of twenty thousand square miles, and a

1 latcrully diminished, ns there is quite

sufficient already to compensate for its
^occasioned by the war. About one-
ilfof this population reside upon the Island

variety of other Imril wood timber. Tlio

iimrstone. ’ The pine openings are covered
with scattering pines, and a grass which af
fords line pasturage. The soil is sandy and
cot at desirable as thu hammock lands or
prairies. The prairie lands occupy the inte
rior portion of the State, bordering upon the
Kissimcc river, the head water of the St.
Johns, and the upper Coloosahachee. The
soil is a rich sandy nluvium, and they arc
covered over with a heavy growth of grqss;
ad from their appearance must be very pro- \
dactive; they are dotted over with small
dumps of hammocks, containing from one to
jive acres each, which give beauty and variety
to the scenery, and afford shelter, during the
heat of the day. to innumerable herds of deer
md cattle. There are also numerous small
Ukts, of pure water, filled with fish, some of
which are only a few rods in extent, while
others arc from two to ten miles in length.—
TI.r-c prairies are the paradise of the herds-
nag and the limiter. *
Tue cattle require no feeding during the
winter ar.d ent can hardly travel over them a
whole day, without seeing from fifty, to one
hundred deer. The Savannas which border
upon the Everglades, and Biscaycno Bay, arc
inundated, during the rainy season, from nn
overtime from the Everglades, and as the water
-ubsides, there is left a debris from one-fourth
to one-half inch in depth; this process_has
been going on for centuries, uncllitw proved
one of the richest soils in the world. The
rich lands which skirt the Savannas upon
tie coast side, are covered with rottfcn limc-
itoac, sod having mixed with the vegetable
tatter to that extent, that the soil will effer
vesce, as soon as it lomes in contact with
acids. These Savannas are valuable for sugar
plantations, as the sugar cane requires a large
percentage of lhne, and the climate is so mild
that the cane will not require planting oftoner
than once in ten or twelve years. The Palma

Wc have traveled upwards of fifteen hun
dred miles in the newest and most unsettled
portion of the State, we have mixed freely
with the people of all. classes, and .being Nor
thern men, and wishing to learn the senti
ments of the people, as woli as to examine
the country, discussed tlio leading, questions
of the day, the war and its results, negro suf
frage, and in fact everything in connection
with the war and secession. Wc were^
everywhere hospitably received, and
although many did not agree with
us in all our views, all agreed that, hereafter,
the grievances of the South, or of any other
portion of the country, must lie settled in ac
cordance with law and tbe Constitution, up
on the floor ot Congress, and not by a resort
to arms. An emigration from the North will
be welcomed by a large ninjority of the peo
ple, and almost every one is anxious to sec
the State settled up and fully developed. A
Northern man fo the moat radical views is
perfectly safe in traveling through our por
tion of Southern Florida, and to give full
vent to his ideas and sentiments. The peo
ple have no real love for tlio North, as a sec
tion ; but they will treat Northern men with
respect and courtesy, and will encourage them
to settle.
All seem to be heartily sick of the war, and
wc heard no expression of hostility to the
general Government. On the contrary the
feeling seems to be upon the part of many
who were former secessionists, to carry out
and enforce the laws, and will give their aid
and sanction, in so doing. Like all new
countries in the South and West, tbe laws
have been loosely carried into effect, and the
people have heretofore been in the habit of
settling their grievances without nn appeal
to law, but things os near as we could learn,
have changed for tbe better in that respect
since tlic war.
Respectfully yours,

