I went to the depot on Sunday evening ' that can overhaul her. From her construc-
and found crowds of negroes coming out tion she has as much passenger room as the
to see the cars, as they had been running : large steamers. All the above facts were
despondence so your readers may have the
whole trip. 1 have a word more about
Palatka, Fla., from which point I wrote
you last.
I saw a boat launched while at Palat
ka, to run from that place up the St. John’s
and Ocklewaha to Silver Springs, in Mari
on county, a distance of 130 miles.
1 made the acquaintance of Col. Pelot,
of Alachua county, while at Palatka, who
is United States Agent for the protection
of the public lands in Florida. The Col.
said that Gov. Broom, of Florida, told him
that during the canvass for the Presiden
cy, when Fremont was running, that Gov.
Wise, of Virginia, told him that he had
100,000 men ready to march immediately
to Washington and take the Capital, if
Fremont had been elected. Suppose a black
Republican is elected next time, will any
Governor of the South be so prepared ?
Any man from Cherokee Geo.', or any
hill country, visiting Florida at this season
of the year, cannot believe otherwise than
that the countiy is sickly, notwithstand
ing the most of the citizens tell him to the
contrary. The dreary look, the long moss
from two to ten or fifteen feet long, hang
ing from the limbs of the trees, the flat
appearance of the countiy, &c., all tend
to produce the same impression. Yet, to
visit the State late in the fall, a man might
like it so well that he would risk the sum
mer, as the winter is so pleasant.
At Palatka dry heart pine is sold to the
steamboats at $3.50 per cord, which is
quite a profitable business. There arc some
saw mills at this point, one of which cost
$22,000 and sold a few years ago at $6,000,
and would now sell for the same or less.
Sour oranges are plenty at this point and
sweet ones are raised to some extent. 1 (
saw no apple trees in this locality. Peach
trees do tolerably well. Watermelons grow
pretty well here, but are not so good as
farther up the countiy, as they are apt to
take second growth.
On the 10th 1 left Palatka for Ocala
and made the trip in about 13 hours—a
distance of 56 miles: stage passage seven
dollars. I passed the Orange Springs, 25
miles from Palatka, which arc very strong
sulphur springs, so much so that one can
smell them at a considerable distance.
Invalids resort thither to bathe for their
health. The country from Palatka to O-
cala is generally a very sandy pine coun
try, to within a few miles of Ocala.
There is considerable pretty fair land in
Marion county and some very good, vet
not any that is better than some of the
lands in Cass or Gordon. It will produce
Sea Island Cotton better, but when that
is said all is said, as to its superiority.—■
Poor men who wish land and have but
two or three hundred dollars, might buy
some ofcthc pine land at from $1 to $1.25
per acre, and make a living on it a few
years. It is said that the lands do not last
so well as was supposed originally.
The Ilatnmoc land is generally good, as
it is clay land, with oak, hickory, Magno
lia, &c., growing thereon, and is usually
selected first by emigrants, yet it does not
last better than sandy land sometimes. I
saw some excellent corn and cotton grown
on such land between Ocala and Silver
Springs. These Springs are 6 miles from
Ocala, and are said to be from 15 to 70
feet deep. The steamboats come up into
the head of the Springs, unload and turn
round and return. The Spring branch
runs but a few miles before it runs into
Ocklewaha River and constitutes the prin
cipal part of the river. The Springs are
only about two months to that point.—
The land around Gainesville, and between
that place and Fcrnandina, is thin pine
land.
It is only 98 miles from Gainesville to
Fcrnandina by rail road. I learned that
the.st cam saw mill, of Mr. Moody of Jack
sonville, was destroyed by fire on the 12th.
This is the tenth time it has been set on
tire. I learned in Jacksonville that Mr.
Moody was a very clever man. His mill
was said to be too near one of the hotels,
and too far in town, but this is no reason
that a man should be ruined.
I have always understood that negroes
could not handle mail matter, but in this
country they deliver and receive the mails.
Occasional!}- a place may be seen where
the ground has sunk down to a considera-1
ble distance, sometimes covering up the
trees growing thereon.
I intended to have brought some of the
Cabbage Palmetto up with me, but passed
through the country where it mostly grows
before I knew it. The reason it is called
Cabbage Palmetto, is that the bud is about
as good to eat as a cabbage. Sometimes
the bears cut out and eat the buds which
arc situated about in the centre of the tuft
which grows about the top and constitutes
all the limbs and leaves of the tree, even
if it be forty or fifty feet high.
There arc many things of interest in the
State to one who has never been so far
South. No man can form a proper esti
mate of Florida from the reports of others.
AH who have any inclination to go there
to live, should first visit the State anil re
main as long as possible, in order to see
the different seasons. If visited in the win
ter almost any one would like it, to some-
extent, but visited in other seasons, either
the dry in April and May, or the wet in
June, July and August, or the most sick
ly in September, Ac., it is not so likely
that persons from the up country would
be pleased so well. Florida has more pha-
told me by Col. Lamar.
No place appeared so much like making
plenty of wheat and corn as the Cherokee
country.
The distance from Cassville, by Atlan
ta, West Point, Columbus, Macon, Griffin,
Atlanta, again to Augusta, is 568 miles,
and the tickets $21.60.

