A BIG TIMBKR JOB IN FLORIDA. There is much talk here of timber, cotton and other speculations having been at the bottom of our recent opera- tions and misfortuves in Florida, Im particular, there are inquiries about two million dollars worth of timber that lay ia the St. Johns river, about twenty miles above Jacksonville, to which certain political jobbers of New Yorks have recently jaid claim, and for the rescue of which from rebel custody, by a fleet of gunboats and an army, they have quite recently been offering large in- @ucements. The timber bas been cut out from ite moor- {ngs and has been flo.ted down the river, This much we know from the Florida correspondence of all the papers. It now remains fer the Committee on the Conduct of the War to inquire in whose hands is that two million dollars worth of timber now, and were the ‘title deeds” shown by the claimants quite satisfactory.
