v - acquired any higher distinction than these latter
v i States, can only be explained by the foot that she has
had greater poets to celebrate her. Were we to credit
the exaggerated statements which have been circu-
\ lated respecting the rooaqnitoes of the oountry, we
would Infer that the atmosphere of the whole ponin-
n.» ^' •wla'was - freighted with this inseot, and that It was
. ; , Impossible any inhere within tho boundary of East
__ Florida to enjoy one hour’ll reposo if not ensconced
. Within tho walls of a mosquito bar. The troth of tho
matter is, that there are in East Florida, as there ate
In Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and in
.... abort, in every State of the Union, certain localities
in which mosquitoes abound, anu these are, for the
mate part, in tue vicinity of the salt marshes along
tMKaat and near the swamps and watercourses o
the interior: bat the dry oak and pine lands, which
. form tho bans of East Florida, are as free from mos
quitoes as are similar soils in any of the othwffltates.
Hod our troops passed seven summers in tefltt near
the salt marshes of Maryland, as thoy did near those
on the ooast of Florida, they would have found the
mosquitoes as troublesome in the former as they havo
• proved in the Utter country; but it would bo very
* unfair to proclaim, on this account that mosquitoes
were much more abundant in Maryland than they
were In Virginia or in any other Southern State in
which the matter had not been tested by similar ex
posures. Yet such was tho standard by which East
Meoi an?mut$nnore abundant in Florida than they
are in the Northern and Middle States; but they are
' not more so than in tho Bandy districts of Georgia,
Alabama, and other Southern States.
' Jlotue-kiu are by no means so numerous in East
Florida as they are in the Northern and Middle States,
which is probably owing to the extensive influence of
the sea breezes, as the same is true of Cuba and other
West India islands.
Alligators abound in the rivers, lakes, and ponds of
tho country, and are probably more numerous than
Sit any of the other Southern States.
jjaat Florida has a due proportion of tea/cr-snakes;
but there U perhaps no State in the Union in which
snakes of eveiy other description are so scarce. Tills
fact is attributable to the general absence of rocks
and stones in the peninsula, and to the sweeping fires
which pervade the grassy woods every fall to an Ira*
. mense extent, and which must necessarily destroy
every snake that comes within their range.
The sketch which I have given of East Florida In
these communications will no doubt surprise many or
tboee, whose Ideas of the country have been derived
from tbe misrepresentations which were so exten-
nlvely spread at the commencement of the war, when
tlie peninsula bad been but partially visited, and
scarcely at all understood. To generalize from insuf
ficient data is a common error, and never was it more
forcibly illustrated than in the case of East Florida,
whose whole character was so nnrescrvcdly denounc
ed hy those who had bnt the first glimpse of her fea
tures. It is not surprising that men who had been
anbjectod to severe hardships and privations should
have viewed through an unfavorable medium the
country which was the scene of their sufferings; and
hence we find that it was from the partial evils that
were encountered by her first explorers that the gen
eral character of East Florida was portrayed.
It was natural enough that men whose duty com
pelled them to march for tho most part through
swamps and morasses, should have stigmatized tho
roads of East Florida os the worst in tho world.
Others, whoso hardships, privations and exposures
in certain unhealthy positions were tho causes of dis
ease, regarded the whole of this new country as
“ pestilential,” and represented it as such in tho pub-
°'Aey who chanced to be stationed near tho Bait-
marshes and swamps on the coast, and who hod no
houses to protect them, concluded, of course, that
East Florida was, par excellence, tho land of mosqui
toes.
It frequently happened, on marches, that the troops
were obliged to drink from " alligator ponda covered
with a rich green scum,” and from this circqmstauce
tho water or the whole peninsula was characterized.
Those who were unacquainted with the fact that
tho sandy Hoils of East Florida contain, very general
ly, a large intermixture of shell and marl, considered
them no better than the sand barrens of the more
Northern States, and, consequently, proclaimed that
the lands of the peninsula were not " worth, tho cost
of conquering them.”
. Thus it was, from partial evils and superficial ob
servations, that tbe first impressions of East Florida
were derived, and her whole character portrayed.
