For the Courier'
Mb. Editor:—An impression scorns to
have bcon created upon the minds of tho
people of this,community, that Col. Rout.
Jemison of Tuscaloosa, Ala., was instrumen
tal in the recent reduction of the mail service
from this place to Gunter’s Landing, from
Four-horse Post Coaches to spring wngons.
I, therefore, sincerely hope that you will pub-
lish the accompanying letters, that Col. Jem-
ison, who is looked upon, wherever known,
as an upright and honorable gentleman, inny
be placed in a proper light before this com
munity. Yours, &c.

Sin :—Tho Postmaster General instructs
me to say in reply to tho application of W.
». SMmr, J. M. Peck, and others of Rome,
to’ have the service on tho Guntor’s Landing
foutff restored (O’ four horse coach convey
ance, that the original acceptance was made
in that mode at $3700 per mmum, to J. G.
I Totten—that on his refusal, it was offered to
,f, E. Heeside at his bid of $3870, for simi
lar mod® of conveyance; that on his r?fusnl to
lake the route, it was offered to J. it. Powell
at $5970, for such grade of transportation,
which was $1710 advance on his allow aneo
under the last cnntrnct. He refused to car
ry at that prico and failed also to put in a
modified hid, hut curried, temporarily, about
four months, uiidpr employ of the Post Mas-
•cr at Gunior’s Landing, at $9360 n year ;
a sum greater than the law authorised to bo
made to the second class of rail rouds. Tho
Department having no other bids on its files,
except a proposition from Mr. Jemison to
carry at $5970 under a star-bid fwhich
would suffice for mail purposes) judged it a
matter of propriety, if not of almost sheer ne
cessity, to contract with him. Such were
the circumstances that induced the Depart
ment to make the contract, now objected to,
with M.\ Jemison. As the law of 1845, re
ducing postage, &c., makes it the duly of the
Post Master General in all future IcUings of
mnil contracts to “let the same,in every case,
to the lowosl bidder tendering sufficient guar
anties for faithful performance, without oth
er reference lo^thq mode of nucli transporta
tion than may be necessary to provide for the
due celerity, certainty, und security of such
transportation;” which objects are provided
for by the acceptance to Mr. Jemison, he does
not feel at liberty to order the improvement
requested by the petitioners at an incease
of mail pay.

Mv Dear Brother :—I got your letter,
and having examined the Petition to which
you refer, I trudged through the ruin on Sa
turday to see the Post Mnstor Genera], nnd
had a long conversation with him. He pro
mised an answer, nnd it accompanies this.—
From his statement, as well as (rom the pa
pers in tho office, it appears that ho had no
deposition to discontinue tho four horse post
Conches, hut has been forced to it by the
conduct of Mr. Powell nnd the other bid
ders. When he hnd offered the contract in
succession to tho soveral biddors, beginning
nt the lowest, ns the law required, nnd end
ing with Mr. Powell tho highest, and nil of
them hnd refused, he had no alternative but
to make the best contract he could, nod
having made that contract, he has no pre
tence for breaking it, so long ns the mail is
carried “ with celerity, certainty nnd securi
ty,” ns required by law. Tho truth seemB
to be thnt Mr. Powell has bcon endeavoring
to force tho Post Mnstor General to pay an
nm“unt greater than such mail transporta
tion would authorise, nnd greater than he
hnd offered himself to carry, it for, nnd has
thus verified tho maxim, that “ He losos all
who grasps too much;” by which not only
he, but the community, are put to incon
venience. 1 really do not soc any remedy
for this, unless Mr. Powell, who is more in
terested than any body else, and who has
occasioned the embarrassment will make
terms with Mr. Jemison, nnd get nn assign
ment of his contract. The Post Master
General will bo willing to pny tho same prico
to Mr. Powell for carrying the mnil in n four
horse conch; and there seems to be good rea
son why he should do so. 1 . Because that
was the amount of his own bid. 2. Because
it was a higher price thnn he had carried it
for before. 3. because the transportation of
passengers on this pnrt of tho line, is neces
sary to keep up his own line boyood Ur—
4. Because the' embarrassment to the com
munity, results from his act. And 5. Be
cause there is a proposal strongly urged up.
Post, Master General to change the
.mail round to Chattanoo-'-
Writing on a subject! of public - concern to
your community, I dfo not mingle any other
with it—but I am always
Your affectionate brother,

Climate, 8oU and Produotioni of South Florda.
The Joint Committee on the climato, sail
nnd productions of South Florida, made the
following report :
• •. * • • • *
The climate of South Florida may he at
once set down as the most desirable winter
climate in the United States, presenting to
the invalid ofthe North a desirable retreat
from the rude blast peculiar to that region.
