Covington Enterprise: Afew.weeksago
a number of unknown persons called at
the residence of Mr. E. Kelly, in Jasper
county, with the intention of killing him
on sigh*r Mr. Kelly’s little boy came to
the ddor, and as he opened it several shots
were fireid at him, one taking effect in his
leg. For some time the affair was shrouded
in mystery and the guilty parties were
not even suspiciened. Last week three
negroes surrendered themselves to the
authorities in Jasper county and plead
Ity to the crime. They were immedi-
ly imprisoned hi the Monticello jail,
mpni
where they now lie awaiting a trial. They
assign.as a reason for the attempted mur
der that they intended to kill Mr Kelly
in order to be released from a contract to
build a fence.
Atlanta Herald: The Governor yester.
day closed up the bids for the peniten
tiary convicts. The following is the
award: George D. Harris, of Bartow,
took fifty at §20' a head per annum, to
work in the iron works in that county.
The Dade County Coal Company took 100
at §11 per head per annum, to work on
the coal mines, for 5 years. The North
eastern ltailroad took 50 at $11 a head
for 21 months. Wallace Haley & Com
pany, contractors for the North Georgia
Railroad of Marietta, took 200 for
years, at $11 per annum. Mr. Heniy Ste
phens took 50 for one year, at $20 a head.
Messrs. Smith, Biddle and Taylor, of
Washington county, took 100 for five

poses." Each of these
for farming pu
gentlemen took S
33
convicts. John T. & W. D. Grant took
180 for five years at $11 a head. This
makes a total of 630, all the convicts now
on hand. Grant, Alexander <fc Co. paid,
under the contract Which expires on the
first of April, $50 a head. This yielded
the State a revenue of $31,500. Under
the present arrangements they will yield
$8,800. Messrs. Wallace, Haley & Co.
made their bond yesterday according to
law, as soon as the bid was awarded.
The Governor rejected a bid made
by one party to take the whole force
and support it for its labor, paying
the State nothing; merely taking the
striped elephant off its hands. The Gov
ernor found only enough convicts to
satisfy a small portion of the bids made.
In awarding them he has had an eye to
scattering them judiciously through the
different sections of the State, and to
putting them at a diversity of pursuits,
thus testing the question of their adapta
bility to work and giving them the power
to “run out*’ no especial class of laborers,
but only to work experiments in several
directions. We feel more interest in the
experiment to be made by Messrs. Smith,
ltiddle & Taylor, planters of Washington
county, than in any others. These gentle
men wanted two hundred, but only got one
hundred. They will each of them take
thirty-three and put them on their plan
tations. They have been paying from
$100 to $200 a year for laboring hands,
and now get them at $11. They calculate
that they will have to each employ about
six mounted pickets to watch their gangs.
This they can afford to do. Mr. Taylor
is quite .anguine of the success of his
venture. It is probable that this farming
project, if a success, will take aU the
convicts as they are discharged from
other enterprises. We may estimate that,
with a good crop of crime, and' sturdy
harvesters on the bench, there will be at
least a hundred new convicts sent up
this year. DeKalb county contributed
four for twenty years each, last week.

Nearly every nation of Europe has
some less powerful State or Province un
willingly joined to it, and held in vassal-
age. Bussia has Poland, Austria has
Hungary, England has Ireland, Germany
has Alsace and Lorraine, Turkey has
Crete, and even' Denmark has Iceland.
The Icelanders have been subject to
Danish rule for centuries, with the ex
ception of a brief period of successful,
rebellion, when a sort of republican gov
ernment was maintained. The island has
heretofore been governed by laws en
acted by Denmark, and the Icelanders
have in vain demanded home rule and a
legislature of their own. Now, when
nearly one thousand years have elapsed
since the Vikings discovered the island,
Denmark has granted the long-asked-for
concession, and Iceland is to have a sepa
rate Parliament or Althing, thirty of
whose members will be elected by popu
lar suffrage.
Business Eastwabd.—Much is written
at present about alleged dullness in busi
ness, but there are many contradictory
reports. For example, a correspondent
of the Boston Daily Advertiser, writing
from Athol, Mass., says:
“The boot and shoe manufacturing
business is not the only, one by any means
that has an encouraging prospect for the
coming season. The furniture business
is exceedingly good already, while the
cotton and woolen business also seems to
be looking up. The Pequoig Hosif
Company is hard pressed to fill ordeis,
aud all the manufacturing concerns are
running on full time.”
It will thus be seen that there is a silver
lining to the cloud which still hangs over
commercial interests, and that an ac
tivity which promises soon to become
general prevails among the more enter
prising communities.
How the Sections Voted on “ Infla

correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says
New England was solid against inflation.

nine members out of thirty-three from
New York voted for the bill. Of the
Sonthem aud Western members, only
twenty-three voted against the bilk Of
the Democrats present fifty-two voted for
the bill, and twenty-two against it. Of
the Badicals, one hundred and fourteen
voted for the bill and fifty-four against
it. All the Georgia members voted for
the bill.
The New Orleans Picayune says that
Pinchback left that city for Washington
on Saturday evening, to renew his contest
for a seat in the Senate; and that before
his departure he called a meeting of
prominent colored men at his house, and
informed them that the people of the
North were convinced that carpet-bag rale
was not the thing desirable in the South-
erh States. The Picayune also says that
the Bepublican committee have deter
mined, in the event of a new election, to

THE CNIVEESITY BACK
London, March 28.—The annual race
between the Oxford and Cambridge boat’s
crews came off this morning over the
usual course, on the Thames, from Put
ney to Montlake, a distance of four miles
and two furlongs, and, as has been the
case in the past lour years, resulted in
victory for the Cambridge boat, which
came in two lengths ahead of its rival.
The weather was beautiful and a more
propitious day for the contest could not
have been selected. The crowd that as
sembled to witness the race was -unprece
dented. On the Surrey side of the river,
from Putney to Montlake, there was one
compact mass of people one hundred and
fifty feet wide, and at the latter place
carriages five deep stood in long rows.
The Princess of Wales and the Duchess
of Edinburgh, xyho were expected to be
among the spectators, were absent. Upon
a toss for choice of positions, Cambridge
won, and selected Middlesex on the north
ern side. The Oxford crew rowed into
the stream at one minute past II o’clock.
Five minutes later the Cambridge boat
appeared, and was received with immense
cheering by
its friends. The betting at
this time was five to two in favor of Cam
bridge. All things being in readiness,
at fourteen minutes past 11 o’clock
the signal to start was given, and
the boats got away instantaneously. Cam
bridge had the advantage from the first,
running at the rate of thirty-seven strokes
per minute, but both crews pulled stead
ily, and after an exciting contest, Cam
bridge reached the ship at Montlake at
thirty-seven minutes and thirty-five sec
onds past 11 o’clock, winning the race in
twenty-three minutes and thirty-five sec
onds. The water, though not so smooth
as would have been desired, was fairly
calm.

