Letter from Florida.
Fernandina, Fla., June 14, 18C8.
Editor* News and Herald:
1 arrived at this, the “Island City,"found
ed by the great Yulee, at some period ante
rior to this, on the morning of yesterday, at
the witching hour of ’alf past three. To say
that 1 have had an interesting cruise is to
convey but a faint idea of the interest with
which it began and accrued as it progressed.
About 5 P. M. of Tuesday last we were at
the outer buoy off Tybee Light. A heavy
sea was running, which struck us on our
port aide, though the wind was right aft.
The weather had a greasy look and feel, that
gave me full assurance that we were going
to “make a night of it.” A thick curtain,
dirty as that of a six-pence theatre, saemed
to be let down between us and the land,
shutting it in so completely that one could
not help feeling as though he were really “all
at sea.” That rude old cuss, Boreas, began
to pipe, arid soon had his band in full play,
discoursing music that ravished tb.e senses in
more ways Ihra one. He seeraed vastly
pleased with his own performances, whatever
may have been the sensations of his audi-
euoe. The seas danced right merrily, but
being great, heavy, lumbering bodies, their
movements struck me as being very awk
ward. especially wheu beiug una ble to get
out of the way of the “Dictator” they ran
against her with a force that made her reel
aud tumble as though she were inebri
ated. Not so with her however, she was
all riglu and light, though not iu the sense
ot inebriety. Borey was on a bust, that was
very evident, aud a more regular blow out
tae old fellow never had, so curly in the sea
son. I fear lioni tho sample of his conduct
ou that occasion that the old chap’s periodi
cals are becoming more frequent andatronger
than of yore. 1 certaiuly, in all my experi
ence, never knew him, blower us he is, blow
so Laid and so long in the month of June in
ibis latitude as he did that Tuesday night.
The sea seemed maddened by bus mimic, and
he as mad as the sea. It was i-adeed a t’ear-
lul night, and having no knowledge of the
bu.it, 1 confess to feeling some anxiety as to
what might be her behavior under the trying
circumstances in which she was placed. I
am happy to say that she behaved like a lady,
repelling the attempted embraces of tne
drunken Neptune wnh a quietude and digni
ty that won my sincere admiration. Towards
midnight it blew hard enough to take the
bide off a horse, aud the sea boiled up as
though Ncp was boiling water wherewith to
mike whiskey punches. Our Captain not
wisuing to go to the eouth’ard ot bis port,
determined io lay her to, a very nice opera
tion iu such a gale. We effected it hand
somely and iu a manner the most sailor-like,
aud very soou the Dictator rose and fell as
gracetully to the huge wave, that came roll-
iog towards her as e’er did Creole lady iu the
Spanish dance. So heavy and fieo-ce was the
st-a that it took the wheel out of the men’s
hands aud whizzing round as if impelled by
the direct foice of 100 inches of steam,
kuocked the helmsmen down like nine pins.
Gallant old Captain Willey jumped tor it,
aud though his right hand had some of the
fingers kuecked out of joiut in the attemp’,
he grasped aud held on to it, getting his ship
into position and saving her from very serious
trouble. All night did this noble old sea-dog
and his mate stand by the helm, and wheu
the storm began to break, his judgement was
apparcul in having laid her to, ior not only
had she riddeu cut the gale with ease, but
it was but short woik to get her into her des
tined port. I have been to sea somewhat
and have seen something of the sea,
but never did I see a more perfect sea-
boat than I did see in the Dictator in that
“one night at tea.” I watched her closely
and not without a prayer be assured, or
perhaps 1 should say a continuation of
prayer, but bj well am I assured of her ad
mirable sea qualities, that I would give her
the preference to niue-tenths of the ships I
kD-.w. Notwithstanding the heavy irregular
sta that struck her oa all sides, she came
out ol the ordeal as light as a bottle. Iu all
my travels, and they have beeu, as you
know, somewhat varied, I do uot remember
ever to have met with just such a curiosity
in the way of naval architecture as this Cap
tain Willey. 1 firmly b-slieve he waj built
lor the sea, and it i did’ut know that Cap
tain Noah had preceded him. 1 should think
that the sea was built for him. He knows
the bottom Irom Savannah to Palatkaas well
M9 though he took his daily constitutional
over it, before the water was let on, and I
don’t suppose there is an island, headland,
tree or marsh, that isn’t fully daguereotyped
upon his mind. He handles the Dictator,
ol 1,000 tons, as though she were a light
pleasure ybcht, und withal, as quietly as if
be were engaged at a game ol wuist. He is
a captain, ana in nothing is this more clear
ly evinced than in hi9 strict attention to
minor as well as more imporiant matters. I
do not know when I have met with one who
so fully knew his business, and who so
thoroughly gave it his attention. The
travelling public may well congratulate
themselves in having so excellent and safe
a means of conveyance as the Dictator,
uuder the management of so thorough a
teaman and captain as Captain Willey. I
leave to-morrow for Gainesville and New-
uausville, aud one or two other points, and
hope to see you by the last of the week. My
kindest remembrances to all at home.
