Tallahassee Floridian of Saturday last. It
will bo seen by the letter of Dr, Sciikven thut
the frieudsof the Savuunnb connection in Flor*
ida insist on a junction as far East as the Ala*
palia, in Hamilton County. The practicabili
ty of such a route will he better understood
by all parties when they shall be “'sufficiently
inhumed" on that subject by the Report of the
F.ngincor now in the field. If the peoplo of
Florida make good tlietr subotription of *800,•
DUO, the books for which are to be opened iu
Tallahassee this day, we have uo doubt that
line of connection will be adjusted in accord
ance with the mutual interests of the pnrties
A line so far East through a couutry that has
nothing to invite the construction of a railroad
is not the favorite line of our people. A short-
lino to connect through Thomasville with
Tallahassee, would be preferred. But the
settlement of this question depends mainly on
the action of the peoplo of Florida. Savannah
will make good her pledges whenever the con
ditions of those pledges are complied with.
In any event we hopo to see the connection
consummated, by which we will not only obtain
peedy accoss to Florida, but her people will
bo made participants iu the benefits and ad
vantages of our groat Atlantic and Gu|£Road,
which they "Will find au outlotto the Atlan
tic and Gulf ports, and by which they will be
brought in conneotion with the entire railroad

1 ho action of our late convention, however, and
above all the addresses aryourdelegutestoi^plodg-
ing that Savanuuli was in earnest iu ker deleriuiiia-
tiou to build the road, yol was prepared to do so
with some just regard to the interests of Florida, as
far as could bo indulgod without material prejudice
to hor design of tnakiug It e mein thoroughfare from
the Atlantic to tbr Gulf, were entirely satisfactory
lo the friends of the enterprise, while its opponents
wore silenced if not convinced. And the anxiety
had become general that Middle Florida should re
deem her pledsn by a handsome subucripiiou. But
uow within a fortnight of the lima fixed for opeuing
tile subscription, it comos to bo known that Savuu-
nah has her engineers, in Middle Florida it is true,
yet has confined her operations to a line that must
cripple the comtnsree of all our towns, including
the city of Tallahassee, our squt of Government—
merely to save four or five miles of distance end
eight or ten minutes of time on a line of road 40U
miles lung. Be assured then that those hostilo to
any connexion with Savannah, will handle this pro
ceodiug with great effect: end what can your frioudi
say in reply t indeed who will dare or desire u
avow themselves your frieuds lo aid in consuuiinat
ing such a work.
If the fears and surmises awakened hero at pre
sent are groundless—if Savaniiuli is still desirous of
co-operation in Florida, and prepared to secure it
on tho terms of u fair and just reciprocity,
think that no time should be lost in giving sc... u
clear and reliable assurances to thut effect, which

To Aletsrs. 11. F. Wiiitnkr, Edwaud Houston,
and other Citiient of Florida.
Gentlemen :—I this day received your commu
nication of the 18th inst., and iu accordance with
your request, inako au early, explicit aud I hope
satisfactory reply;
Our Eogiueer received uo instructions to make a
survey in Florida. Ho wus directed to run a line to
Humiltoti county. To avoid the OkefeuokeuSwauip,
he ud vised that the line should be run to tbe north-
western corner of thut county, and when uppotito
the swamp a traverse line would detorniino whether
wo could run a straight lino to a point iu Hamilton
county, uaA of tho Alnpuha. Tho terminus of tho
liuo, as run, is, I hnve been iufonned by Mr. Hol
combe, tbreo miles west of the uorth-westerii corner
of Hiiiuilton county. It is uot a fixed liuo, but mi
■".noriinental oue. Tho locution may be distant 10
20 miles from that liuo. A survey through a levol
country, like that over which the ii^ie bus been run,
C uts the Engineer in possession of all tbe necessary
iiowledge of a very coasiderablc space on both
sides of the liuo.—Swamps and Rivers alone fur
nish obstacles, aud when they are reached, it is cus
ternary to mako minute examination, for soino dis
tance ubove aud bolotv the line.
I liuvo received no report from our Engineer, but
ii satisfied from wlint he said ttf me, in conversa
tion ou this subject, that thore are no insurmount
able engineering difficulties, ill entering your State
by a more easterly lino than tboono which has been
Afior running tho line to Hamilton county, Mr.
