ARRIVAL AT JACKSONVILLE.
Close connection was made with
the David Clark at Jacksonville, and
we were soon steaming up the grand
and noble St. Joints.
brock’s line.
Right here, before I forget it, I de
sire to pay a deserved tribute toC'apt.
Jacob Brock, and his “old reliable ’’
line of steamers, composed of the
Florence, the David Clark, and the
Ilattie. There may be faster boats,but
there are none safer or that give better
fare, or managed by more expei iencctl
and polite officials. This line carries
the U. S. mail, and receives its full
share of freight and passengers.
Gupt. Brock’s line was the first put
on the river, and is fully deserving of
the patronage received.
RIVER SCENERY.
The scenery on the river is beauti
ful and imposing. On either side are
to be seen lofty oaks with moss trail
ing from them their branches, while
ever and anon a neat cottage or hand.
f ime resilience is seen peeping out
amid the trees.
The river ranges from one to one
and a half miles in width, until you
reach
PALATKA,
seventy-five miles from Jacksonville.
As the boat remained here several
hours, I crossed the river to
hart’s GItOVE,
for which lie lias refused $<5,000.
Here I saw the largest and best kept
grove in the State. Some of the
trees are forty years old. The grove
contains TOO bearing trees, and cov
ers seven acres.
Palatka is a very pretty town. The
streets arc shaded with orange trees,
some o' them covered with fruit, and
bananas are seen in many front yards.
CP THE RIVER.
Soon after leaving Palatka, Thurs
day morning,we entered Lake George,
which is several miles across, and re
sembles a miniature ocean. After
crossing this lake we entered the
upper St. Johns. The river from
here to Mellonville is narrow, and
the change is quite a relief to the
eye. The boat often goes so close
to the bank, in making the sudden
bends, that you can almost jump on
shore.
I saw thousands of ducks, several
water turkeys, cranes and other birds,
and a few alligators. The lat:er were
not as numerous as I expected; prob
ably owing to the cool weather.
On the afternoon of the 17th we
reached
mellonville,
200 miles from Jacksonville, arid situ
ated on Lake Monroe —another beau
tiful body of water. The place lias
four or five stores, a hotel, a church,
and a few residences.
Here I made the acquaintance of
Mr. Isaac Newton, who formerly
pubiislied a paper in the place, but
which lately suspended for the want
of patronage.
On Friday morning Mr. N. accom
panied me to
FORT REID,
and other places in the vicinity',
wliere we saw several young groves,
and some fine bearing ones—inc!u
c!ndii:g Ginn’s, Hayden’s, Wylly’s
and Markham’s. Judge Hayden, of
Atlanta, gave 630,000 for his gn.ve,
and lias already sold young trees to
the amount of $19,000. We aiso
saw a tine grove at the Orange House,

the bar, the boat re
ellonville, but stuck on
Rike Monroe. After re-
board an hour or more, I
.row-boat bound for Lake
p, and embarked, leaving the
mllie Boy still fast on the bar.
I arrived at Luke Jessup wharf
about dusk, and found our young
friend, Mr, John Mitchell, formerly
of Ilawkitisville, clerking there.
The night was spent with him, and
next morning we started for his fath
er’s, Dr. Batts Mitchell, who lived
some four miles distant. Of course,
Dr. Batts, being an old Ilawkitisville
friend, was glad to see me. I spent
the day very pleasantly with him.
He has one of the prettiest young
groves in the county, besides lemon,
citron, peach, apple and other trees,
and a nice banana patch. But few
of his orange trees are yet bearing,
but be has several lemon trees bear
ing tine ft uit.
Monday morning T started for
ORLANDO,
the county-seat of Orange, taking
dinner tit Air. Partin’s, who has sev
eral bearing trees, and a young grove.
