I have no doubt my genial associate, Ool*

The trip to Feruandina, on the Sylvan
Shore, (now, I regret to learn, taken off the
im-,) aud the return by her, constituted two
f tue most delightful sections of the tour,

exerted themselves to make every passenger
jailor table, and we a most regrelted when
journey was over. At Dr. Payne’s
iigima House those who were flying for
uiiH-r ijarih lingered, in the enjoyment oi the
coiuioria of a home, the novelty of an old
city litw to them, the allractions of the

luust comioitable river eceuinboats ever

testily. A snort stay at Jacksonville gave
rtuuny to briefly prospect and lay out
plans lor a future doing of the city, and then
we went kiting up the river, under
favorable auspices—warm sun, cool
braze, attractive soenery, tho glus-»y surface

Vfitk ex c li Wus Hrt tifelied from a table loaded
c eut fish, delicious oysters, savory
venison, and an abundance: of local staples
that were to us novelties, from the superior
excellence, each of its kind. Cedar Keys
has about two hundred inhabitants. It is
a most remarkable place, and, 10 me, an
omalous in its character ; modern lb" Its en
terprise, but primitive in its simplicity, and
Acadian in the bappioensof the community.
It has not a Mayor, nor, that I could find
out, a magistrate. There is no Doctor, and
seldom a death. No church, nor school
house, clergyman nor teacher ; and yet the
people are intelligent and moral. Here also
is an isolated and wouderful instance of a
town without a bar-room. Ludlow’s house
has wooden windows ; Mason's hotel boasts
of glass, but its rooms are destitute of doore.
You canCgtring a minnow-baited line off the
iPjer and Catch a two foot trout as quick as
St f Peier o^d. Jhe miraculous fish that htd
theHribpu* money in lxis mouth. You can
purchase on’the beach the best of good oys
ters lot a song, hospitable neighbors furnish
you condiments and impl meuts, there is
abundant drift word for fuel, and if you
are fastidious about a smoky taste, there aro
plenty of o'd boilers for furnaces, and there
you cun luxuriate to your autiety in the most
fascinating of roasts. Plenty of sail-boats
and row boats are at your service, and the
best of sheep-head fishing is scarcely a ca
ble’s length away. My friend Mason, of the
hotel I diflu’t s ay at, can tell you by a fa
culty like instinct when the fish will bite and
when they won't, and proves bis skill by a
constant supply of the best upon bis table.
He or Capt. Ludlow, or anybudy, will loan
you riggings, lor everybody loans anybody
anything, and, mirabile, everybody always
returns what he borrows, in this place ol'
model morality. I never shrill forget an
oyster roast we nad on the be ibh under the
superintendence of Col, Downey, formerly
commander of a Wisconsin regiment. Our
• aw material consisted of somewhere in the
vicinity of a cart-load of oysters just out of the
water. We worked It op, as r the manufac
turers say, inside of an hour, and, despile
itUe absence of grog-shops, had somethiug to
wush the bivalves down with, and aid diges
tion. The hummocks in the vicinity furnish
p euty of fat wild , turkeys. The *ir has all
the invigorating ^character of. the Atiapttfc,
aad yet is sotter, aud of more equable tem-
ipera.ure than in the same latitude on this
const, and is toned by < the balmy breezes
from the pine-lands. Opposite, less than p.
mile, is Depot Key, the oldest settfement,
with many fine residences, gardens, orange
and shade trees, and numerous attractions.
