But wore It otherwise, tho luxury of a Florida night 1 would bo ample compensation. 1 am informed that tho nights during the whole summer arc as cool and pleasant as they arc at this soasou Tho soil possesses po- cularltios which renders it quite. different from uny portion of Goorgla or South Caroli na. A largo portion is very poor, and Is cov ered over with a growth of stunted plnos and palmettos—yot, In tho midst of thoso pine barrens, rich hammocks, llko oases In a dosort, now and then mnko tholr appearances, con trasting most singularly with tho surrounding wasto. Tho transition Is suddon and agreea ble. Tho pino land, and unproductive, sandy soil, terminates abruptly, and gives place to a Ibrtlle, heavily Uni bored land, having in many places a substratum of nlarl oxtending to a considorablo depth. Tho hammocks vary In size from forty to ton thousand acres, and are selling at from SB to $10 per aero. Tiicro is a great deal of plno lnnd capable of pro ducing from 500 to 1,090 pounds oflong std- plo cotton, which can ho purchased at Gov ernment price, (81 25 por aero.)

Orange Lake is seventeen miles In longth, and vnrics.from three to four miles in width. It abounds in a great variety of flsh, many of which attain n groat size. Trout arc fre quently taken from it, weighing from eight to thirteen pounds. Besides which, tho Luke furnishes a great numbur of Alligators, Ducks, Occsc, Cranes, &c.j and tho hammocks by which it is surrounded,Door and Turkeys In abnndnncc. Paine’s Pralrio. two miles north of Mlcnno- py, is a most beautiful natural pastura, tun miles in length and four In width, oontainfng 26,600 acres ofland. It Is intersected by a stream of considerable size, and furnishes pastmngo for ton thousand head of cattlo.— The soil Is very rlcli. and which would not require a great outlay of capital, It could ho rendered perfectly secure from inundation. Mlcanopy, as I before stated, is situated be tween tho two places above mentioned, In the midstofn pino grovo, which covors several acres of land. It Is distinguished for tho morality of its inhabitants, and has on that account been selected as a location for a high school, under the patronaga of Ilia Methodist Conference. Such n school Is very much needed In East Florida, and will duubtloss ef fect much good in this portion of tho Stato. Thoro it more good land In this neighborhood than in any other part of Florida. Tho pop ulation of tho surrounding country Is rapidly incrcAsing. Tho settlors arc usually from South Carolina, and arc generally men of in telligence and property. Thirty miles south of Mlcanopy, Is a Spring which, on account of tho transparency of Its waters, received from tho Indians a name signifying water clcarns air, and which Is now denominated the Silver It Is situa ted at tho head of tho Ochlawalia River, which Is navignblo for largo polo boats to Us source. Tho Spring covors about throo acres j it is in some places about ono hundred foot ducp, and so transparent, that llio minutest object upou tho bottom may bo distinctly scon. Tho,bottom Itself is furnished by Nature with a beautiful carpet of groon, com posed of moss and grass. Tho grass is cover ed with snail shells, which, when.viewed un der favorablo circumstances, reflect all tho colors of tho rainbow, giving to tho Spring tho nppcaranco of a silver vaso richly adorned with diamonds. In tho bottom, there are also four or five rocks, having tho appcaranco of inverted conos, from tho crovicos of which springs all tho water which tills this immense basin, and forms tho head of tho rivor. Many varieties of bcnutifril fish, sometimes singly, and sometimes in largo shoals, may bo scon at a great depth, gamboling and frisking about, apparently delighted with thoir happy lot, and adding much to tho beauty of tho scenery.

Any largo, heavy brood of animals, put up on light pastures In a warm climato, is com- Dovontstho only of cattlo (available In a warm climate,) that <iomblncs a’heavy muscular frame, short lugs, and a remarkable itude for fattening—with groat activity, and an Increased power of locomotion, which enables them to gather from our spnrso pas tures, a sufficiency of food to keep them in an improving condition.

