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. BY TELEGRAPH. melanchoi.lv disaster. The IsaacMead of this Port Sunk! 28 Persons Drowned. Nr.w York, October 5, P. M. I , Received in Savanuali, at 24 oclock, r. .M. ) The bark ltaac Mead, Capt.

There were only two passen gers saved j their names are not given. THIRD DISPATCH Washington, Oct. 5,9 o’clock, 20, P. M. 1 Received iu Suvannnb, 9 o clock. 25,1. M. > 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 Barstow, of Wilmington Island,Georgiu, and Dr. E- d. McGinnis, wife and child, ol Savannah. The steamship Southerner was but slightly dnmng- ed by the collision. 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.

' U ' 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 Abolition Preacbcrn. 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 Quaker settlement The enemy are among us. re 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. — Disaster at Sen and Loss of Life. The barque Sophia, of Portland, Me., fell In, on the 3d ult. in lat. 59, Ion. 25, with the brig Johanna Johnson, (of Stockholm,) bound from Charleston, 8.C., to Bremen, with a cargo of pitch pine timber and spirits of turpentine. Tlie Johanna was In a vi ry disabled condition, had five feet of water In her hold, and was leakingat the rate of an inch amimite. Tl e Sophia took off the captain and crew. John Clark, of Calai*, Me., and a French seaman of the Sophia were drowned. Nothing was aaved but what the crew atoed in The Indian Appxopbjation Bill, in the In. diau Appropriation Bill passed by the Senate, there Is about a million of dollars for the Clierokee In dians, for culms due them upon leaving Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee; it is said, that certain white agents at Washington wil’ get about the most of it. After the bill was passed, end it went through with a straggle,jtbese agents, it is said, were in high glee. Shocking Muvdex.—Phebe Sharpies*, daughter of Aaron Sharpless, teacher of a school ot Rocky Hill, . near Wert Chester, Pa., was found brutally murder ed at the door of the school house, on Saturday morning- She was thnt through the back of the neck. A man named George rharaoh was arrested on suspicion, and on his person was found a ncwi-pa- gier with a piece tom off, and the piece was found gieer the murdered lady, having been used for -the wadding of the gun thst killed her. She was an esti- •rablcyoung lady, ond the occurrence produced a gie# excitement in lhe neighborhood. 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.

I trust thnt the public of New-York will frown down the attempt, and hoot the fellow from the building There was a rumor yesterday that Howard Si Son, the owners of a line, of steamers between this port nnd Chagres, had failed. They got into a tight placo it seems, and their notes Wi re protested on Satur day. but I hear that they got through all straight. It wna occasioned by the failure "f eertuin ship builders to take up their notes. H Si Son have been build- in* pretty extensively lately. There is a talk about getting up a subscription to purchase the freedom of the slave Hamlet, who was arrested here last week The price demanded is $8(X). which I have no doubt will be raised.
