Th* Steamship Florida Sailed.—A dispatch
received at this office yesterday, statea that the new
steamship Florida, Captain Lyon. Bailed from New-
York on Saturday afternoon, at 4 o’clock. She has a
very large number of passengers on board, tor this
city. Her trial trip was completely succeaslul. On
her return, when she passed the Hook, she was mak
ing 14 milui per hour, against a very strong bead
wind.
BT We were gratified on Suturday last, to notice
the return of our fellow-citizen, Hon. Joseph W.
Jackson, in good health.
U9“ Sir E. Belches, of the British Navy, and tho
Hou. J. Babton, Minister to Chili, and lady, arrived
in our city on Saturday night, in the steamer Nina,
from Charleston.
Dseadful Disastee. Our city was thrown into
■ state of interne excitement on (Saturday afternoon,
by tho telegraphic despatch, which wilt b 1 found
in another column, bringing tho melancholy tidings
Of the loaa of the bark ltaac Mead of this port, with
some twenty eight passengers on board. Capt.
BnoWN of tho ltaac Mead, being & favorite with our
people, muny of whom are absent at tho North, it
was naturally expected that a large portion of the
passengers were from this city, and in the uncertain
ty which prevailed the most painful anxiety was man
Rested by ull who had reason to Ijjar tnat their rein
tivea and friends might be on board the ill-futcd bark
During the day other despatches were received by
which we learn the names of sumo of the passen
gers, and dispatches were sent from till- city request
ing a complete list of the passengers, which was how
ever not received at a late hour last night It is prob
able that it will be difficult for the agents in New-
York or any one else t > furnish such a list, as the-
captain's papers must have all boon lost, and prob
ably lie possessed the only record of all tiicir naim-s.
In the meantime we have to liopo that the worst tears
of our citizousfor the safety of their iiiouds may not
be realized.
Since the loss of tho ill-fated Pulaski, by which our
city and State suffered so severely, no calumity has
occurred which bus cast such a gloom over our city.
We understand that the cargo of the ltaac Mead
was very valuable, and that it was chiefly consigned
to our merchants.
The tfuftti+e Slave mil—Its Authority
t Openly Defied.
The excitement among the Abolitionists and free
blacks is becoming unbounded. Maas meetings and
conventions are being held in every direction, at
which resolutions arc boldly adopted, declaring their
determination to resist, with arms, any tnture at
tempts to recover fugitive slaves. At Worcester
and Springfield. In Massachusetts, and at Oswego
and Utica, New-York, the greatest excitement pre
vails. In New-York city n great negro indignation
meeting was held on Tuesday evening, the proceed
ings of which were of the most outrageous and
revolutionary character. After aoveral inflammatory
speeches, the Fugitive Slave Bill was read, and a
series of resolutions, denouncing tho law and the
framers uf it, and calling upon the colored people
to rise up and arm themselves, were unanimously
passed, amid the shouts and cheers of the half fran
tic multitude. At the conclusion of the proceedings
song was sung, and a collection taken up to delray
the expenses of eertuin fugitive slaves, who were
now on their wiiy to Canada.
These proceedings, to openly subversive of order
and utterly iu defiance of law. took place in one of
the churches ol New York city, and were counte
nanced by the city authorities, and are either approv.
cd or allowed to pass unrebuked by tho N w fork
press, is this the good faith upou which the South
ern people are to place their reliance 1 is this the
conterralitm which is to secure us in our rights 1 We
„ mend that it is the duty of the Northern authori
ties to put a stop to these revolutionary proceedings
of tho blocks and abolitionists. Such meeting,, at
which resolutions are adopted openly declaring hoe
tility to tho law of the luud, and a determination to
r esist its execution with arms, are subversive ol every
principle of Government, and their toleration by tho
legrfl authorities is iu itself just cause of complaint
on tlie part of the South.
Our Northern brethren, who arc so prornm to do
nounce, as revolutionary and treasonable, alienee
able and leagal movements of our people, in vindica
tion of their rights, should be equally prompt to
suppress open and avowed rebellion in their midst.
They should notallow tho negro, mob within their
own jurisdiction, to set tbo laws of the country at
defiance.

Our dispatch just received, states that the number
of passengers lost are 28; among them are.Harriet
Ghannes and Mis. A. Barnes, of Macon : Mrs. C.
B rnard, Miss C. L. Barnard, and Master John

Sunday Morning.
A letter received from Mr. John Adams, dated at
New-York on Monday last, states that he and his
brother Andrew Adams, both from England, and
who had only arrived at New-York a day or two be
fore. intruded to take passage on buurd the Isaac
Mead, for Savannah. They have a brother residing
in thin city.
Wc kept our paper open to a lato hour last night,
hoping our telegraphic agent would transmit to us a
full account of the disaster, which haa caused such
painful anxiety to the miuda of muny of our citizens.
But for some unnccountuble cause, no dispatch was
received at this office.
THE Bounty Land Bill Swindles. It will bo
remembered that our telegraphic despatch on Thurs
day stated that the President has suspended the
Bounty Land Bill, in consequence or errors made by
the engrossing clerk. The N. Y. Exprett contains
the foliowing explanation oi theail'airi
An enormous swindle and outrage was perpetrat
edupon Congress.on Monday morning,it seems now,
by «n rARfuiiitif clerk, who, undoubtedly. It lit? is
the guilty party, has been bribed to do Jthe work tor
jobbers in land patents. Tlie Bounty Land Bill, just
passed, provides, in substanco. against the issuing ot
any land warrant* or land scrip until the soldiers en
titled to bounty lands made their locations. I be
object was to prevent tlie sale of them new land
warrants in Wall street and other tiWney innrkets.
The engrossing clerk, it seems, by leaving out a
word or two or altering them, contrived to lot them
warrants gointo market immediately, just as other land
warrants do. The effect is to knock down the price
of- the Mexican bounty land warrants forty or fifty
per cent., we presume. The Senate on Monday
morning,as soon as this error of the > iigrossing clerk
was discovered, and when the bill had been signed
and become a law, passed a new bill, setting tlie old
one right, ami the House of Representatives was ta
king tlie ayes and noes on that bill when 12 oclock
arrived, and cut oft all furlher action. The Prcsi-
I dent has rigbltully suspended ull action upou this
j law till Congress re-asseinbles.
Our despatch published on Friday, states that the
Bill will go into operation,the President.having with
drawn his objections.

