Mr. Thomas H. Seymour, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Connecticut, concluded a speech, delivered in the City Hall at Hartford, on the 9th of February, as follows:
These popular uprisings are not merely special in their character, but broad and general as the universal air, and sweep, at with the wings of an archangel, the vast horizon of maladministration and of horrible battle fields.
The true meaning of this is that the people are sick of this horrible fratricidal war, and demand that it shall be speedily terminated.

The cruise of the Florida.
--The Nassau correspondent of the Charleston Courier, under date February 9, gives the following account of the cruise of the Florida up to the day of her leaving that port:
The Confederate war steamer Florida, Captain Maffitt, sailed into the harbor of Nassau, after obtaining permission of the authorities, to coal for twenty-four hours. It was a cheering sight — the Confederate stars and bars floating over Confederate cannon in a foreign port.
Captain Maffitt and the officers of the Florida came ashore and were agreeably entertained by the resident Southerners and many of the citizens.
The Florida left Mobile Bay on the 16th of January. She was chased by the whole Federal squadron off that port, but run away from it easily, and in twenty-four hours was out of sight of the fleetest of the enemy.
Proceeding to the coast of Cuba, the Florida fell in with three Yankee vessels in quick succession.

I left Nashville February 9, and stayed at Stewart's Ferry that night; next morning went four miles beyond Beard's Mill; next day went five miles beyond Liberty.
On the 12th went to McMinnville, to Gen. Morgan's headquarters.
When I went into his office the General was not there, but his brother, Charlton Morgan, was in. He said to me, "Is it possible that you have got through." He then called one of the boys and sent word to the General that a man wanted to see him on important business.
The General came over, an

It must be confessed, however, that Bennett's denunciations are generally significant.
He never exfoliates from a party in power until it is likely to lose the spoils, and then he drops off to attach himself to another into whose clutches they are about to pass.
His capacity is well known, and his desertion of old Abe under the hypocritical plea of his dishonesty (oh, Bennett!) is discouraging to his prospects.
We learn from Washington dates of the 9th February that there was then paid out to the army and the public creditors over two millions of dollars per day, which, in a Washington letter, is pronounced "the present capacity of the printing presses.

Exhibiting faro.
--About the 9th of February last the Mayor issued a warrant to search a certain house located on Main street, between 12th and 13th, which was believed to be a gambling establishment, under the proprietorship of William H. Duke, of this city.
The search was promptly made by Capt. Pleasants and Officer John Davis.
The result of the investigation made by the police proved that on their forcing an entrance into the building Duke and Turpin fled to an adjoining house, that when they were pursued and captured Duke stooped down and placed something on the floor, which proved to be a "dealing box;" that in the room from which the two men fled were found a faro table ready spread, with chips, cards, &c., laid out, and that everything indicated that a game was in progress when the raid was made.
