Here the soldiers learned that they must fight negro soldiers, and their blood boiled with indignation and hatred, and the cry went along the line that no qnartre must be asked or given. The two armies met in the barren wa te we have described, and separated by a i.arrow swamp, that had a dry ridge probably 20 yards wide passing through it, an artillery duel at once took place, that was plainly heard at Lake City and all the neighboring towns. Owing to the thick pines, how ever, no great execution was done, there being more men killed and wound ed by the falling t;e • tops than by shot and shell. At this instant the Yankees attempted to charge and press back the Confederates. They came in three solid columns, tlie first two formed of negro troops, while at their ’•ear came the white soldiers with fixe l bays nets, and instructed to impair the first black soldier that flinched. It was from Oiustee that the famous message was sent to Abraham Lincoln stating that “the colored troops fought bravely.” The Yankee lines pressed for the nar row passage-way between the swamp, which was guarded by the Confederate artillery. They literally marched into the jaws of death, and were mowed down by the 'hundreds, the solid shot and shell placing paths “ through their ranks. In front, these green negro sol diers were met by a death-dealing rain of lead and iron, while at their rear was the unbroken phalanx of white soldiers with lire and gleaming bayonets, pressing the victims on to the slaughter. To advance or retreat meant certain death. As soon as one line was moved down other men were showed no / to the prisoners or tlie wounded. I be Confederates lost heavily in this battle.

Lakk Gu v. o Cf . 12.—Dear li.vx- x R: After going “all around Robin Hood’s barn to g. t iu at the back door” l arrived at thi# place yesterday at noon a id after registering at the hotel, found it run by Mr. A. B. Howard, who intro duced himself to us by asking after Col. C. Washington Baldwin, Col, Morton and other distinguished Athenians. Lake City is one of the coining towns in Western Florida. It contains 2,500 inhabitants,- the State Agricultural Col lege is located here, besides several other fine educational institutions. The citizens personally speak of it as the “Athens of Florida.” Tlie town is one of the oldest in this section of the State, being an old Indian trading port, and was settled by the whites in 1S37. From the looks of many of tlie houses they may have been constructed of lumber from Noah’s ark. A good system of water works is here, being supplied from one of the numer ous lakes that surround the place. I remarked to one of tlie citizens, how ever, that it would have been best f r their town to have had a few sweeping fires before investing in water works. There are, however many handsome private residences here, and the new stores going up are modern structures of brick. There is also a knitting mill here that gives employment to about 50 givls, and its capacity will soon be largely increased. Several otjUr u.u::- ufaeturing enterprises are in pr '»pec tus for Lake City, including the alibps for the G., S. & F. R. It. Lake City is built upon a va-t sand bank, and you can’t cross a stn-ei with out it coming over your shoe mouth. The sidewalks are all of plank. The streets are narrow and bordered v\ ith large water oaks, lestooned \vi h moss. In every yard you see orange, pear and peach trees, tlie former fruit ju t be ginning to turn. While this is not the orange belt proper, they are sue ess- fiilly raised iiere, and the fruits are re markable for their rliinds and delight ful flavor. The crop never fails. When the season opens farmers biiug oranges into town by the cart load, and peddle them oi^at 25 cents per hundred.. This is a magnificent vegetable sec tion—the best in Florida—and is des tined to became a vast truck farm, lb • soil is sandy hamroek. is dry and easily cultivated an J very productive. From 20 to 40 bushels of corn per acre, but two principal products are sugar cane and long staple cotton. Lake City deserves its name from the fact that a chain of lovely lakes sur rounds the town on all sides. These bodies of fresh am! crystal water vary from several miles in length to a few acres. Many of them arc connected by underground streams. They abound in aiigators, but the boys keep the ali- gators thinned out in town.

