"One of tbe highest exhibitions of the 'general subject the world ever witnessed Was that of Daniel Webste^ when in an toj>en barouche in the streets of Boston ho proclaimed to a vast assemblage of his iconstituentc?unwilling hearers?that they had conquered an uncongenial clime, they had conquered iho winds and elements of the ocean, thoy had conquered most of the -elements of nature, but they must yet Irarn to conquer their prejudices."?Alexander if. Stephen*. mere is a glowing strain. But what V7M tho occasion of Daniel Webster's remark! a temark (by tho way) not made from 'open barouc.be/ but from a table in front of the Ilevero Ilouse."?J\rcio YorkIndependent. Stephens is right and the Independent wrong. Having been present on the occasion, we distinctly recollect ell the circumstances, and particularly that Mr. Web ster stood in the carriage Mr. Benjamin R. Curtis, afterward Justice of the United States Supreme Court, made the welcoming address, standing on a table in front of the Revere. The windows of tho building were crowded with ladiqs, among them Mrs. Ilarrison Gray Otis, who threw bouquets into the carriiige. It wa9on the 25tb of ApriL Tho feeling of disappointment, indignation and regret, excited by Mr. Webster's 7th of March On#1 klo ? * At-- * P""") ou|hju?i, ui me compromise measures, was at its heiglif. Three fourths of his political friends refused to indor.se his course, and the masses received him in sullen silence. Fanuel Hull closed to Iiim, and he was escorted frem the depot to the Revere House by a few personal friends in carriages. But tho square around (ha hotel was densely packed with people, , anxiously awaiting the explanation which Mr. Webster was expected to give of his J .seeming betrayal of his constituents ftttd misrepresentation of the sentiment of the State. During Mr. 'Curtis' speech Mr. Webster stood in the carriage, shading his face from the burning sun by bis hands, and looking ! toward the house. At its conclusion lie turned to the vast crowd around ^is carriage and commenced ' h'u memorable reply.

The people maintained a perfectly respectful, nnd eveii reverential demeanor duiiog the wholo speech, and it was not until ike ?loso or the magnificent 1 peroration, spoken as no other man could peak, was their iceness thawed so us to greet bim with a round of cheers. This peroration, that so well accords at the present time with the ardent desire of every trne patriot, is as follows : "The Union for the preservation of which I strove; the union of States for which 1 triva, is not merely a union of law, of: Constitution, of compact, bat while it is < that, it ia a union of brotherly regard, of i fraternal feeling throughout the whole coun- ! try. I do not wish that any portion of the people of thU country shall feel held to M geiherouly by tbe bonds of ft legal corporation; bonda which Borne of them may , - think restrain their limbs, cramp their affec tions, gall and wound thorn. I wuh on tbe contrary, that they shall be boflng together by those unseen, soft, easy setting chains that result from generous affections, and ffoxi a sense of common interest'and common piide. 'In short, fellow-citizens, my desire is, .and my labor is, to see that > stateof things produced, in which, , filling all bbftoms with gratitude, and hearts with " joftlHiiaunatingull faces, spreading through all ranks of people, whether rich or poor, whether North, South, Eas.or West, there shall.extrt the balm of all our suffering?. thtf great solace oT all our political calamities?the great society of everything pros* jraiuuv, ouu gloat, HfU glOriOUS, ,|Q tUO tjjiture; and that is the united love of tf' united Government"?St. Paul Preu.

Since the termiuntiou of hostilities, Florida has hud a large accession to her population. The current of emigration still moves ou. Her fertile 8oil and gonial climate?her forests of valuable timbers and boundless pastures?her orange groves? her innumerable lakes, swarming with a thousand species of fish?are inducements lo thoso who desire to exchange worn-out plantations for a fte.sh, alluvial soil. The Confederate soldier has returned to his wopted avocation with alacrity, iler citizens generally sdem to bo actuated with that dogreo.of enterprise which denotes a return of prosperity at nn early day in the future. The small farms that dot her forests are being renovated aud newly improved. Trie long cotton, to which her soil is peculiarly adapted, will constitute the bulk of her crop the present year, ui fineucss of staple, closi-ly approximates that which is produced on our sea island plantations. One hand will cultivate on her Innds, with ease, ten acres in cotton aud five in corn. An average^rop on the pipe lands is n bale of long cotton, weighing 350 pounds, to three acre3, and twelvo bushels of corn per vacre of land. The hammock lands yield more. The excellent timbers of I(1lor-? ida are beginning to attract tb.e eyo of the capitalist.

Laborers seem to be scarce and. the demand increasing daily. Timber cutters pay tweuLy?five dollars and rations, whilo farmers are paying from ten to fifteen dollars and rations per month for ab!e-bodied hands. The railroads of the Slate are being rapidly repaired and supplied with rolling stock. We learn that five new And splendid engines have been recently put on the road from Lake City to Tallahassee.