The Miami, on Key Hiscnyne Bay, and Key
West, may bo considered as most dosirable
points fur establishing the necessary facilities
for the encouragement of visitors oftliat clnss,
numbers of whom nnnually go on to Culm,
and other Wesi India Islands but who would
ho induced to stop in Florida, were there
proper accommodations. No places possess
greater advantages for fishing, boating, &c.,
than hose mentioned. At Maimi,on Key Bis-
cayno Bay, has been stationed, during the
pnsl eighteen months, a company of United
Btntes troops, nnd it has been n matter of sur
prise to the surgeon that ho has had no case
of sickness among the soldiers during all that
time. The inhabitants, some of whom have
resided therefor many years, are all grateful
witnesses of the remarkable henlthfulness of
;j;at vicinity ; nnd although the summers are
warm, the aii during the entire day, is fan
ned by the easterly winds prevailing in that
season, and rendering it comfortable for the
laborors to pursue thoir vocations nt nil times.
Tho writer would here remark, that this
clnss of men, of whom he employs many, arc
universally more healthy and robust than in
any other region be lias any acquaintance
with. This, in connection with other and
peculinr advantages, make it oniplialicnlly
the home of the man ol slender means and
enterprising disposition.
Dado County, stretching along the Atlan
tic seaboard between lat. 25 and 26 degrees,
possesses nn excellent harbor for vessels
drnwing 9 feet water, with a light house at
its entrance, on Cape Florida, marking the
channel into the bay, ('Key Biscayne), which
extends fur a distance of thirty miles in a
northerly nnd southerly direction. Numer
ous streams discharge into it from the Ever-
glndes.on all of which is water-power, con
trolled generally nt no groat expense, with
a full of about five feet, which may be em
ployed for Arrow Root or Lumber Mills.—
The necessary supplies for running either,
are to be found directly on tho banks of tho
streams. The land on the West sido of the
bay is gently elevated, commanding a de
lightful view in many places. An opening
directly through the Keys to tho Gulf, ena
bles vessels to bo seen in their course north
or south. These points ore desirable places
lor building, und in the immediate vicinity is
found a spontaneous growth of Arrow Hoot,
inviting the man of enterprise to avail him
self of the water-power so abundant, or of n
small steam engine or horse-power, with
which ho may with little difficulty or ex
pense, prepare for market an article yielding
one hundred dollars to the acre. This may
create a sensation of doubt in tho minds of
some, and may suggest the enquiry, if such
he the case, why has it so long remnined
unknown, and the country comparatively un
occupied ? To this the writer will attempt
no reply, further than to allude to the neigh
borhood of that curse of Florida, the Semi
nole Indians, and thnt Dade County has been
the scene ofblood encounter and masacre.
The Southern portion of this County com
prises numerous Keys, stretching along the
Florida Reefs and terminating at Tortugas,
in Monroe County ; nnd it may not be amiss
here to remark, that tho reservation of these
Keys liy the General Government is calculat
ed greatly to relnrd the growth of that por
tion of our Slato. They should be open to
settlement und be subject to pre-emption
claims as all other public lands, nnd soon n
hardy enterprising people will occupy them
producing plants peculiarly adapted to their
light vogetablosoi). Those plants are clear
ly pointed out by nature’s unerring hand,
wlteie-ever the original growth is cleared
away, by the spontaneous growth of the Bird
Popper and the Gherkin in the greatest pro
fusion, both extensively in demand for Pick
ling. On these Keys nlono may be raised a
sufficient quantity to supply our entire home
market, for which large quantities are annu
ally imported from Alrica, South America,
&c. They are in bearing the entire yeRr,
and yield a perpetual harvest.
The Palma Christy, the plant front which
Costor Oil is made, peculiarly adapted to
this kind of soil and climate grows continu
ously for about four years, nnd becomes n
large tree, in constant bearing, ripening its
rich clusters of beans in such profusion, that
from some experiments made by the writer,
he is satisfied that one hundred bushels may
bo made annually from nn acre, and their
product of Oil two gallons per bushels. An
enterprising citizen ol Key West, is about to
establish machinery for engaging in the busi
ness, nnd it may be safely predicted that
Castor Oil wilt become an important staple
product of South Florida, its climate secur
ing to the cultivator so great an advantage
over regions where tho plant is merely an
annual.
Tho Sisal Hemp plant is growing through
out these Counties, and is natural to the
whole southern part of the Peninsula.—
With the aid of labor saving Machine, in
dressing out the fibre, nnd manufacturing the
hemp, thtre is no doubt it could be made a
profitable pursuit even in competition with
the native labor of Mexico.