They are of a deep, but bright red color, which is peculiar to themselves, with bright orange- colored skins, clean yellow noso, without a dark spot orshado upon it, their hair soft and silky, often curly or wavy.

Tho follow ing extract to from a circular ofR. Fetors, Esq., of Atlanta, distributed at tho last State Fair, when exhibiting his premium stock. “ Tho Devonshire's aro particularly adapted to the cliuatu and soil of Middle and Upper than any othor raco of cattle in tho world. Thoy are more easily rataad, and much less Unblo to disease, than tho so-called 1 Natlvo ’ breeds. Tho Oxen are much larger than tho Bulls, nnd aro suporior to any other brood fbr tho yoko. I purchased tho bull 'Roston,' and tho cow 'Reauty,’ In October, 1848; sinco then I havo obtained from tho host Devonshire herds of tho North, (thoso of Goorgo Patterson, Esq,, Maryland;) twonty-sovon lioad. I havo also g urehased Ayishfros, Durhams, Now-York late ‘Natives,’ and mado selections of tho best -Natlvo' stock.to bo found In Georgia, nnd I consider tho Dovons, for a Southom climato, (hr suporior, in ovory rcspoct, to any of tho othors. 1 havo had throo hclfors calvo at from twon- ty-four to twonty-olght months' old. Tho holfor ' Reauty,’ at twenty-four months old, gavo 18 quarts of voty rich mtl^wr day, when her cair was six weeks old-^ra othors gave 12 and 12) quarts por day each, at samo tlmo after calving. I consider 18 to 22 quarts of milk per day, osthoaverago yield ortho ‘Patterson’ Dovon cons, when in full mitt.— For butter, thoy cannot ho beat by tho best liord of Durhams In tho world. Tho cows invariably ylo d milk of great richness, and when appropriately bred, nono surposs thorn for tho quantity of butter and Mr. Blooroflold, tUo mana- of thoir lungs tolls with tho most marked ad vantage. Whon an animal to oxorclslng, the rapidity with which tho blood circulates 1s greatly increased, requiring a largo surfhea of lungs to properly nrtorinllzo tho blood, and which bocomos a matter of vital Importanco in tho expanded stato of a Southern summor atmosphere. Whon an animal can bo kept quiot nnd not fatigued, nor oxcitcd, a largo capacity of tho lungs to not needed, and Indeed it is a rulo, that ns it fattens and tha lungs becomo compressed, the rapidity with which It takes on flesh to greatly increased; but if it should bo called upon to tako any cousldora- hlo oxorctoo, or should becomo ovorbeated, while in that state, tho necessity for an In creased capacity and power In tho lungs would bo readily perceived. Tho animal will ap pear sick, and os tho most favorable termina tion, tho Impurity of tho blood (causod by want of proper arteriallzatlon,)] will show It self upon different parts oftho body In erup tions. Tho truth of thoso remarks may bo scon by tbo comparative sliapo and powers of endurance, of diflorent horses. Wo find that thoso with short bodies nnda limited capacity of lungs, when kopt qntot or worked slowly, are readily kept very Iht, but if called upon to oxertthelr utmost strength or activity, they readily becomo fatigued, tlielr lungs becomo oppressed, and if not relieved by rest their health becomes Immediately affocted ; while a horse with larger lungs will not ho so readi ly kept very fl»t, but will endure a greater degreo of fatiguo, without becoming at all affected. Now upon tho treatment which our horda aro subjected to at tho South, wo readily por ed vo tho necessity for a combination of points in an animal which will fit it to nndorgo a much greater amount of flitlguo (nnd that un der tho enervating influence of a sultry cli mate) than tho samo animal would bo culled upon to suffor in the more luxuriant pastures oftho North. T ' With our sparso pasturago, ovory animal must undergo considerable fatiguo each time that it fills its stomach with food, which be comes a sorious drawback to thoir prospority whon undergone beneath tho rays of a burn ing sun. Such circumstances tell to tho disadvantage oftho Durhams and othor broods of cattle, which havo boon horiitoforo tried at tho South, rendering them diseased or un thrifty, and disappointing the hopos of those who havo tried to accllmato them. By sub stituting tho. Dovons—wo will readily avoid such disappointments in Arturo, and easily in crease tho quantity, as woll ns quality, of milk, beef, and buttor, at a less cost; and, at tho samo tlmo, have a stock of cat tlo remarkable for beauty and immunity from diseaso. Tho comparatively largo sizo oftho brain in tho Dovons, to of grout advnntago in onmjk hling thorn to withstand fatiguo, and the en ervating influence which a warm climate nec essarily oxorts npon tho animal economy. Thus fitting thorn for tho yoko, and prcsorv-' ing thoir health undor the combined disad vantages which all herds suffer in this country. Tho reason why man can uudorgo more protracted fatiguo, and greater privation with out injury, than any of tho lower order of ani mals, is owing mainly to the greater amount of norvous influence which to attondtait upon a larger brain.