In the evening 1 arrived at Judge
.Mizell’s, and spent the night. The
Judge lias some fine bearing trees,
many young ones, and a nursery of
l, each of lemon and orange trees,
lie also has the bitter-sweet orange,
limes, lemons, etc., and more land in
cultivation than I saw nnywhereel.se,
Orlando was reached next day at
noon. Tiie town consists of a hotel,
m. v'.-pf.house, a few stores and resi
deuces, and one of the finest and
largest court houses in the State —
lately erected at a cost of SIO,OOO.
There is some good land in this sec
tion, and it can he procured at more
reasonable rates than nearer the river.
TIIE RETURN.
On Tuesday evening I returned to
Judge Mizell’s and spent the night.
Next, morning I hid adieu to my hos
pitable Lost, and returned to Dr.
Mitchell’s to dinner. The night was
sj ill with Mr. Need Jelks, another
Hawkinsville friend, who has charge
of some groves belonging to his
brothers. I was sorry to find Need
sick in bed, but hope, ere this, that
lie is able to be out again.
FISHING ON THE LAKE.
On Wednesday, in company with
Messrs. Love and Cone', both form
erly of Hawkinsville, we went fishing
in a boat on Lake Jessup. After
fishing four or live hours, we counted
the spoils, and found we had one
trout (similar to our black bass) and
forty-two speckled perch.
Friday night was spent with Dr.
Siin Taylor, another old Ilawkins
ville friend. Next morning he took
us over his place. He has some ex
cellent land, and is industriously en
gaged in fencing and improving the
same. His trees are young yet, but
when they get to bearing will be
quite remunerative. The remainder
of this and the next day were spent
under his hospitable roof, and he and
his excellent wife did all in their
power to make my stay pleasant.
Monday was spent in fishing at the
wharf on the lake. After trying the
sport all day, I returned to Dr. T.’s
with one lone perch and a solitary
catfish. This satisfied me that fish
j iug at the wharf on Lake Jessup is
not a success.
start for Jacksonville.
Tuesday morning 1 bid farewell to
my hospitable entertainers, and, in
company with Air. Cone, who was on
| his way to Jacksonville, we were
rowed across the lake, and after a
weary tramp of five miles, valise in
hand, reached Mellonville.
TAKING TIIE STEAMER.
Next morning I embarked on the
Hattie. Nothing of interest occur
red on the down trip, excepting the
continual shooting of alligators by
the passengers, mostly Northern men.
i Notwithstanding scores of cartridges

were exploded, only one “gator" was
hit,ami it by Iho engineer with a shot
gun. The rifles mostly used by tlie
Northerners have adjustable sights,
and nro only reliable at long range,
and not always then.
CONNECTION MISSED.
Owing to a strong head wind, the
boat did not reach Jacksonville tintil
after the train had left; so I had to
lav over a day, which was spent in
walking around the city. Jackson
ville is a pretty place, claiming 15,000
inhabitants, and considerable busi
ness is done there.
BOUND FOR HOME.
Friday, at 5 p. m., I was on the
cars on my return home, and arrived
without incident in Columbus before
day Sunday morning. 1 was glad
when the hour came for mo to take
the N. & S. train next day, and still
gladder when I got home that night.
VIEWS OF FLORIDA. *
But, what alfout Florida? someone
may ask.
Well, much. The country has
many advantages and some disadvan
t ages. i
A person wishing to enjoy perpetu
al summer, can find it here. Ice is
very seldom seen. The summer heat
is rendered tolerable by the delightful
breezes that constantly prevail. The
nights are cool enough, generally,
even in the summer, to require cover.
Owing to the sap in the trees,
fences do not last long.
Meat is hard to save. The only
way you can do it is to cut. it in small
strips, leaving out all bone.
Beef is cheap and good, and requires
no stall feeding. But the stock is
poor, and you have to keep three or
four cows to get enough milli to put
in coffee. Few people keep cows,
and country butter is a rarity. You
have to pay fifty cents a pound for it.
Eggs are worth thirty-five cents a
dozen; hens fifty cents a piece.