reat 12 to 3—of nil but the Copperhead members.
We may, therefore, accept and consider it as
tlic Union party's plan of reconstruction.—
Our own preference for a much shorter and
simpler plan is well known: Uni veral am-
nesty, impartial suffrage—such arc its condi
tions, and the whole of them.
The Herald says: The plan is ingenious
ly contrived. It is considerably milder than
anything heretofore emanating from the Com
mittee, and nearer the policy and views of
President Johnson. It may bo necessary, in
somethings, snpcifluousin others, and un
fair in its ontinued exclusion of the South
ern States, and having on their part, fulfilled-
the condition of the administration charged
with discretionary powers over the whole sub
ject, bnt we have now only to await the is
sues before the Houses.
The Times says: The scheme would seem
sweeping enough to satisfy the most exacting
Radical. It could hardly be' more sweeping
indeed, nnless it provided for tin; wholesale
confiscation and extermination or banishment
of the Southern people. As a plan of pacifi
cation and reconstruction the whole thing .is
worse than a burlesque! It might be styled
a farce were the country not in the midst of
a very serious drama. Its proper designation
would be a plan to prolong indefinitely the
exclusion of tlio South, and compromise by
imposing conditions to which the Southern
people never will submit.
The World says: The purpose of the
scheme would not have been more apparent
had it been labelled by tbe Committee an in-
TELEGRAPHIC
fallible plan for preventing tbe South from
voting in the next Presidential election. 8o
transparent is its intent that it fails entirely
in respect to its secondary object—of putting
the spurs of exclusion on the Sooth itself.—
It is not an honest proposition. It is not of
fered with any expectation of its acceptance,
bnt with a deliberate design that it shall be
rejected.
THE CABINET ON RECONSTRUCTION.
WAsniNOTON, April 30.—The majority of
the Cabinet are quoted as favoring die recon
struction report.
Report of the Reconstruction Committee.
Washington, April 28.—The Joint Com
mittee on Reconstruction have agreed by a
vote of twelve to three, proposing the follow
ing amendment to the Constitution:
FIRST.
No State shall make or enforce any law
abridging the privileges or immunities of the
citizens of the United States, nor shall any
State deprive any person of life, liberty, or
property without due process of law, nor deny
to any person within its jurisdiction equal
protection of its laws.
second.
Representatives shall be apportioned among
the States according to their respective num
bers, counting the whole number of persons
in each State, excluding Indians not taxed;
but whenever the elective franchise is denied
to any portion of the malo citizens, not less
than twenty-one years of age, or in any way
abridged, except for participation )n the re
bellion, or other crime, the basis of represen
tation in such State shall be reduced in the
proportion with the number of such male
citizens not lcsitbnn twenty-one years of age.
THIRD.
Till the fourth of July, 1870, all persons
who have voluntarily given aid and comfort
to the late insurrection, shall be excluded
from tlio right to vote for members of Con
gress and the Electors for President and Vice-
President.
FOURTH.
Neither the United States nor any State
shnll assume or pay any debt ori obligation
incurred in nid of the insurrection, or any
claim for compensation for loss of involunta
ry service or labor.
FIFTH. -
Congress shnll hove power to enforce by
appropriate provisions this article.
The Committee will also report a bill pro
viding that whenever tbe above amendment
shall become a part of the Constitution, and
any State lately in insurrection shall have
ratified the same, and shall have modified
its Constitution and laws in conformity there
unto, the Senators and Representatives from
such State, if found duly elected and quali
fied, may, after having taken the oath of
office, be admitted to Congress as such. In
addition, they will also report a bill, declar
ing as ineligible to office, under the govern
ment of the United States, the principle ex
ecutive, legislative, foreign and judicial offi
cers, both General and State, and others - un

Reconstruction—Further Particulars of
the **rfew Plan.”
New York, April 30.—The Tribune’s spe
cial says; Alter four months of the most
searching investigation and dispassionate
discussion among the members of
Congress, it is believed the plan will meet
with the entire sanction of all shades of opin
ion nnd sentiment. Thus far no man among
the Union members of cither house has ex
pressed any dissent from this plan. The
friends of the President gave assurance to
night thnt if Congress carries out the scheme
in good faith it will receive his co-operation.
Neither of his organs here, it is stated, will
commit themselves upon the proposition.—
To-morrow Thad. Stevens avows nis readi
ness to acquiesce in the measure. The Lieu
tcnant-Gcncral expresses bis approval, and
no measure of Congress has challenged such
uuivcrsal assent in all questions. It is not
anticipated that any material amendments
will be carried, and the States will be invoked
to convene their Legislatures so as to secure
tbe adoption by loyal States, thus stimulating
concurrent action by States lately in rebel
lion.
The World’s special says a member of the
Reconstruction Committee called on tlio Pre
sident yesterday evening and presented him
a copy of the plan they had adopted, and
asked him what he thought of it lie said
he would let them know after he had care
fully examined it. ne said he thought there
was considerable backing down from all their
former positions.
The Times’ special says: It is known that
Senator Johnson and Representatives Grider
nnd Rogers only voted in the negative; the
affirmatives must be Senators Fessenden.
Grimes, Harris, Howard and Williams, and
Representatives Strong, Washbume, of Illi
nois, Morrill, Bingham, Conklin, Boutwell
and Blow. Many members assert their belief
that the entire proposition can bo carried
through both houses by a two-thirds vote.
The Herald’s special says: It is everywhere
looked upon os a very diminutive animal to
repay the long labor of tho mountain. Com
mon rumor attributes ita production to Mr.
Rosooe Conklin, from the Oneida District,
New York, in conjunction with tlic massive
intellect of Chevalier Forney. Both wings of
the party are out of humor at the result of
the extensive researches and elaborate invest-
tigations of thia wonderful inquisition. Each
ot the antagonistic parties claim that nothing
is accomplished hv the scheme suggested, but
as it don’t exactly controvert their opinions,
nqd it is the neatest to their peculiar ideas
that can be obtained, they subscribe to it.