What thon, to It tho interest oftho South to demand from tho con- fodorato States 1 Tho answer will suggest It self to ovory mind, "to be left alone." Tlmt to all tho ’ '■ involved In that position; but Interest, safoty bids ns tako It. Slavery In tho South occupies tho samo relative position tntho social system, that the lowest ulass of tho white population'docs In tho froo States and In Europo. It forms tho rough laboring population ofthe South, and it not only .occupies this position, hut has heretofore shut out. nnd 'vlll contlnuo to shut out from the South tho white lahorlug popula tion from tho froo States and from Europo thronging to this country. Now If any ono wishes to draw tho contrast between thoso different states of Socloty, thoso aro tho (bets to start with. Wo have at present a different uso to mnko of theso diets. Wo wish out readers to understand how and why It Is that a man becomes afrccsoilcr, and they will then bo able to understand lully tho interest of tho South anil tho danger which threatens it. It Is woll known that In tho free States, thoro Is a very largo majority of the people in All ruminating onluu's must of necessity fill ■^#*3*#— former years, mostly for tbo butebor; but, sinco 1800, by tho judicious ’crosses' nnd se lections of two celebrated English breeders, followed up from the year 1818, by Goorgo Patterson, Fsq., of Maryland, thoy havo boon bred with especial reforonco to tho production of milk and butter; and now rank doservodly foremost among Dairy stock.- Nearly all of tho rccont importations from England, mado by the Northom brooders, aro from tho ‘hoof' Dovon holds. Thoir ’crosses' may improve tho form, but will assuredly Iqjuro tho milking qualities of tho 'old-iksh- loned’ ‘Patterson/ ’Eollpso’ stock.” Tho question, now, naturally arisos, Whoro can cattlo possessing so much merit bo found for salo 1 Thoro lies tho difficulty. Goorgo Patterson, Esq., of Maryland, stands at tho head of Dovon breeders In America, and no doubt has as good animals as can bo found In tho world. Uls clianco must bo limited, for supplying tho groat demand that thoro now is for Devon calves. But If they can be bad of him, thoy will certainly do to rely npon as thoroughbred, and carejully bred. Hto deal ings arc governed by tho strictest honosty, and moreover ho has that knowlodgo of Dovon cattlo, which onablos him to know whon hois dealing honestly by. a purchaser. This last qualification to not often found in thoso who brood cattlo for salo, but to as lhlly as essen tial as tho desire lo net honestly. Devon cows of approved brood, and decondod from good milking families cannot bo bad. Thoy aro very scarce, and tho only dopondonco to com mence a herd, to In procuring calvos. Mr. Fetors has, upon hto Gordon county fiirni, tho most oxtonsivesoloctlon oi thorough bred Dovon calvos to be found on this contl nont, nnd has laid tho foundation for as good a herd os any in the world. Sovoral othor genllomcn In this Stato aro making efforts to obtain herds of pure Dovons, and we may hope that In a few years fine animals of that brcod may bo comparatively plenty, and that by tho uso of Dovons ahd thoir crosses wo may becomo consumors of homemade cliooso and butter, and that Georgia mij becomo the "Goshon" oftho South.
