CgT Election 2nd Tuesday in June.
I iie above named gentlemen are the’nom
inees ot the democratic party of the 25th
Scnotorial District, whom it is to be hoped
t be people will stand firmly by on Tuesday,
12th ol June next. It is thought by some
that there will be a large vote polled on that
day, against the convention.
Let us see who are opposed to the con veil'
tion and for what reasons. It is stated that
all or nearly all of Gov. Co'buitt’s appointees,
including himself, are opposed to it, because
they are afraid that their salaries will be cut
down: and the appointing power taken from
the Governor and let the-people elect all
officers that Georgia needs, which is a great
many less than me have at present, The
same is said of many legislators and for the
same reasons. It is further stated that spec
ulators are opposed to a convention because
they think the present homestead will be
cut down and made a permanent gift to the
women and children of Georgia, so that, they
cannot get behind it and take the bread from
those innocents; and ride i.ito the Slate’s
treasury on tlie distructive principle of
State aid and other enormous frauds that
have been sitting on the necks of the people
ever since the war.
These are statements for honest men to
consider; whether tney will vote with Such
men as those obove named, because you are
afraid your voting privileges might be tam
pered with, and your homostead taken from
you, and imprisonment for oebt and the
whipping posl, and other great night mares
Hint some people seem to be afraid of set up.
Is it not better to run the risk ol making an
honest and just Constitution, under which
our faxes will become much lighter and our
liberties much more secure, speculation dis
t roved and legitimate trade set up in its stead,
than to run the risk of living on under the
most corrupt and tyrauical government ever
imposed on a free people, under which our
taxes get heavier year after year and our
property deprecirting in value in proportion ;
n Constitution th it compels j>oor men to pay
riie enormous credit prices for what they
want and need because they cant give seen
ritv on money borrowed nor pay the inter
est on it When it is borrowed?
We think that honest men, both rich and
poor, would do themselves and their poster
ity a great favor by voting for a Convention
to cored the terrible evils that exists in our
miost at present, and if that Convention
fails to do their bidding, you have the glori
ous privilege of voting it out when they
submit it to you for ratification. Therefore
it makes no difference who you send to the
Convention they will he bound to make good
and wholesome laws or the people will not
ratify their action.

yet.

Oiiange Lake. M.reh ?oth.
Mm Editor: —-After looking at some hue
groves about Orange Lake and seeing some
pleasant people we started to Silver Spring,
ilie next object of attraction, eighteen or
twenty miles south ot the Lake.
• The mad passes over rather a high pine
country, mostly poor, but some of it produc
tive, known as sappling land. The only
growth upon these lands is a dense forest
of very tall slim pine sapplings, and this
has the character of being next in fertility
to the hammock lands, and is very rocky in
some places. A tew miles below we reach
ed the Spring, we passed over more poor
sand ridges, Silver Spring is one of the
greatest natural curiosities in Florida. It
rises up in an extremely poor sandy section
and contains about two acres in space, is
very deep—and exceedingly clear so much
so that a button or ever a pin can be seen
on the bottom, which is said to be fifty leet
Irom the surface. A regular line of steam
boats come from Palatea m the St. Johns
river daily into the ’ spring, w hich is the
head ot navigation on thy Oeklawaha river,
nround the spring is a small valley, but
rather unsightly, with one small store.
The ware house at t >e spring does tlie
business of the place, as this is the shipping
point for a considerable scope of country
around. Six miles west of the spring is the
beautiful town of Ocala, the county seat of
Marion county, which place we reached at
night.
March 3 th, and 31st, We spent in look
ing at some attractive places. Here too we
found the spirit ot orange culture engaging
the attention of the citizens. Here we saw
some flue groves—of orange, grape, banan
as, lemons, Ac., but they were more or less
injured l>y the trusts of the past, severe
winter.
Mr Adam L. Echelherger’s farm is one
of the attractive enterprises near Ocala He
has about thirty acres in orange and lemons;
tour or five acres in bananas, and some fine
vines ot different varieties of grapes. We
went to his house and found him to he a
clever enterprising gentleman. He gave its
some good wine made from the Flower’s
grape that was much tike imported Port, in
flavor and looks. There are some fine ham
mock lands around Ocala but most of the
pine lands in the vicinity are poor and very
sand} - . The best lands unksayoved are
worth alamt ten dollars per acre.
All things considered we look upon Ma
rion county rs being quo 14' the most re
tractive counties or Florida, It has an av
erage amount of good farming land, tolerably
wrll adapted to fruit culture. gx>d water
and said to lie quite healthy. We might
say from Gaansvilb- south Florida is a
heahbv country, wirii hut ’exceptions.
