Rates of Insurance.— We are in
formed that the underwriters of this City
have by the concurrence of the compa
nies they represent, agreed upon a tariff
of charges for insurance somewhat
higher than those previously charged
In a few days the rates will be given to

Peace. —ln the kiud spirit in which
we know it is offered, we admit the
communication on “Peace,” from a col
ored man who has the respect of the
entire community, and we commend it
to the attention of all, and especially of
the freedmen whose votes are now
sought to be influenced by appeals to
their passions and prejudices.
Freights Reduced.— We alluded a
few days ago. to the reduction of freights
on the Central Railroad, especially in
provisions, We are pleased to observe
a similar reduction bv the South Caro
lina Railroad, while the Home Line of
Sleatr.ers have placed their charges far
below those of either Railroad. This
competition in freights must effi-ct the
price of grain, flour, and bacon, and
will be of immense advantage to our
people.

in an enlarged and liberal sense.—”
Much of ( the paper is made up of what
purports to be communications from
Abraham Lincoln, in the spirit world,
through Miss Lydia H. Baker, Medium
of the Epoch, Lancaster, Dallas county,
Texas. Altogether the paper is a sin
gular melange, which from our stand
point on the earth-plain,” is somewhat
incomprehensible —or to use the editor’s
language - “cosmic, too grand to be
even epidemic in a thousand numbers,”
hut the editor evidently feels that he is
right, and we most fraternally bid him
go ahead. Terms, $2 a year.

Frkedhkit’s Meeting. —There was a
very large meeting of the freedmen of thfe
City on Wednesday night, at Spring field
Church, to take into consideration the
policy to be pursued under the provis.
ions of the new bill which invests them
with the right of suffrage. Gspt. Prince,
U. S. A., explained the provisions of
the bill, in a lucid and temperate speech,
and was followed by a colored man
uamed Finch, who we learn gave his
hearers some excellent advice, urging,
them to pursue such a policy as would
conciliate the whits people and secure
their respect and friendship. A white
man who has recently settled here as a
lawyer, followed, and endeavored to
rally the audience to uuite in the
support of one ot the candidates for
Mayor who is couuected with the Freed
men’s Bureau. We learn that he was
quite persoual in his remarks toward a
gentleman who has been spoken of for
Mayor, and whose character as a kind
master bos won for him the high regard
of the better class of the colored people,
and that his remarks were calculated to
prejudice the colored people against
trusting their bid masters.
At the conclusion of his remarks,
those who favored the election of tht
lawyer’s candidate were requested to
say “ay,” and a considerable number
responded. Many, also, cried out, “no,
no.” -
We cannot refrain from expressing
the hope that the colored people will not
allow strangers to influence them to
array themselves as a body against tbe
white people, or for any particular can
didate. We want no white, map’s can
didate or freedman’s candidate. When
the colored man is permitted to vote—.
as we have no doubt he will be, at the
coming election, lie becomes a part of
tbe body politic, interested in the wise
administration of the laws, and should
not allow himself to be used as a tool
to array one class against another. The
freedmen are justly grateful to those
who have invested them with the right
of suffrage, and it is unquestionably
hard for the whites to recognize their
new rights. But we sra parts of the same
community—dependant on each other,
and it will be most fatal to social order
if the old prejudices of race and color
are to be made tbe basis of political
parties. The best friends to the freed
people after all, are those who have
grown up with them, and who still con
trol the employments by which they are
to make a living.
Avery grave responsibility rests
upon those, who from their official po
sition, or otherwise, seek to control the
policy o’s the colored people in exercising
the right of suffrage. Every considera
tion of prudence and patriotism demand
that sectional feeling, and the prejudices
and memories of the past be laid aside,
and that the public yood be the great
object of common concern. The white
people have no occasion to blame the
freedmen for their changed condition,
and the freedmen have nothing to gain
by pursuing a course that reminds the
whites of their misfortunes.
Alabama.— A committee of gentle
man—among whom are Generals John
ston, Hardee, and Morgan—has been
appointed by the citizens of Selma to
visit New Orleans, in the interest of the
New Orleans and Selma Railroad. It
is stated that the length of the pro
posed Road is only 245 miles, and that
in connection with the Alabama and
Mississippi Road, it will make a very
direct line to New York, and reduce
the time between thnt city and New
Orleans two days and a half.
In Montgomery, two or three days
ago, a negro fire company, in full uni
form, attended the funeral of one of
their members.
A negro in Montgomery has been
sentenced to twenty years in the peni
tentiary for the murder of his wife.
A negro in Montgomery, Sunday
before last, walked up to another negro,
who was quietly dressing, saying,
“Dick, I am going to kill you,” and
shot him.