It is a common remark that " East Florida is the
best country in the world tor a poor man.” and tho
truth of this is not denied even by those whose preju
dices are strongest against the country, and who
know little or nothing of its resources. Indeed, it is
impossible for any one who visits the settlements,
and witnesses the abundance, ease, comfort, and even
luxury, in which the poorer classes of inhabitants
can Jive, not to bo forcibly struck with tho truth of
ihlB observation. There are but few industrious men
. in the peninsula so poor as not to have abundaoco of
com, vegetables, and fruits, which cost them but lit
tle labor,and plenty of cattle,hogs and poultry .which
multiply without expense. Tboy havo, with but lit
tle exertion, more venison, turkeys, and other game,
than their families can consume; and there 1b scarce
ly a neighborhood in the peninsula in which fish and
turtle are not within a convenient distance. They
have, besides, thoir "sugar patch” and their "cot
ton patch,” the former or which supplies them abun
dantly with sngar and molasses throughout the year,
and toe latter with nearly all the clothing which they
require in so mild a climate.
It Is scarcely necessary to remark that a country
which all will admit is so good for the poor man, can
not be bad for the rich roan; the soil which so readi
ly yields a good support to the one, will as readily
yield a good profit to the other. There is certainly
no country in the United States where the planter can
turn his capital to such good account as he can at this
time in East Florida; nor is there any country in tho
world where he can live more luxuriously. He has
here within his reach all tho luxuries of the tropics
united to those or northern latitudes, and both or these
ho con enjoy In a climate which is itself a luxury.

Tho climate of South Florida and the adjacent Keys,
jthor
S r or temperature ana ror its neaim-restonng and
fo-preserving qualities ; but it may not be as gener
ally known or conceived that this region is suscepti
ble of producing, to an almost Indefinite extent, va
rious productions and articles of commercial value
and ot limitless demand, and which would largely
augment the national wealth and administer to the
comfort and support of man. I will briefly notice
some of them.
The facilities tot salt-making,by solar evaporation,
uro embraced to a very limited extent Salt Is an ar
ticle of prime necessity—of universal domestic use,
and upon the qaaiity dopends the preservation of
fish, flesh and so forth, ana also the public health.—
There la no commercial nation that Is so regardless,
article.. .
You thus see that the best of salt is made here,
that the quantity made "hereabouts” can be in*
creaked indefinitely, and that the salt-making busi
ness can be made very lucrative if skilfully and ju
diciously managed*
The south portion of the peninsular of Florida,from
Tampa Bay on the West Ooast. and the month of tbe
St. John’s Hirer on tbe East Ooast, now so distin*
guisbedfor Marine disasters, swamps and Indians, is
really thk region of the Sooth, peonllariy susceptible
of modootog the moet varied ana valuable productions.
It 1st region of perpetual flowers—the climate al*
way! genial and healthful, tbe vegetation continuous
andnnoeksfag, and where the tropical fruits grow
andripen In we greatest perfection. Here also the
sugar cane grows foh, graft highland .tee, when
planted on the poprestlaads, and the season for ita
growth Is tiro months longer than fa Louisiana j-no
frost to compel the planter to out and bouse or win
now the cane, as have to bo done fa Louisiana to pre-
want JU freezing. Here tho crop can stand fa the
field till the planter is ready to cat and grind ftt and
I can see no reason why this portion of the penfasu*
far of Florida mnst not, eventually, have sugar ita

ho process of
grinding and washing, its production would bo cheap
ened, and as tho demand for starch for manufacturing
and domestic purposes is almost limitless, tho supply
can bo Inexhaustible from these barren regions of
South Florida, and thus a living business and tho
most healthfol homo bo provided for invalids, who
havo not tho means of living hero without remunera
tive employment.