, The Florida Keys' furnish nn immense
field for the manufacture of that great neces
sary of life, Salt, which is Dow made upon a
1,7 lift iu^ck estimablfe citizen of Key
nually shipped from Key West to New Or
leans and other markets, where a constant
deirnnd exists for all that is made, and at a
price that has enabled the proprietor to es
tablish it ns a permanent businens, that may
be largely extended. Many of the Koys in
the vicinity present the same advantages os
the one referred to, nnd with the necessary
capital, any man of enterprise nnd persever-
ence would hero find a chance for investment
that could not fail of socuring a just row nrd
for his efforts, while to the State the rosults
are of immense importance in view of the
great consumption of an article which mny
he produced to an extent so unlimited within
our borders.
The enliro region of pine woods from
Cape Sable to near Indian River, presents a
bountiful growth of Comply, the root from
which the Arrow Root is nrnde, nnd It mny
be claimed that its importance to the Staloof
Flnridn is second to no other plant ndaplcd
to her sod and climate. One of its peculinr
characteristics Is that re-production, without
core of planting, ns the scattered seed nnd the
pnrts ol roots leli in '.lie earth in the process
o( digging, shoot forth, and in two years,
without any cme, present a more bountiful
growth thnn the original. Doubtless tho qual
ity nnd amount of the roots would be improv
ed by cultivation, and ns tho plant is suscep
tible of introduction in nil the pine Innds
South of twenty-eight nnd perhaps thirty de
grees, experiments are recommended, with
the view to extend nnd secure to Florida, nt
the earliest day, the great advantages prom
ised by the growth of this plant, It is pro
posed to forward to tho Agricultural Board at
Tallahassee, for distribution, a sufficient
quantity of seed that each of the Middle nnd
Southern Counties may make the trial, and
in tho month of April they may he expect
ed, whi n they mny be planted at any period
of the summer. The manufacture of Arrow
Root at Miami Ims now become nn estab
lished business, yielding to the conductor,
with the aid of necessary machinery, three
dollnrs per day ns the result of each man’s
labor, with a ready mnrket for all that is
made; nnd as the production and consump
tion has gieatly increased during the past
year, we hazard nothing in predicting thnt
they will continue to an so until this shall
become ono of the most important products
of the Stale. Its quality ns starch is well
ascertained to bo superior to that produced
from either wheat, corn or potatoes, vast
quantities of all of which are yearly consum
ed in the manufacture of that nocessnry arti
cle; and when it shnll become known that
an acre of our poor pine land will produce ns
much starch from this plant as can he ob
tained from a similar surface from either
wheat, corn, or potatoes, the growth of the
best lands ofthe North, it will be clearly seen
that capital nnd labor must always find a
certain and prnlilnblo investment in this
branch of industry so peculiar to our climate.
****•«•
Much valuable timber for ship building
and cabinet \\ ork is growing in South Flori
da, such ns the Live Oak, Dogwood. &c.,
much of which is annually used at Key
West, where many small vessels havo been
built during the past year. Mangrove is nn
abundant growth, nnd furnishes excellent
timber for constructing foundations in water
for wharves and other structures, whilst the
bark is an excellent substance for tanning
leather or for dyeing. Box Wood, Mastic,
Satin Wood, Crab Wood, nnd Lignumvitic,
are all found in quantities throughout the
Key and the Southern part of the State gen
erally.
Indigo, of spontaneous growth, is (ound
throughout a largo portion of the State, and
is extensively manufactured and used in fam
ilies, hut does not appear to have been any
effort made to introduce it ns an nrticle of
commerce. As the plant is peculini to our
pine woods soil, its importance deserves
some experiment, to ascertain if it may he
profitably cultivated mid manufactured.—
Will not some enterprising citizen give the
subject tho necessary attention ?
The various tropical fruits arc all adapted
to this southern portion of Florida, nnd many
of them can bo mude profitable for export—
such us the Lime, Gauvn, Citron, Lemon
and Cocoa-nut. The Lime is now an abun
dant crop, and shipments of them to Charles
ton nnd Savannah have netted twenty dol
lars to tho bnrrel. The product per acre
may safely he estimated at thirty barrels.—
Preserves made from tho three first named
fruits are always in demand, nnd may be
prepnred for mniket extensively. The Pine
apple is successfully cultivated at Indian
River nnd other places, but as it requires a
peculinr soil, it is confined to ceitnin locali
ties. Many points of this region aro adapt
ed to the Plantain, Banana, Orange, &c.,
where future efforts, governed by experience
and discretion, will doubtless cause them to
become established products,
• »»•«»*
The Banana, the Plantain, and various
other fruits are being successfully cultivated
at variouspoints, and when we lakeinto con
sideration tho fact that the soil of South
Florida is so various, presenting hero a black
vegetable mould, there a yellow clay soil,
and again light sandy loam, or clear sand,
it will nt once be seen that where so largo in
portion of tho surface remains untried, it is
difficult to attach to seperntc localities of
this great and extended field, the importance
which they may justly claim. Your Com
mittee will stale, however, that where this
lucious fruit, the Banana, has succeeded
best, at New River, Indian River, Miami,
Key West, and other places, it has always
been ndeep, rich vegetable soil, not too dry,
and in all such soils, in any Counties south
of 28 deg,, it will undoubtedly bocomo n
profitable atticle of cultivation. In view of
the large quantity' of this fruit annually im
ported! it’Is recommended that moro strenu
ous eiTot-ts be made to introduce and extend
herevi
a large amount of soil adapted to the plant,
nnd mny wo not confidently look forwnrd to
the period tvhon so great u luxury shall ha
furnishod to the neighboring cities from our
own Stme.