Special Notices.
tar Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed
on Saturday afternoon and yesterday, by some of our
citizens, who, in their anxiety to learn tho partieu
lars of the distressing disaster, the loss of the ltaac 1
Mead, called on Mr. Taylox, the Telegraphic opera
tor, fur information. It should be borne in mind
that Mr. T. is under the most solemn obligations to
observe strictly the rules of the Company, and that
however desirous be might have been to relieve tho
painful apprehensions of the public, lie could not,
without a betrayal of the trust reposed in him, 1m.
part the information in his possession Mr. Taylor.’*
uniform pdlteneis and courtesy towards those hav
ing business with the office, afford the best evidence
of his disposition to oblige, whenever it is consistent
with the obligations and duties of his station to do

The Charleston Sun learns from the Cheesboro’
N.C. Patriot, that two Wesleyan Preachers—Brooks I
and McBride—are npeuly fanning the fiume of ahnli.
tionism.by regularly preaching against our domestic
institutions and forming associations of nou-slavehol-
ders, in the neighborhood of Jamestown, N. C.,—n

marks tlie Sun audit be 'ooves all peaceable citizens
to be tm the lookout.
This is not tho first nor the only effort thst has hem
made to array foreigner* and non-slaveholders in the
Southern States against tho slaveholders. Certain
pretendtd eontcrcativct have iatteily betrayed a
squinting that way in Georgia It will he well
for them, we think to restrain their seal. The man
that would advocate such a doctrine is the worst en
emy alike of the slaveholder and the non-slavehold’
er. He would betray and rob the one and debase and
trample on the other. It becomes the true friends of
the South of all classes to wa tch this movement.
Misstssirri Moving.—We are unable to make
room for Governor Quitman's Proclamation. It is
hardly necessary to say that it is truly southern in its
tone and spirit. The Governor orders the legisla
ture to aserahle at Jackson, the capital of the State
on the 18th day of November.
Geoxoia Military School-We have learned,
with pleasure, says tho Marietta Advocate, that ibe
Trustees of the Military School have contracted for
the necessary buildings, at a cost of about seveu
thousand dollars. The Board have made r most ju
dicious selection and purchase of one hundred and
twenty acres, in the immediate vicinity of Marietta.
including a beautiful elevation for th* site of the pro.
posed buildings. Col. Brumby, who is to occupy lhe
position of Principal in the Institution, furnishes the
plan. Tho brick work is to be completed by the first
of Januury next, and the wholo to be in readiness by
the first of June.

Correspondence of the Daily Morning A etas.
New Yuhk. Oct. 1, 1850.
As the event of yesterdny was ono in which your
readers are somewhat interested—namely tho trial
trip of the steam hip Florida-intended for the Savan
nuh line, 1 hasten to inform you of tho particulars,
1 may promisethejaccount of the trip, however, with
some remarks about tlie vessel, nnd I assure you, that
sho is positively a splendid one, not alone in her fit
ting up nnd her appartuiente, but in all those qual
ities, which constitute a steam-ship, of the highest
class. Her model is cha-ste, and remarkably beauti
ful—slie floats on the boBom of old Neptune, as grace
fully as a swnn ; nnd sho moves through the water
with senrecly a jar to disturb your comfort. She is
214 feet long, 35 feet 3 mches broad, and the depth
22 foot 6 inches. Her engine is a masterpiece ot
workmanship, ss indeed are nil those made at the
Novelty Works, ft is of 500 horse power ; is a one-
side laver marine engine, with wrought iron frame.
The cylinder is 75 inches with 8 feet stroke—the
wheels 294 feet diameter ; 10 feet face; 32 paddles,
26 inches wide.
I B"sides a very neat saloon on deck, she lias two
caViins below; the tore cabin is 51 feet long, by 6
feet 10 inches in height; tlie after one is 40 lcet long;
and she can accommodate from 180 to 200 passengers
with births. The cabins are exceedingly neat and
beautiful—the panelling being of satin; with rose
wood borders. The Interstices are divided by pil
lars of white, surmounted with gilted capitals. The
very best taste lias been displayed in every thing
connected with these cabins.
Tlie vessel is ceiled inside, and plunked outside
with yellow Georgia pine. Her knees are all of hac-
matac, and bolted in the bcst£ nnd strong man
ner. The lower piinncl* are of white oak ; the up
per pnnncls of live onk and cedar -. tlie beams of yel
low Georgin pine. Pile is provided with four of
Francis' Metnlic Llle-Boato.
Bo much for the hont; now for her powers as a
sea vessel. She left her dock in the East river at a
few minutes past 10 o’clock, A. M„ and rounding tlie , R * n'ighVundVobbcd of about"$5,600—about $2,800
Battery, went a shor distance up the North river, w hicb was in specie, $2,000 ol it
and thf ti turning round, proceeded directly seaward.
