Signs of the times.
--There is now in the Dock a little schooner, the "
Florida," which flies at her mast-head a secession flag of
blue,
red and
white, with a single star in the centre.
The flag resembles the "
Lone Star" of
Texas, and is emblematic of the change which has taken place in the people of the section from which the schooner hails, which is
Jacksonville, Florida, the seat of the lumber trade in that State.
The people of
Jacksonville have all the sturdily independence of the old here after which they named their town, and are not disposed to bow down to a Black Republican idol or submit to oppression in any shape.
They are all enthusiastic in the cause of the
Confederated States.