Different species of agave, or great American aloo,
have been introduced andgrown abundantly in South
Florida. This plant was indispensable to tho ancient
Aztecs, and is still so to the modern Mexicans.—
Threo kinds only have boon introduced here, tho
agave sisalana, from which the sisal hemp of com
merce is made, the agave Mexicana, from which the
Intoxicating drink (pulque) of aucleut and modem
Mexico is rondo, and the agave Americana. All have
’ long succulent leaves, and a very Btroug fibre. Wo
import over a million of dollars worth of this fibre,
annually, as it makes tho host of cordage, cotton,
bagging, gunny bags, Ac. These plants not only
grow wild on the Keys, but on the main land, as far
north &r Tampa Bay and Indian River. At the North,
this plant is carefully cultivated in greenhouses, and
called tho "centuiy plant,” from the erroneous im-
presslpn that it blossoms only once In a hundred
yearn: and well can I remember the exhibition in
New York of the centnry plant in blossom, taken
from the green lionsc of the patroon at Albany; but
this plant goes to seed in Mexico in three years, and
on tills island, where It is planted for hedges and
foncos, It blossoms in five to eight years, accordinf
to the rapidity of ita growth. Nature has provide*
for the reproduction or this plant by its own agency;
tho lateral roots that are near tho snrfaco Bond up nu
merous new ones, and theso in tnrn the same, there
by ensnring a rapid reproduction without the agency
of man. That sisal hemp can bo made in South
Florida, and on theqe Keys, where this plant grows
spontaneously and abundantly, and that tho business
of making it, with the nee of a little Yankee ma
chinery, can be mado more profitable than cotton-
growing, I havo no doubt.
Thus you see that thla " badly-booted extremity of
the Union,” now in nearly tho same wilderness state
it was thirty years ago, and with a climate the most
life-preserving and health-restoring in the world, is
suscoptiblo or producing, to an almost indefinite ex
tent, various articles of great commercial value, and
always in demand, which would largely augment tho
national wealth, and administerto the comfort, con
venience, and Bupport of men. Otsego.

Heads of the World—A. D. 1803.
At present, in this year or our Lord 1853, there are
eighty-three sovereigns of Republics. Empires, Mon
archies, Principalities, Dnchlea and Electorates. Of
theso, the number of governing Presidents la 18, all
of which, ontaide of tho United States’ Presidency,
are Central aud South American offices, with the ex
ception of Liberia. There are six Emperors, includ
ing his sable highness, Faustia the First; sixteen
Kings, counting as one of tho " heads of the world”.
Jatnaoo, or Robert Charles Frederic Sambo Ouashee,
King of all tho Mosquitoes, aud recognized ally of
Great Britain. The coronation of this monarch was
celebrated in " undying verse” at tho period of that
dark affair. His Majesty was thus Bketchod by ills
Laureate:
“ Lo! the King Invitee attention—
IDs majretio statist coat,
Glowing o’er his scanty check shirt,
Tightly buttonod to tho throat,
Though hia legs reject the trousor.
And or boots he wears but ono,
Still, Is his the kingly figure,
That I lore to look upon.
Now, see how be. smiles around him,
Casting perfume ou tho air,
As he runs, like Broadway dandy,
His blost Angers through Ills hair!'
Under this head, also, come the Kings of Dahomey
and the Bandwich Islands. Of reigning Princes there
are ten; Grand Dukes seven; Dukes ten—all of
which are petty German BtateB, and nearly all of
which are very inisgniftcant. Under this bead, also,
comes one Elector and one Landgrave. Of Queens
wo havo fivo, iucluding Ranavalona, of Madagascar,
Pomare, of tho Society Islands, aud others scarcely
more civilized. Though very widely known as defend
ers of God’s Word on earth, Ac., we havo one Pope,
two Sultans, those of Borneo and Turkey; two Gov
ernors—of Entre Rios and Corlontes; ono Viceroy of
Egypt, ono Shah, Persia, ono Ameer, Cabal, and one
Director fslnce when) of Nicaragua. Tho following
list is evidently from an English " authority,” as it
leaves out tho viceroyalty of Ireland—which, how
ever, wohld be well If it could bo so used in reality—
and puts In Nicaragua as under a “ Director,” and
one of tbe " heads of the world.” What’s Chatfleld—

Florida* ‘
Wo to-day ooneludo the publication of Dr, Byani’s.
series pf letters npon tho " Climate, Bolls and Pro
ductions of Florida.” Ws have omitted quit* a num
ber of paragraphs—Indeed one whole letter—as not
bearing directly upon tho ohjeot which we have in
viow. To the series we append a lata communica
tion, taken from the New York Tribune, which will
be found of interest.
