A real, sure-enough mermaid, with web-fing ers and scab s. I did’nt sen her—her bully-part, to he sure; but ain con vinced she had one. This is no place for wometi folks. I have pulled off my coat and boots mid am setting writing to you out un der a big tree ; none of your common t green trees, but a bay tree.

There are plenty pf cucumber trees here, too ; Home of the hoys dug down, and told me they Had ingun roots. But the magnolia trees lay all the others in tin; shade. It is from the sap of this tree that the celebrated Pike’s Magnolia Whiskey is made, only wc hav’ut found out bow lo make it. There is a great ahun d nice of Indian Turnips, Prickley Pears, itnd other esculent roots, grow ifg close by ; upon which we mainly ■ uliMiat at present—provisions being short".

Only Inst Friday night, an itnm ns • All'gutiir, upwards of sixty-odd feet, seven inches in length, erav#led up in to camp and swallowed your poor brother.