Upfeb St. John’s Rivbb, -
March 18, 1874. )
I commence this at midnight in the sa
loon of this staunch little steamer while
she is plowing her way steadily np the
river, southward. The boat is crowded,
like the others, and while writing the
floors of the saloon, as well as the lounges,
are occupied by sleeping passengers.
The accommodating Captain fixed us
off comfortably, but I could fcot sleep,
and so while the throbbing monster be
low is driving ns through the dark waters
between the narrowing banks, I take np
the thread of my narrative, as the novel
writers say.
Leaving Green Cove Spring, that de
lightful resort, about 3 p. m., on the
splendid steamer City Point, we were in
a few hours again at Palatka. The run
was the most pleasant imaginable. As
we sped swiftly over the glassy surface,
covered with myriads of wild ducks, the
sun sank slowly like a great ball of fire
behind the dense foliage on the western
bank, spanning the smooth water with a
broad pathway of gold. It was a lovely
picture, and one that will not soon be for
gotten.
In course of conversation with an old
gentleman he inquired about Mr. Ste
phens, and remarked that he thought the
negro Elliott had used him up on the
civil rights question. I mildly replied
that it was owing to the standpoint from
which one looked at the subject. I had
read the speeches, and while one was a
complete and exhaustive argument, the
other. I thought, was a petty speech,
gotten up by Butler or some other
Northern member for the occasion.
He said that ho had never read
them, but was informed by a mem
ber of Congress from New York that
such was the case. I replied that it was
either paying the negro a great compli
ment or saying very little for Northern
Congressmen, as it was the first time in
thirty years that they had nsed him np.
I found out that the old chap had been
sojourning at Mandarin for some time
with Mother Stowe, and had imbibed all
her social equality ideas.
During our short trip on the City Point,
I found both Captain Fitzgerald and the
Purser, Mr. Cavado, courteous officers
and most clever gentlemen. The City
Point is one of the most elegant and
popular boats running to Florida.
The wharves at Palatka were lined
with steamers, bound mostly for
the Ocklawaha and upper St. John’s.
After taking on board a large
quantity of freight, we left about
10 o’clock at night, followed by two boats,
ilich we soon lost sight of. We made
o landings during the night, of
darkness, I was tina-
was breaking
young moon was hanging low down in the
west, and the smooth water reflecting
myriads ot stars, we streamed out into
Lake Monroe, shortly after coining up
to the wharf at Sanford. A mile from
here, and also on the western or southern
shore of the lake is Mellonville, where
the Lollie Boy left ns until she returned
from Lakes Heamy and Jessup.
Lake Monroe is like all the other “fan
on the river, a calm, beautiful sheet of
water. Its shores are more thickly set
tled than the others.
Mellonville is a growing town of some
twenty-five, or thirty families, and has a
good hotel kept by Dr. Hite, of Virginia,
who also has a drag store. There are
some four or five other stores. The coun
try about Mellonville is~ mostly covered
with pine. . ^
On a straight sandy road, leading south,
about two miles, is Fort Reid, another
village which has two churches, (Presby
terian and Methodist), a hotel and several
stores. The country is thickly settled
with persons engaged in fruit culture, aud
many fine groves of oranges are to be
seen in the vicinity. I walked out a mile
to that of Mr. Arthur Ginn, whom I
found at home. Mr. G. has represented
Orange county in the Legislature several
terms and is an old resident of this place,
having lived here twenty-five years. There
are two groves, the road running betw een
them. In one there is about three hun
dred and in the other, where the Residence
is, five oWsix hundred trees^ I also saw
many trees of the Sicily and native
lemons. .
Sanford contains a fine ' Episcopal
Chnich, one store, a printing office, post
office and several families.
On the pine lands fertilizers are used, I
was told, with good results, in the raising
of vegetables, &c. Among those used, I
heard Solomon’s Compound spoken of
highly.
As you go further from Mellonville the
lands become better, there being more
hammock. Strawberries and vegetables
are had nearly all the year round. The
weather was like midsummer,, but tem
pered by a cool sea breeze. Sand is very-
deep in this as in all other portions of East
Florida, and fleas and other insects
abound I heard of a novel way they
have here of catching fleas. It is to
simply peel a pine saplingandplace.it
UDder the house, and the little devils
stick to it until the pole becomes black
with them.
Among the prominent business men at
Mellonville, besides those|nnnied, I would
mention Messrs. M. J. Doyle, T. A.-
Hughey, Kelly & 'Williams and General
Sanford, of Sanford. Five miles across
th*e lake, and in full view, is Enterprise,
with a large hotel and several stores.