Hogs are common, but they get
wild very soon. The}' are fat enough
to kill right out of the woods.
The'water, as a general tiling, is
not good, but. equal to that in Macon,
Columbus and several other places in
Georgia.
Mosquitoes and black gnats are nu
merous. The latter only prevail du
ring March and a part of April.
The lakes and other streams are
full offish. An abundance of game
exists.
A visitor to Orange county will no
tice the absence of chimneys to the
houses and offences around the yards;
also a scarcity of negroes. 1 did not
see exceeding eight negroes in the
county. White labor prevails, and
many of the rougher sex assist the
gentler in the culinary department.
Florida is a good place for a man
of means, but a poor one for a man
without money, unless ho will make
up his mind to go to work at any
thing that may offer—plowing, hoe
ing, grubbing or anything that eotnes
to hand. A laborer gets one dollar
a day anil board; one and a half if he
boards himself; or his board and from
SIO.OO to $20.00 per month. The
few negroes in the county are indo
lent and independent, and it is hard
to get w ork out of them at any price.
The majority of the settlers are
averse to the introduction of negro
labor ; and as they seem to got along
so well without the negro, politically
and otherwise, I am persuaded they
are about right in their views on this
subject. They are certrinly free
from many of the troubles incident to
the presence of a largo black popula
tion. *
Owing to the shallowness of the
wells, the old-fashioned sweeps are
universally used. I remember to
have seen only one rope and wind
lass on the whole trip.
All the country through which I
passed was more or less sandy, ma
king it hard work for man or beast
to travel; nevertheless I walked six
to ten miles daily with less fatigue
than 1 would have accomplished the
distance in Georgia. It is said tha*t a
person soon gets used to walking
here, and I believe it.
Notwithstanding the poor water
and the numerous lakes, creeks, etc.,
the health of the county is said to be
excellent. A person can get wet
without fear of being made sick, and
your appetite gels better after a few
and ys’sojourn, as was proved in rny
own etise.
Dr. Taylor has been in Florida six
years, and be informed me that his
practice during that time would not
exceed 100 dollars. This is one of
the best evidences that can be adduc
ed as to tbe healthiness of this section.
Lands suitable for orange culture
are held very high, T hoard of six
acres near Mellonville, without a
house or an orange tree on it, selling
for 300 dollars per acre!
Most of the land is not suited to
corn or col'on. Some of the ham
mock land is too wet after it is cleared,
and where it is not, it will cost fifty
dollars per acre to clear it.
It is a hard matter to keep corn on
account of the weavils; hut you can
got from $2.50 to $3 a bushel for
peas, and they can be raised as easi
ly as in Harris county. It seems to
me it would pay to grow and sell
the peas, and buy the corn, which
can be bought at sl.lO per bushel.
With the exception of two months,
you can have a garden all the year
round. I saw as line hard-headed
cabbages hero as tlioso brought from
the* North, and )Irish potatoos arc
now large enough to eat; sweet pota
toos grow the year round; corn was
knee-high in February.
lii traveling through the country
I noticed orange trees every w hero —
in the woods, in tho yards, and up to
the very doors and windows of tho
houses. The people have the orange
fever badly.
Whether, when Orange county be
comes one vast orange grove, as it
doubtless will ore the lapse of many
years-—whether, then, the owners of
groves will reap a harvest of green
backs from tho golden fruit, or wheth
er, as some prophesy, the increased
production will bring the price down
below the cost of transportation, is a
problem yet tolu solved. The or
ange business is as yet in its infancy,
and time alone can decide as to its
remuncralivcnoss.
Nearly every kind of fruit can bo
raised in Orange county. I saw sour,
sweet and bitter-sweet oranges, cit
rons, lemons, limes, guavas and pine
apples. And this, remember, in Feb
ruary.