This point first became prominent as a naval
depot and since as an intermediate station in
the through route from Mobile to New York,
of w hich more hereafter. The day after my
arrival the Key West boat dropped some
passengers, among them Capt- J. B. P.
Doyle, of the New York Herald, Major An
drews, U. 8. A., and family, transferred from
Dry Toriugas to Geo. Canby’s Department,
^nd tha Kt. Rev. J. P. Young, the zeaions
and indefatigable Bishop of Florida, of
wn de model diocesan school (St. Mary’s
Institute) at Fernandina I have before writ-
leu, aud who has made a thorough and labo
rious ecclesiastical tour of nearly all Flori
da, while I was going over about half the
ground doing nothing. The following day
being Sunday, the Bishop held morning and
eveuiug services in the largest room to be
obtaiued and it was crowded, many being
obliged to stand about the doors. Baptis
mal services were held in the morning and
confirmation in the evening. I was greatly
gratified at the common-sense character of
i Id: Bishop’s discourses, his easy, pleasing
style, aud his fervency in the solemu devo
tional exercises.
Our arrival at Fernandina found that city
in a ferment. The Ajax, pfoneer steamer of
the through line from Mobile to New York,
was in, with a full freight and forty passen-
ger j , and the Lizzie Biker with a hundred
passengers, including James (Jordon Ben
nett, Jr., and parly, was at.the dock. And
here let me say a word about this through
line. It has been a'long lime maturing, with
many interruptions, greatest among which
wan “the late war ” The hope deferred
made the hearts of s une of the stockholders
sick. Decayed sleepers Snd despoiled track*,
shattered tauks and dilapidated depots, po
litical obstacles, tax commissioners, lack of
confidence, kept the fruition back. Hor.
David L. Yulee, President- of the road, has
ltbored night and day with great energy,
and this was the first dawning of the desired
results. The next morning we heard of the
arrival of the Mary at Cedar Keys from Mo
bile, with nearly a thousand bales of cotton
and other freight, and that afternoon the city
huthorities gave the officers of the Ajax a
dinner at the Virginia House, an account of
wh ch sent to the News and Herald at the
time feetus to have been miscarried. The
prominent men of the city were present, the
officers of the boat aud of the railroad, rep
resentatives of the military &Dd revenue ser
vice, the press, and some strangers. Mayor
Bronson, presided, and an afternoon of unal
loyed festivity was passed. The dinner and
wine and speeches were good. I never s aw
a people so elated as were the inhabitants of
Fernandina over this inception of their pet
enterprise under such favorable circum
stances. The Ajax sailed next day. and has
siace made another round trip, equally suc
cessful. A great deal of the credit in making
the first connection so promptly is due to
Major A B. Noyes, since December the Su
perintendent of the railroad, as is instanced
by his discharging the Mary in eighteen
hours, in spite of the defection of a gang of
lazy negroes he bad hired, and who, findin?
lie was pressed for time, grew arrogant, and
whatever he was to pay them, demand d
more. He drove the whole pack off the
dock, Sent out and called in several gangs
of section hands from the road, personally
superintended tho discharging, and got his
cotton on the Ajax in season for her to sail
at the regular hour. He has remarkable en
ergy, perception, judgment and method, M