The productions here are corn, long staple
coitoa, s’lii'iir and s\ mo oV*. ) ait a tors , II)( i
-'bii'ii - *>t ic.al fruit .
M ucli .‘thli and .list, Me passed pleas
antly, looking around Ocala. I pril first
<>ur little party who had had a delightful
°i sotial intercourse up to this time,
concluded by mutual consent to ’ sepa
rate. Cant Rose and Mr. Williams thought
it best to return home. So after the usual
well wishing and kind words, we shook
hands and Capt. Rose and Mr. Williams
turned their horses for hotp.%.
Judge Oliphani and Dr. Suggs remained
in camp until Monday April 2nd, Alter re
plenishing on* mess chest and laying in
some provender for the team, we took the
Telegraph road south towards Sumterville
■n Sumter county. For ten miles we trav
eled over rich hammock and mixed lands,
but then for twenty—five miles on the Sum—
teryille road it is very poor, and heavy sandy
roads. April 3rd we reached Sumterville
another unfortunate town. The county
seat has been removed from Ibis place to
Leesburg on Lake Griffin. There are dense
forests in and all around the villege. It
has a Telegraph office, two stores, a hotel
Ac. We also saw’ some fine bearing orange
trees about the yards, some ot them laden
with fruit. Judging from what we saw of
this county we could but say that it is poor,
although we were told that there were
some fine lands on the Witlilacoochee,
which forms the western boundry of the
county and also some on the kkes in the
eastern part. Transportation in this sec
tion is bad but lands cheap. April 4th, Our
course from here is directly west towards
Brooksville in Herando county. By noon
we reached the Withlacoochee river a small
sluggish sickly looking stream. We fed
our horses and concluded to try our luck at
fishing, which was poor. Judge 0., got
one bite but missed the fish, the Dr. had
nc bite but a few fiom sand flies. After
leaving the river a few miles we came to
the hilliest and most elevated looking coun
try that we had seen since leaving Upson.
The lands are both piue and hammock and
much of it is very rich, Before the war this
like many other rich land sections was
bought tip by wealthy planters, and large
farms opened for the purpose of raising Sea
Island cotton and sugar. But now much ot
the cleared lauds are not in cultivation, tor
the want of available labor. But for two
serious objections to this county it is cer
tainly the most attractive part of Florida
that we visited, and these are, it is far from
market and we were told that it is sickly.
Biooksville the county seat like the Irames
of the county is rotting down, and looks
forsaken, and we would say did but little
business. There are some fine orange trees
about the town, and vicinity in bearing,
and some small young groves.
This county is well adapt fed to fruit cul
ture, is almost free from frost, good elevation
and fertile. It is also r. good farming coun
try for corn, oats, rye, cotton, Sugarcane,
potatoes, and is particularly a fine section
tor garden vegetables of all kinds, and like
ml of South Florida is a good grazing coun
try. Cattle doing well all the year on the
range without being fed.
ihe road from Brooksville to Tampa
leads directly soutn as both places are on
the same meridian, and the distance is fifty
miles. From ten miles south of Brooksville
the hinds are low pine woods good forgraz
ing only and are very thinly settled.
April 6th, A few miles before we reached
Tamp?, the lands are more elevated and
sandy. The town of Tampa on the head of
Hillsborough Bay is a small place of about
500 or 000 inhabitants, and is built upon a
white sand beach. The houses are all of
wood and mostly of a cheap kind, but there
area few nice buddings. There is a line of
steam ships from here to Cedar Keys and
Manatee twice a week and also a line from
New Orleans by Key West every two u ecks.
Also many small sailing vessels to all parts
ol the Gulf and to the West Indies. Tampa
for its size does a good business and. has a
large scope of country for its trade, and as
there is but very little corn grown in this
section the provision and supply trade is
heavy. The exports are chiefly cattle,
hides, tallow, potatoes, sugar, syrup, oran
ges, lemons, and garden vegetables,
M e enca'mped on the military reserve, a
beautiful place, qy the side of the Bay hav
ing some large buildings, but not occupied
now as all the U. S. troops had been with
drawn from the Slate some weeks before.
Sunday April Bih, Stormy and rainy, pre
venting us from attending church, the night
was stormy. Monday April 9th, We woke
up and found that we had been robbed during
the niglitof our watches, and about sixt}’dol
lars in money. 1 lie loops of the tent had
been lifted ofi the pegs in the ground, and
the thief had operated from the back of the
tent. Wo reported our misfortune to a few
ot the leading citizens, but they were bury
about their own affairs, and took so little
interest in the matter that we were not aide
to do anything towards finding the rascal.
