:s Special Coireipwdence of the Times.] Natural Resources of . Florida, v* % \: No. 2. I Among the many natural resources •f the South, probably none arc at tracting more attention, at present, than tbe yellow anti pitch pine forests of East Florida. Although tbe entire South-Atlantic and Gulf regions abound, more or less, in this great source of wealth, yet n«» other section has facilities equal to East Florida for reducing it to a prop- per commercial value. In additon to tbe two Rail Roads which cross each other nt nearly right angles, at about a central point of this section; having their termini respectively at Jackson ville, Fernandina and Cedar Keys, arc many small streams emptying into the River, down which tho logs are floated to the Mills. The most impor tant points at which the lumber trade is carried on, are the several Seaports along the coast, though there arc some line mills a’ong the Rail Roads and Rivers which furnish a considerable quantity ot choice lumber for shipment, lint the most extensive e.\| ortalion takes place from Jacksonville (on the Si. John's River.) and Fernandina (on Amelia Island,) at which place there arc generally in port Own lltleen to twenty vessels, either taking or waiting for cm goes. They carry from three to five hundred thousand feet per cargo. The annual exports of Lumber from Florida to both coast wise and foreign ports amount to millions of dollars, but &s I am not in possession of statistics I will not at tempt to give figures. Rail Road Ciosstics are becoming auotliei profitable article of commerce: foreign as well as Northern Rail Leads being supplied from here. And Iroin the.same exhaustless magazine of commercial wealth, vast quantities of Naval Stores are supplied to the world. All along the lines ot travel can he seen, shining above the wav ing green the innumerable turpentine boxes from which the crude material is taken, and at almost every station is a distillery to convert it into spirits and Resin: the process being .- pie that any sensible plantation can conduct it, the most, common form ofdisLiilatton is with water; to prevent combustion, the spirits promptly rivnc to Hu: surface of the water ami Mow ing olfinto barrels, while the remiaiu- iug gum constitutes the rosin.
