After the nightingale censes her litavcu

heard to hall the early sun—the true soul,
in youth or age—sits in its gloaming, and
by memory’s, flight backward and hope’s,
courageous advance —the true life obtains
its supplies.
The future comes into the present and
the past is a thoughtful guest. Nature has
chosen the companionship of midnight !
stars, when her most mysterious works are
wrought, and the awakened soul drops
from cheerfulness Into contemplation un

ihe gloaming time, fruitful of thought and

alio could no doubt exert a greater power
in directing national politics than sin* can
reasonably hope to acquire by steadily co
operating with any political division at
tlio North. Hut the truth is, thu South is
not “ unite:!," and there can lie little hope
of political union among us, in our pus
cut social condition, it would lie found,
practically, that union with some national
party organization would lie necessary to
the leteutionof our ascendency in Georgia
or any other Southern Stale. Ily such a
union only could we generally maintain a
home organization that would enable us
successfully to carry on a contest with a
party having such mi alliance and such a
discipline, Were there no ofli' e seekers
among us, were every man of a Southern
or a Georgia party content to wait until
tho voice of the party called him to be
come u candidate, the proposition might
be more practicable. Hut if undertaken in
our present condition, it would he found
that we were disorganized, it not dcmoial

: nmy not he such uono us we could desire
* it to ho—we have no hesitation inlaying
that thfge is now no such a party at the
I North—hut our sectional status ami social
condition make it necessary that we should
in national contests, co operate with the
beet party wo can find at the North.
Possibly liie results of the iate election
may cause a breaking up of the party or

sibly the sectional war upon the South
may shortly cease, ami we may bo left to
! the management of our own domestic

it was the war upon our section licit made

the party that has just Secured anew lease
of power carried on that war, and it w ill

/■„ t/,e lull tor oj rti"TrMi—>iiK ,
1 have read an article enfitled "Not in
Jfjvor of Florid*,” wbtigr recently appear
ed in The '1 ribttne, from a-’writer in Pal-!
tujra N. V , and it impels roc to stale in
a few '.voids what I know 'about Florida.
I have (ived In this this Stale more than
_<l years—seven years in this neighbor
hood. 1 have lived at Jacksonville, Pa
laths and Ocala, and have traveled over
a "noil portion ol Jvet 1 I*< ci * In, and think
1 know something of 1,11 health .amt ro- ■
sconces of the Slate. My expeliettCO* does*
not atoll correspond with that of the wri
ter from Palmyra. I will not, however,
accuse him ot being liun ollrful, UtAUgli it
is very ovident that, notwithstanding the
length of time lie epent i# Flarbliq'.kij Ox-/
1 perTence’ was very limited. 'The section!;
of Florida in which lie lived is so noto-
rious for the very evils of which lie com
plains that no man w ho is at all acquaint
ed with the country can lie induced to set
tle there. At certain seasons of the year
no part of the State can present a more
inviting prospect, and tho writer from
Palmyra is not the only man who has
been deluded into making the trial which
proved so disastrous to him. i have been
credibly informed that in tlifc section de
scribed by this correspondent the muske
toes and flies are so numerous as to make
it necessary for men who work in the
fields to wear gloves, and have their faces
j and necks protected bv pieces of miiskcto
netliug.
1 have never known any man to culti
vate twenty acres ot hummock land in
Florida, and fail to make a support for
himself and family hut I have known
less than one third of that number of
! acres of such bind to produce over b.ntlil
( moulds of smear and i .into gallons ot su
perieir syrup in one year.
I have seen large fields of corn which
uveruged forty bushels per acre, and known
lands that have produced tfllHl of long
staple cotton in one year. I was horn in
sight of the Flats on the Genesee River, in
Alleglianey county. New York, and know
something about the productions of that
fertile region . yet lo re, at Clear Water
Harbor, Florida, I have raised the lurgost
and fines’, cabbages that 1 ever saw. I
have raised as good tomatoes, beans, cu
cumbcis. mclloiiH. squashes, potatoes and
pumpkins as the Genesee Valley ever pro
, duccd. Within sight of my house is a
small orange grove, where the trees on
not more than one acre of ground
have yielded an average income, for
the last seven years, of not less
than tfSOO per year. 1 might continue in
definitely to state such facts with which I
am acquainted, but no man possessed of
common sense will expect to find the
Garden of Eden, w ith open gate, where he
may enter and enjoy the richest fruits of
earth without effort. Lights and shadows
are judiciously blended in every picture
painted tiy the true artist. A faithful de
scription of any country on earth will pre
! sent some shadow of inconvcnicnco, at
least, as well as enumerations of udvun
tages to be enjoyed. No one artist has
yet given a faithful picture of Florida.
Some have painted the bright parts per
haps a little too glowingly, while others
have drawn the shadows in darker lines
than the original requires. Any man who
expects to evade the law of his Maker,
that in the sweat of his lace shall he
eat bread until he returns to the ground,
lias no business in Florida . but those who
believe in the eternal law of compensation,
and are willing to labor fora reward, will
find their reward as great tad sure in
Florida as in any part of the United States.
Those who come to Florida from the
North must remember, however, that they
will have much to learn in regard to farm
ing here. The system which works so
| well in New York would prove ruinous in
I Florida The man who comes to Florida
to engage in farming, must come as a
i learner and not as a teacher if he would
j lie successful. Hy overlooking this fact,
the man who is unacquainted with our
climate and soils would take the shortest
road to ruin, and,no doubt,many have been
lead to such a course by too great a cou
tidence to systems of their own.
If any man from the North desires to
engage in farming or fruit-raising in
Florida, let him go where men engaged in
the same business are already meeting
with success Let him examine their
soils and become acquainted with all the
means which have contributed to their
success. Florida possesses a great variety
of soils suitable for the production of a
variety of cro|)B, and for various purposes.
Some localities arc esteemed very highly
by stock raisers as affording excellent range
for pasturage lor cattle, though of very lit
tle value lor agricultural purposes. In
some of the interior counties the land is
especially adapted to the production of
corn, cotton and sugarcane. Further
South, and especially near the sea coast,
as at V'b-ar Water Harbor, the cultivation
of tropical or semi tropical fruits,
the linesl quality of Sea Islnud
cotton, sugar cane. and vegetables,
yield the most valuable return to the farm
er. Let me suggest to persons desiring to
know ihc truth in regard to Florida, the
propriety of sending out sensible, truthful
men to spy out the land We are glad
when such men come among us for infor
mation, but dread the advent of those w ho
are credulous enough to believe the over
wrought tales of laud speculators. The
statements of the l’almyra correspondent
are so far at variance with facts that we
have little tear that uuy sensible man will
be inliucnceU by them. 1 must iwt form *,
however, to give him credit for one fact,
w liich lie candidly stated, lie says "The
tlrst class lintels make enormous sums ot
money " There is a tine chance for some
enterprising parties to prove the truth of
this assertion by building a good hotel at
Clear Water Harbor. 1 have bad no pro
tection against mosquitoes in mv house
this year, and have not sutlered one mo
ment's uneasiness or annoyance in conse
qucuce of such neglect. C. 8. R.