Our especial purpose in publishing these letters 1b
to give to oqr readers some intelligence fa relation to
a region of Immense extent, nearly the whole of
which we hope to see, at no remote day. connected
by railroads, and bound by interest, as well as kind
feeling, with the city of Bavannab. He who reads
them will rise from their perusal better prepared to
appreciate the • importance of this connection.—
Whether their author has not given us a picture too
highly colored we are not prepared to say. He frank
ly admits that his statements are not in accordance
with accounts long current In relation to the name
section. This, of course, should prepare the reader
to receivo them with caution. That the writer is
Incapable of wilful deception wo do not doubt. He
Is still Surgeon In the United States Army, and, we
understand, a gentleman of high character. Station
ed for seven years in Florida, hia means of Inlorma
tlon, both from observation and inquiry, ought to
havo been very good. .
These letters will doubtless bo of Interest to those
of our subscribers who think or immigrating to a
" now country ’’—though it was not for thoir benefit
that wo havo published them—much less was it to
awaken a desire of removal in tho minds of any who
are contented with their present abodes. To all who
have homes wo would say " better stay whore you
are.” Tho fond associations of youth or of riper
years, aceues dear because familiar, friends la whom
you confide—the very trees which you have planted
and nurtured-these you cannot carry with you.—
Back to them, from tho farthest distaut country and
at the remotest future of being, the mind will revert
with a yearning whoso sadness is unspeakAble.
But somo have no homes—or ore determined to
leave them for freshor fields of effort and enterprise—
to such Florida offers attractions greater, wo sup
pose, than the regions west of the Chattahoocheo or
Mississippi. At any rate if it be not entirely unlike
tho picture which Dr. Byiixb has drawn for us, it
most, with the construction of its projected Internal
Improvements, bccomo the seat of ton-fold its pres
ent wealth and population. At that day, even the
dullest among us will be able to appreciate the value
to Savannah of the Railroad connection which we
now so earnestly advocate.
Whig Gubernatorial Candidate.
Tho very respectable gentleman, laHt Wednesday,
nominated as the Whig- Union-Conservative (it takes
at least three names to cope with " Dbmoqraoy,”)
candidate for the office of Governor or Georgia, was
last fall a candidate for the office of Vice President
of the United States. But it ao happened, not how-
over, wo presume, from any want of merit on his
part, that in that taco he obtained no electoral votes.
His own political friends made him tho subject of
thoir wit and humorous sarcasms. A single speci
men of tho lampoons with which ho was visited, we
clipped, at tho time, from the Washington Republic,
a leading Whig paper, into which it was copied from
the New Bedford Mercury, another Whig popor. Wo
givo it below, simply remarking, that it is too bad
that Whigs should thus "make sport” of ouo an
other :
“Jkxkins.—Down In th*8tata of G#orjtf» liras Jenkins—a
porsonsge m mysterious ts the Grand Lama, the Wander-
ing Jew. or the Iron Mask. The birth, parentage, and edu
cation of Jenkins,are unsolvod mysteries. Itisouly known
that somewhere among tho cotton-Aetds of tho thriving
8t*to of Georgia dwells, In awful state, tbe man called Jen
kins, bolding in the hollow of his hand the entire Whig
party of that firery commonwealth, from Fighting Town
Creek to the sources of Ocllla, and from Savannah to Co
lumbus. The AIntamaha hears bis terrible voice and U
seltod with a low stage of water—the Flint as it rolls on
ward toward the Gulf U more Axed In Ua bed than ever.—
In fact. Jenkins is a name to conjure with—yet Jenkins has
been hitherto unknown out of Georgia. But now the fume
of Jenkins is spreading and bocomlng national. Jenkins is
destined to save the Union, and being assigned to tho special
work, the patrons of tbs Union, the men who trade in sav
ing it from the people at large, are sounding the praises of
Jenkins. Ills name first eomos to us by lightning to the
sound of muttering thnndor. We are startled by tele-
graphic assurance that Jenkins will not allow Georgia to
vote for Scott, and that the Whigs of Georgia do exactly as
Jenkins says. An awful pause ensues, and we find Jenkins
S itched on as the Georgia bolting candidate for her Prcsi-
ent. Finally, at one of these awful meetings, wherein that
eminent teacher of young ladies, the Rev. Mr. Winslow,
bolds forth, with length wholly out of proportion to
strength, it is announced by somebody that Jenkins is as
great a man as Webster, only not so well known. The bolt
ers of Boston respond to tbe bolters of Georgia, and make
Jenkins their candidate for Vice President. Slim arts the
chances of Jenkins for vice President, Ills vote will be
small in Georgia, and hardly perceptlbio in Massachusetts.