The oldest printer in the United
States is said to be Robert McKnight,
of Cahaba, father of George McKnight
—known as Asa Hartz. He was born
in 1783, and learned his trade in the
office of the Georgetown (S. C.) Ga
zette. He followed the business sixty
years—with the exception of eight years
spent in other pursuits* He is now
eighty four years old, aud in perfec l
health.

An Unanswerable Defense of the
Veto. —The Tribune opens an article
on the reconstruction veto as follows:
Is the actual condition of the States
lately in arms against the Uniou one of
Peace or of War ? Everything hinges
on the answer to this question. If
those who were lately Rebels are now
loyal, peaceful citizens of the United
States—if they have truly, heartily, un
reservedly accepted the situation—if
they treat their loyal neighbors and the
loyal strangers who go among them
with courtesy and kindness—if the
Courts which they have established aud
restored since April, 1835, stand ready
to punish, and actually do punish, out
tages and crimes whereof consistent
Unionists are victims, and which have
their impulse in the maliguity and
chagrin of discomfited treason—then is
President Johnson’s Veto of the Recon
structiou Bill a wholesome and ueces
sary exercise of a constitutional pre
rogative wisely conferred on him by the
Constitution.
It is patent to the judgment of every
candid man—in spite of the letters of
hired correspondents and government
officers who write to keep themselves in
office—that all the conditions referred
to by the Tribune, as justifying the veto
do exist in the South. Our people are
loyal and peaceful, they have truly and
in good faith, accepted the situation ;
they do treat loyal citizens and loyal
visitors who deport themselves with de
cency and politeness, in the kindest and
most courteous manner ; the laws are
executed, and men are punished without
reference to color or political opinions.
These declarations will be sustained by
four fifths of the Northern people who
have been South since the dose of the
war, and are known to be true by every
honest observer ofthe condition of things
at the South. The dark calendar of crime
which has been committed all over the
whole country, there have been crimes
against black men, against Union men,
against Northern men —just as there
have been crimes at the North against
helpless women and children. Society
at the South is not immaculate—but we
honestly believe there is more really
bloody, devilish crime in one day in
Chicago or New York city, than in the
whole State ot Georgia in a week—that
there is less crime according to our
population, now, at the South, than
among any other people speaking the
English language 1 We say this, not
because we claim a higher civilization
here, but simply because wo are too
poor and too busy, and too anxious for
peace and quiet to connteuance crime.
Cheap Dailies. —The Rome Courier
thus modifies the harsh comments of a
previous issue on this subject:
The Augusta Daily Pkess —which
is, by the way, a very sprightly sheet,
and edited with ability—thinks our ar
ticle decidedly “illiberal.” It may be
that we are in error in predicting a short
life to cheap dailies in the Souih, but if
this idea is not true, it must be disproved
in the future. If there is more than
one cheap daily south of the Potomac
that is two years old, we arc not aware
of it. During the past fifteen years
numerous efforts have been made to
establish this class of papers at various
points in the South, but so far as we
know every one, except the Richmond
(Va.) Dispatch, has had a short life, and
the proprietors have lost money by the
euterprises.
It any one can make a cheap daily
self sustaining we believe brother Pughe
can do it, but we “know of no way to
judge the future except by the past.”
—Raphael Semmes has assumed edi
torial charge of the Memphis Bulletin.
In his salutatory he suggests that the
only way by which the South oan bene

country, is to attend to her industrial
interests and let politics alone.

