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. Correspondence of the New York Tribuno. SOUTH FLORIDA. Halt—Smg»r-C»nr—Arrow Hoot—Sisal Hemp .•Oranges — Llmei — Lemons — Cocoa nuts— Fine-Apples-*Ouawa and other Tropical Fruttih Kby West, May 22,1853. 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 * I Bweetorangos,ofdelicious flavor,are now grown, ZVfMT' *“ MMT “■*' 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. From tha National Democrat. 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— Bulwer’s familiar about?

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." malll Alain Sultan Borneo. William Duke Brunswick. Pedro II Emperor Brazil.

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 hauled into the channel. Somo difficulty in procuring men may detain her in port a few days, otherwise she is ready for sea. ThU ship went ashore on Lookojr, 17th January, 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 directed assistance of the Florida wreckers, and tbey were paid for their services $31,000. The brig Jonathan Cilley, Thompson, master, from New York, with a cargo of paint oil, oement, Ac., bound to Mo bile, ran ashore on the "Washerwoman Bhoal on the night or the 14tb. and being boarded next morning by tbe wreck ers from tho pilot boats of Key West, took their assistance and was hove off, leaking badly, at noon of the 16th, and brought to town same day. She has been discharged, and tho lower tin found damaged. The cement has been sold. The brig will be repaired, take in her cargo, and sail by tbe 1st of July. The bark Ocrnnan, Lang, is taking in her cargo, and will be ready for sea by Saturday next. Destination New York. The schr. IF. A.

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, I»w in tbo ground." 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. oommtoteupon tb* admlitiztiitlon or Osneral Plane ai UiteharaeUr of Hon.
