be due inpart to local and temporary causes;,
but the nae of more than ten par "cent
within a few weeks, and the general condi
tion of the market in whichrit is found so
easy to put the price up and so hard to put it
down, are facts which have a wider mean;
This meaning ia simply that the public are
beginning to understand the financial situa
tion better than heretofore. The currency'
of the country is paper, which, by its exces
sive amount' is greatly depreciated in itsao-
tual purchasing power. The general cost of
living is about twice what it was when wo
last had a curredc^of Teal money. That is-
to say, greenbacks, measured in commodi
ties, are worth bat little if any more tfroi*
fifty per cent. If the prioe of gold were con
trolled like tho average price of other art**
cles, chiefly by the inflation of the currency,
it would be nearly or quite twO hundred per
cent. ' *■*' * '

Th* West Flomda Annixateq« Schkmji—
We are able to announce the gratifying fact
to the readers df the State Journal this even
ing, that tho Commissioners appointed by
the Legislature of the State of Florida and
Alabama to treat concerning annexation of
West Florida to our domain, have agreed upon
terras, and settled the matter, so far as it lies
within their pewer. - .
By tho agreement the whole of the coun
ties of Escambia, Santa liosa. Walton,
Holmes, Washington, Jackson and Calhoun,
in tho State of Florida, being the entire por
tion west of the Apalachicola rivfer, is ceded
and sold to the State of Alabama for and in
consideration of the sum of one million of dol
lars of Alabama State bonds, to be delivered
when the cession and sale is completed and
ratified according to law.
The portion of Florida ceded to ns com
prises the cities of Pensacola and Apalachi
cola, and the thriving towns of Marianna,
St. Joseph and Milton. It also embraces
about one million and forty-nine thousand
acres of public lands, all of which are des
tined to be valuable. The State of Florida,
however, reserves enough out o( the proceeds
of these public lands to build a court houpe
and jail where needed in each of the remain
ing counties of that StAte. There are also
other minor details, that owing to the late
ness of the hour at which the agreement was
consummated, we ere nimble to give. In
deed, we may bare erred in some of the
above facts, bnt they arc, us stated, believed
to l>e correct
Before the cessation or trade can bo com
pleted according to law, it is necessary that
the Legislature of each .Shite should ratify
ihe contract, after which it “is referred to the

jection or approval. If Congress approves
of the contract, then without ceremony West

An Exrthquaxs in Burke County. —A gen
tleman who resides in tho lower portion of
the neighboring count j' of Burke was in tli«
city yesterday, aud gave an interesting ac
count of an earthquake, which was felt iu his
neighborhood a few days ago. He lives some
distance from the city, near Do mo rest's Fer
ry, on the Savannah river. He states that on
last Thursday, at 10 o’clock in the morning,
the shock ot an earthquake was fell very dwr
tinctly in that locality. The shock, while it
was not severe enough to do any great dam
age, waft sufficiently severe to very seriously
alarm the people, who, unaccustomed to such
visitation*, aft Boon 1 as it was felt, began to
dread the rate ofOarrscaf and the other cities
of South America, which have so fearfully
suffered from the effects of these convulsions
of Nature. The shock moved from a wester
ly direction toward the oast, thus furnishing
another {sot in support of th* thoory recent
ly adwonsed by many distinguished saoans of
the Old World and the Nsw, that the earth-
unakeB were*dvanning toward the rising ron,
and wers dsserting the Pacific for the Atlan
tic. The bouses near Demorest’s Ferry wsre
rocked to and fro by the force of the convul
sion, thfi'window sashes rattled as in a gale
of wind, and many pones of gloss -were shat
tered. Fortunately, though so violent, it only
lasted for a very short time. The total du
ration of the shock h estimated to have been
about ten aecouds.—:-Augusta Chronicle.
foreign countries, which has led to tbs:
snipment of bonds instead of money in paj-
ment for import*, and so kept a considerable
sunt of idle gold in thisbouutxy.
Had any one of .these depressing influences
been wuuting, the premium ou gold must
have been very much higher for the last
three yearn. Had all exceptional and dis-
i turbing influences been absent, and had the
j price of the currency in gold coin been fcov-
• erned simply by the amount of paper cur
rency iu use. that premium could never have
fallen much below one hundred per rent
The question arises, how long will these
influences continue to act ? The recent deci
sion of th© Snpremo Court, tbat contracts for
coin are valid in law, opens the .way for the
use of corn‘os. money; and ills likely that
the demand for it, for this purpose, may iu-
creaso. The general expectation of a speedy
return to specie payments Las already been
seriously weakened by recent events, and
may soon pass away entirely. The large’sales
of gold are losing their effect. And finally,
the shipments of bonds to European markets
are now approaching a limit, in tho small
amount of the national debt which remains
in this country within tho reach of foreign
bankers. On the whole, therefore, the influ
ences which have so long a time unnaturally
depressed the price in gold are rapidly grow
ing weaker; and unless some new element,
appears in the situation to counterbalance
thin change, the low quotations of last March
do not promise soon to return. ' ~ 1
It is a matter of deep regret that careful
and intelligent newspapers, such oa the
Times, should regard this rise in the price of
gold as in itself a reptoach to the administra
tion of the Treasury. The power ^of the
Government has been used (o depress the
price; a wise administration would abstain
from all interferences, and let the market
regulate itself. It is true that the price of
gold would then advonco still further; but
this is precisely what the country needs.
Whatever may be said in general terms about
the National credit and the honor of the
Treasury paper, the feet remains that neither

A Horrible Death.—The Cairo Evening

While the stern-wheel towboat Stella was

of Lonisvillo, Ky., and another man, ap
proached her stern in a skiff, stoppiug at the

'The cost to the government of its struggle
against the gold premium is already enor
mous. But the worst part of the bill is yet
to come in. By keeping gold cheapor than
other commodities, this has been made for a
long time the best market for goods in the
world. Imports have been unnaturally stim
ulated, exports discouraged, and enormous
balances created which have been met by
bonds payable in gold. These l*onds have
yet to be paid, and whether only the interest
on them be demanded for many rears, or
whether the principal be Lurried home for
sale one day on a sudden disturbance iu Ko
rop©, in either case the burden on our people
will be heavy. As ths case now stands, all
our market* ore at the mercy of foreign ru
lers, diplomatists and financiers.
Were the price of gold, roiaW to the
generui . level of price, without shrious dis
turbance to. trade in general, the export of
bonds and’ tbs iucrease of our debt abroad
would bo~ checked, foreign markets for our
surplus crops and manufactures would be
opened, and greater stability would soon bo
given to the financial condition of the coun-
Iry. ' We would then measure our means an

guise which now blinds so many to theqi.
both; and the country would see .the es
sential truth, that the raaUy weak point in