Kind reader, jpicture to yourself a slice clipped from the Spain in the sixteenth century and transplanted in the New World, arid you have St. Au gustine. In treading the narrow streets of this old town—across some of which neighbors eau claq> hands from the overhanging balconies—with their quaint buildings and high walls, built of coquina stone; with glimpses of waving palms, orange trees laden with ripening fruit, oleanders as large around their trunk as a man’s body,and the great wealth of tropical fruitflqw- ers and foliage; with the half-buried and rusty old cannon on every corner; and looming up in the distance tlie frowning walls of tlie old fortress—and it only requires a stretch of the imagi nation to people this ancient city with the warriors of Jastile.

Tlie grounds occupied by the Ponce de Leon and other modern ^nhe-es in St. A agusLae were rec!s&l ed from the marsh, being filled in to the depth of several feet. This great work is due to the enter prise and capital of one man, Mr. Ilenry P. Flagler, of New Y"ork. He it was who rescued this old Spanish city from decay, and bj- the magic wand of money transformed it into au earthly Para dise, With the millions he aunually .extorts from the poor of our country by levying a usurious taxjipon their light and very eye-sight, has this gentleman buildcd in this far-away and decaying corner of tlie South a winter city such as America lias never before seen. Mr. Flagler is as much responsible ' for this New St. Augustine as was Phillip II and his Captain, Menetidey, for the con struction cf Ike old fort Ent guards its harbor. To him St. Augustine is as a petted child. He lavishes upon her the fullness of his purse. With Mr. Flagler a whim is to aet. Money is the “Open seasame” that gratifies his every wish and accomplishes ends and overcomes obstacles that almost seem impossibil ities. He has actually changed the handiwork of nature, and forced the sea to yield to him its territory to trans form it into building sites and pleasure grounds. To show the liberality and enterprise of Mr. Flagler, 1 will site one instance: The Presbyterian church stood on a lot that he wanted. He de molished this building, and erected fo»- the congregation another magnificent house of worship. He also built tine churches for other denomina tions. He has pav d from his own pocket miles of streets with asphalt, and is now constructing a market house and making the linest I baseball grounds in America, the latter houses, there yet Pngers- around St Augustine characteristics of the Old ! by filling in a'swamp.

Never did men fight harder, or do more effec tive work. And among the officers who signalized themselves on that day was Col. J. H. Huggins, now of Flori da. At a most critical time he threw his regiment at the thickest of tho fight, and to this valiant soldier, as much as any other man, is due tlie victory of Oiustee. Even the superior numbers of the enemy could not long stand before such determined valor as the Confederate troops that day showed. Charge upon charge was made to break our lines, hut each was repelled with fresh slaughter The negro ranks could not longer be priven forward, then a retreat was or dered that soon became a carnage Disceptatiou could no longer be main tained and only the shades of night saved the Federals from extermination. Col. Blount, Treasurer of Florida, is on the train with me, and pointed out the principal points of the battle ground as he passed through it. He, at the time of the fight lived near by, where he still resides. While the battle was being fought a girl baby was born to tlie gentleman and his lady, and as the lit tie Stranger was rushed into the world amid the booming of cannons and the rattle of musketry, it was ebristined “Oiustee.” This infant is now happi ly married, and we hope her declining years will be more peaceful than the stormy day that marked her existence. Col.Blount tells mejthat theFedaerlJarmy advanced and returned by his door, but did not molest his family, being con tent with searching his smokehouse and barns. He says lie went over the field the da}* after the fight, audit was certainly a horrible sight. He saw a number of neighbors with a bayonet driven through their forehead, for so enr were the soldiers at haying to fight overtook it and so it decided to remain in the street. Many of the private residences in Lake City front on these pounds and the citizens have pleasure boats for a row or sail. This is one of,the healthi est and most delightful spots in Flori da, and is destiued to become not only a great commercial and manufac taring centre hat a popular water re sort. I am indebted to Mr. J. D. Calloway, g prosperous young merchant who was born in Lexington, Ga., and nephew to Mr. Wm Weatherly, of Athens, foa i most enjoyable stay in Lake City. Sat urday he took us on a drive over the place and we inspected the State Col lege, the water works, lake fronts and other points of interest in and around town. Mr. Callowy is doing a fine bus iness here, and owns a great deal of property in this plaoe. We visited him at his home last night, and spent a most pleasant time. Property here is pretty high. The people of Lake City realize the fact that there is a big future in store for them and appreciate their real estate. I leave at 11 this a. m. for Oiustee battle ground and from which point will go to Jacksonville and St, August tine. Will return home about Wednesday T. L. G Fine Weather, We never saw better weather for get ting the cotton crop gathered, and it will soon he all out.

