'lallahasske. March 14, 1859. Florida enjoys most liberal endow ments to her internal improvement fund, both from the Federal and State Governments. In 1845, 500,000 acres of the public lands, donated by Con gress, were set apart to aid in the con • struction of railroads, in. 1850 grants donating all the overflowed lands for the same purpose were obtained from the Federal Government, which it is thought will amount to 20,000,000 acres, 13,000,000 acres have already l>een surveyed, and grants have is sued for 9,000,000 acmes. The term “overflowed lands” has been legally construed to mean not only the swamps, which are chiefly of little value—but lands subject to occasional overflow along the rivers, which comprise im mense tracts of the most fertile lands in the State. The fee of all these lands is vested in a Board of Trustees, con sisting of the Governor, Attorney Gen eral, Comptroller, Treasurer, and Land Register. The grant is a commou fund for all the principal reads projected in | the State. As fast as the roads have ten 1 miles graded, and the iron purchased and landed in the State, bonds are issued ( Os SB,OOO per mile, to be indorsed by the Trustees of the. Improvement Fund, and if the road does not pay the inte rest on the 6tock subscribed, the fund is liable for it until the road is completed. The Legislature has authorized counties to tax themselves an amount sufficient to furnish cross ties. When the iron is laid $2,000 per mile more is issued under the same endorsement, to com plete the road. lu addition to this, there is a grant from the United States for those roads, of six miles of alternate sections of the public lands on each side, making 120 mile sections for every mile, or 3,840 acres per mile. If not found within six miles, it may be made up from un graded lands within 15 miles on either side. Os the immenso grant lying within six miles, the State has made a specific appropriation of one half, di rectly to the companies, who may build the roads. Immediately after those liberal grants! were made by Congress, the government price was made $2.50 per acre. The companies receiving the grants are not restricted in price, and may sell accord ing to the demand. Many of these lands are now offered for sale, and the apprised price is not loss than $lO per acre. Thus it will be seen that the endow- * inent for railroad purposes in Florida is on a most liberal scale. It certainly offers a magnificent field for specula tion ; for if the roads never pay a dol lar of dividend they cannot fail to bring the lands into market, and thus realize stupendous profits on the stock. Yet it has been found difficult, to buy iron on the indorsement of the Trustees of the Improvement Fund, and some of the roads have many miles waiting until the bonds can be negotiated for its pur chase. The old Union Bank difficulties, and the repudiation of some of the : claims resulting from its failure, has doubtless contributed to destroy confi dence in the bonds abroad ; but sagac- ‘ ious capitalists will surely be found at 1 no distant day, who will take the bonds. 1 and thus secure the completion of a 1 railroad system so important to the de velopment of the rich resources of this young and growing State. 1 No State in the Union stands more in need of railroad facilities than Florida —and up to a recent period none had been so remiss in constructing them.— Now a nv rnber of important routes are projected, and several of them partial ly finished ; constituting in all, 198 miles in running order. Os this 80 miles are in the Florida Eailroad across the peninsula, from Fernand in a to Cedar Key 6, on the Gulf ; a road that will be 151 1-2 miles in length, and will be completed during the present year, and which will constitute an (important transit route from New York to New Orleans. The company has received i from the Secretary of the Interior 285,- ’ 568 acres of the land inuring under the act of 1856, to aid in the construction 1 of this road. They are empowered to f establish a line of steamers in counec- . lion with the road, on both the Atlantic and Gulf side, and will connect the At k l&ntic and Gulf forts by nearly an air * ■ line across the State. From Cedar Keys * steamers will run to Tehuantepec, ta -i king passengers and the mails for Cali- I fornia. I mention this road first be- I cause I believe it is nearer cempleted than any other of tbe principatiine6. The Pensacola and Georgia .Bail road extends from Fernandiea to Pensacola, and is in running order to Baldwin, 42 miles, which is the junction with the road from Fernandina to. Cedar Keys.— A road from Jacksonville, %b miles ki length, is completed, connecting with this line. From Tallahassee to near Monticello, about SO miles of this road are completed, and tb* oars run daily From Tallahastt* to St. Marks, j&tniies of road is also in operation. These comprise all the lines on which any ma teria) progress has been made. A road is under construction to Quincy, and About three miles is graded The Flor- 1 jda and Alabama railroad, from Pensa ‘ cola to the Alabama line. 45 miles, and * tbes»lf Central Road, from Alligator to Jacjtftpnville, 60 miles, is a part of 1 the FervikJdina and Pensacola road. ’ Above noted. Tbe Peninsular Railroad ' to rufl from some point on the Florida T Railroad, to Tampa Bay, is chartered, ind will lie an important line. A rood r rom some point neai Tallahassee, to White Bluff, at East Pass, above Aapn lachicola, is also strongly talked of, and will probably be put on foot the present year. It is thought by its friends, that it will offer a more expeditious route to New Orleans than the Cedar Keys route, while East Pass affords