“Every day we hear of some
distinguished Northern man who
will attend our State Fair. They

those Winnebago savages. The
people of Georgia would like to see
some of the monsters.
The supply of Peru vain guano is
giving out. Owing to the frauds in
fertilizers,and the ignorance of many
who use it without knowing how to
place it where it would do most good,
we think it would have been better
for Georgia if the supply had given
out in 188-5.

A grand plot to flood the Southern
country with counterfeit money—
most of it to come from St. Louis—
has been broken up by the timely
arrest of the principal counterfeiters
in Alabama. Most of the prisoners
are parties who have hflherto borne
respectable positions. They are said
to belong to a branch of the great
Western Counterfeiting Company.
ocrat , we take pleasure in stating
that there has not been more than
six deaths among the white popu
lation of that place for the past two
years. There seems to be an impress
ion that Bainbridge is in an un
healthy section of the State, but from
this exhibit we doubt if any place
in the State can show that it is
healthier, not even our own famous
mountain region.
The Chicago Tribune thinks that
it would have a salutary effect on
their own condition if the negroes in
the South, the next time there is a
massacre, would take a hand in it
themeslves. “Jess so,” says the
Nashville American, “and the next
time there’s a Freedman’s Bank rob
bed, it would be well for the ‘nigs’
to have both hands in—up to the Jel
bows.”
Joe Morris, the self-styled negro
general, the instigator and leader of
the projected insurrection in Wash
ington, Jefferson and other counties in
Georgia, was arrested in Atlanta last
Monday by detective Murphy. Joe
came to Atlanta the previous Friday,
but kept himself dark in the day
time, lie was arrested in a room
next to the United States Court room,
where, it seems, he frequently visit
ed. Me was carried Tuesday morn
ing, hand-cuffed, to the scene of his
anticipated military exploits, where
he Will be kept in jail until tried.
New York generally does things
on a large scale, but when it comes
to a mater of stealing, the Meridian
Mississippi Homestead is not willing
to concede tier the plain. Says that
journal, in commenting on the slll,-
198 canal steal: “We can beat that
in Mississippi to death. We have a
little free-negro school here, known
as the Alcorn University, that has
cost the State of Mississippi, in the
last two or three years, the sum of
$250,000. If Willard Johnson had
taken a few lessons from our Mis
sissippi carpet-baggers,he would have
made by his splendid opportunity
not less than a million.”
Asa sample of how Ames and his
crowd misgovern Mississippi, Sena
tor Alcorn, while in Washington the
other day, cited an instance where a
man feeling aggrieved because a wo
man had spoken against his sister,
went to her house,dragged her into the
Woods,hung her up by the heels, and
fired six shots of his revolver into
her body. The murderer was caught
by the citizens and put in jail, but re
leased by the negro Lieut. Governor,
I>avis, without even a trial, SBOO
being it is alleged paid for his re
lease. In another instance a sheriff
conveyed a negro to prison, sentenc
ed ;o three years in the penitentiary,
and the negro was released and re
turned home on the same train with
the sheriff.

The New York Herald in com
menting upon Morris’ capture in the
United States Court House, and his
being taken from un.der cover of
United States officials, says:
“It *s a somewb at remarkable cir-
9 urr iStance that ne should have been
in communication with the United
States District Attorney for several
days prior to his capture, and that
a United States Judge should not re
fuse permission to the sheriff to en
ter the room in the Court House
where the criminal lay concealed.
The almost invariable sympathy
manifested for negro criminals in the
South by Federal officials would not
seem to tend greatly toward the pro
motion of the era of good feeling, of
which so much has been said of late.”
The most terrible kerosene lamp
explosion on record occurred in Ne
braska lately, by which the father,
mother, two boys and an infant—the
whole family—were horribly burned,
most of ihem in attempting to save
the others. The child Has died, the
mother and one boy are in a des
perate condition, the other boy will
probably be crippled for life, and the
father’s hands burned so that he can
never use them. The explosion was
caused by the lamp being accidentally
knocked down.

A Palpable Hit.— The Chicago
Tribune hits the management of the
Indian bureau in this way: “The
man who spoke of the Indians as a
dying race should emigrate. In 1868
they cost the country $2,629,975 97 ;
last year $8,032,752,92 was required
to support them. Either the funeral
expenses are inconceivably high or
the man erred.”

Farmers, mechanics and hard

“Seven Thirties” and “Ten Forties?”
Why, simply this in effect—-that you

until 7:30, so that the bondholder
need not get up until next day at

The sugar and molasses crop of
Lousiana last year was one of the

pected to exceed it. A similar re
port is made of this year’s crop,which
is estimated at 104,963 barrels, and
cotton will probably do as well.