THE NEW YORK PRESS ON THK PLAN OK THE
RECONSTIlUCTION COMMITTEE.
New Youk. April 30.—The Tribune says
of the plan of reconstruction agreed upon by
the Coinmitli-u : 1 hi; exultation of the pro-
rebcls over the inability to agree of the joint
Committee of fifteen bas proved ill-timed.—
The Committee have agreed on a proposition
which will to-morrow be reported to both
Houses, and which have rccieved the votes—
An Affair at the Augusta Cemetery.
Tbe Augusta Chronicle of Sunday hns a
long account of a disgraceful, but bloodless,
affair that occurred at tbe city cemetery 'the
day previous. It seems that the negroes of
the city, led on by one Capt. Bryant, (of tbe
Bureau, we believe) anil one Eberhart,
without tbe consent of tho city authorities,
who have complete control of tho cemetery,
had resolved to do honor to the federal dead
there buried, and doeorate their graves. The
Mayor, hearing of what was going on, report
ed the case, first to Gen. Brennan then to
Gen. Tillson, both of whom condemned tbe
movement, but declared they had no power
to arrest it. What followed is thus related
by the Chronicle:
The Mayor then ordered a strong force of
the city police placed on duty at the Cemete
ry with orders to prevent the entrance of tile-
crowd if it should attempt to do 60. About
4 o’clock or a little after, a large crowd of
negroes of all ages, colors, and sexes bad as
sembled at the negro school house near the
Northern corner of the Cemetery, with great
quantities of flowers, wreaths, banners, &c.
A Mr. Eberhart. who seemed to lie a lender
and spokesman for the colored people, called
upon the Mayor and other officials who liad
repaired to the Ccmetery,and after a brief con
ference it was agreed that those negroes who
had brought flowers, and none others, would
be permitted to enter at the lower gate (tbe
one nearest the gravesof the Federal soldiers)
and deposit their flowers, or make such dis
position of them as they saw fit, and that no
other, negroes would tie permitted to en
ter the gates. This arrangement seem
ed satisfactory to Mr. Eberhart, who pro
ceeded to report the proposition of tho Mayor
to tho negroes. One of the members of Coun
cil (Mr. Bothwcll, wc believe,) nnd ‘ two of
our most esteemed and respectable citizens—
J. If. Newby, Esq., and Gen. Geo. W. Evans
—proceeded also to tlic school bouse and gave
the colored people their advice and counsel,
which seemed to lie well taken. Indeed quite
a number of the most intelligent confessed
that they had gQne into the movement under
the advice of others, and that they were not
aware that it was offensivo to our citizens, or
they would never have given their counte
nance to it. They seemed pleased with the
manner of these gentlemen towards them, and
tiie kindly way in which theiradvicc was giv
en, and cordially consented to abandon any
further attempt to carry out their p!an£
The Mayor directed the lower gate opened
for the admission of those who had flowers,
when tho negroes all rushed to the gato for
admittance. Tlic officer in charge had them
promptly closed. Some parlying here ensued,
in which the Mayor and Capt. Bryant t>ok
the most prominent part, the latter insisting
that all the negroes should be admitted and
the Mayor resolutely refusing.
There were several white women in the
crowd of negroes, and to them the Mayor
said. “You can come in, ladies—there is"no
objection to your entering, and you con have
as many of the colored people to accompany
you as you wish to carry your baskets, flowers
and wreaths.” But one of the white women
availed themselves of the invitation, when the
gate was closed and the negroes dispersed,
and the affair ended.
Wc have no doubt that this was from ita
inception a studied attempt to insult and hu
miliate our people. Wc do not believe that
the black people would ever have thought of
such a thing, but for the promptings of Cap
tain Bryant, Eberhart and the white school
teachers who arc in our midst Their mis
taken policy of leading the colored people to
encroach upon the rights and feelings of our
citizens, can but prompt and engender strife
and ill feelings between the two races. Wc
do not believe that they arc influenced.by
any great love for the negroes, but rather by
a bitter and vindictive feeling towards the
whites. ******
Wc doubt not that this unpleasant incident
will be represented as a refusal, on the part
of our authorities, to allow the graves of
Federal soldiers to be decorated. Nothing
is moro untrue. If the soldiers or their
friends here desire to decorate the graves of
theft fallen comrades, and properly respect
tlic rights and feelings of those who control
our cemetery, wo doubt not that they will
not only be freely permitted to do it, but ev
ery facility will be afforded them in execut
ing their grateful and proper purpose.