a harbor unsur passed on the coast. My stay at the Mclropolis of Florida has been more protracted, that I at first designed, but the time has been spent so pleasantly, and so profitably withal, that I do not regret jthe solicitation of friends that induced me to tarry over my allotted time. I find most genial and agreeable society here, and indeed I know of every few towns of similar size anywhere presenting more substan- ' tial attractions, of both a business and social character. I visited the Stase House to day, and was shown through its apartments by 1 C. H. Ai stiu, Esq., the gentlemanly and accomplished State Treasurer, to whom ■ lam indebted for valuable documents in reference to the grants of land to the railroads. I also had the pleasure of 1 making the acquaintance of F. L. Yir- Liriouß. Esq., the able and efficient Sec retary of State; whose name is also mentioned quite freely among the poli ticians, as a candidate for Congress at : the next election, which comes off in 1860. I formed the acquaintance of several interesting and promising young attorneys, but as they are readers of the Dispatch. I will not shock the mod esty for which the profession is prover bial, by introducing their names. I cannot forbear to acknowledge 'the courtesies received at the hands of our brethren of the Floridian Jonm il, and of the Sentinel, and I am happy to learn that both papers are in a prosperous condition. They enjoy the public printing on equal terms, a precedent that ought to he established at the seat of government in every State, where facilities are afforded for doing it promptly. There are two hotels in Tallahassee— the City Hotel, by J. L. Demillf.y, an excellent house—and the Planter’s Ho tel by Mr. Fishek. I enclose fifteen new daily subscribers to the Dispatch from this city, which in addition to the large number who were . before tailing the paper here, renders 1 this the fourth city in point of patrons • to my bantling, out of Augusta. I go 1 hence to St. Marks, Newport, Monticel lo, &c.— in pursuit of more subscribers g and more ammunition for my Beige at * the time and patience of our good read lers. A. A person calling himself Akoesotn, and supposed to be the one who ob tained $4,100 on a forged check from Messrs. Button & Enders of Richmond, Va., has been arrested in Boston. The murdering mania has extended to the Land of steady habits. On Monday a man named Colson at Hart ford, Conn., deliberately cut his wife’s throat and afterwards poisoned himself with opium. Four men were stabbed by a gang of rowdies in Boston on Sun day. The trial of Terrel for the poisoning of three men *t Bennettsville, S. C., has been postponed to the fall term of the Court. It is proposed to make the attempt to introduce into this country the Cincho na Tree, from the bark of which qui- i nine is extracted, into this country.— The tree is a native of South America. I The New Orleans Crescent of the 14th < contains a list of 42 ships, laden with ( over 100,000 bales of cotton detained ] by inability to pass the bar at the j mouth of the Mississippi. The trade of New Orleans will be vitally injured un- < less efficient measures are soon taken to deepen the water on the bar. Great complaints having been made i in Massachusetts against the liquors ’ kept by the State Agents, a proposition is before the Legislature to appoint a ' tatting committee to report on the qnali- ' ty of the liquors. Congress does this business better, liquors are tasted by a committee of the whole. Gen. Haskell, well known as one of the most eloquent men of the South died at the Lunatic Asylum in Hop kinsville, Ky., on the 13th inst. The Columbus Sun of yesterday says, we understand a gang of thirty odd African negroes arrived in our city yesterday evening on the four o’clock 1 train. Tbo-steamer Morton, belonging to the 1 U. S. Government, was entirely con sumed by fire, on the Arkansas river, j 10th instant. Cargo of 800 bales of j hay, as well as vessel, a total loss. Inhumanity.— The Baltimore Clipper says, that a short time since, one of the tunnels on the Ohio & Baltimore Rail road gave way, entirely obstructing the passage of the trains. Several hundred laborers were engaged to remove the obstructions. So dangerous was the work that, dapiy, some of the workmen weee.crushed #» l killed. The hills is the neighborhood were dotted with their graves. Yet the Company had the 1 weanem, after thanork was finished and the workmen desired to return to their i homes, to compel them to pay full price 1 °f fare «Mo the Overflowing coffers of 1 the Company. Truly has it been said that corporations have neither souls to be saved, nor bodies to be kicked. „ . mr In New Hampshire tbe Republi cans have elected their Governor. Good win, whose majority over Abe Demo cratic -candidate, Cate, will foot up about MW. Small gains on the demo- j cratic side *.f the Legislature are report ed. Smith 0 Brietf never “crooks his el bow.' He politely refused to drink their Jersey cider i.n New York, stating that he had not swallowed anything of an intoxicating nature for tffenty-fire years. A correspondent of the Charles ton Courier, says that the President has informed several Senators who are in Washington and desired from him an early decision of the question of an ex tra session, that he was in favor of call ing Congress together on the first of August. That was, he said, the earliest day on which all the States could be represented. He further stated that the question would be decided in the Cabi • net on the 15th. If the first of August is the day fixed on, there will be ample time for the elections in Georgia—so political aspirants and their friends had better set about putting their machine ry in order. A N/ce Man. —A clergyman named j Watson, accused of counterfeiting, was j arrested at Glen wood, lowa, while preach ing a funeral sermon. The congrega tion resisted the officers, but surrender ed him after the services were conclu ded. In his house a large amount of bogus money was found. He says he joined the counterfeiters to get money j to “do good with.” The four men condemned to be hung at Baltimore on the 18th have been respited until the Bth of April. .