Gleason issued to-day a dated yesterday. He states le late special session of. the Legis lature a quorum of both Houses were pres et; that Gov. Heed recognized them by Sending messages and transacting business with them; that twelve members of the Sen ate were present; that the impeachment of an officer is in no sense a legislative busi ness but is exclusively judicial in its character, and such as may be as well trans acted at a special as well as at a regular term; that the Constitution declares that any officer impeached shall be placed under arrest and disqualified from performing i of the duties of his office until acquitted the Senate; that HamsonReed in gross tempt of all the people of the “State, and of their Assembly which impeached, and their Senate the only tribunal under the Constitu tion which has jurisdiction in cases of im peachment, and in violation of tine Qonstitu- tion of the State, refuses to deem himself under arrest, and disqualified from perform ing any duties of his office until acquitted by tie Senate, or submit himself to the judg ment of the Senate, but arrogates to himself the tight to pronounce impeachment void, and proceeds in hia office as if no impeach ment he preferred; that no citizen charged with crime can set up his private judgment so aa toregulate his impeachment Or warrant of arrest, and the law makes no differ ence between one who is Governor and one who is not, but requires all to submit to ; ar rest and go before the tribunal appointed by the Constitution to make their defence. Therefore he proclaims that the said Har rison Heed, Governor of Florida, is deemed by the Constitution, under arrest, and dis qualified from performing any of the duties of his office until acquitted by the Senate; and that his powers have devolved upon him, and he calls upon all citizens to aid him in exercising said powers and discharging the duties devolved upon him by the Constitu tion, and to put down tha lawlessness and anarchy which will inevitably ensue ii any man impeached or indicted, however exalted his station, refuse submission to arrest im posed by the Constitution of Florida. The document is signed by W. H. Gleason, Lieutenant and noting Governor, counter signed by Geo. J. Alden, Secretary of State, end bears the impression of the Seal of the State. Gov.

It i3 important to attract atten tion and create interest by freshness of anec dote, by vivid illustration, by, the romance, the pathos, and tragedy of negro life ; but all this is to broad views and just -analysis what; the skirmish liners to the main body. Now, is not the pathos getting "‘played out” ? Are not the public and .the churches inclined to think that they have heard enough of the old, old story of the suffering, down-trodden freedmen, and that Sam and Sally had better take care of themselves? Is not the black man about to follow the red man to the limbo of forgetfulness and neglect? If so, it will be because special pleading has explained itself, and the healthier, enduring energy of well-arranged and well-urged facts has not been properly applied. Slavery and Southern swamps and bravery in fight haTe given the blacks sympathy and prestige, but suffrage will, perhaps, prove a terrible disfranchise ment.

George Wilkes conducts a half sportii half political sheet in New York,.which frequently used by the leaders “of the Radi cal party as a kind of pilot baloon to test the current of public opinion.

Even efforts at creating xsolored, munici- s I palties, or small, independent communities, ' I would seem unwise; the bond of umon, the | basis of a true Democratic gov^rnipent is wanting. There can be. enthusiasm of race and couhtry where there are not the charac teristics upon which a broad sentiment of unity and patriotism is founded. The ne groes fear each other, there is no mntual con fidence. It is common. for them to endure great injury arid injustice from' each other rather than complain.

It is their inyqriabje testimony, in-. deed, that the colored people are doing; for better than they had reason to expect.

He was, however, supposed to be a man of too cowardice to have ever concocted any- of so bold and villianoUS a nature as the'wholesale murder of -his neighbors. For some time past people in toe vicinity, had noted a gathering of desperate negro characters at the born of this man. Byers, but, as it was supposed they went there fox the'purpose of shucking com, it was not un til a vigilant watch.had been kept that any. thing as .to their real business was ascertain ed! Fearing that they might be discovered, on Monday night they changed their place of meeting to toe levee on Meridian, Creek, one and a half miles, from Byers’ bam and near Johnson’s mill They numbered about thirty- strong and were commanded by. named John Murdock, who came into country but recently from Mississippi, At this meeting a programme was laid out for execution on the Thursday night following. They were to assemble at the same place and in the dead hour of night, march on the resi dence of-Mr. Johnson, assassinate him-and plunder his dwelling, and to conceal the deed leave toe house in flames. Next the hveS and residences of Captain-William Shaw and Cap tain John Davis were,to share a similar fete, and so on until every monied man in toe neighborhood had been visited. Fortunate ly, and we might say providentially, a employed on toe form.of Mr. John Cole came alarmed and divulged toe entire plot to his master. His statement was corroborated by another negro who had not cbm- muuicated with Cole’s’negro. The citi- ens carried toe informer before a. trate where he made affidavit m substance as above. Immediately ■ thereupon toe Magistrate issued writs' for toe arrSfet of the ring leaders both white and black. Gathering a posse of-citizens the Sheriff at once en tered upon his duties, and up to -Thursday afternoon, had succaedeflin arresting about fifteen of toe most prominent conspirators and lodged Grain safely inprison. While en gaged in-the arrests, he came uponthe negro Murdock, who had fled armed to thu. woods, vrito, some pflnaj companions. , When ade- 1 was made for his surrender, which theUfShme seeks tq establish, is well illustrated,- on a small scale, in this State.

Two or three ; times he rallied so much that hopes were entertained that his robust constitution . would enable him to shake off toe disease. On the evening of Thursday week toe unfa vorable symptoms increased, and from that time he was confined to his bed. His mental powers, remained uninjured, and he waa occupied unceasingly in reading de-" votioital "books,' or "in writing or givmg“ instructions concerning his charge, which he .had .almost completed, though he had quite given up toe i< lea of delivering at" orally. He anticipated toe end almost from the'first; and in a -paper written three or four days ago, when speaking had. become difficult ;to,him, he. said: “I. commit my soul into too hn’nda of .my God and dear Saviour. I havo had proofs enough of his love in toe past, and I am weU assured that whatever sufferings or > trials are permitted to be&llme are visitations :of love. ‘Though He slay me, yet willl trust in Him ’ As to the faith in which I wish "to die, I cannot better express it than in Richard Hooker’s dying words, as indicated in toe un derlined passage I have written out. , A poor and guilty sinner I know myself to he;" biit I believe that those who kneel at the foot of toe cross with this sincere confession will J never be cast out if they look to the cleansing blood of Christ for then sole ground of par don and acceptance.” The following is toe extract from Hooker: “Though I have by His grace loved Him in my youth, and feared Him in. mine age, and labored to have a con science void of offence to Him and to all men; yet, if Thou, O Lord, be extreme to mark what I have done amiss, who can abide it ? And, therefore, where I have foiled, Lord,' show mercy to me; for I plead, not ray right eousness, but for toe forgiveness of ray own unrighteousness, for His merits who died to purchase pardon for penitent sinners.' And j since I owe Thee a death, O Lord, 1st it not be terrible, and then take .Thine;09m time. Let notmine, O Lord, but Thy wifthwdoue.” On Sunday "his grace appeared decidedly bet ter,‘but on Monday changed for toe worse, and from that 1 sank rapidly.
