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.

MACPHERSON BERRIEN. J. W. >1. RERRIBH, ESQ. 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.

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 their reward 1—N. Y.