— Sill Congressional District. The Augusta Dispatch of the 10th in stant, has an article recommending James T. Nisbet, Fsq., editor of the Cfnstdu'd-nalist, as a suitable person to . fill ti e vacancy occasioned by the re tirem.’itof Mr. Stephens from the seat ' which fie he has so long and signally adorned. Without disparagement to the other gentlemen named in the sane \ connection, and, we trust, without sub jecting ourselves to the imputation of officious interference with the affairs not within oar “bailiwick,” we cannot fore- ' go the opportunity to observe that the 1 favorable notice of the Dipatch is fully ' justified by the integrity and talents of i Mr. Nisbet, and that it will meet with the readiest endorsement of those who j know him best. In no position in which he has been placed whether as a lawyer or a Jour nalist (and none will deny that the test is severe in either) has Mr. Nisbet failed to sustain himself in a manner highly creditable to himseif and no less grati fying to his friends ; and should he ever enter upon the walks of public life, we hazard nothing in predicting that he will, under all ciicumstances, prove j himself fully equal to the requirements of the occasion. In private life, Mr. Nisbet is a gentleman—which is a short way of saying that he is just, honest, and firm- and these qualities, when car tied into Congress, are of themselves enough to distinguish their possessor. The inane charges which have been late ly made as to his political antecedents, i we dismiss as unworthy of notice. In , the first place, we have no idea that ■ they are true ; and in the second place, if they are true, they have no conceiva- hie bearing upon the present state of things. We presume no sensible man has any doubt that Mr. Nisbet is, and has been for several years back, fully identified with the Democratic party, and just as little that he daily displays marked ardor and ability as the con ductor of one of its leadiog organs.— This is enough for us, and, we have no doubt it will be enough for the people of the Bth District, should he ever so licit their suffrages. Os this latter eveut, however, we have no expecta tion—at least for the present. Mr. Nisbet has too many attractions at home, to be dazzled by the false glare of public honors.— Ma:on Stale Press. A Modest Christian.— A young man, a member of au evangelical church, ad vertises in a New York paper for board iu a pious family, where his Christian example would be considered a compen sation. A Washington letter says that the late homicide has had a perceptible good ef fect in making men more courteous to each other. About one murder each pession would possibly keep the mem bers of Congress in decent manners, if it did not help their morals. The steamer Fulton, of the Paraguay expedition, liaß a tremendous 11 inch Dahlgren gun with which she was go ing to roll big balls all over the pampas, but unfortunately the storeships forgot to briug the carriage, which lies in the Norfolk Yard. Two Americans, one of them from Richmond, Va., while in Cuba, a few weeks since, visited the spot where Lieut. Crittenden, of the Lopez expedi tion was shot, and erected a marble monument to his memory. A State in Mourning.— The New Or leans Picayune speaks of Louisiana as a : “State in mourning,” consequent upon ! the explosion of the steamer Princess, i It says, “there is scarcely a community f from which some one of the lost is not ! missing, or to it known by his social virtues.’’ The fatality among promi nent citizens was remarkable, and the State may well mourn its loss. Suits are about to be commenced by the Cherokees who were driven from Texas many years ago, for the lands granted to them by Mexico. These lands compose the richest and the most fertile portion of Epstern Texas. The Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, of the latest date, says that the surviving Cherokees have employed able counsel to conduct the business for them. The Five Per Cent. Loan.— The Sec retary of the Treasury has notified the successful bidders for the late five per cent, loan that they need make no further deposits for the stock (unless they choose to do so) until called for ; the government not requiring the mo ney at the present time. It is thought that no demand will be made before midsummer. Unrequited love induced a Danish sailor to (take half a teaspoonfull of arsenic daily for a week, and lately three ounces of laudanum to kill him-1, self. He w/Mitaken to the New York hospital, and threatens to live. A Dec heard jKatsn up by Rattli snaxm.—The bodfajf a vagrant Scotch- 1 man was found a few clays since, on Flat Rock, near West Chacy. Clinton county, i New \ork. Near the spot where the. remains lay, in a large .chasm or ledge of rocks, that has been known as the den of a great number of rattlesnakes, and from the trails leading be tween the ' oorpse and the rocks, it is evident that the unfortunate man was killed by the serpents. The flesh was litterally nick ed from the bones. It is supposed'that the poor fellow wandered to the spe t, aod falling down in a state of uncon- j| doueness, became an easy prey to the ( * reptiles.