E.- C.," which nil will at once recognize as tho initials of that vigorous and charming writer, John Eaten Cooko, E<q., of Virginia. His description of General Ashby'a appoarance is as#follows: "Wljat tho men of Jackson saw* at tho head of tho cavalry from March to Juno 1802, wa3 a man rather below tho middla height, with an activo and vigorous frame, cla 1 in plain Confederate grey. Ilia brown felt hat was decorated with a black feather; his uniform was almost without decorations; his cavalry boots, dusty or eplns'icd with mud,*camo to the knee, and around his WAist. ho wnrn n r>i?Ii nn<1 o nluin er belt, hoidir.g pistol and sabre. The facc of this man of thirty or a little more was noticeable. Ilia complexion was as lark arlhat ot an Arab; his eyes of a deep rich brown, sparkled* under well formod brows ; and two thirds of his faoo was covored by a huge black board and mustache, tbo latter curling at the end?, the former reaching to hie breast. There was thus in tho face of the cavalier some? i thing Moorish and brigandish; but all idea of a melo dramatic personage disappeared as you pressed his hand, looked into his eyes, and spoke .to him. Tho- br6Wn eyes, which would dash terribly in*battTo, were the softest and nlost friendly* inagtnable; the voice, which would thrill his men as it rang like a clarion in the charcro. was the perfection of mild courtesy. Ife was a? simple and friendly as a child, in nil his words, movements and tho carriage of his person. You could eee from hia dresb, his firm dread, his open and frank glance, that he was a thorongff soldier? indeed bo always "looked like work"?but under the soldier,-was as plainly the gentlemnn.

Imported good a, of dered long ago in anticipatioa of a? immepse spring trade, are pouring in upon our merchants; but. no goods are sold.? What is the roason of this stoppage in business! Jt is the rntficalism of Congress. Our merchants counted upon" a large influx of buyers from the South as soon as the war was 6ver ami the Union restored.? The war is over ; but Congress persists in keeping the South out of the Union. Con-^ sequent!/there is no'Southern trade. The Western merchanta'arriyfi here, look about, see bo business doing, no rivalry, no competition, and concede that they will wait awhile before purchasing "uatil things get settled." Tbefe is now no sale for 4tke goods produced by eur manufactories.? presently the tnamj(acioria<i will have to stop work. Tken wo shall sea tibusands of peoplo thrown Ot\b of wnployinont, starvation staring them 111 the face, their children vyingTor f?od. Riot% will' follow, and- perhaps a revolution. Why U all thisl Not because of the high price of gold,' for gold is lower than at an/ Uraa- during the wan Not because ?f the ^arlfiV for that baa aot been changed aince the war.

Editors: If n common placo man (your humble servant for example) should meet in tho street of Rome, Ga., the well knowo writer named nbovo, and should begin gravely to lecture him about his peculiar style, a rich aceno would probn bly oiiHue. Imagine even a "eoreno" Quaker reproving him?"Friend William Harp 1 tlioo must he dignified in thy compositions, or wo will summon thee baforo the meeting's?even his gravity would scarcely bo proof against tlie answer ho would receiveNpvv, Mr. E<4itor, 1 liavo no ambition to figure hi any such comedy. I havo not tho slightest wish or purpose to "draw fno" of this guerilla writer. Far from it. If the "Roman Senator" over approaches mo armed with his pen, I will-instantly "harmonize," at any price, on any tenns, or even without term?. And yet I wish, can-* daily, without any prudery or affectation, to express a fear, that his example and.writings tnny injure, aro injuring now^our language and literature. Ilis first lotters woro 'good, almost faultless In tiicir kind. The humor was in tho idea i, in the very thoughts themselves, and therefore it was veal. Tho letters shewed utiuvtal command of language, and uncommon ?prighUiuos3 of conception. If they did uot rise to a high stylo of writing, limy woro at least snoh as r 1 t t ? n:w men couiu iiavu wrmen. luoir innilence wns to a certain extent, good. But their success has callo'l out scores of iinita-* tors (!) who tn^st exactly copy all their blots and weaknesses and-^-nothing else.And tho writer of tlieso letters himself (il some recent specimens are not forgeries) hws como down to tlieir level, nnd is "aiding r?nd abetting" thfcin^n their efforts to "reconstruct" the English language. They seem to think, that ?f tliey can write something wliich i? not good tvnsi it mu3t necessarily be^ooc? JiO/iscMSc-^-that to outrage gramme is U> display wit?that to spell barbarously is to write funnily. Now the jaws wbicb "restrain us in writing are a3 neooasary a*? wise, and a-? conservative aa those which restrain our tongues, or direct our personal bqaring in refined or good sooioty. No do of them can bo violated habitually or even frequently, with innocence or safety. The demoralization of a peO* pie's tastes and feelings fvilf keep pace with thai of their daily latynage. Somo of your readeis can remember a page of history illustrating this. Thirty years ago Jack Downing began to yiitc good plain strong English, for tho mo-it part. Bat bei | and a host oF admirers and imitators, gravitated downward. They flooded the coun j try with volum# (appropriately illustrated | will* hideous distortions and caricatures !ot pictures,) in which coarseness, ntmineda>o^-? pressions, flippancy ami irrcveTbuce took the place of humor nnd wif, "And the land stank, so numerous too* the fry.'' 6idney Smith, Washington Irving and 'others have found our mother tongue in ilB simplicity and purity, sufficient for ntl their needs?able to express thoir purest thoughts, their dearest.and most humorous' conceptions. If nny one ha? a message for oar' people, whiofr cannot be delivered without maugling and abusing our noble language, perhaps ' it would be better for him not to utter it at all. Ju&t now when all ii _ 4 ? _ i _ _ r - mi tigs seem- iu urge us 10 oegni as iroiu a new point of drptrlure, in literature as in other fields' of effort, therein ncfthing to be gained, and much everyday to be lost, by yielding to this style of wfiiing whicf?"has increased, is incregtingj and ought to bfc diminished." Wo would -not deprive our exhausted country of a sfnglo respurce or gift, whicb any of her cbild^n.ca#frung to strengthen or nifarn h?0 jn" Hoy respect. Tbe statesman, tlie moralist, the ready writer, the private citijsen, may oacb flod his work and reward.
