, worth and true greatness of Gen. Baker. Mr. Dixox, (Conn.,)• spoke of the true devo tion of the late Senator to the cause of his country of his brilliant life and glorious death. Mr. SMOTE; (Mass.,) said that General Baker united both the character of orator and soldier, and in both was he worthy of admiration. He referred to various instances of his almost un exampled eloquence. After achieving a brilliant success in the Senate he, vaulted from the Sen ate to the saddle on a glorious battle field with his face to the foe. He passed from the service of his country to the service of tds God. He said that the true cause of Geii. Baker's death was slavery; and the only way to avenge his death is to say to this violator of the Constitu tion, this murderer of our dead Senator, be thou overturned. Mr. LATH" (Cal.,) closed ,with a beautiful and eloquent eulogy on the deceased and the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. LOVE JOY expressed his honest conviction that such orders were issued by the Command ing Generals without any authority from the President.,He was satisfied of this fact. While the President does not remove and cashier them as he, (Mr. Lovejoy,) would advise, did he not believe they had the power for any such inhu man and shameful measures. As far as can be ascertained the testimony of every General in the field is that the slaves are true, loyal and faithful. Wihle with Gen. McDowell, previotis to the battle of Bull Run, that General carefully enquired of every black fugitive with regard to the movements and positions of the enemy and the topography of the country. They are the most reliable scouts we have, and he thought it frost shameful, mean and contemptible for the Major Generals of the army to slander a race already sufficiently disgraced. Mr. BLAIR, (51o.) said .that Mr. Stevens had evidently misunderstood General Halleck 9 s or der. The latter had lnformed him that he had an idea of doing anything contrary to the law fttam tinting fifirs.

Mr. BLAIR said for the benefit of the House and the country he positively knew that Gene ral Halleck gave an order to diccharge fugitives from the prison in St. Louis on his (Mr. Blair's) application. Mr. LOVEJOY repeated that slaves had actual ly been delivered up under General Halleck's order. Mr. BLAIR stated that he called on General Halleck the day after the order was issued, and informed him that it was liable to be misunder stood. Gen. Halleck said he had no idea of contra vening the law of Congress and the policy of the administration. His simple object was to exclude from his camp such persons as could Convey information to the enemy. The General added that at Cairo slaves came into the camp to sell fruit, but returning to Kentucky and the southern part of Missouri they fell into the band of the enemy who obtained information from them. Mr. FOOKE, said that the officers regarded Gen. Halleck's orders as most wise and saluta y. The allusion by his colleague, Mr. Love joy, to the fidelity of these slaves was untrue. the army was misled on the 7th of November by slaves. His own regiment was thus led into an ambuscade. Let the resolution pass and re cruiting in Illinois will cease. The army will stand by the order of Gen. Halleck. If his col league would pay less attention to the negro and more to the interests of the country, we would get along much better. [This last remark was received with applause which the Speaker promptly checked.] Mr. Bums, returning, said that Gen. Halleck informed him that he intended to use the Slaves if he could to the advantage of the Gov ernment and if it would injure the enemy he would take their slaves from them, but he did not intend such persons should come into the lines of his camp. Mr. VALLANDIGHAIf (Ohio) moved to lay the pending resolutions on the table. Agreed— yeas 78, nays 640. The resolution heretofore introduced looking to a recognition of the independence of Hayti and Liberia coming up Mr. Cox (Ohio) offered as an amendment, "that the Committee on Foreign Affairs inquire into the expediency of doing so instead of direct instructions to report a bill for that purpose." He said instead of bringing up so frequently the pestiferous negro, the country expects Con greF6 to give a little time to more important Subjects. The amendment was agreed to and the reso lution was adopted. Mr. PALL/WI/WHAM called attention to the fact that select committee was appointed at the former Congress to consider the subject of the abolition of the franking privilege. The bill reported by that Committee was first on the calandar, and it was his desire that members should examine it before it regularly comes up for consideration. Mr. COLFAX, (Ind.) remarked that the com mittee on post offices and post roads had framed a bill to abolish the franking privilege, with other provisions swelling the revenue and satis fying the public desire. They propose to re port the bill next week. A message was read from the Senate announ cing the death of Senator Baker. Messrs. Sum (Oregon,) Pnurs and SARGENT .(Cal.,) Donau , (Ky.,) COLFAX (Ind.,) RICHARD koze (Pa.,) and RIDDLE (Ohio,) severally delivered eulogies abounding with elo quent and interesting allusions to the public and private character of the deceased. The usual resolutions of respect was passed, and the House adjourned. TAKE NOTICE! rlillitAN we have recently added to our al ready full stock LA NORMATLS,. EL MONO, LA BANANA.
