Rome courier. Climate. Soil and Productions of South Florida. Continued from our Last. Cocaa-nutsuro found lo be adapted to near ly all our varities of soil, and may be raised in the greatest abundance with the necessa ry care of planting This article has been sadly overlooked, for the reason that the plant requres some nine years growth before it yields any fruit. But this should never be considered as a reason why it should be neg lected. Let every person who clears a piece of ground put into it a few of these valua ble plants, and in a few years we shall find them important ns a source of revenue to the State. Neighborhoods near tho salt water are found most desirable for them, and in these locations they will soon, by the rapid unfolding of their elegant fan-like leaves, and beauty to the scene, and at the propssr time, n never fniling, and almost never ending source of profit will be the result. In regard to the culture of Sugar in South Florida, it is well known that tho seasons are nt least from four to six weeks longer, than in the best sugar lands of Louisiana and Mississippi, which had been considered the best in the United States, but owing to the liability of frosts it has been conceded that they lose one crop out of overy four, for in what they consider n favorable season, they are compelled to commence grinding their cane early in October, nnd before the cane matures. In the Counties of Levy, Hernan do, Orange nnd Hillsborough, ("to say noth ing of the Counties further South where the season is still later J they do not commence grinding until the last part of November, and at the last season the planters on the Mani- tee did not finish until the middle of Febru- ary, giving them three months to gather their Sugar Crops in. A planter last year made on the Manitee 30,000 lbs. of sugar from 10| acres. The cane matures and tas sels there every season, which is conclusive proof, th at no other part of the United States possesses the same advantages for the cul ture of enne. Thoro is beyond a doubt in the Counties of Levy, Hernando, Ornnge and Hillsborough, nt least 170,000 acres of the best sugar hinds in the United States; entirely uncultivated. Your cuiTimitlGe feel that they have al ready made this communication of a some hat lengthy character, yet they are con*^””,. strained, Tn justice to two other branches of employment, in prosecution of which South Florida has n large interest, to devote some further spuco to n cursory glance at their respective merits and ndvanlnges. The first is the great interest of Cattle raising. Al ready has this branch become of great im portance. nnd may be greatly extended, for which there is abundant range in the lower Counties. In soma of these Counties there are nu cattle at nil, ns in Dade, although the —. range is of the freshest kind during the en- Tftre year. A most desirable mnrket for largo numbers can he hud at the Bahamas, and West India Islands, nod at Koy West. The proximity ot Miami (with nil excellent har bor,) to these places, would give a very great advantage in supplying those markets with beef, not only on account of the dis tance nnd expense, but the beef would be in much belter condition than alter the long passage now made from Tampa, Pensacola, NewOrlenns, and other places, from which their supply is now obtained. The Commit tee mnkc the suggestion in the hope that persons who now have large stocks in the Northern Part of the Slate and in Georgia, may profit thereby, ns the price of cattle in those Island markets may he estimated ut twenty dollars pet bend for two year old s'tqers, and thirty to forty dollars for those three years and'upwards. It is presumed liv the Committee that at the present session of the General Assembly an appropriation will he made to open a road from Indian Riv er to that point, when all the difficulties now existing will ho romoved, nnd cattle will doubtless soon he driven there, very many of which would find a ready snle to persons settled at that place, who are now entirely without any, owing to the great difficulty of penetrating the hummocks and crossing the streams which intersect the entire region from the Miami to Hillsborough River. In a country where the best of pine tim ber is growing in such abundance, nnd whose geographical features present such great ad vantages for transporting it to mnrket, it would be superfluous for this committee to dwell upon its importance as furnishing a ready and certain reward for tho investment of capital and Inhor, either in converting