About noon we hitched up and crossed t-hu
Hillsborough river which enters the hay on
the west side of the town, and liaveled west,
thirty miles over a low flat pine barron
country to Clear Water on the west coast on
trie Gulf. Some five or six miles before we
reached Clear Water we came to a high
rolling pine country, poor, but well adapted
to the culture of semitropical fruits, by using
fertilisers.
Gleor Water is not, a town, but only a
post office, and the neighborhood for sever
al miirs around gets the same name
T‘?ere are some higli bluffs on the coast
along here and some fine old orange groves.
All of this country Is covered with Saw Pal
metto so thick tlrM, it is difficult to ride
through the woods. We camped at Mr.
Bart Brown’s who had been living here
nine years, and had come here very poor,
but by hard work and economy was getting
to be in comfortable circumstances. He
has fifty acres set in orange trees, a few of
which are bearing.
April lit Is*, A isited several young groves
on the Clear Y\ ater side and then crossed to
the rp ainpa side to Bay View. Here we
have one of the finest water views that we
had seen on the coast. Bay View is a post
office and is a settlement rather than a
town, upon the head of wh t is called Old
Tampa Bay.
We spent the night with the Rev. Joseph
Brown, and this was the first niirlit that we
had slept in a house since leaving home.
This Clear Water peninsula lies between
Tampa Bay and the Guff of Mexico, and is
üboiit thirty miles long and from five to ten
ni?>s v.*ide. and is a poor pine country, but
by manuring, the lands produce fruits and
garden vegetables finely. About twelve
hundred families live on the peninsula, are
mostly poor hut industrious and look to he
happy. The climate Imre mMighttu] frost
'•idoiti visiiiny ii,
April 12th, We stopped with Capt. Mc-
Mullen and spent the night. The Capt, is
an old settler, and we found him clever and
prosperous.
April 13th, We visited several young
groves and some old ones, and had nice or
anges to eat all the time. We should not
fail to mertion the grove of Capt. Booth ia
neighboi hood. It is not large but very fine.
About three acies are twenty-five years old,
and very r thrifty, from which we were told
that twenty-five hundred dollars worth of
fruit has been sold the past season. All
around Tampa bay there are some curious
mounds composed entirely of sea shells, and
covered about two feet over with earth.
Some of these mounds are large, covering
one-fourth acre of ground and twenty-five
feet high, and level on top. Hisiory gives
no account of their origin as they were tnere
when the white man first came to the conn*
try. 'When dug into the shells look almost
as fresh as they do when just taken from
the water.
April 14th, Returned to Tampa, and
camped two miles north of town in what is
known as the Omaha settlement from the
fact \ uat it is settled by’ emigrants from Ne
braska near the town of Omaha. These
people are devoting their attention to orange
culture, and market gardening.
Sunday April 15th, was spent in camp.
April 1 61 1:, visited some places around Tam
pa. Camped in the grove of Mr. Wells, a
nice young grove of 3 acres, about five years
old, not bearing.
April 17th, Sold our team and entire out
fit with the intention ot returning home.
As we had to wait two days for the steam
er to Cedar Keys we stopped at the Tampa
Hotel, kept by Mr. Craft, which we found
to he a good house. 18th, at Tampa. 19tli,
We left on board the Steam dr Cochran for
Cedar Keys. Down the bay’ we had a fine
view of the country from oft' the ship, until
we reached Manatee. Some of the bluffs
along this place are tolerably high, but from
what we could see we judge the country to
be low and level. Frmi Manatee the
Steamer put out straight to sea. Avery
stiff gale was blowing from the south, which
made the sea itiugli. Our vessel was a pro
peller and verv restless among the high
waves, making us sea sick, and a thunder
storm during the night added to our dis
comfort very much, and we had but little
rest during the night. April 20th, We were
at Cedar Keys, in time for the cars, but con
eluded to lie over and look around. The
village is small and poorly built and stands
upon an island or rather upon several small
islands and is peopled mostly by fishermen
Fishing and the lumber business are the
occupations of the place. There arc several
large steam saw mills here, turning out
quantities of lumber, which is shipped to
almost, all parts ot the world.
April 21st, Lett early on the train for Fer*
nandina on the northeast corner of the state.
Had a tiresome inonotonus days travel over
the level piae ;ands through middle Florida,
and reached Fernandina at night More