BOMBARDMENT OF VALPARAISO AND
GREAT DESTRUCTION OF
PROPERTY.
New York. Mny 1.—Advices received here
by steamer from Aspinwall, state that in the
fight between the Imperialists and the
Liberals in the State of Oaxaca, a report of
which had reached Aspinwall, the Liberals
were successful. It is said they drove the
Imperialists before them, capturing seven
hundred muskets, five cannons, two thousand
mules, much ammunition and a large amount
of money.
Valparaiso had been bombarded by the
Spanish fleet and about twenty millions of
property destroyed. Great blame is attached
to the British and American Admiral* for not
interfering with their ships to prevent such
wholesale destruction, instead of leaving the
harlior.
fgy Confiscation proceedings in the United
States District Court at Jacksonville, Flori

“Why does a razor cut better for being dip
ped in hot water ?” The edges of all tools,
instead of being perfectly smooth, are really
toothed like a saw, and when the razor is
dipped in hot water,' it causes these little
teeth to expand, thus rendering the distance
between them smaller, and consequently giv
ing the razor a smoother edge.

An Extraordinary Law Suit in Boston—
Ifotv the Dog snapped at the Shadow id
the Water and Lost his Meat—How Bos
tonians Volunteered to Fight for the
' Union.
[From a Boston Letter.
One of the largest anil most important law
suits in the history of Boston, or ot' New Eng
land, has just been virtually decided. The
facts of the affair arc so simple that I can con
vcy an idea of it to your readers in a para
graph. In the dark days of 1864, when the
end of the war seemed along way off, when
volunteering was at An end, and the draft im
minent, the city of Boston was called upon
for about six thousand men. A draft was
always abhorrent to the population here
of all classes, and dismay reigned supreme.
Money was given like water for substitutes,
and the price of men ranged from $800 to
$1000 each. At this time, one Clias. Burrill
consulted with the municipal authorities os
to the best means of filling the quota, by pro
curing repentant rebels from the prison camps
in the West, and by bringing to light credits
not heretofore allowed. The mayor signed a
paper promising to give him $125 for each
name obtained. With this paper Mr. Bur
rill hurried to Washington, paying little
attention to the enlistment of (rebels in
the West), and devoted his energies to get
ting men who were already enrolled in. the
navy credited against the quota. A bill in
troduced into Congress for the purpose was
opposed by the Western members. Mr. Bur
rill “took measures” (which he hints were ex
pensive ones) to silence their opposition aud
secure their votes. The bill passed. He
posted back to Boston, and copied from the
books of tbe receiving ship at tlic Charleston
navy yard tlic names of about 6,000 men wlio
had enlisted there, giving this city as their
residence. Tlic list was passoij to the credit
of the city on the books of the provost offi
cers, the quota was filled, and Boston was
saved from draft.
The rqjoicing of the city authorities over
this preservation were interrupted by the
presentation of Mr. Burrill’s bill, $125 for
each name which his exertions had obtained,
amounted to about three quarters of a million
of money. The contract, given with hope
that he might enlist a hundred men, seemed
to stand equally good now that six thousand
names had been obtained at a cost cheap for
single recruits, but appalling in the aggre j
jate. The mayor, in despair, wished th:
By the sacrifice of his entire fo
tunc, ho could wipe away tho del
under which he had placed the
payers. Propositions of compromise were’
made, and Mr. Burrill was allowed an amount
which would have made him wealthy to re
linquish his claim. lie demanded the whole
sum, however, and would not abate a jot.
Consultations with lawyers followed. The
city authorities took heart and determined to
fight the case in the courts. An imposing
array of counsel was engaged on both sides.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler heading the plain
tiff's force. The trial wa3 commenced on
last week. After Mr. Burrill’s testimony
was all in, the defendant asked the courc
to take the case from the jury on ques
tions of law to be decided by a full bench.
After some hours of argument, this was done,
aud although of course the decision was not
final, Sir. Burrill’s claim, for which five days
ago lie would not take five hundred thousand
dollars, is now worth nothing at all. The
point made by the defendant’s counsel, of
course, was that the mayor had no authority
to make such a contract, and there is every
probability that it will.be so decided. Had
the amount claimed been a tenth of what It
was, it would undoubtedly have been paid
without resort to law; but Mr. Burrill’s vo
racity was not content with a small sum, and
no tax payer is sorry that he has now lost
the whole.

A State Governed by Proxy.—For
some time there has been a suspicion of
something wrong in the Executive depart
ment of tiie State of Iowa, and it was even
rumored that the Governor had appropriated
funds of the State to his own purse. A legis
lative committee having taken the matter in
hand, it was discovered tlfat the Governor’s
private secretary, named Orwin, had devoted
about thirty-four thousand dollars’ worth of
land warrants to his own use. But this was
not tho most startling development. It