In tlie Plaza there ire two monuments, built of stone formed of cement, but of neither im posing proportions or unusual artistic merit. One of these was erected by the ladies of St. Augustine in memory of their dead who fell battling under the stars and bars. The thousands ofNorth- ern visitors who read its inscription are told that this simple shaft eommemo- old Castile, the mother of artists and architects and Craftsmen. The hiiilvl- ing'and its surroundings are more like a beautiful dream, and it was the happy fortune of tlie dreamer to transform the shadowy pleasure-dome of fancy , into substantial, concrete reality. ! The main building with the court covers one and one-half acres, and tlie , dining hall and other buildings one and j one-half acres more. The towers rise ; 105 feet against the sky. The hotel has rates tlie South’s heroic dead, who 4~,o rooms, each in adornment and fur- yielded up their lives for their native land and the cause they thought just. The other monument was erected in nishing a gem within itself. The main material is shell concrete. Brick is used in the arches and window jambs; 1313 by Spain, to celebrate the adoption | and the corbies, balconies and ornaments by that government of a liberal consti tution. Similar shafts were placed in all the Spanisli provinces; but when Ferdinand VII mounted the throne his first act was to repudiate the constitu tion adopted by his government, after solemnly promising to observe it, and as these monuments were a constant reproach to his duplicity lie ordered them all destroyed, which command was obeyed, and the monument on the Plaza was taken down and buried. But when the United States purchased the city the shaft was reconstructed, and with its inscription, ending with the s juare and compass—a Masonic em blem—stands today on American soil as a monument to the treachery and tyr anny of an alien government and the oppression of a helpless people by a despotic ruler. But in sight of this old shaft stands another and a far more costly and impo sing monument, erected only a few years since by a nineteenth century despot, who, under the protecting wing of the laws of our country, has exercised a tyranny more oppressiveand burtliensorae than the mendates of tlie Spanish Crown. This third monument ia hotel Ponce de Leon, erected at the cost of light for the American people. The new? - portion of St. Augustine is built on land reclaimed from the sea— where the marsh lien once reared her young: where the hoarse bellowing of the alligator disturbed the lonely Spanish sentinel as he guarded the sleeping city from the watch-tower; where once flowed hold streams that furnished the starving inhabitants with food during a seige. This spot is now filled in and covered with the most magnificent palaces; with gardens and pleasure grounds adorned with every tree and plant that yields shade, fruit and fragrance; stately houses of wor ship are here erected, aud the iron horse traverses and passengers embark and disembark where a few years ago are of terra cotta. Passing through the gateway and tiie portico we enter the fountain court, which is beautiful beyond description. Turn which way you will in this court, there are charming combinations of light and shade. Upon the decoration of the interior of the building, the skill of the most renowned sculptors, painters and artisans of all kinds has been lav ishly spent. Mr. Flagler determined to erect an architectural monument for this age and land, and he has accom plished his ends. St. Augustine to-day is as thoroughly an American city as our own Athens. With the sale of this territory the Span iards returned home, lcaviug nothing behind to mark their sojourn oir‘ our shores hut mouldering walls and re minders of their bigotry, intolerance and cruelty. In winter the city is filled with Northern tourists,who come to this balmy clime in quest of health or pleas ure. During the summer, the negro population predominates. There are yet seen the descendants of the Minor- cans, who were brought here in 1709 from the Balearic islands in the Medi terranean, under false promises, and afterwards subjected . to cruel treat ment. In front of the town lies the Island of Anatasia, on which the light house is built. The old light house, first used as a look-out in 1586—when it gave warn ing to the inhabitants of the city that the English sea-king, Francis Drake, was approaching on his way home from pillaging the cities of tlie Spanish Main —was blown into the sea one June night of 1880. 