it into lumber, or in tho production of Turpen tine. It is remarked, with some degree of pride, that our State is exporting considera ble lumber and turpentine, hut where one is engaged in either of these branches of busi ness, there should lie at least twenty. There is ample room and scope for this increase, and with our rel|{jy access to the coast, this should be the greatest exporting State for these two important articles of commerce in the Union There has never been devo ted to these important branches of industry any thing like the attention they demand, and our Stale is still sadly in want of saw mills throughout hor length nnd breadth, save perhaps at one or two points, as at Pensacola and Jacksonville. With the abundant supply of timber, w-e hope soon to see enterprising men engage in reaping the hnrvest tlinl is presented every where throughout South Florida, whero there is not at this day, wilhi',1 the knowledge of this committee, a solitary saw-mill. Turpentine making is receiving some at tention in the Western part o! the State, where its profits are so large ns to draw ofi attention from tho culture of cotton, even nt present high prices, and when, w-e consider the enormous consumption of Rozin and Tur pentine, and the large extent to which they may hg produced ip South Florida alone, we need only look to mi accession of laborers in . thisprodnotive field, lor if-to btomne a most - valuable and imnortaut resource of the State. & “ ” '^Ircominittoe have- made industrious- ular elate 1 Florida and the only ouo Within lhhir : adce'srj R is a series ol observations made by the' late Dr. Perrineat Indian, Key, during several vqars following 1330., At’that pluce, in la titude about 25 degrees North, the average range of the thermometer, during a series of years, was found to bo seventy-six degrees, and never descending lo a freezing point.— The entire region, embracing all South of latitude 28 degrees, may be claimed as en tirely exempt from frost. Persons nolv liv ing bt Key West, Miami, Tampa, other pla ces, and who have been may years in Florida have never known a sufficient degree of cold to injure the most delicate plantes. With such mildness of climate, nnd a widely ex tended primitive soil, may wo not expect, os we hove certainly every reason for hope, that South Florida will soon become, what Providence in its wisdom seems so emphati cally to have designed it to he, the Garden of America. Sketches of Western life. COL. ARCHIBALD YELL, OF ARKANSAS. The first case on docket was called, and tho plnntiff stood ready. It was an old case that had been in litigation for five years.— Gen. Smoot arose for the defendant, and re marked in nn overbearing tone : "Our witnesses are absent, and therefore 1 demard that the ense be continued until the next term, in course.” "Let the affidavit be filed, for not till tlieu can I entertain n motion for a continuance,” was the mild reply of the Judge. “Do you doubt my word ns to the facts 1" Gen. Smoot exclaimed sharply, and involun- taiily raised his huge sword cane. “Not at all,” replied the Judge with his blandest smile; “hut the law requires that the facts justifying a continuance must ap pear on record, and the Court has no power to annul the law, nor any will to see it an nulled.” The Judge's culm nnd business like tone and manner only served to irritate the bully, and he retorted, shaking his sword cane in the direction of the bench—“Whatever may be the law, 1, for one, will not learn it Irom the lips of an upstart damagoguo and coward!” Judge Yell’s blue eyes shut lightning; but he only turned to the clerk nnd said quietly —“Clerk, you will enter a lino of fifty dol lars against Gen. Smoot, ns 1 see him named on my docket, for gross contempt of Court; and lie sure you issue an immediate execu- He had hardly communicated the order, when Gen, Smoot was seen rushing towards him brandishing his sword cane, all his fea tures writing with murderous wrath, and pallid ns a cjipso. Every glance was fixed on the counten ance of tho Judge, for ull wished to know how he would brook the coining shock of the duelist’s fierce assault. But none, how ever, could detect tlio slightest change in his nppearance. His cheeks grew niether ref nor white, nor n nerve seemed to tremble' his culm eye surveyed the advancing foe, with ns little sign of perturbution as a chem ist might show scrutinizing tho elfervesence of some novel mixture. He sat perfectly still, with a little staff of painted iron in his right hand. Smoot ascended the plntform