Scenes in FLORIDA, from the celebrated Ornithologist* Bi lowville, East Florida, * December 31, 1831. My Dear F.—I have just returned from an expedition down the Halifax river, about forty miles from this place, and eighty south of St. Augustine. 1 feel confident that an account of it will be interesting to you; and I therefore set to. Mr. J. J. Ilulow, a rich planter, at whose house myself and party have been a whole week, under the most hospitable welcome was as light as our hearts. All went on merri ly until dark night came on. The wind freshen ing, the cold augmenting, the provisions dimin ishing, the waters lowering, all—all depreci ating, except our enterprising dispositions. We found ourselves fast in the mud, about three hundred yards from a marshy shore, without the least hope of being able to raise a fire, for ' the labor necessary to produce a good crop is no trees except palm trees were near, and tho j great! great!! great!!! Between the swamps of grand diablc himself could not burn one ofi which I now speak, and which are found along them. Our minds were soon made up to do— j the margin laying west of the sea.inlet that what? Why, to roll ourselves in our cloaks, ; divides the mainland from the Atlantic, to the and to lav down, the best way we could, at the ! river St. John, ot the interior ol tho peninsula, j bottom of our light and hcautilul barque. Good nothing exists but barren pine lands of poor God, what a night! to sleep was impossible; the timber, and immense savannas, mostly over- | cold increased with the breeze, and every mo. 1 flowed, and all unfit for cultivation. Thut mont seemed an hour, from the time we stretch-! growth, which in any other country is called ; cd ourselves down until the first glimse of the : underwood, scarcely exists; the land beiog morn: but the morn came, clear as ever morn | covered with low palmeitocs, or very low, was, and the northeaster as cold as ever the j thickly branched dwarf oaks, almost impenefra- wind blew in this latitude. All hands half dead, ; hie to man. The climate is of a most unsettled and masters as nearly exhausted as the hands; ; nature, at least at this season. The thermometer stiffened with cold, light clothed, and hut slight I has made leaps from thirty to ninety degrees in j hope of our nearing any shore, our only resort ! twenty-four hours: cold, warm, sandy, muddy, J was, to leap into the mire, waist deep, and to watery—all these varieties may be felt and seen j push the barque to a point, some five or six in one day’s travelling. i hundred yards, where a few scrubby trees seem- | I am extremely disappointed in this portion ed to have grown, to save our lives on this occa- of the Floridas, and would not advise any one j sion. “Push, hoys, push!—push for your | to visit it, because he may have read ihe flowery [lives!” cried the generous Bulow and poor accounts of preceding travellers. The climate I Audubon—“all hands, push!” Ay, and well is much more unsteady than in Louisiana, in the j might we push; the mire was up to our breasts, j same latitude, or any where along the Mexican i our limbs becoming stiffened, and almost useless, ! gulftothe Sabine river, which is our boundary i at every step wo took. Our progress was as line. Game and fish, it is true, are abundant; slowly performed as if we had been clogged hut the hod}' of valuable tillable land is too with heavy chains. It took us two and a half small to enable the peninsula ever to become a hours to reach the point where the few trees of richstate. i which I have spoken were; but, thank God, we I have seen nothing deserving your attention j did got there. j in a geological point of view, except quarries of IVe landed!! and well it was that we did; ; stones which are a concrete of shells, excellent for, on reaching the margin of the marsh, two ! for building, and laying immediately under the of the negroes fell down in the mud, as sense- | surface of the sand, which every where seems less as torpidity ever rendered an alligator or a to predominate.

We had them carried into th^ little grove, to which, I believe, all of us owe Our lives. I struck a fire in a crack; and, in five minutes, 1 saw, with indescribable pleasure, the bright, warm ing blaze of a log pile in the centre of our shivering party. We wrapped the negroes in their blankets, boiled some water, and soon had 1 some tea; made them swallow it, and with care i revived them into animation. May God pre- j serve you from being ever in the condition of; our [>arty at this juncture; scarcely a man able ! to stand, and the cold wind blowing as kecnlv forward to you, showing the different grades or ages of their formation* The fragments are cut out of the quarries with the common wood axe, and fashioned with the same instrument for buildings. You, of course, will readily make out that the water found in the neighbor hood of all concretes is hard or calcareous, being filtered through a kind of natural shell lime. I have done hut little, I am sorry to say, in my way. Birds are certainly not abundant here days since, that wc should proceed down the | river, in search of new or valuable birds; and ! accordingly, tho boat, six hands, and “three white men” with some provisions, put off, with a fair wind and a pure shy. I say a pure sky, ■ because not n cloud interrupted the rich blue of the heavens in Ms generally favored latitude. We meandered down the creek for about cloven ami hirkory lend, of second quality, in Troup county, being i miles—ihe water nearly torpid, yet clear—the 1 ' t ' r '- - ‘ ’ shore Jiued with thousands of acres covered by fall grapes, marshes, and high pahn trees, ren dering the shore quite novel to my anxious eye. Some birds were shot, and secured so as to be brought hack, in order to undergo the skinning operation. Before long we entered the Halifax river, an inland arm of the sea, measuring in breadib, Crorn a quarter to nearly a mile.
