The Florida.
We are glad to hear that the Confederate steamer Florida is once more at sea, though we are not informed whether her commander, Mafritt, has sufficiently recovered from his late illness to resume his duties.
If he is once more on her decks we may soon expect to hear of more Confederate piracies.--It is an astonishing thing that the hundreds of Yankee cruisers on the alert for Semmes and Maffitt always make out to miss them.
It speaks volumes for the skill and energy of those commanders, that they have so long successfully eluded the pursuit of the whole Yankee navy.