1742 the Georgia troops under Oglethorpe captured this look-out and from the island bombarded the fort The new light-house resembles a gigan tic barber pole, and on looking at its colored stripes the visitor inadvertently feels his chin to see if he needs a shave. It is on Anatasia island that the co quina deposits are faun*’, and although -worked for more rVin three centuries, the sup ply seems undiminished. Coqulax i% forme.; of shell deposits cut oil from the so iby intervening sand bars, and in course of time is partially dissolved by water and] firmly cemented to- getherin a coinj a -t mass of shell stone. It is soft and very easily quarried. At the southern extremity of Anata- sia island is the inlet of. Matansas, often visited because of its ruined fort, erect ed even before Santo Marco* and its fine fishing grounds. A hotel is erect ed here. During the second Spanish war this old fort was garrisoned by ne gro troops. At Matansas the massacre of the Huguenots occurred in 1565. These me’n. were wrecked, and Meuen- dez, the Spanish commander, induced them, iiuder a promise of protection, tc come on hoard, his ship, where they were all put to death in the name of religion. In Sf. Augustine, I visited the Bar racks built on the site of the Spanish convent and at the north end of the sea wall. Near by is the ol lest house in St. Augustine, recently remodelled, and in its yard the trunk of the «1 lest p T m tree in America, that was k lied by the great fr t, but the gig: u ic stalk is still preserved by a cap of ti i. I also walked through the military- cemetery, where bare three large pyramids of masonry, forming the the tambs of ofiiceis and men who lest their lives in the Seminole war. A memorial shaft is called the “Dade- Monument,” because more than one hundred of the soldiers interred here lost their lives in that tragical massacre It will be remembered that in August 18 Dade and a command of troops, 110 all told, were carelessly murcliiug from Fort Brook to Fort King, through an open pine barren. Without an instant’s warning—from pine, from palmetto shrub aud from the very grass at their feet—burst upon them the shrill war-whoop, the flashing and cracking of ritl**s, and the whist ling, deadly aim of bullets. Sixty of the troop fell deadly wounded. The rest rallied, trained the cannon and at-' tempted to form a breastwork of logs; but in vain. In quick succession, cue after another, they fell. Had the earth yawned to swallow them like the army of Korah, the obliteration could iiuvie been little more complete. Of the men, three miserably won tided,dragged themselves away, two soon after to die of their wounds. Col. Blount, Treas urer of Florida, tells me£that liis father narrowly escaped being witli Major Dade on that bloody day,having reached Fort Brook soon after the soldiers had left, and was detained by some iruex- peoted occurrence. Since the building of new railroads through Georgia and Florida, Athens and St. Augustine are brought near to gether. I left that old city late Sunday afternoonjand tookdiuner tho not* day at home. It will well repay our people to visit this quaint ami historic old city. The cost of the trip is small, while the anti quarian, the sportsmen or pleasure- seeker will find a broad and in viting field for an exercise and gratifi cation of his peculiar taste. I feel that I am due our patient-read ers an apology for my extended letters —and I have material enough left to write as many more—but the trip was such a pleasant, interesting and in structive one to me that I could not re sist the temptation to recount what I have seen to The Banner patrons. T. L. G. holding tiieir cotton. The AUianeemen are Not SeUing.and Bus iness is Dull. Not only is Athens, but all over tlie South, there is complaint of stagnation in business, owing to the fact that the Farmer’s Alliance are holding hack their cotton. The bales as soon as gin ned are laid away - at home, waiting for their warehouse to be completed. Mer chants are gloomy oyer the otlook, for their bills will soon begin to fall due, and they are depending on the farmer’s cotton to pay them ‘ off. Tlie Alliance leaders say their members will certainly pay accounts as soon as they mature, hut if cotton declines will borrow mon ey on it. Within the last few days an unusual ly large number of white bales are com ing into market, and many of them have from ni ne to ten ties. Before The Banner made this suggestion the farm ers were considering the question of making up the 24 pounds tore taken off by using old guanno sacks under the catton bagging.