ALL FOII A SINGLE PRICE OF ADMISSON.
In the Collection and Organization of the Museum the utmost care lias been taken to gratify
and enlighten the public by presenting in One Vast Assemblage an accumulation such as lias
never been attempted or dreamed of by tlic combined tact, talent and liberality of all other man
agers in America or Europe. It may be enteresting for the public to understand that for nearly
Two Years Mr. ROBINSON'S NUMEROUS AGENTS, who are found in almost Every Part of
the World, have been actively employed in Procuring Curiosities for his GREAT TRAVELING
SHOW. Some of these were put on exhibition for the First Time Last Year; but they have
been very largely supplemented for the present season by New Accessions and Consignments
brought by almost every Steamer from Foreign Ports which has arrived in New York for the
past eight months. As’an illustration of the Indomitable Energy of the well known Proprietor
of this establishment, it may be well to remark that the Exhaustless Resources of Europe, Asia.
Africa and America, with tiie subdivisions of China, Japan, Australia, the Polar Regions, South
Sea islands, Arabia, Turkey, Siam, Circassia, Egypt, the Pacific, Arctic, Indian and Atlonti
Oceans, together with the Red Sen and Holy Land, have all been levied upon, contributing to
swell the aggregate of This Single Department, which after all, constitutes hut a moiety of all
that mav be seen.
Itis estimated tliatinthe AQUARIUM, MUSEUM, MENAGERIEnnd CARAVAN, there are
Twenty Thousand Curiosities.
This Stupendous Combination has been brought together at an actual cost to the Proprietor of
MORE THAN A MILLION OF DOLLARS; which is ten times more than was ever invested
in a single Show. The curiosities of the several departments represent the choicest excerpt*
from the realms of Zoology, Ornithology, Geology, Ichthyology, Conchologv, Entomology. Mr
chanies. Numismatics, Science, Statuary, Oil Paintings, and manv rareand exquisite productions
of the Automatic and Heliographic Arts, and so classified for this GREAT EXHIBITION, as to
challenge the admiration not only of Naturalists, but of Poets, Statesmen, Philosophers and
Divines^
Parents, Sabbath and Public School Teachers should bear in mind that No Public Exhibition
ever instituted in America afforded a Tithe of the Practical Lessons of Intuition which arc
found in this Unique Exposition of Object Teaching.