oud immedi ately aimed a tremendous blow with his en- urinous sword cane, full at tho head of iiis foe. At that blow five hundred hearts shud dered, and more than a dozen voices shriek ed, fur all expected lo see the victim’s skull shivered into atoms The general astonish ment then may be conceived, when, they beheld tho little iron, stall describe a quick curve, as tho great sword cano flew from Smoot’s fingers and foil with a loud clutter at fhe distance of twenty feet in the hall! The Baffled bully uttered a cry of wrath, wild ns that of some wounded beast of prey, and snatched his bowie knife from its sheath, hut ere it was poised for the desperate plunge, the little iron stall cut nnother curve, and the big knila followed the sword cane.— He then hastily drew a revolving pistol, but before he had time to touch the trigger, his arm was stricken powerless by his side. And then for the first time did Judge Yell betray perceptible emotion. He stamped his foot till the platform shook beneath it and shouted in trumpet tones—“Mr. Clerk you will blot this ruffian’s name as u foul disgrace from the roll of attorneys. Mr. Sheriff, take the criminal to jail.” The latter officer sprang to obey the man date, and immediately a scene of ennfusion ensued that no pen could describe. The bravoes and myrmidon friends of Gon. Smoot, gathered round to obstruct the Sheriff, while many of the citizens lent their aid to sustain the authority of the court. Mnnances, screams and horrid curses, tho ring of im pinging and crossing steel, alternate cries of rage and pain, all commingled with the aw ful explosion of firearms, blended together a viyM idea of Pandemonium. But through- ou.. Il tlietempestuous strife, two individuals might bo observed as leaders in the whirl wind and riders of the storm. The new Judge used his little irun cane with terrible efficiency, crippling limbs yet sparing life.— Rill buffuin, imitating the clemency of his honorable friend’disdaining the employment of either knife or pistol actually trampled and crushed down all opposition, roaring at every furious blow—"this is the way to pre serve order in court,”—a sentiment which lie aecompained with wild peals of laughter.— In less than two minutes the party of the Judge triumphed, the clique of Gen. Smoot suffered disastrous defeat, and the bully him? self was borne away lo the prison Sucli was tne debutol Archibald Yeti in Arkansas; and from that day his popularity as a man, as a judge, ns a hero, and as a pol itician, went on rapidly and brilliantly in creasing, till it eclipsed all the oldest and most powerful names. Within the first year of his emigration,.hp became, a candidate for the Governor’s , chair, and,notwithstanding the bitterest opposition, he was elected by ninn-tenthn.of the number of. votes polled.— At the end of jus. term, ho canvassed fpt Congress,and iA# | '°My' , p4l'i,..-*.^tat6 lihja hurri ™- , -Tied of the war wTCT He then resigned, hurried home to Arkansas, aiid raised a regiment of volunteer cavalry, with which lie made ail possible disputcli to the scene of action The writer of the present sketch saw him on his line of march to coalesce with 'he grand army of occupation, and never will he lorget the evening passed by the light or his hospitable camp fire, on Red River, within lii - ~ the limits of Texas. The prophecy of his farewell words rings still on my cars with mornful distinctness. “I go,” said he, with n look of fire, nnd in ^ones of thrilling emphasis, “to make fame Mtat shall be co-extensive with the length and breadth of the Union, or to extinguish life itseif in a blaze of gioiy.” Ho kept his word—he did both. He ar rived on the gory arena in time to witness the magnificent storm of Buena Vistn; and where is the true child of American birth that cannot name the three transcendnnt stnrs of chivalry, Who fell quenched in blood that day ? Aye, who fell, but ns they fell such a parting sun-hurst of cverlnsting sunlight over the field ofglory and of graves? Har din ! Clay! Yell! Pretty Wem. off.