of the Florida. No sooner is the Alabama at the bottom of the ocean than the Florida commences to fill the Yankee mind with dread. The New York papers are full of accounts of her exploits. The barks Greenland, Gen. Berry, Golconda, Zelinda, and the schooner Margaret Davis, have been burned by her since the 9th. The schooner Howard was bonded. The officers of the Florida are described so very gentlemanly in making their capture, but very saucy, one of them having sent his love to Abe Lincoln by one of the captured crew. The capture which has created most sensation is that of the Electric Spark, an 800 ton streamer, running between New York and New Orleans, with an assorted cargo worth $600,000.