rises I ever saw, even
proaching the southern shore, clot
eternal verdure, the mouth of the river
was scarcely distinguishable on account
of its diminished width and the blending
of forest and stream. Near the mouth
was a bar, on which soundings were taken,
giving only four and a half feet water.
One could hardly believe that it is the
same river, so narrow has it become.
Lake George seems to be a reservoir from
which the lower river issues with in
creased volume. As the Lollie Boy wound
in aud around between low, swampy
banks, covered with a dense growth of
palmetto, cypress, and other trees
belonging to the tropics, with ever and
anon a beautiful lake or green lagoon,
covered with huge bonnets and water
lilies,.the scenery was enchanting.
The alligators began to show themselves
and a perfect battery of small arms was
immediately opened from the boat.
About breakfast we reached Volusia, a
settlement consisting of one or two stores
and a few houses. This place is about
sixty miles from Palatka and on the left
bank, as most of the settlements seem to
be. Orange Bluff is another landing three
miles beyond. It is a pretty place, with
one neat residence perched upon an ele-
vated knoll, rising in the midst of an
orange grove. As the boat nears Haw-
k ins villt: vegetation along the shores chang
es somewhat, the palmetto and the rank
uudergrowth becoming generally less luxu
riant. | In many places the banks are' free
from it altogether, presenting the appear
ance of parks, through'which occasional
glimpses are had of cool, green |vistas in
the shade of Ibe lofty trees. The river
here is about the width of tbe Big Ogee-
chee where the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road crosses it.
Hawkinsville, formerly Osceola, is on a
rocky, bluff, on the right bank, in Orange
county. It is a desirable location, bnt at
present there is bnt one dwelling in sight
and a small store, near which is a fine
banana grove. The rock of which the
bank is composed contains numerous
small snail shells, mostly unbroken. The
river makes a short bend to the left,
forming a pool ninety feet in depth.
One mile further up, on the opposite
side, in Volusia county, the boat ran
alongside of Cabbage Bluff, a lauding
with two or three small houses. After a
run of five miles, the river- widens into
Lake Beresford. We crossed this about
one' o’clock- This is' a small lake, on
which there are two landings within a
mile of each other. On entering the lake
the steamer pushes’ her way through a
sea of wide leafed bonnets, presenting a

singular appearance, spreading out with
their broad leaves and long stems trailing
on the water. The - eastern shore slopes
gently from the water’s edge and-is cov
ered with a rich growth of trees, among
which, half hidden by the green foliage,
is a small new building, and running out
into the lake a good, substantial wh^f. I
found the building occupied as a store by
my enterprising young friend, Mr. Arthur
Rosseter, formerly of Hamilton Co., Fla.
He is doing well, and wants his friends
and the public generally, to come down
and help him settle np the countiy. A
few miles from Lake Beresford, on tam
ing a bend in the river, a beautiful reach
was opened. Under some tall green trees
on a point, were a number of white tents
spread, while in the cool shade two taste
fully dressed ladies were seated with par
asols up as if preparing for a walk. An
old gentleman was seated near by, while
a younger one, accompanied by a negro,
came to the bank to receive a ham of
venison which we landed for them.
Haulded up on the shore and in the water
were several small, brightly painted ca
noes, made on the model of the bark
canoes of the Indians. Just beyond,
where a lagoon came in, and opposite
which the river made a graceful curve,
was Blue Spring. Our Captain informed
me that it was clear and blue at times,
making a pretty appearance, bnt now it
was too muddy. The persons whose camp
looked so pretty, were a party of North
ern prospectives looking for a location.
Not far from this camp we passed
the little steamer, Mary Draper, from
Jacksonville, with a party of excursionists.
The boat was moored to the, bank^ while

two miles, and then it came at the drift
at the rate of forty miles an hour. The
snow parted like ocean billows: huge
masses rolled down the mountain side,
as each impact cleft, and tore and shat
tered the yielding mass. The smoke and
fire from eleven funnels, the tops of
which could just be seen above the drifts,
the horrible noise and din of the puffing
steam, and the great white heaps being
thrown high in the air, and tumbling
down tbe mountain side, all furnished a
scene which only those who have wit
nessed it can ever appreciate.