Yours,
Important Railroad Meeting.—On Tues
day the stockholders meeting of the Mont
gomery and West Point Railroad was held
at the office In this city. A large amount of
stock was represented, especially that held
by the Central Railroad and Banking Com
pany of Savannah, Georgia. That Company
has leased the Muscogee Railroad for ninety-
niue years, and now owns, as we learn, tne
controlling portion of the Montgomery and
West Poiot Railroad. They propoeed and
have agreed, we understand, to build the
road from Montgomery to Selma in less than
two years, in order to have one grand line
from the Miisslslippi to the Atlantic coast.
An election was held for Directors of the
Montgomery and West Point Railroad, and
the old board re-elected, with Col. Pollard as
President—Montgomery Advertiser, l8fA.

IOUTUEKN INDt'CENKRTI TO IMMI
GRATION.
On the Wing, June 13, 18C8.
Editors Neivs and Herald;
The importance of immigration to the
Soutfi, in her present deplorable condition
especially, all can appreciate. From a re
cent visit to “the west and westward,” Vx*
tending" almost to the Rocky Mountains, the
v r ter is very much encouraged with the
future prospects of the South, provided
I r jper steps are taken in the right direction,
encouraged by comparing the advantages
and claims of the western and southern sec
tions each to the other. It is generally sup
posed that the rich prairies of ihe West con
tinue to the base of the Rocky Mountains.
This is a great mistake. West ot the Mis
souri river the traveller enters a series of
plains, tho chief vegetation of which is
the short crisped buffalo grass, which is
characteristic of an arid climate. The only
kind of tree in this vast region is the cotton
wood, found only sparsely distributed along
the banks of the streams, generally small
muddy creeks (from 25 to 30 miles apart,)
many of which dry up at certain seasons of the
year. From the result of climate this vast
region, embracing not less than twenty
degrees of longitude, must forever remain
but sparsely iuhabited. From the Missouri
river westward the rains diminish rapidly—
before reaching the Rocky Mountains-they
disappear almost altogether. This drynfessof
atmosphere gives chu*e to the most abrupt
changes in the temperature, the thermome
ter rising to eighty or ninety degree? at mid
day, and falling almost to the freezing point
at night, or betore sunrise. It will readily
be seen that without rams, aud without water
to irrigate, that tbis extent—immense extent
—of country can never be cultivated, conse
quently can never be settled up. The soil of
tne plains, even it favored with proper sea
sons, aud with a more favorable diimate,
would yield but a poor return to tho agricul
turist, it being nothing more nor less than
one vast desert, and retains the same relation
ship to America that the Great Sahara Desert
does to Africa. Immigration has reached its
westward limit, beyond ninety-eight degrees
of longitude. Sterile barren soil, insufficient
rains, scarcity of water, unfavorable climate
for agricultural purposes—by reason of abrupt
transitions in the temperature—are effectual
barriers to the progress of settlement west
ward. Immigration has reached its western
limit. Efforts are however being made by
the Pacific Railroad Companies to settle up
these vast desert places. Should auy oue
who has not visited this region of country,
read the pamphlets issued by tbe-e corpora
tions. and industriously circulated through
out Europe and America, such an one would
suppose it to be the best favored of God’s
earth. Thus far they have succeeded in
building up a lew “oue-borse” towns along
their lines of road, which do a large restau
rant business with the thousands who are
continually going to this “promised land,’’
and who are continually returning from the
same badly sold.
The West having become thickly settled
up to this western limit, and all lauds up to
this limit having passed out of the hands
of the Government into the hands of private
individuals who hold them at 1I13 most ex
orbitant figures, where must, where will
(if proper effort is made to enlighten him)
tiie future emigrant to America seek his
home ? In the South there he will Had cheap
lauds, soil, climate and seasons adapted to
the successful raising of cotton, tobacco, rice,
wheat, corn, rye. oats, &c-, &s., and where
fruits of every description grow to perfection.
Tne plain duty of the South is to organize
each State in its separate or individual capa
city and torn the stream of immigration in
i ts proper course. To promote this great and
patriotic enterprise each individual being
ever reudy and willing to contribute in every
possible way to its grand accompliment. To
induce immigration lands must be placed in
the market and offered to the emigrant on
the most favorable terms ; offered on the
same terms that Western Companies offer
theirs, and the same means or system of pub
lication in various languages and scattered
through Europe and America adopted. West
ern laud companies have filled up the West
with a population of over 9.0QD.000 people
in a most incredible short space of time, all
owing to the liberal terms upon which lands
were sold to the emigrant.
Thus one year’s interest in advance at 6
per cent, and six interest notes, payable re
spectively in one, two, three, lour, five and
six years, and four notes for the principal,
payable in four, five, «ix and seven years
from date of sale. With proper organization
and descriptive pamphlets ut the various
lands offered upon these terms, printed in
different languages and properly circulated,
Georgia in a very few years could be made
to more than double her present white popu
lation, aud the tide still pouring in.
