As much interest i»felt throughout the country in regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops we will bo'grateful to our planting friends and others in the interior for information on that subject. Those who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor mation in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-labor system, ancf kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to ns. • THE MAYOR’S REPORT. We publish this morning, to the exclusion of our general variety, the annual Report of his Honor, Mayor Anderson, accompanied by the city. Treasurer’s Report, exhibiting the financial condition of the city. This able report, which will V>e read with interest by all classss ot our citizens, besides giving a clear and comprehensive view of municipal aflaris, contains some important and valuable recommendations and suggestions, which, we desire to urge upon the favorable con sideration of the people of Savannah, but for want of space, we defer our remarks on the subjects for the present. We may, we think, congratulate our citi zens, not only on the favorable condition of the city finances, and the manner in which the city credit, at home and abroad, has been sustained at a period of great political and monetary embarrassment, but also on the advancement that has been made in repair ing the wreck aud disorder incident .to the disastrous conflict through which we have just passed. Our progress during the past year gives the gratifying assurance that, with a continu ance of good municipal government, energy and enterprise on the part of our citizens, we shall not only recover the losses of the _ past, but soon attain a position of commer cial importance and prosperity which tv ill entitle its more than ever to the appellation of the Queen City of the South. GEN. UIX ACCEPTS THE MISSION TO FRANCE. It is authoritatively slated that Gen. Jno. A. Dix has accepted the mission to’ France. The reason why the position was not ten dered to him before his acceptance of the appointment as Naval Officer of New York, was because the request Of Mr. Bigelow, to be recalled, had not reached the Govern- ’■ment. It is to be regretted that a statesman of the ability and influence of Gen. Dix should be removed from the political arena at home, just at this juncture. It is said that the key to his appointment is to he found in the recent advices from Europe, relative to the Mexican question, the solution ot which has been obstructed by the fact that Mr. Bigelow has become too etrougly committed to the French side of the Mexi can imbroglio to fit him as a representative of the United States at Paris. Hence his.re tirement and the appointment of Geu. Dix in his stead, who is prepared to take much bolder ground on the matter of .the French occupation of Mexico. STATE TAXES. We learn from the Milledgeville Recorder that the amount of property returned by the State of Georgia,{is about '$307,000,000, three counties yet to hear from. The amount re turned in 18G0, was $623,322,777—lo3S to the State of qver §465,000,000. The tax of 186C, will be one-sixth of one per flWHjofflplrofle/i? Report, wiiicii we are as sured will be very interesting and instructive. [For the News and Herald.] Steamer Sylvan Shore, j St. John’s River, Florida, J September 30, 1366. ) Messrs Editors : Reaching, as the United States do, from the verge of the tropics almost to the confines of the frigid North, our people have become quite us mi gratory aa the feathered tribe. The dequea of the South likes to pass the hfeafed term among tb4 green hills of New England, making the tour of the North ern lakes, or ranging over the vast prairies of Minneso ta, even to the far off Red river of the North. To escape from the rude, chilling blasts of winter, he returns to his own sunny clime, followed by thous ands, io pursuit ofjiealth or pleasure. Where, it may be asked, on the whole earth can be found such a A and as this ? When Ponce de Leon, the'adventurous Governor of Porto Rico, named it the “Land of F|ow- ers,” he but hall re-called its attractioast a climate beyond the boast of Italy or Egypt, soft breezes from the bosom of the ocean giving health and elastici ty to the spirits; ever recurring.scenes of beauty and wonder to charm and interest the mind. Such is Florida, and from October to June-it is the resort of tourists from two hemispheres, One can leave Savannah by tha Sylvan Shore, and in thirty hours, by the inland route, passing Fernan- dina and Jacksonville, arrive at Pilatka, one hundred miles from the mouth of the St. John’s river. From Pilatka’ steamers of lighter draught ascend £t. ’ John's to Lake Idnuroe, one hundred aj£l iwentfefivo miles, or the 5cklawaha about the s&mb distance to Silver Springs, in Marion county. If Niagara awes the soul with its overwhelming grandeur. Silver Springs, by the irresie table power of beauty, charms every sense. Imagine an oval basin three hundred and fifty feet in diameter, forty feet deep, from which a river insuns sixty feet wide and twenty feet deep, whose waters are as transparent as ether/ Seen at noou-day, beneath a clear sky, the decomposed raj s of light guild every object in this fountain with rain bow hues. The fiah sporting in the water, minut*) shells on the bottom of the pool, and the delicate moss like algoe waving in the current, are as distinctly seen forty feet belo w the surface as if suspended In mid air. Florida, however, is peflsas rafigrtahlcfor^prings than flowers. On the banks of Lake George'fS another silver spring of the same diapharous quality* Then there are sulphur springs, salt springs and ihtelmif- teut springs, some of them remarkable for the heal ing virtue of their waters. It is very common to hear oue say such a place suf fered terribly during the war, but Fernandina seems to have been reserved tor belligerent exhibitions in time of peace.