The electoral ticket got up for him in tills State will be no
where on election day. It is even doubted whether half the
names on it are not fictitious. But Jenkins will be run,
and Ue will acquire an ephemeral reputation among a few
men who tako bolting newspapers."

Kky Wibt, June 22.1863.
Since tho departure of tho steamer of tbe 8tb, but little
of interest to tha commercial world has occurred In this
vicinity. Wo have had a delugo of rain—more water has
fallen the past fortnight than Tor the whole previous year,
but thore being no crops in jeopardy save the “ reef crops,"
little damage has been sustained. Wo have for tho sum
mer's use an abundant supply of water—the tanks and cis
terns are all full—and vessels now calling for water can bs
supptied to any extent. To-day the weather has cleared
up, and the trade winds have set in, giving us a delicious
temperature, a clear sky, and healthy, invigorating atmos
phere. The thermometer now ranges from 76 to 88, and
the warmest days of the summer are considered over in
June. May is here the hottest month of the year; Juno
the wettest; July and August have many calm days, the
kind or weather always preceding hurricanes, which occur
in August, September, and sometimes as late as the middle
of October. The last three years tho hurricanes hav# oc
curred on tho 22d of August. Tho gale of *44 was on the
4tli of October; that of ’40—the most fearful and destrue-
tlvo storm known—occurred on the 11th October. Hurri
canes have been known to occur as early aa tlie 16th of
July, but we here consider tho hurricane months to begin
in August and end in Octobor. Having had no destructive
gale sinco 1846, we very much fear that we shall not be so
fortunate as to escape this season.
The British ship Lucy, Hazleton, has finished loading, and

when In a gale her masts were cutaway; thus crippled,
she arrived in tho harbor on tbe 26th of tho same mouth-
was discharged, repaired, rigged anew, remained in port five
days, at an expense of $82,000, including salvage. This ship
and oavgo was saved from total losa by tho faithful, well

when the warm iffe will oeaao to career through our

of graves, and worms, and epitaphs.”
We love to seo a grave yard look as if those reatlni
within it were not forgotten by those whom they lovei
In life. We love to seo tho green graves tended by
the soft hand of undying affection, and to see the
flowers or fond remembrance growing upon them.—
It speaks well to see|the grave-yard exhibit inch to
kens,—it speaks of respectfor tbolostones.of a kind
ly affection, or a love beyond the tomb. It matters
not for cottly mountains, or high sounding epitaphs.
A plain tombstone can say much, and a line tell all
is nocessary. Let there only be emblems of affection
around them—" rosemary for remembrance.” Let
thorn seem to ba regarded with affection, os contain
ing " things of tho heart.” Let not tho clods which
cover the coffin bury tlie remembrance of tbe cold
form within. Let not tlie flowery feelings of life steal
away all thoughts for tho dead.
wo wore much pleased, on a recent visit to onr
City Cemetery, to notice how very generally tho
tombs exhibit such evidences of affectionate remem
brance. There wore very many of them which were
beautifully decorated with flowers and shrubbery,
and some npon which fresh garlands lmd been recent
ly strewn. Thore were few, indeed, which appeared
entirely neglected. But some there were of theso,
which looked dismal, and cold, aud utterly forgotten.
Perhaps there is uono left to plant a Uowor upon their
craves, hut per haps theso doad ones are not remem
bered by tbo liviug. Wo would prefer even to think
tho former supposition to be correct. That would ut
least imply no neglect. Tlint would flhlld them from
the tho thought that they have less affection than tlie
savage; for it is said that even the wild Iudiun of tlie
west never forgets tho comb of hia fathers, and often
goes hundreds of miles through tho trackless woods
to look with filial respect and love upon their grav
There ia but one moral which cau no learned frt
» visit to tho grave-yard* It is the certainty of Death.
