MORNING NEWS. [From the Charleston Courier.] THE MAID OF CONGAREE. Air—“ Dearest May." BY THE HON. B. F. PORTER. Down by the flowing Congarec, A dark-eyed maiden dwells; When’er her graceful form I see, What joy my bosom swells ! The hand of Heaven alone has form’d This maid, so full of grace; It’s breath, with loveliest life, has warm’d Each feature of her faco. Oh! dearest maid ! Oh ! maid of Congarec ! You’er lovely as the glowing morn, That rises o’er the sea! When’er upon those eyes I gaze, Through tresses flowing free, There Love with melting glances plays, As in a pearly sea! ' While 1 behold a glowing light, Deep in my bosom flies; electric spark, so quick, so bright, I die in exstasics. Oh! dearest maid! Oh! maid of Congaree! You’re lovely as the glowing morn That gilds the eastern sen! The summer streams may cease to flow, And summer suns to shine: Nor time nor chnuge shall dim the glow Of that dark eye of thine! When thou art gone, the brightest morn Is overcast with gloom: The drooping flow’rs their goddess mourn— All dark their hapless home. Oh! dearest maid! Oh! maid of Congaree! You re lovely as the glowing morn That rises o’er the sea! without deterioration. No frost destroys the Sugar Cane, the Cotton Plant sur vives through the winter, and a great variety of tropical Iruits can be profita bly cultivated. Louisiana, while in climate it is milder^ more equal and more salubrious. With triflng expendi ture the whole of the State canoe brought within easy reach of a market. The Indians have heretofore been the great obstacle'to the settlements of this inviting region; not merely because they have actual possession of a considerable portion of the Peninsula, but because such is their restlessness and inconstan cy of character, so strong their disposi tion to thieving and violence, and so incompatible their tempers and habits with those of the whites, that even settle ments a long way Irom their limits have felt the danger of outbreak and incursion. Gradualy, however, the white population has pushed forwaid its lines and increased its strength, till there is no longer dan ger that the savages will be tempted by any circumstances to try the chances ot war, and recent events will probably lead to their speedy removal. The lat ter would be followed by the speedy set tlement of the whole Peninsula, and when the capacity of Florida is |fairly tested, we venture to say thino South ern State will exhibit a greatet or richer variety ot products. To those of our own Sta’ e who may be disposed to emigrate, no region offers a more inviting prospect than Florida. It is near us; its lands are cheap and fruitful; its climate is mild and equal; it has all the facilities of an island and of a part of the continent combined; and moreover eo many South Carolinians have already sransplanted themselves thither, that it is no longer a strange land. ilUseellam F ish hooks anSd jlines.- Limerick, Kerby and Vtiiinm Trout Hooks Silk, Hair Grass, Hemp, Opt ton, and Gimp, Twisted Snell and Fly lines.

Florida. We publish below an interesting letter from a South Carolinian settled in Florida, giving some account of his planting oper ations in his new home. The writer is an emigrant from Newberry District, and a gentleman perfectly trustworthy. He has been three years in Florida, where he started in the simplest pioneer fashion. With all the multifarious diffi culties of providing a home in the woods, and clearing the land fob cultivation, he has succeeded the third y^ar in raising crops for the market that nett him $388 to the hand, besides providing abundant ly for the sustenance ol the plantation. This is certainly better than California, and we understand there are other settlers who have done still better. All that we have heard of Fhsaida recently tends to convince us that she has the natural resources to make her ■one of the richest and most powerful States in the Confederacy. Her climate and soil adapt her to nearly all the valu able products of Cuba, ana in scarcely an inferior degree. In the Southern part the Havana Tobacco flourishes OCALA, Dec. 29, 1849 Dear Sir : At your request. I will make a brief statement of facts relative tolmy success in planting since I came to Florida. I landed at Ocala, January 27, 1847, not having selected any spot for a settlement, and in making a selection I occupied two weeks, which brought the 12th day of February. At this period 1 went into the woods, and commenced clearing land, and we had every pole to cut, and every board to split, to erect cabins to shelter us Irom the weather. We