—The papers have been speaking of the richest mnn in Virginia. A writer sends to one of them a full account of tho person alluded to. llisimmeis Sam uel Hairston, and ho lives in Pittsylvania. What he is possessed of is thus recorded : When I was in his section a year or two ago, he was the owner of between sixteen and seventeen hundred slavei, in his own right, having but a little while before taken a census. He also has a prospective right to about one thousand slaves more which are now owned by his mother-in-law, Ruth Hairston, he having mnvried her only child. He now has the management of them, which irinkos the number of his slaves reach near three thousand. They increase at the rate of near one thousand every year. A largo number of his plantations are in Henry nnd Palrick counties, Virginia. He has large estates in North Carolina His landed property in Stokes nlonc, is nssessed at six hundred thousand dollars. His wealth js differently estimated at from three to five millions, nnd I should think it was nearer the latter. You think lie has a hard lot; but I assure you Mr. Hairston manages all his matters ns ensy as m ist persons would nn es tate of $10,000. He has everseers who nre compelled to give him a written statement of what is made and spent on each planta tion, and his negroes are all clothed and fed from his own domestic manufacture nnd rais ing, leaving his tobacco crop which is im mensely large ns so much clear gain every' year, besides his increase in negroes, is a for tune itself. And now for his residence. I hnve travel ed over fifteen States of this Union, and hnve never seen any thing comparable to his d nnd garden, except some of them in the ississippi delta—nnd none of them equal it. Mr. Hairston in a plain, unassuming gen tleman, and has never made any noise in the world,though he could vie with the Bruces,the McDunoghs nnd the Astors; nnd strange that while their wenllh is co-extensive with the Union, ho is not known a hundred miles Irom home. I believe he is now the wealthiest man in the Union, ns Win. B. Astor is on ly worth about $4,000,000, and (he estates of city people nre overrated, vvhilo Mr. Hairs ton enn show the property that will bring the rash at any moment. Duel between Randolph and Clay “The night before the duel,” says Gener al J. Hamilton, of South Onroliun, “Mr. Randolph sent for me. 1 found him calm, hut in n singularly kind and confiding mood. He told me that he had something on his mind to tell me. ‘Hamilton, I have deter mined to reaeive, with out returning Clay’s fire ; nothing shall induce tne to linrm a hair on his head ; 1 will not mako his wife a wid ow, or his childred orphans. Their tears would lie siied over ills grave ; but when the sod of Virginia rests on my bosom, there is not in this wide world one individual to pay this tribute upon mine.’ Ills eyes filled, and resting hi* head upon his I and, we remained some moments silent. I replied, ‘My dear friend ('for ours was a sort ot posthumous, friendship, bequeathed by our mothers J that you have mentioned this subject to me , for you call upon mo lo go to the field and see you shot down, or to assume tho responsibil ity, in regnrd to your own life in sustaining your deter mination to throw it away. But on this subject, a man’s own conscience is his best monitor. 1 will not advise, hut un- dec the enormus and unprovoked insult you hove offered Mr. Clay, 1 cannot dissuade. I feel bound, however to communicate to Col onel Tutnall your decision,’ He begged me not to do so, and said ‘lie was very much afraid that Tutnall would take the studs and refuse to go out with him.’ I, however, sought Col. Tutnall, and we repaired about midnight lo Mr. Randolph’s lodjdfigs, Whom we found reading Milton’s great poem. For somo moments lie did not permit us to say one word in relation to the approaching duel; and he at once commenced one of those de lightful criticisms on a passage of (his poet, in which he was wont enthusiastically to in dulge. Aficr a paws Col. '] utnall remarked, Mr. Randolph, I am told vott have determin ed not to return Mr, Clay’s firo; I must say to you, my dear sir, if I am only to go out to see you shot down,you must find somo oth er friend.’ Mr. Randolph remarked that it was his determination, After much conyer- sat’on oh tho subject, I induced Col. Tutnall to allow Mr. Randolph to take his own course,as his withdrawl, as one ofhis fiiends might lend to very injurious misconstructions. At last, Mr. Randolph, smiling,said, “Well Tutnall, I proiniso you one thing, if I see the devil in Clay’s eye, and that with malice pre pense he means to lake my life, I may change my mind.? A remark J knew he made merely ta propitiate the apxr 'ol'orfjac. But he saw ‘no devil in Olay’s eye, hut n man fearless, and expressing the mingled sensibility and Dimness which be long to the occasion “I shall never forget this scene as long as I live. It bus been my misfortune to wit ness several duels, hut I never saw ono, at least in its sequnl, so deeply affecting. The sun