Holcombe wua directed to run another from Bain-
bridge, in Docatur county, to the Altamahu, but from
a rccouuoisance mude of lliecountry, certain engi
neering difficulties induced him to recommend a
slight change of route, and whilst wuitiog instruc
tions from me, having readied the Florida line, to
ketp the party employed, he assumed the responsi
bility of making the survoy altudod to in your let-
tor. Tho survey reached the lake Mickasukoc,
where it was stopped by Mr. Holcombe, uudor in
structions from me, oxprossiye of uiy disapproba
tive McGohnu, of your Slate, will give evi
dence of my intentions ou this subject. Wheu asked
by him whether 1 designed lo run a lino iu Florida,
1 answered in the negative, and gave him satisfacto
ry reusons therefor.
1 hopo I have written onougli concerning tho sur
vey to ulluy the fears that liuvo been nwukcued by
the unfortunate employment of the corps in an us-
■MikeriteJ ieorlc. 1 will now proceed to state, that
doTogaU's at til el aTe* tfo nV £ uWii" fn m rMlWMCJ}^
Shots in earnest in hor determination to build tho
road with u duo regard to the interests of Florida,
and is ardently desirous of co-operation in Florida,
ud prepared to rcceivo it on Iho terras of a just
nd lair reciprocity. She has no preferred route iu
your Stale, because she is not sufficiently informed
to determino that question, and she is not disposed
to dictate one.
Mr. Holcombe would, under my instructions, most
cheerfully have complied with your request to run n
Hue, had no received your application in time, but
the corps are now well on tueir wuy to tho Allama-
ha, and too fur to return.
For four that tho line now being run, may give riso
to suspicion iu Fioridaof tbo good fuilli of Savannah,
I bog leuvo to state that if Florida does uot furnish
the proper evidence of a cordial desire to co-ope-
ram with Savannah by iiiakiur the promised sub
scription, that liue, viz., to the Junction of the Flint
and Chattahoochee, will probably he udoplnd.
1 liavo tho honor to be, most truly unu respect
fully, your obedient serviuit,

The Backwoodsman’s Fight with a Wolf.
4 W.,’ tho agroeablo correspondent of the Journal
of Commerce communicates from 4 along the Krio
Railroad' tho following sketch of s fight with a
wolf, and how the backwoodsiuau told tho story:
I was standing at the window, looking out at tho
rushing river. Dark, wild and furious was the
flow of (be torrent in the upper part of the basin,
and the glassy pool which last evening reflected
the mountains and the eky so clearly, waenow black
and gloomy, and flecked with yoUow foam. One
of tho ladies of our party stunding' noar ine was
langhiug at a teninrk of Joe Willis's, while a group
oflhreo or four wore discussing the preparation of
some tableaux and charades. At the moment some
person culled out to me for a story, to kill time while
the charades worn iu process of preparation, ami as
1 turned to reply to the call, 1 caught sight of n
woodman stunding outtido the door, and looking in
on the group with open countouauce.
He was a tsll, gaunt inau, at least six feet two in
height, aud remarkably slender. He was lemiiug
against the door-post, and his font wero a yard from
it, so that ho leaned like a rail in a slauting posi
tion, his sbouldor nguiust thn casing, as if h» meant
either to hold it up or push it down. His long
neck and head were inside the door, and Ills staro
was expressive of vacant wonderment.
But there was lifu iu his bluo eye, and a devil
lurking there which you noticed tho moment-you
•law him. It hud already attracted the aueiiliou of
Miss , who sat alone ueur the window, looking
steadily on the atrango faco that was so earnest iu
its gaze.
Tho instant I saw biiu 1 sprang forward : * Why
Joo—Joe Willis—here is Smith. Smith, my dear
follow, where did you comofrom! 1 thought you
Was underground leu yenrs ago.’
* Not so bud as that, sir—glad to see you, though.
How do you do, air—glad ouough to see you, *pon
my word, sir. 1 declare, Mr. W , if I’d a’known
you wus was up here, I’d a boon up lust night.—
Queer times here now adays. Who’s ull those
folks.’
4 Friends of uiiue, Smith ; come in and I’ll intro
duce you.*
1 Guess ! may ns well; queer too ; han’t spoke to
a woman siuce 1 wus a boy; but here goes. Trot
'em out, now.'
And my old friend stalked into the parlor
an unstudied carolessless thut would have made ills
fortuno in a city assembly room.
* Ladies, my old friend, Joshua Smith ; 1 beg to
presont him to your favorable notice. He used to
bo tho best shot ou the river, the keenest hunter,
tho best fouled fellow, and the truest frieud. I
think I urn safo iu answoriug fur him uow as un
changed.'