Capt. Colesberry having duties at St. Au
gustine, kindly gave ui an invitation to ac-
c >mpaoy him on his trim little cruft, a clenn-
taiier, neat as wax man-of-war style. Col.
Martin, ordered to St. Augustine on court
martial duty, was also aboard, accompanied
by his lady. It did not’ take long, on arri
ving at the ancient city to get comfortably
installed in the Magnolia House. Mr. Buffing-
t <n acquired a great repntatioa for the house
ia his day; afur his death it was run by bis
son for a time, and now it is nnder the excel
lent management of his widow, the former
hostess, Mrs. M. C. Buffington. The house
is cleam the servants faithful, the table sup-
p ied with everything tho market off r s.
At 8t. Augustine we strike the cout-h b
again. Some rapidly Recovering, others M
the slow but sure decline that tixvd consumer
U >n always brings. The-day of our arrival
cecurred the obstquies from the Cathedral
of Sifter Mary Josephine, and it was & most
imposing fuuerdal pageout. A considerable
proportion of the population, black aud
white, were in the procession; the largo body
of Sisters bore tapers, the numerous clergy
led the pious services, and when the whole
long coucourse chanted - in unison the solemn
intiueuqo was irresistible. The coffin was
covered with rich iVelvet and mounted In
costly style, the Cross, emblem of every
Christian, being most prominent. Upon the
lop*of the coffin were beautiful wreaths and
hoquets. Ou the same day one of my for
mer casual traveling acquaintances, who had
preceded me to Sr. Augustine, with whom a
few days before I had compared notes, and
who had encouragingly told me he’was once
as bad off as I was, died almost instantly of
a sudden hemorrhage from the lungs. Verily;
“ Ih the midgt cf file, we are in death.’*
Having done tho fort, crawkd into the
dungeons, visited Bro. Andren. our worthy
contemporary of that imat little paper the
Examiner, which deserves patronage from
Savannah advertisers; having eaten orauges
to our fill fresh-plucked from the burdened
trees of Mrs. Aodersou’s plantation, having
drauk lemonade to di.-traction, betn enter
tained at the barracks, and pbietoned a 1
over town, still unsatisfied, our hearts begun
to agh for the ioc-chests arfd the milk-caus
of Suvaunah, for in the aucieut city, of ic»-
there is naught, and the milk it is not cow’s
milk^ nay, nor eveu yet the milkman’s—at is
the chemist’K, across between cod-livei oil
and spirits of turpentine. Condensed milk
did well enough in the army, but few people
yearn for it or spoiled ham since they quit
the field. Three stage loads ot us left St.
Augustine at sunrise for PiCohta, crossed a
tyrry without going to the expense of a silver
ciown, there being no moot question regard
ing anybody’s daughter, rode through pine
woods about 360uiiles(the driver said it was
only[18), and finally stretched odr. lrgs in
triumph on the Picolata pier.
The City Point e-ime along and took us
io Jacksonville, which we had to do in one.
atternoon, less time than its first layer re
quired, tor Jacksonville is a live oiiy with
old residents and Yankees enough in it to
make a variety of style. Capt. Tucker di
vides the American people into white men
and niggt-ra, which classification would
simplify the study of anthropology very
much. It seemed to me that the acquain
tances I met at Jacksonville were about naif
aud half Rebs and Yanks. It is the most
driving city in Florida, I believe, and aside
from the influence of the diabolical Billings,
wuose name I did not mean to mention,
there is no local political cause for lack of
harmony among the people. Now I have
mentioned the Reverend Billings, I will
just state that he is more despised and hated
m N^w Hampshire, the State he. disgraces
by hailing from it, among the members of
the 3d New Hampshire which he was kicked
out of, the negro regiment he was disgraced
from, and the whole people of the Slate of
Florida, than Bradley is by the people of
this section.
In regard to politics, substantially, the
same rules apply as iu Georgia. The'while
people, except some adventurers and a few
others, are generally uinted. The negroes,
as here, are demoralized. They have been
treed from Uioir oJU masters, and given
themselves away to Massu Billings, who
feeds them with speeches and cloiiies than
with promises, ud<1 bolds ihein with a tenure
of lies, and is beginning to lose his influence
with the best of them Harrison Reed, the
other Rad.cal candidate, stands higher. Col.
Scott, ot Tallahassee, the Democratic can
didate, is a worthy siandaid beaier, but I
doubt if the Conservatives m Florida work
as they are working iu Georgia.
The negroes are the most worthless set I
ever saw. Commercially, they are “likely”
enough, hut I ?carcely saw one whose ser
vices, under the new regime, I would give a
coutineutal picayune lor. They toil not,
neither do they keep out of the way. They
are always iD y.our way, and a nuisance I
do not refer to the., selected servants in the
hotels, and on the railroads, or id stores, but
the field hauds and city loafers, who prowl
arouud and nothing else, wuiring for their
prospective turnout of a nude nitched to
forty acres. r
The accounts I heard from the great cotton
and corn growing regions of thu State, mostly
out of the line pf this tour, are . very favora
ble. Many of the planters have adopted our
recommendations, to plant less aud raise bet
ter crops. This affords a pariial protection
agaiustupgro dictutiou, and lain sure if the
I p.ason is good the results will te.i favorably,
lany of the planters who have hitherto re
tied exclusively on; fertility and nigger will
aow r make themselves one of the elements of
crop-produciog, and a little white man
crossed in will fVts'ly improve the product.
Regarding Florida from a sanitary point of
view, her climate ia certainly delightful,—30
u that of Georgia. It is a healthy State—so
is Georgia.. Florida bus the advantage for
winter of a more southerly location, Georgia,
in summer of a more northerly one. Florida

The distinguishing feature ot this Super Phosphate from other similAr Fertilizers is that
all of its ingredients are of animal origin, and lore either soluble in water, or in a condition
to quickly become soluble in the soil, and be taken up by the crop. . ? .
Contains no inert or mineral materials. . „
The proper relative proportion of the ingredients in Mapes’ Super-Phosphate, to meet
he requirements of the Cottou crop on Georgia and South .Carolina soils, is fully, proved
oy the experience of Planters, whe testify that whenever they applied the same to land
joted for rusting Cotton, the disease tyas entirely corrected and a Wealthy, vigorous
growth produced, on the same laud. f »..t . \ i - m r-