The idea prevalent with many of our peo
ple that large numbers of foreigners can be
induced to go South to fill the place of their
negroes on their plantations and farms is a
very great mistake. You cannot induce any
considerable number of foreigners, especial
ly the Germans (the best tanners in the
world) to immigrate to a country unless he
can see a certainty of becoming himself a
proprietor. To play the part ot “hewers of
wood and drawers of water,” is not his rote
in ihe development ot countries. To sup
pose that it is, is a serious reflection upon
the intelligence ot any oue.
These views, Messrs. Editors, I have taken
the liberty to commnnioate, in hopes that by
their appearing in print, they may possibly
help along the good work. Apologizing for
trespassing so much upon your valuable
lime aud space. Very respectfully,
Hi
Buffalo Hunter. «
A SOUTHERN HISTORIANJ3J TROUBLE
Mrs. K. A. Pollard In a Brooklyn police
Court.
Edward A. Pollard, the well-known South
ern historian, has turned up under curious
circumstances. Yesterday his wife, Mrs.
Made laide E. A. Pollard, appeared before
Justice Cornwell, at the Brooklyn City Hall,
and preferred a complaiut against Mrs.
Crotty and Miss Crowy, her daughter, re
siding at No. 81 Cranberry street, for
assault and battery. While before the
magistrate, she stated that Mr. Pollard left
her about three weeks ago, since which
t.mesbe had been engaged in.bunting him
up. That she went to .hia place of business
in New York yesterday morning, when he
accompanied her to his present residence,
Cranberry stieet. When reaching the bouse,
some demonstrations were made which re

W* take jfwR tbp Atlanta Constitution,
the following Utter, by which our readers
will perceive that the distinguished writer
thereof decliijeB^bejpjs^^i^hUte for Sena
tor before the Legislature of our State:
Atlanta, June 18,1868.
Editor QmsfitutionIii your issue of tbj*
morning, the. writer of an article, under the
pi “A Vital Mailer for the Georgia
Legiatore to Consider," ia pleased to suggest
ay name as a candidate in the approaebiog
Election of Senators of the United States
n»y
election
from Georgia. -. .The * complimpntafjr manner
,in which the wrifef itsks my consent to the
use of my name renfUrs it proper that I re
ply in this pubHd'tabB&oef.
I sympathize most deeply wish the desire
of ‘‘Southron" to see Georgia represented in
the United States Senate by men who would
scrupulously guard her “honor and material
interest”—who would heroically defend from
the assaults of 4be wicked and the misrepre
sentations of the malignant, our mother
section, while, he remained faithful to the
interests of the whole coonlry.
It ia s aad truth that our country baa been
mined, iu a great measure, by erroneous and
atheistic theories of human, rights. To in
sist, as ihe enemies of the. Constitution do
on conferring upon the ignorant and vieiou-,
rights, (?) or rather to place weapons in their
hands to destroy the liberties and inalienable
rights of the intelligent ai.d virtuous, is both
erroneous aud atheistic—erroneous by the
light of experience, and athoigtic la the
brighter light of revelation. These theories
find no sanction in the enlightened states-
m iuship of any people, and are sternly re
buked by the teachings ot the unerring God.
There can be in tbis country no perma
nent prosperity—no true, regulated liberty—
until the minds of ihe people are disabused
of these illusions and led hack to the correct
theories of the rights embodied in the Con
stitution, and illustrated by oar practice and
experience under it.
in answer to the request of the writer,
with much sensibility for his words of kind
ness, I have to say that I am not a candi
date, and cannot consent, under any circum
stances, to the use of my name in the con
nection suggested. J. B. Gordon.
Boot-licking and Button-holing.—Our in
formation * from various parts of the State
shows a most disgusting state of affairs among
the numerous candidates for office at Bullock s
hands. Especially is this the ca9e with aspi
rants for judicial preferment. Men whom the
country has hitherto regarded as above even a
scramble for place among their own party
friends, are emasculating their manhood and
reaping a rich harvest of public contempt by
boot-licking and button-holing creatures whom
they ought to be ashamed to speak to. They
“accept the situation’’ with much unction, de
precate “all further strife," and are willing to
be Bullock’s most obedient, humble servants if
he will just send in their names to the Senate
lor this or that place.
We hope every such creature will only get
kicks when he whines for halfpence. We call
upon the Democratic members of the Senate
to watch these gentry, and scratch their names
every time, if any should be sent in. Rather
than thus put a premium upou such sickening
subserviency ; And indecent greed, let Bullock
import his Judges from Skowbegan. The man
who would sell his principles and go back on
his race and State for office, would stick at
nothing to retain it. Better have ignorance on
the bench, than venality.-—Macon Messenger.
Shocking Accident to a Soldier.—On
Thirsday afternoon,.whilst the closing round of
the day was being fired in respect to the me
mory of ex-President Buchanan, one of the
brass pieces being improperly sponged, or uot
sponged at all, fired, as the charge was being
rammed, home, blowing off the right arm of a
soldier named Jackson, belonging to company
E, 1.6th U. S. Infantry,—Macon Telegraph.
—Should the proposed division of Texas
be effected, according to the bill now pend
ing in Congress. East Texas would contain a
population of 500.000, Texas 400,000, and
South Texas 300,000.