4 Why, Mr. W—, you aro presenting a perfect
treasure,’ exclaimed Miss ——, running up and
soi/.ing Joshua's hand kindly iiud cordially. But
Joshua shook all ovor us the really beautiful girl
(she will not see this) look his hand, and blushing
from bis toes up to his crown, a regular six foot
blush, Imckud fairly out of tho door. Be; Miss —
was not to bo heutuo iu tliut wuy, uud by dint of
bright eycc and winning wuys, she coaxed him into
coruer, uud while tho rest relapsed into their for-
ter employment*, she engaged him iu conversation.
Ten minutes might have passed wheu a lull occur
red, and Joe Willis took udvuntugo of it to liA his
baud and impose silence, while ho pointed toward
tho corner whero Joshua sut, with his back to us,
talking at the black eyes of his captor. So we lis-
*-“ed.
And you see, Miss, 1 wa’nt going lo bn fooled
how, (this wus tho first seuteuco we oaught,)
d so 1 crawled along the stream to where you
thn tall hemlock that leans over tho river. Just
thore 1 hud seen a motion in the bushes, and I kind
o' thought that the paiotor was iu there, but I wa’nt
way
1 sueaked up among the bushes and looked
into tbe cover, but 1 couldu't seo nothing, so I laid
down flat, and dragged myself, snake-fashion, into
tho hollow over thn other side there. You can sen
a maple just above it. out there. Well, I hadn’t
gone ten yards when I lieered a kind of a snarl and
kind of a yowl, and there ho wus ; a grny wolf,
HO or the regular (tort, with a young oue aloug side
of her. Wasn't 1 sheared 1 1 reckon I was, some.
I was skeered ull over ; but was worse iu my legs
than anywhere else, for they wus cuught iu a bunch
of brims, and 1 couldn't stir’em without scratching
horrid bad. But it was scratch head or scratch legs
then, 1 tell you ; and 1 left my trnwscr legs in the
butlics, wheu 1 jumped ut her. She was a littlo too
soon for me, though, mid I felt her teeth going
through aud through the gristle about my elbow ; so,
as you may suppose, I had only one arm left for
much use, hut 1 was working tlrlndcring hard with
that. I’d dropped my rifle at tho start, uud I had to
trust to tho knife or nothing. 8o we wont ut it. 1
don’t know how I munnged the next two minutes.
We rolled over and ovor on the ground, aud 1 never
felt htr tooth, though bar claws nude snmo rags out
ffwaTirml^Bm Iwus nigh giviug on it ui>. nnfi us
knocking under and let her chaw me, when Mr.
Willis and Mr. YV came toaring down through
the bush, and I felt strong uguiu tho miuuto I seen
them. It was u mighty closo shot, too, for I felt the
wind of tho ball. 1 was lying ou tbit- side stretched
out kind o' so, (and ho illustrutod here by a queer
twist of his long body,) and 1 had the wolf by the
throat with my right hand, und 1 was tryiug to got
oil to him with my body, but ho was pulling and
hauling like sin, und making tlio feathers fly out of
at every scratch, when Mr. W shot, right
ir my head. So wo scon ho wa’ut moro'n ten
yards off, but it wus such a rough and tumble fight
that ho hadn’t uo busioosa risking such u shot as
that. What if he’d a hit mo then ? 'Twould u'blow-
ed my brains out certain.'
4 But, Mr. Smith, if he had not shot tbe wolf, tlio
wolf would have ‘chawed’ you.'
• Chawed V That sounds kind o'queer. Don’t
know us I ever hcerd u woman say 4 chaw' before.
For ho didn’t hit tho wolf at all. Tbo bul
let wont into ihe ground leu foot off'. ’Twunt the
tiling, that shot, no how.’
but it wus, though, Joshua. For it scared
the wolficu feet apart from eucli other, iu
Die next second.’
1 Oh, you're a listening, are you T Well, listen
ers doirt bear no good of themselves. Scare m»
and the wolf I Didn’t scare neither of ur. Too
good pluck in us. We only backed off for breath
and uuother round.'
Likoly story I prtthavs you recollect your left
i was iu a had fix, aud 1 think the wolf knew it;
by the way she licked her lips, und worked at you
fur about ten seconds ; and your knife, old fellow-
how happened your ituifo-ilown iu the hollow, two
roils offr
I’d throwd the knife away for a fair fight: yot>,
I had. My blood was up, aud 1 was ’
‘Come, conic, Joshua, my hoy, if dm next hall had
not bothered the wolf, and Joe Willis's knife nnd
good stout arm taken the fight off your hands, I'd
like to know what chance you think there would
have been that you would bless your eyoa to-day
with looking at thn faco of Alls* , oh, Joshua ?'