cleared and fenced about sixty acres oi land, and planted it about the 1st of April, and rented about twenty acres more, about twenty miles from our settle ment, being no land that we could get any nearer. Our crop this year was barely sufficient to support us and provide for the ensuing one. At the commencement of 1848, we be gan to clear in good earnest, and suc ceeded in reducing to a rough state of cultivation about ten acres to each hand a large portion of which was hammock, the rest was pine, oak and hickory land; finished planting it on the 27th day of April. The result was that we raised a full supply of provisions, made some im provements, and were able to clear a nett i irofiit of $40 to each hand, though we ost at least half of our Corn and Cotton crop by two storms or gales, one in Sep tember, the other in October: The present year we have been more successful. Our provision crop has been abundant, having raised and housed enough of Corn to supply the wants ol the farm for two year, and leaving to each hand 100 bushels to sell, which at 50 cents per bushel, would make $50. Our stock of Pork Hogs is very nearly sufficent to supply the wauls of the farm as to maet, as Hogs do well here with proper attention. Our Cotton crop is a- bout 1350 pounds of clean Long Cotton to each hand, worth in Savannah at pres ent from 20 to 25c. per pound, but we will estimate it at 22 1-2, and the aggregate will be $303 75. In addition we have Short Cotton and Tobacco enough to pay all the expenses and contingencies of the E lace, such as Overseer’s wages, Doctor’s ill, clothing, taxes, bagging, freight, &c. We have further cultivated two acres of Sugar to the hand:|one we have put by for seed, the other we will work up but have not yet completed the machinery for doing so. This acre we will put down as a clear piofit of $35 per hand. Thus we have. Pistols.

These results have been produced on a farm of 217 acres ol cleared land, part hammock, part pine and some hickory and oak land, and cultivated by fourteen hands, or 151-2 acres to each hand. Our Physician’s bill in 1847 was about $20; in 1848, about two dollars and fifty cents; this year I am not able Ic narpe the amount, as he has been absent for some time, and I have not been furnished with it. There have been two deaths among the negroes, both infants, one from worms, and the other from a fall. Very respectfully, yours. G raefenberg medi- CINES.—The Graefenburg Compound Sarsaparilla is given up,by all who have occasion to test its virtue, to be the most genuine and valuable Sarsaparilla that is now offered to the public. The Gaefonburg Health Bitters, Eye Lotion, &c., are now extensively used by some of"the most respectable citizens of Savannah, all of whom have spoker. in the highest terms of their value; and it is a fact worthy of note, that if any person buys one of these articles, they are sure to return and purchase again. The Agent has always on hand a supply of Sar- rsaparilla Compound; Vegetable Pills; Fever and Ague Pills; Health Bitters; Eye Lotion; Consumptives Balm; Uterine Catholecon; Green Mountain Ointment; Children’s Panacea; a very valuuble spring Medicine for children; Dysentery Syrup and Pile Ointment, both of which are warranted to cure—no cure, no pay. SARSAPARILLA. The Sarsaparilla Compound of this company is almostlit- erally a sulphate of sarsaparilla. So high ly concentrated is it that the dose is but the half of a very small teaspoonful, while the dose of that whichis sold in large bottles is nearly wine g ass ful. In addition to Sarsaparilla contains a powerful concentration of mandrake, bur-dock, queens-delight, elder yellow dock gui- acum, undotherimportant medicaments whichare not found in any other preparation. In consequence of this unpardonable dilution, and of the imperfect modes of extracting, the noble and healthgiving Sarsaparilla has passed through many changes in the estimation of medi cal men. Properly prepared and of proper strength it ip the most, powerful agent in the world to cleanse the system from its foulest taints. This Compound is prepared on an entirely new plan, by costly and elaborate machinery, by means of which ail the delicate properties of Sarsaparilla and other ingredients are obtained in their highest degree of excellence. The inert feculent matter which enenmbers all other Sar saparilla preparation is also precluded from this Compound by the same means. One bottle of the Graefenberg Sarsaparilla will go as far as ten bottles of ordinary Sarsaparilla, and is, therefore, TEN TIMES CHEAPER Price *1.