SOUTH FLORIDA.
FIRST LETTER.
Editor Standard & Express :
The Atlanta papers have, for some
months past, been filled with letters
from South Florida, if not altogether
descriptive of the eastern coast and
the section along the St. Johne’s riv
er and tributaries. They were
very attractive to me, as an experi
ence of three winters had satisfied me
the climate of North Georgia would
not suit my constitution,and still less
that of those dependent on me ;
I had therefore all the spring been
casting about fora country possessing
an equable,mild and heathful climate
in winter. But the summer was the
trouble. I found, moreover that loca
tions favorable for transportation was
difficult to procure,and high in price,
and that cheap lands, or land open
to homestead entry wore compara
tively remote, and therefore for the
crops for which they were suited (gen
erally of a bulky nature) they were
valueless.
Again,parties living in East Flori
da, agreed that on the St. Johns river
and perhaps on the lakes, there was
danger, at certain seasons, of chills
and fever, and to secure health a
residence of from one to five miles
from the water courses was necessary.
When however a healthy location
was obtained, none could be health
ier. I also learned from unquestion
able sources, that an orange grove
was invaluable, no matter what its
age and very few could be bought,
and these only for a small fortune—
that uncultivated or wild land in the
vicinity of Mellonville, or Lando or
anywhere in civilization, or near
market, was worth not less than
$25,00 per acre, and from that to
$100,00; that it would cost the origi
nal outlay to dig up the palmetto
roots and fence it, and after all, the
tropical fruit business was not so far
advanced as to make it a perfectly
sure thing to engage in. Some had
succeeded and were making large
fortunes, more were making money
by planting groves and selling to
other people, while others were en
gaged in raising young plants for
sale. Everthing seemed speculative.
While the papers and patent office
reports now filled with accounts of
sugar, corn, rice, potatoes, and starch
that could be produced on an acre of
poor white sand, I could not with all
my writing,hear of anybody who had
more than one acre of each. All this
did not suit, although Ihad the Flori
da fever, t knew, however, there
were places in South Florida, just as
convenient to transpotation as any
part of the upper St. Johns ; quite,if
not more healthy, and where a
iimAte'VAYCir
ture of money as would be necessary
in the region just spoken of, and
which, in . a few years,would be
more densely populated than any
part of South Florida. I determined
to find out, at any rate, and to test
the climate, (taking it for granted it
would do in winter) I determined to
go in summer, selecting the months
which I thought most likely to be
sickly,viz. July and August, to make
my visit. I have just returned and
now submit to you the following ob
servations. My objective point was
Manatee a little village at the mouth
of Manatee river, on the Gulf coast,
in latitude about 27° 30.’ I had been
led to select this as an initial point
for exploration, from letters publish- 1
ed iu the clear water Times, 9, nd from
private letters to me from parties liv- j
ing there. From this point I intended
to visit the region South,viz: the Cal
oosahathie river (Fort Myers,) Char
loote Harbor, (Fort Ogden) and Sar
asoto Bay. From letters received be
fore I left home, I decided the coun
try better suited for stock raising
than farming, in fact that it was not
suited for farming at all, except per
.haps in a very few detached loca
tions, hence I did not visit them at
all, having no desire nor sufficient
capital if I desired, to enter into the
stock business. This information
was fully confirmed to mo by distin
guished parties desiring my stay in
F'orida. After I left home I chang
ed my intention of stopping at Man
anatee for reasons which will appear
during the course of these letters. In
fact, much of my course was directed
by information received from Mr.
Tom. Mirandah of Kingston, who
had lived long (in fact was a native
of South Florida) in Tampa and who
had tramped all over South Florida
as a soldier during the Indian war.
His statements I found remarkably
correct, ami by his advice my atten
tion was directed to Tam pa and its vi-
cinity and the country east of it, or, to
be accurate,South of east,on the Ala
fia river and its affluents; on Bull
Frog creek, the litttle Manatee and
the head waters of Pease creek. The
country west of Tampa—on old Tam
pa Bay—Clear Water Harbor and
Point Punellis, being something
like the St. John’s all the gov
ernment and State land being taken
and improvements high. With
clear and defined plans therefore and
ideas of what I wanted, my mind,
viz: to get good government land,as
a homestead, convenient to transpor
tation,healthy,and capable of produc
ing all the crops besides oranges, of a
semi-tropical climate, I left home on
Monday, June 23. Wendesday fol
lowing I was at Rosewood, a station
on the Fernandena and Cedar Keys
R. R., looking over Mr. James
Ford’s truck farm, and busily engag
ed in taking in information as to his
process for raising vegetables, the va
rieties cultivated, markets shipped
to, and prices obtained and cost of
production, with the kind of fertili
zers used. To reach this point, nine
miles from Cedar Keys I had passed
through Atlanta, Macon, Jessup,
Live Oak and Baldwin and had trav
ed over six different rail roads. But
I must defer to another communica
tion a description of Mr. Ford’s plan
and business. Kingston.
