After the nightingale censes her litavcu ly piping, and before the uprising lark is 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 der nature’* divine spell, and too. finds ihe gloaming time, fruitful of thought and aspiration.

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.

Possibly liie results of the iate election may cause a breaking up of the party or | gnnizatlons throughout the country.

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.