‘ Wall/ suid Joshua, strctchiug his long legs
his heels, buried iu tho carpet, seemed half '
across the room, und looking around at mo wi
piizzical expression, 4 Wail—1 don't know. 8ome
things are blessiugs to some folks that ain’t bless-
iugs to otliers. 4
' Why, Mr. Smith I’ exclaimed tbe lady.
4 No offcuco, ma’am. It does me good to look at
you; 1 haiu't seen sich sence—senee— do you know
now—1 had my bringing up down East. 1 only
came out here when 1 was about two-thirds growed.
It is pleasant, anyhow, to see you,’
4 But the wolftY*/. Smith.’
4 Ask Mr. VVt-He’s took the story out of my
mouth.’ And Joshuu wui unapproachable after thut;
listening, but sileut. So I finished his histoiy.
4 Willis and myself were just In time. Smith was
fighting well, but the wolf had Lurt bis arm, and in
his eagerness for u choking grasp, he had forgotlon
*~ hold his knife, dropped it, aud they had rolled
r out of reach 6f it. 1 think u half a second
would have ssttlod Joshua. So 1 shot, intending
only to frigliteu the wolf from tlio deliberate mouth
ful in Joshuu’a shoulder which seemed inevitable,
and it effected the purpose. Thoy separated for au
instant, und 1 gave her the second bull inside the
shoulder, hoping to reach the heart. It was a littlo
out of the way; too close for good aim. But tho
ball did scrvico, nnd disabled oue leg. Then Willis
was ou her with his kuile before sho had recovered
from the stunning effect of the bullet, and Joe had
always a knuck of putting a knife io tho right
place.
‘Joshua didn’t use his left nrm for a week or two
after that. How loug was It, Joshua t*

A few M|innlsh Facts,
Like a camp follower, Spain lugs fjoiiind the
march of progress, yet is on tbe march. From a
German work on the present condition of tbo Pcu-
iuaula, we guther n few interesting facts.
No census lias been taken of the 8paui»h popula
tion since 1788. Then, tho population was ten and
a half millions ; now it is computed by our author
to «e about thirteen millions—seventy to the square
mile. Of this number, ona million two hundred and
twenty one thousand cut read aud write ; six hun
dred tliousuud more can read, but oot write—“ a
low proportion, which the government is now try
lug to raise." There are leu uuivertilies in Spaiu,
ten normal schools, twenty-eight normal elementary
schools, seventeen thousand boys’ schools, fivo thou
sand girls’schools, two hundred aud ninety-seveu
iufani schools ; aud tbe whole uuiuber of pupils in
all of these is eight hundred aud sixty-nine thou
sand. The system of education is founded on that
of the French. A property qualification alone en
titles a man to a vole ] but, only half as much prop
erty confers the privilege of voting on an artist, a
doctor, u lawyer, a teacher, or a servant of the
State, ns is required lo quality any other person# I
Tho proportion of illegitimate to legitimate births
is, iu Madrid, cne to four : in the country generally,
io tothirty-fivo.
In 1850, there were thirty-two thousand eix hun
dred persons in the Spanish prisons and galleys, of
whom nearly throe thousand were women. The
prisons arc generally not well conducted; hut there
are a few which are worthy to be model establish-
incuts, ow ing to the humane exertions, of a Spanish
Howard, by the name of Montesinos. Ouo great
obstacle to improvement in Spain, is the diversity of
tho local customs, and the jrndous tenacity with
which the people cling to thorn. For example, the
government has for some time been endeavoriug to
make the weights and measures uuiforu throughout
lha couutry i but so far, with Utilo sueoess. The
Museum of Art uud MauufHcture. at Madrid con-
luius specimens of all the measures used in the va
rious districts i jars, cuus, bottles, canisters, pip
kins with long necks aud frith short, slender and
uot-bellied, great and small. In some places, there
is no fixed measures at ail i and in gauging quanti
ties they go by iho advico* Of export farmers, or by
rough estimates. Tho measures for wheat aro of
overy kind of shape; not only do tboso in the town
differ front those in tbo country, hut also iu some
communes os many as two or three dissimilar wheat
measures are used indiscriminately. Many families
possess peculiar measures of their own, which pass
current with the rest In sales aud purchases iu open
market. And to all tbeso measures, the people per
sist in adhering.