old pilot, by name Serur, visi’ed her for
several successive days, remaining eijcli time
long onough under water to saw bfftlio cop.
per bolls which projected from her timhors.
This man- also spoilt much time “within the
bowels ofthe vasty dcop,” diving for.thp
black coral. All his sons were equally " ex
port as swimmers nnd divers. None -of the
divers stand in rr.ueh dread of the sharks,
which are occasionally very numerous nnd
voracious amidst the reefs. Merely arming
themselves with a knile, which is strung by
a loop to the wrist, they precipitate them
selves fearlessly to tho bottom.
In some parts seals are plentiful; nnd tjipy
are usually caught entangled in tho upper
part of the reof. In order to discern them
when in this situation, a man is stationed nt
the innst-beud, with bis feet supported by a
piece of wood secured between two ropes
that answer as shrouds. A species, called
by the seamen devil-fish, nnd turtle, aro like
wise discovered in a similar manner. The
Intter, which an expert diver will catch,
even when the animal is nwnro uf his ap
proach, is usually secured by casting a noose
over its head—the fisherman approaching
from bohind, nnd holding it by one of tho
sido-fish, while he is placing the ropes.
It is sometimes very exciting to sco the
capture of a devil-fish. On one occnsion, a
couple being perceived on a calm day swim-
ing around the vessel one of the small boats
was immediately lowered, nnd a harpoon fix
ed on a staff six feet in length, with several
fathoms of rope nttnehed to it, was placed in
her,.this the fisherman grasped in his hand,
holding tho weapon near the water, as he
stood immovable in the boat The prey al
lowed the boat to approach so close, that
the latter was placed over the spot where
the fish were swimming,at the depth ofthree
or four feet ; and then the fisherman sprung
out, directing the point of his weapon down
wards, and putting his whole weight to it,
to add force to the blow, ho pierced u fish
through and through, then rocoveiing him
self as quick as possible, he scrambled into
the boat, while the wounded fish, after milk
ing two or throe circuits, darted off in a
straight direction, aud at a quicker rule.—
The boatman had nothing to aobut to watch
its course, and manage the helm accordingly;
so thnt after a quarter of an hour’s chase the
poor fish became thoroughly oxhausted, and
it was conveyed along-sido. Its form is
nearly circular, measuring at the widest part
between sovon and eight feel. The skin is
considered valuable, and an oil of excellent
quality is said to be drawn from their liv-
rs.
Abolition Sympathy-
Going home from the cars last evening, we
overtook on the road a thinly clad negro man,
nppearenlly forty years of age,' whose stag
gering gait indicated extreme wretchedness.
As we enmo up behind him in the pathway,
we hailed him with, “Hurry up, my old
friend 1 You will freeze to death if you don’t
step along faster and get home soon.”
“Ah master I” said he, “1 can’t get along
any faster, I is very poor—1 been sick and is
very bud, master ; if master would please
give me a little suthin—just a little, mas^
ter ?” ,
Tho manner of snyin "master” was so un
like our free negroes that we stopped in' pas
sing him, and putting a small' coin into his
trembling linnd, said, *4 am sorry for you
and sorry that you have not what you ought
to have—a good master to take core of you.”
Ho stoppod shotl and looked up, with great
emphasis replied, “it would l.e n blessed
tiling, master, a blessed thing.”
We asked him where he lived, and he told
us nnd suid that he had been out to gel work
nnd n little money, which lie very much
needed. “Why,” wo continued, “did you
not work hard during the summer and lay
up enough for cold weather ?”
“1 did work nil summer, master, but I
didn’t get enough to last no time when win-
tercamc. Oh master, 1 am very bad.”
This now is not at all an uncommon case ;
there are thousands about our city in the
same distressed circumstances, to wluiin
master would be a “blessed thing.”
The Aboliti snists could spend a thousand
dollnrs to help Henry Long mid thirty thou
sand more to aid the thief Chaplin ; but for
the poor among them, the starving nnd dis
tressed free negro about their own doors, they
have no sympathy. Verily, they shall have