-Feb. 22, 1867. f
1 Editor Se'ntirtH: If has occurred td
.me. that whii*i travelling through your
State, an occasional letter in the col
jour valuable- and extensively
circulated paper, giving a true and im
partial description of the natural scenes,
u* we go along, might bv--interesting.
In « v ery ana country it bus befell
tih* will wnd custom"of the people to
celebrate in song and story, the beauties
of the scenery, the fragrance of the
flower*, etc. The poets of England,
Scotland, and Trefaiid, and, indeed,-of
every land, have reminded their people
that when everything else was taken
from them that was moveable, by the
incursious of the enemy, or 'Cruelty of
tyrant rulers, they had still left them
their lovely rivers and lakes in which all
felt a just pride. In our owu great
country we have many noble rivers and
lakes to boast of, that surpass those of
all other countries in magnitude.' Each
State has its rivers, the majority of
which are useful as rieU'aa ornamental
and are all prized, written, and spoken
of by the people possessing their ad
vantages, in the most glowing terms.
The people ot Florida, alone, do not
seem to appreciate the beauties aud
utility of their rivers and lakes. Are
there no men or women in Florida, who
-will make known to the world the ex
cellence of her climate, the diversity of
soil, and extent of her rivers and lakes,
and say to the people of the world, East,
West, North, and South, who may de
sire the enjoyment of perpetual summer,
aye a Paradise, with but little exertion
On their part, come here? We will ex
ten i to you a warm 'greeting-aud the
hospitality of our sunny land.
Yes, Floridians, wake up from your
lethargy ; * bright future awaits you ;
let your oolicy be as broad and exten
sive as your lovely, inland seas, and as
mild and inviting as your own sunny
clime. Let old animosities die out, if
any are still slumbering in your bosoms,
and invite all good citizens to come and
sbaie your happiness and thrive on their
industry and share the products of the'
soil.
Let us first take a glance at the St.
John’s river, the original name of which
is Welaka, Chain of Lakes. How appro
priate the name! Why has it been per
verted ? From its mouth to Jacksonville
it is extensively known throughout the
United States as it is visited by sailing
vessels trom almost every port in the
United States, and the Canadas, cruis
ing for lumber and timber ot different
kinds. , , r _
Jacksonville is situated on the west
side of the St. John’s river, twenty-live
miles from its mouth, has a population
of, say three thousand people, has a
good set of gas works, churches of
nearly every denomination, schools tor
the white children, also for the freed
man ; is in daily communication with
Savannah by railroad, and with the
interiur of Florida. It has, also, two
lines of steamers from Charleston and
Savannah touching there on their way
further up the river. The! steamer Dar
lington running from Jacksonville to the
upper St. John’s, touching at every land
ing on the river as far up as Lake Har~
ney—two hundred and forty miles from
Jacksonville. There are many fine
stores and warehouses in Jacksonville,
and tbe merchants and people of the
city generally are respectable and in
good standing.
The Southern Express Company too,
have a very fine office on Bay street,
tastefully fitted up, and a splendid team
aud wagon which can be seen at almost
any time of the day, driving to and from
the stores, delivering and picking up
freight and valuables. This, of itself,
is a sure indicator of the prosperity of
the city. There are, also, two neat, well
conducted newspapers —the Florida
Union and Times —published in Jack
sonville. There, too, is the distributing
Posioffice for the State of Florida. So
much for Jacksonville.
mandarin. -
On the east bank of the St. Johns
river, ten miles from Jacksonville, is a
pleasant location. About a dozen fami
lies are settled in the immediate vicinity
of tire landing. Planting and stock
raising is their principal pursuit. The
locality is said to be very healthy The
river irom Jacksonville to this place is,
on an average, about one mile wide, but
like the St. John’s all tne way to Lake
Harney, is very irregular in width, it
being a succession ot lakes, narrowing
and expanding alternately from its source
to its month.
laurel grove,
About fifteen miles from Jacksonville,
situated on the west side of the rivet, is
said to be tbe best plantation on the
river. It is owned by Mr. George S.
Hookey of Augusta, Ga. There are
nine thousand acres in the plantation,
a considerable portion of which is under
cultivation. The United States mgils
are put off' and received at this place
for the accommodation of the neighbor
hood,
HIBERNIA,
Twenty-five miles from Jacksonville,
on Flemming’s Island, west side of the
St. John’s river, is a pretty place. It
has a fine Hotel, Which is a home for
inVaflds. The hotel building is two
stories high, piaza running round the
river front aud south side of the build
ing. A fine wharf extends far out into
the river. A primitive railway is con
strueted on the wharf for the convey
ance of baggage and other articles for
the Hotel.
MAGNOLIA,
Twenty eight miles from Jacksonville,
on the west bank of the river, is a beau
tiful spot, situated on a bay or lake. At
this place there is a hospital supported
bv the Govermnant for the use of Freed
men, and in charge of the Freedmen’s
Bureau. Dr. Applegate is resident
surgeon, and occupies a beautiful house
surrounded with magnolias, live oaks,
and water oaks. This place might very
apppropriately be called “the hidden
beauty.” It is selected as a Conven
ient and healthy place for a hospital,
which speaks well for St. John’s river.
GREEN COVE SPRINGS,
Is two miles further up the river from
Magnolia. The fine Hotel building,
kept by Mrs. S. A. Eaton, is three sto
ries high, contains fifty ene rooms,
piazza extending round the river and
south fronts. It is furnished in elegant
style and carpeted throughout. About
three yards from the house is the Warm
Sulpher Springs. The house is full of
boarders, from every point of the com
pass. Invalids come here to recuperate,
and are not disappointed. All speak
very highly of the beneficial effects of
the "sulphur baths and the comforts of
home afforded them by the kiud hearted
proprietress of the boose. A splended