The army or Spain consists of ouo hundred nnd
one tliousuud men, aud the annual expouse of main
mining it is little moro than five millions of do!,
lara—fifty dollars n limn. The navy consists of
about sixty vessels, of which twenty-two are steam
ers. Thu industry of the nation is “ protected" by
a high tariff, nnd consequently it is “visibly impro
ving;" yet Spain does uot yet produce moro than
one-third of tho manufactured articles required for
hor annual consumption. The pressing wants of
Spain are good roads, canals for trnflla and irri,
gallon, aud tbe removal of obstructions from the
beds of rivers. The mountainous surface of tho
couutry, places an obstacle iu tho way of an ox-
teusive railway system, which will nrohably remain
long insurpcable. A vust emigration of Spaniards
to Algeria haa been going on fur some time,
l’poll tlio whole, as wo nKve hinted above, Spain
is slowly waking up fVoin the lethargy of conturics,
aud may be expected to urriyo at thn Good Time
Coming, some tirao after the rest of tho world has
become use to it.
natbloR, Its uso nnd nbnse
The seasou having now arrived wheu “ tho glassy,
eool, translucent wave” invites us to lake a dip, a
few bints to tbe inexporlen«e4 bather may he service
able. Tbe manucr of bathing (say# Sir Arthur
Clurkc), though n point of, tho first iinporlunco,
seems by most pooplu to be thought of uo conse
quence at all; but, let the offset of bathing bo con
sidered, and this indifference will appeur in a strong
light. By the compression of tho wliolo external
surface of tbe body, which takes place on judicious
immersion, the blood is carried on with increased
force to the heart, and returned by thn reaction with
proportional impulse. By this mcreasedaction and
velocity the capillaries nre oponod, iho sluggish and
tenacious humors loosened, aud the whole system
is invigorated ; but all this depends upon total and
instant immersion. To suppose that stepping iuto a
bath, or wolting- the body by parts, will produce
those effects, is an absurdity. Everything beyond
a single pi«:n*r is preventive of benofit. By continu
ing in tlio bulb the body is robbed of its natu:al
heat, reaction prevented ; the vessels collapse, ami
transpiration by tho natural chaauel of iho pores
is suspended ; obstructions aro confirmed aud para
lysis is frequently induced. To leap from a height
into tho water is injurious. Au easy and nearly
horizontal position is tho best for the moment of
immersion ; and tho proper time for bathing is
when the natural iucmiuliou Ij the strongest; and
this, generally spoaking, will be after considerable
exercise, but short of producing smieiblo perspira
tion or fatigue. Nothing cau bo tnoro injurious
than lingering on the margin of the flood till Ihe
sluguatiiig fluids refuse to obey even iho spur of im
mersion, The bath should be used only onco every
day. With regard lo the exercise of swimming, it
should be of modciaio duration ; when long continu
ed, it has in uumhcrless instances, occasioned the
loss of the use of limbs, nnd not uufrcqueuily proved
fatal. Sir Arthur Clarke sooms conscious of tread
ing on slippery ground when he advisos tho iadics
to dispense with dresses while bathing. All incum-
beriug dross, lie auys, not only injures tho primary
influexce, but, by clinging to the person, checks the
glow which should bo felt on comiug out of the hath,
aud iu weak constitutions often totally prevents it.
Bees at War.
Ezra Dibble, a well-known citizen of this
town, and for many yeara extensively engaged
in the management of bcea, communicates to
us the following interesting particulars of a
battle among his bees :
Ho lias seventy swarms of bees, about
iquaUy divided oil tlio east and west sides oi
his house. Ou Sunday, Aug. 14, about three
o'clock, the weather being warm, nnd the win
dows open, his house was suddenly filled with
bees, which forced the family to flee at once to
the neighbors. Mr. D. niter getting well pro
tected against his assailants, proceeded to take
a survey, and, if possible, learn the cause
which had disturbed them. Tho seventy
swarms appeared to ho put, and those on one
side of tlio house wcio arrayed in battle against
those ou the other side; nnd such a bat
tle was perhaps nover before witnessed.—
They filled the air, cover}ng tho spaco of moro
tliai^one acre of ground, and fought desperately
bulfor conquest; and while at war no living
thing could exist in the vicinity. They stunc
3 large flock ol Shanghai chickens, iKurly all
of which died, and persons passing along the
roadside w. ro obliged to make haste to avoid
their sting. A little alter six o'clock quiet
was restored, and the living bees returned to
thoir hives, leaving the slain almost literally
covering the ground, since which but few have
appeared around the hives, and thoseapparent-
ly stationed as seutinels to watch iho enemy.
But two young swarms wore entirely destroy
ed, and aside from tho terrible slaughter of
bees no other injury was done. Neither party
was victorious, und they only ceased on the
approach of night, and from utter prostration.
The occasion of this strange warring among
tho hoes is not eusily accounted for ; and those
most conversant with their management never
before witnessed or heard of such a spectacle
as here narrated.—Conneaulf Ohio) Reporter.
