B. F. Butler charges Admi¬ ral Porter with sailing away with his vessel below New Orleans and run¬ ning out to sea, fearing tlie Confed¬ erate ram Louisiana and leaving But¬ ler's “poor soldiers unprotected toiler tender mercies.'’ Porter denies the charge; Butler reiterates it and says he will prove it was true. Now let us see how the hero of Drewry’s Bluff, will prove that Admiral Porter was a coward. A National Patriotic club has been organized in New York, and named the George Washington Club, “Every man, woman and child who sub- scribes to the doctrine of patriotism, tuny become members.” We it’ there is a man, woman or child who does not subscribe to the doctrine of patriotism; or lias the patriotic sen¬ timent in New York become so weak and sickly that it requires a club to bolster it up? **** Griffin is to be congratulated securing the Expermental Agricul- tuml Station. A beautiful farm com- prising 123 acres costing $15,000,with $4,000 in money, is donated by the citizens of that enterprising town.

Hereafter the Mayor and Council of Jac sonvtlle Fla., will not be elec¬ ted by the people, but appointed by the governor of the state. The bill passed the senate by a vote of nine¬ teen against t ight: This is undoubt- idly a mistake. Although democrats for the present will fill the ofli.e, the measure is not democratic. The next governor may be a republican who will appoint republicans to rule tlie city a©d the object aimed at by the law will not be reached. H. W. Grady is ubiquitous.

C. to New Orleans,passes through a country tined to be among the richest in the world. On Wednesday, the editor of the News took a seat in one of the gant coaches that run on this road, and soon was flying westward,through iock\ cuts, past green fields and leafy woods, past Currahee’s rugged peak, past lovely Mt. Airy, and suddenly halted at the attractive little city of Comclu Ifcr-, changing cars to the lilue Ridge & Atlantic road, and in a few minutes the gentlcmardy conduc stopped the train, let the writer de- bark and poumng to a road, sa.d: “I think that road takes vou to the * house. rn. 1 he road iiii led through , wood,across i a a stream, , where is an old mill, and , water , e fall; ,, then ,, up a i hill n the i top on of which is a large mansion, lately the residence of Dr. H.

Reynolds,so widely known as be¬ ing an accurate and experienced sur¬ veyor, who is employed by the com - puny to SURVEY OUt THE GROUNDS, stake out the lots, streets and parks, and make a map Of the future city of Demorest. At the residence we were kindly received and entertained by Mr. Frank. J, Sibley, the gentlemanly Secretary, who gave full information of the plans of the company,and drove us in his carriage over the extensive grounds.

Davenport, President, Mr. F. • Sibley, Secretary, both of Chicago, Ill*, and Mr. M. V. B. Bennett, At torney, of Columbus, Kansas. They have purchased about 4,000 acres of land extending about 2 h miles along both sides of the railroad. The sur- face is dbe -sifled by little hills, gen- tie slopes, level plateaus, winding ' allies, through which run creeks and streams, abounding in cascades and ter . bubble here a s springs up am mre.a itt e ake sparkles in the sun-beams, the whole mrms a charm mg .anuscape ot varied and pictur- esque beauty. At the foot of the lake is a line wa- ter power of 25 or 30 feet fall, and from there down Haro, crook, to tho boque river, there are numerous shoals making * sufficient water to drive a large number of mills and factories. The power at the Kvlv Mill is sufficient to drive the machinery of the largest factories in the world e«rv day in • the year The company offers inducements to capitalists to' establish factories for cotton and woolen goods, and for all kinds o7 products made of wood.

T 1 > rooably , , . there is no state much so talked about and ye*’ „ so i little ii known outside its permanent citizens as p , j or j t j a Two classes of persons have misrepresented its charactei istics; those who greatly dislike the state, and those who intensely love it; the former exa urn rate its defects and drawbacks t t 1 t er give, in glowing descriptions, too high coloring to its advantages and attractions; so Flori¬ da suffers from both classes, and it is doubtful which of the two is the ; g reater enemy to the state. One class wou p] have us believe that the ig e ; t | ler sterile sand or malarial SW amps;that the climate for 9 months in tbe year is oppressively hot and the atl n OSp | ie r 0 is freighted with death dealing vapors; that people are i tortured with inusquitoes and fleas, and in constant terror of venomous j serpent8j and t}ie co , t of oralUTe j eroyes is too great to be while these exagerated statements srea t’y mislead, "they have the ap- pearance of truth, because Florida has some poor soil, many swamps and malarial marshes; there are nine warm months, mosquitoes, some rep- tiles,and occasionally there are orange groves so badly managed they do no t pay.

Florida is a boot-shaped pe- ninsula, the top of the boot is Cape Sable, and the solo presses against Georgia and Alabama. It is about 450 miles long from the most northern , «?!»»« . , ¥r , eat width is 14 a miles, while in us nar- rowest part it is only 38 miles across. 1 ts.coast line is 1,200 miles,or to the distance from t lie mouth of the St. Johns river . all ,, along , up the , Atlantic Coast to Boston, Mass. Its area i 5 58,640 square miles, or s ' ze of Georgia. It has numerous or coral islands, one chain of them extending from Hiseavne Hay in a curve 200 miles in length to the dry Fortugas. Key West, a city of 20,000 people is built on one these Keys. These coraline islands made by ‘little issects, produce pine apples, banannas, cocoanuts, d<:tes an.d other tropical fruits. Along the coast there are no less than 25 harbors, some of them amoiur the finest in the world. the one at the mouth of the St. Johns river, called the Port of St. Jol.ns, is 25 miles in length,extending from the har to Jacksonville; large vessels can frol „ there to Palatka, 75 miles farthe the head ot j „ ater , 1>vi . £rat:on, . where . there . . excellent ,, is an harbor; Y the harbor at 1 ampa 1 extends inland . , , 40 miles; and , the , Ta Pen- port 1 at sacola admits vessels of more than , 20 feet draught; the harbor at Dry Tor- tugiis has, at low tide, 42 feet of wa¬ ter through the channel, and 30 feet at the anchorage. Besides these large harbors, there are numerous small bays, sounds and inlets. Florida has 19 navagible rivers with a total inland navigation of 3,000 miles. The most noted of these is the St. Johns which risesin the south t.-rn part of the state and flows nearly north a distance in a straight duo of about ISO miles', but its course is so winding, that a vessel following in its channel travels nearly 400 miles.