design-Hbat is, to make her house a
home of comfort for visitors.
FI CO LATA.
Is about miles from Jacksonville,
on the east side of the river. Nothing
remarkable or attractive about the places
it is, however, a very important Doiat,
being the place of debarkation for pas
sengers going to Si. Augustine, Fla ,
: eighteen mises distant, iu an easterly
direction; and though not improved or
beautified by art, is still important for
the above reasons. Mrs. Bravo lives
near the lauding. She is very kind aud
attentive to travellers going to or coming
from St. Augustine, in that “Paradise
by the Sea,” bid away, as it were, from
tue outer world. (When will our poople
be able to appreciate the beauty of this
charming old city and the excellence
of its ctimate? Perpetual summer and
kind hearts are there to invite the stran
ger. It has no rival oa this continent
as a healthy location.)
FEDERAL. POINT,
Situated on the east bauk of the river,
is a prominent point of land extending
far out into the river. Ths U. S. mails
are put off arid received here. Folsom
and Tettny, the proprietors of the plan
tation surrounding the landing, are north
ern men, industrious and deserving, the
fruits of whose labor is to be seen from
the deck of our steamer, in the beauty
of some fine orange trees, on the
branches of which hang gracefully many
of these delicious fruits. The general
improvements on the place speak vol
umes for the thrift and industry of the
proprietors, and say to those in quest of
happy homes, settle in Florida, where
nature with a little attention on your
part, will secure you such a home.

Newspaper Enterprise. —The fol
lowing instance of enterprise in the
years preceding the introduction of the
telegraph is given in an article on
the London Times in Chambers' Cyclo
pedia:
In 1842, a remarkable instance of
the trouble and expense incurred with
this view was brought uuder notice.
The news of the massacre in the Caboo
Pass was first made known in the
Times. The correspondent's letter
containing it had been forwarded from
Marseilles to Paris by carriages espe
. cially hired ; from Paris to Boulogne
by horse; thence to Dover by the
steamer belonging to the newspaper
(which had beeeu for days in the chan
nel with steam up), and from Dover to
Loudon again by horse. The letter
reached the office at two o'clock on
Sunday afternoon, and was immediately
put into the hands of the compositors
who had been kept in attendance from
the preceding day, in expectation of its
arrival. The cost of conveying this
letter from Marseilles to London was
upwards of £3OO.
Farmers' Wives. —The reading of
essays by the ladies is oue of the ex
ercises which give life and interest to
the meetings of the Springfield, Vt.,
Fanners' Club. From one of the essays
by Mrs. Daniel Rice, published in the
Vermont Farmer, the following para
graphs are copied :
Did you ever think of the amount of
thought rrquisito to plan three meals a
day, for three hundred and sixty five
days, in succession ? To prepare enough
and not too much, and for those living
at a distance from the village, to remem
ber that the stock of flour, sugar, tea,
etc., etc., is replenished in due time?
Do you ever think of the multitude of
her cares and duties? She must rise
early to prepare breakfast or oversee it.
Perhaps there are children to wash,
dress, and feed, or to get ready for
school with their dinners. There is
baking, sweeping, dusting, making beds,
lunch for the men, may be; dinner and
supper to be made ready at the proper
time; the washing, starching folding,
and ironing of clothe..; the care of milk
including the making of butter and
cheese; and the inevitable washing of
dishes.
In autumn there is the additional
work of picking, preserving, canning of
fruit, drying apples, "boiling cider,
making apple sauce, with the still more
unpleasant task which falls to her lot
at butchering time. Then there is
haying, harvesting, sheep-shearing, etc.,
when more help is needed, bringing an
increase of her labors. Twice a year
comes house-cleaning. By the way, of
all the foes a housekeeper has to con
tend with, dirt is the greatest. She
may gain a complete victory, and think
to repose upon her laurels after her
semi-uuuual engagements, but it is only
temporary. The enemy soon returns,
ami even daily skirmishing does not
keep it at bay. There is the mending,
too. Sewiug machines are great bless
ings, but they can’t set in the patch or
darn the stockings. I do not mention
these things by way of oomplainjng of
Woman’s lot in general, or of asking for
her any rights which sho does not
possess. I don't know as there is any
remedy in the present state of the world.
It seems to he one of the evils of life
which must be borne ns we bear other
ills—but what I do ask, is a due appre
ciation ol the important part that woman
acts, and a concession that her labors,
mental and physical, are as great, all
things considered, as those of the other
sex. Women are not so childish that a
little sympathy now aud then, or ac
knowledgement of their efforts and
sacrifices make them imagine their
case worse than it is. I tell you, men
and husbands, “It doeth good like a
medicine," and many a poor, crushed,
broken-down wife and mother is dying
for want of it.
—Not long ago, when the Emperor
was ill, some one asked the Prince Na
poleon what would take place if the
Emperor should die ? - The- Prince re
plied : “The Empress and the Impe
rial Prince will be kicked out of France,
and the republic established 1”
—The Queen of Spain has made a
family party of exiles, by ostracising her
nearest, if not dearest, relatives, such as
the only sister of the Queen, her sister's
husband, the Duke de Montpensier, and
the brother of the King, and the Queen’s
, husband.