was just setting behind the blue nills, of Randolph’s own Virginia. Here wera two of tho most extraordinary men of our coun • try in its prodigality had produced, about to meet in mortal combat. Whilst Tutnall was loading Randolph’s pistols 1 approached my friend, I believed for the last time, I look his hand ; there was not in its touch the quiver ing of one pulsation. He turned to me nnd said, ‘Clay is calm hut not vindictive—l look iny .purpose, Hamilton, in any event; re member this. On handing him hi* pistol, Col. Tutnall sprang the hair trigger. Mr. Randolph said, Tutnall, although 1 am one of the best shots in Virginia, with either a pistol or a gun, yet 1 never Arc with the hair trigger; besides, I have thick buckskin gloves on, which will destroy the delicacy of my touch and the trigger may fly before I know whore I nm.’ But, from his great solicitude for his friend, Tutnall insisted up on hairing the trigger. On taking their po sition, the faot turned out os Mr. Randolph anticipated ; his pistol wont off before the word, with the muzzle down. "The moment this event took place, Gen eral, Mr. Clay’s friend, called out that he would instantly leave the ground with his friend if that occured again. Mr. Clay at once exclaimed it was an accident, and bog ged that the gentleman might be allowed to go on. On the word being given, Mr. Clay fired without effect, Mr. Randolph dischar ging his pistol in the air. The moment Mr. Clay saw that Mr. Randolph had thrown away his fire, with a gush of sensibility he instantly approached Mr. Randolph anti said with an emotion I can never forget—“I trust in God my dear sir, you nre untouched ; af ter what has occurred, 1 would not have harmed you for a thousand worlds.’ The close of this passago in Randolph’s career makes too complete a picture to be omitted. Returning from his mission as Minister to Rusia, broken in health, sick at heart—at death’s door—lie went into the Sennte Chamber, and took his seat in the rear of Mr. Clay. The gentleman happened to be at that time on his feet addressing the Senate. ‘Raise me up, said Randolph, I want to hear that voice again. When Mr, Clay had concluded his remarks which were very few, he turned around to see from what quarter that singular voice proceeded. See ing Mr. Randolph, nnd that he was in n dy ing condition, he left his place and went to speak to him ; ns he approached, Mr. Ran dolph said to the gentleman with him, Raise me up. As Mr. Clay offered his hand I hope you nre belter, sir; replied Rnndolpe, 1 am u dying man, and 1 came here expressly to have this interview with you. They grasped hands and parted, never to meot more. Macon Manufactubed Engines.—We examined on Mo iduy last in the machine shop of Mr. Charles P. Levy, in this city, a steam engine which he had just completed for Messrs. Demining nnd others, who nre erecting a set of steam' saw mills between Gordon and Mi'ledgeville. It is of twenty- five horse power, embraces nil tho modern improvements, nnd has been constructed en- tiro, with the exception of the boilers, in Mr. Levy’s establishment. For beauty of proportions and finish, and, so far as the eye can judge, for substantial utility, this engine is not a whit inferior to the best wo hnve ev- or seen produced in the Northern works.— We are nappy to find that the Southern peo ple are not only using a great deal more ma chinery than formerly, hut that they are gen erally determined to give preference to home made articles. Mr Levy informs us I ha'he has now in hand no less than eight steam engines, and that he employs, all told, about forty hands. Such establishments und their proprietors, ought to he cherished and sus tained byn wise, sagacious, and prudent peo ple. They contribute essentially to the prosperity, not only of the city, but of the surrounding country.—Jour. & Km The Frenchman's Revenge. There are hut few pleasing reminsrences of the time when business and credit were prostrated by the hurricane whieh'sweept over this country in “thirty seven’’—when the banks generally suspended specie poy- ments, nnd hard ia h was a phenomenon.— We recollect but one mirth-provoking inci dent, connected with the great paniu. nnd that was tho presentation of a hundred dol lar bill at the counter of a city bank, by a Frenchman, with a demand for the specie. “Monsieur,” said the fiercelittle French man, “vili you pay zis bilTT^Ht^oii give me zo monniae ?” “We cannot redeem it at present,” said the Teller, in a very bland lone, “we have suspended.” “Suspended t Va’s that ?