Daily is some father, mother, sister, brother, child,
consigned to the narrow bed. Daily is some voice
that mado melody in the home circle stilled: some
warm hand cold and lifeless.
"Tlie battle of our life Is briof!
Tlie alarm. Ilia stuggle tbo relief!
Thou sleep wo slilo by side."
But there is uot that calamity in death which tho
human heart often finds in it. The dead carry with
them no memories to disturb their reposo. They find
that rest, perhaps, for which they bo much longed in
life.
'* They quiet lie anil sweetly sleep,

Later A-oin Buenos Ayres.
, Boston, June 20.
The bark Argentine, from Montevideo, Moy 1, ar
rived ut Salem yesterday afternoon, brluging later
advices from Buenos Ayres.
Commander Coo, of Unjaiza's squadron, had noti
fied the Foreign Ministers and Commanders of vessels
of war. that lie should blockade tho port of Buenos
Ayres immediately, allowing vessels in tho inner
roadH 0 days, and in the outer roads 20 days, to finish
loading their cargoes.
These conditions could not be complied with, as at
the last advices, April 20tb, the Custom-house was
closed, and all business suspended. It was thought
that the blockado would be recognized by tbe Foreign
Powers, in whloh case tbo city would bo Invested by
sea and land, and compelled to surrender in a few
months, at the farthest.
Tho U. 8. ship Congress was at Montevideo, May
1, to sail on tho 20th for Rio.
From the London Chronicle, Jan. 1.
The Block Swan In London.
We ought to state at once that Miss E. T. Green
field is tho colored lady—tho protege of Mrs. Beecher
Btowe—some account of whoso vocal performances at
Btafford House was lately published in this journal.
Tho fortunate negro soprano gave yesterday—or rath
er, perhaps, had given for her—a concert nttho Iran-
over square Rooms, whore, of course, she was, as a
matter or curiousity, fto principal centre of attrac
tion, to tho temporary eclipse of Pisdiok and Gnrdo-
ni, both of whom suug on tho occasion. Tho list of
patronesses who surrounded the debutante could
hardly fail of securing a fashionablo audience for tho
reserved seats, while curiosity filled tho other bench
es. Mis Greenfield song no less than fivo songs, and
took part in a duet. The two songs which wo heard
were quite different in character, and demonstrated
pretty fairly the extent of Miss Geenflcld’s powers.
Tnov amount to this, that aho has a voice and some
feeling for singing pathetic ballads, but nothing more
and nothing else.
Her organ is a clear soprano, of considerable pow
er, and a wido range, os two notes she sang high and
low in tho vocal gamut, demonstrated; but it is ut
terly untrained, and her attempt to Bing a sacred
song—Himrael’s •• Sound tbe Trumpet,” where the
melody is not bo apparent as in "Homo.Bweot Horae”
—andtogivcnhigli running passage or two which
occurred in tho composition, resulted in an utter fail
ure. The arrangers of the mnslo had in fact procced-
ed upon a wrong prindpie. Thoy had placed before
Miss Greenfield a not easy Bong, in widen she failed,
while the other compositions allotted to hor did not
exhibit—the only quality she has to show, as an indi
vidual capability-a great range of voice. Whether
it bo intended to train Miss Greenfield to vocalism,
wo are not aware ; at present her voice is perfectly
uncultivated, and Bho continually sings sharp, proba
bly from a certain natural shrillness of tone which
distinguishes tho organ. What its actual compass
may be, we had no means or knowing; but wo hear
that Sir George Smart, whiio advising her not to de
vote herself to a professional attention to music, ac
knowledged tho range of her voice. At any rate,
then we would counsel no more concerts until Molly
Greenfield’s vocalism bo educated by long study and
bard practice; and,wo have our fears, again,that
public curiosity would bo blunted, and that no ono
would go to hear a vocalist, not becauso she was a
first rate artist, but because she was a woman of col
or. It was that fact and tho influence of tho patron
age which filled tlie Hanover square rooms yesterday,
but we do not think that a repetition of the experi
ment would bo equally successful.