FMflips to oppose Butler for Congress, and he has accepted the nomi nation. The opposition to -the hero of Ber muda Hundreds, it is said, will be active and formidable. We see it stated, also, that since the adjournment of ihe Radical Soldier’s Convention at Pittsburg, of which Butler was the master spirit, that much dissatisfaction •has been expressed by soldiers from all parts of the North.at some of the principle^ #fi.4 sentiments put forth by General Butler in his address before that Convention. The Western correspondent of a New York paper says that his declaration to the Convention that more may be required of the Southern States, in the event of their adoption of the constitutional amendment, before they shall be admitted to Congress, is generally regard ed with great disfavor, as threatening to leave the country still in agitation, and the States unrepresented, even though the constitu tional amendment should prevail. The bet ter part of the soldiers also utterly repudiate his demand for the hanging of General Lee as well as Jefferson Davis. The large ma jority of the soldiers distinctly disclaim that such are the sentiments of the party to which they intend to give their ballots. It is a remarkable as well as suggestive fact, that Butler has, by some unaccountable means, acquired a controlling influence in the counsels of the Radical party. It is equally apparent, too, that hia popularity is immense with the masses, as shown by tire invitation to run for Congress in a district of his own State where he does not really re side, and this though there is an express law of the State to the contrary, forbidding any one to aspire to so important u position un less within the district of his residence. How is this anomalous incident to be ac counted for? it i& certainly not on account of his military fame, for unfortunately, ac cording to the judgment of General Grant, as expressed in his report of the late war, the Generul was singularly unlueky in his mili tary career, and signally failed to achieve dis tinction in this line. It has been said that it is because of the remarkable mediocrity of talent in the party to which he belongs. This tuay be one, but we imagine not the chief reason. We rather suspect his popu larity may be traced to the abuse heaped upon him by the Southern press, which has excited the sympathies of his Radical friends, who have been thus inclined to place him in a position where he can inflict vengeunco upon the ‘‘defiant rebels” for their audacity. Whatever the causo. General Butler is evi dently on the high road to public favor, aud is quite certain of attaining the honor of a seat in Congress.

B CAItY & CO.’S ‘ NONPAREIL FRENCH GUANO” W HICH 14 now offered to Planters possesses quali ties which are peculiar to it alone, and sender it far superior to a^y other known, as has been fully proven by the “ French Academy of Sciences,- ami also by practical persons of enlarged experience iu every department of Agriculture. Among the meritorious qualities which peculiarly distinguish the “ Nonpareil French Guano,” may be enumerated the following: 1st. It *111 promote the growth of Cotton, Corn, To bacco, or any kind of grain or vegetable, equal to A No. 1 Peruvian or Mexican (Tu&ao, aa Has bean fully tested, at the aarne time being entirely fret from the objectionable properties of the above, as it is a Perma nent Improver of the Soil, instead of a stimulant. 2d. It can be applied to tbe leaves as well as the roots of plants, without any danger of burning them, if used properly, and we guarantee that wherever am plied tbe soil will retain its moisture, and will not bake, even the most clajfey. 3d. It will prevent Worms or Insects from destroy ing either plant or grain, and wherever it is applied every kind of worm or insects will instantly disap pear, its properties being repugnant-to insect life of every kind. This quality alone will be a great benefit to agriculture when it is estimated what vast numbers $ »» Southern planters know, have lost their crop by in-’ sect depredations. ' In a circular it is impossible to fnlly enter into the merits of the •> Nonpareil Frentb Guano,” bnt we as sure the public tlpt we have not exaggerated, and it only remains for those interested to test its value when we feel confident that it will rapidly supercede all others. * For Sale.