To the consumptive, the dyspeptic,
the rheumatic, or those troubled wish
asthma or bronchitis, 1 would sincere
ly recommend a removal to Florida—
not merely a trial of a few weeks, but
n residence there, winter und summer.
I saw persons there, who came sick
with consumption and dyspepsia, who
are now hearty and healthy, and can
eat most anything.
Thero are a few bears and panthers
in the county, hut they rarely trouble
anything, and are seldom seen. Dr.
Taylor told me that, ho had only seen
three bears and one panther during
his residence thereof six years, lie
showed me a panther’s track through
his field.
A singular sight is the innumerable
salamander hills that dot the face of
the earth. They are said to be very
destructive to a grove of young trees.
Tiie growth around the streams, is
water and live oak, and the cabbage
palmetto; and inland, black-jack ridg
es and endless forests of pine, varied
occasionally with bays, scrubs, marsh
es, ponds, etc.
The cabbage palmcttoesare so call
ed from the heart resembling that of
the white cabbage. They arc boiled,
and some people like them equal to
the regular cabbage. We tried come
at Dr. Taylor’s, but think they form
q very poor substitute for the genuine
article. They are also eaten raw.
Some very nice hats and other articles
are made out of the leal of the pal
metto.
The soil, which all seems to be the
same from a top view, varies under
neath the sand—some being “hard
pan,’' and some white clay. This
“hardpan’’ is a kind of rock which
will not absorb Lite water in the
wet season, and which is very dry
iu the dry season; and as no root
can penetrate it, it is unsuitable for
the growth of the orange.
While they have a few chills in
Florida (and there are a very few
places in Georgia where they don’t
have them occasionally), the more
malignant types of fever are unknown,
and the mild types yield reddiiy to
medical treatment.
Orange seed are at a premium.
Every Floridian, when eating an or
ange, saves the seed, and if he sees a
stranger eating one, he requests the
seed.
The seed planted in Orange county
may be numbered by the million, and
young trees will doubtless be plenti
ful in a year or two, and cheaper in
price. At present, a three-year-old
tree will readily bring one dollar, and
the supply scarce equals the demand.
Sweet seedlings bear at the age of
seven or eight years, but are hgrdly
remunerative before the tenth year;
but by budding the sweet orange on
the lemon or soar orange stump, you
sometimes get a hearing tree the
fourth or fifth year, and it will prove
remunerative the sixth or sevonth
year. E toll tree, in a good grove,
yields from five hundred to one thou
sand oranges annually.
Some of the land needs fertilizing,
and this is furnished by nature at the
very door of the f.n'mer, in tho shape
of a rich blaok muck, found in the
hays and ponds, and wldoh is splen
didly adapted for intermingling with
the white sand.
1 believe Florida a good place for
a man who has means sufficient to
buy n bearing grove, or who is able
to sustain bimself, after buying land
and setting out a grove, until it.
becomes remunerative. Otherwise,
it is not. A man without means, pro
vided ho has no family and is wiling
to work, can also do well. But tho
doctor, tho clerk, and ho who ex
pects to live by his wits, had bettor
stay away from Florida.
Orange county is fast settling up,
and is thickly settled around lakes
Jessup and Maitland, and the town
ot Orlando.
Thero is some good land there yet,
but most of it is taken up. United
States and State lands can be procur
ed at a reasonable price, but lands
owned by private parties are very
high, and advancing.
Orange county is two or three
times the size of Harris; and owing
to its desirable climate, suitability of
soil tbrorange culture, and absence
of negroes, will soon be one of the
most numerously populated counties
in the Slate. The citizens equal those
of Georgia in hospitality, intelligence
and obedience to law. 1 did not see
a drunken man on my trip, nor hear
of any disorderly conduct.
The trip from Hamilton to Mellow
vilfu eatt be made in lour days, at the
cost of about twenty dollars.
Parties going thero to live should
look around ale w days beforo pur
chasing. By bo doing they can find
tho most suitable land lor what they
desire to raise.