Lotteries ! and the way the Thieving
is Perpetrated.
Messrs. Editors : Your paper has done
much to suppress the thieving operations
of the various Lottery Swindles and Swin
dlers in Georgia, for which the honest
portion of the people hold, and will ever
hold you in grateful remembrance.
Let me explain you the manner in
which the ignorant are duped out of their
money without knowing it; for the secret
is only known to those who see behind
the curtaius. It is this: For instance,
McKinney & Co., Lottery dealers, in Sa
vannah, send out their schemes and Tick
ets all over the country, and advertise
that on a certain, day a drawing will come
off in presence of sworn Commissioners
—Capital Prize $50,000, to $60,000 or per
haps $70,000.
(I |The Scheme informs the “green ones”
that all the numbers from 1 up to 50,000,
inclusive, are placed in one wiieel and the
Prize Tickets in another wheel. These
wheels are revolved, and the ticket is
drawn out of the wheel of tickets and a
ticket out of the wheel of Prizes, and a

Madame McMahon.
A Paris letter says :—The story about
faintings which is going the round of the
papers is not exact. It was not Madame
McMahon alone who fainted. An eye
witness has recounted the scene. The
dispatch was brought to the Lady Regent.
It was in ciphers as usual—ciphers of
which the imperial lady alone has the
key. It was the longest which has ever
been transmitted by the electric telegraph,
and has been registered as such ; and as
the Empress proceeded in her deciphering
the emotion and dread grew greater at
each word, until completely overpowered
by the agitation of the moment, the dread
of what was to come, the eagerness and
terror evinced by the ladies present to
learn the contents of the dispatch, all of
them personally interested through near
and dear relations in the solution of the
ciphers, she sank back in a swoon, grasp-
drawn from the wheel of Prizes with
$60,000 printed on it, then ticket No. 1480
is entitled to $60,000! So far, all seems
fair cnongli; but here is the rub, which
has rubbed the last dollar out of many a
poor man’s pocket: The ticket dealers—
that is the managers, know precisely what
particular numbers they have sold, in
any given or appointed drawing, and in
placing the 50,000 tickets in the ticket
wheel, they take care not to put in the
numbers of the tickets they hate throien
upon the market! To illustrate my mean
ing, and show up the villainy more plain
ly, I will give an example: Mr. J. W.
Miller, (who, for all I know, is a worthy
man,) is the Agent of McKinney & Co., of
Savannah, for the sale of tickets in the
City of Atlanta. McKinney & Co., send
to him a bundle of tickets, the numbers
of which they keep an exact account of in
their office. We will suppose that tick-
along, meditating on his sermons for the
day, he met the parish priest.
“Well, -,” said his reverence, “I
suppose you are on your way to preach
ing again ?”
“Yes, sir,” was the modest reply of the
humble minister.
“It is high time Government took up
this subject, and put a stop to this travel
ing preaching.”
“ They will have rather hard work, sir,
replied the imperturablc minister.
“I am not very sure of that,” rejoined
the priest, “at any rate I will see wheth
er I cannot stop you myself.”
“I judge,” said the worthy man, “you
will find it more difficult than you sup
pose.
Jude was shot to death with arrows.
Simeon Zolotcs was crucified in Per

Matthias was first stoned and then be

Peter was crucified with his head down

We find the above floating about in our
exbanges, and think we may have pub

greeable to many. Some men would be
pleased with it, while others would be
very much displeased. What I have writ
ten is in reference to East Florida only, as
I did not travel over Middle nor West
Florida, and over but few counties in East
Florida. The only way to know the State
is to see it.
The State of Florida gives the rail road
companies alternate sections of land for 6
miles, and the United States give altern
ate sections for the balance of alternate
sections to 15 miles. There is to be a ca
nal cut in a very important part of the
State, for which purpose the State gives
50,000 acres of land, $40,000 in money and
$300,000 in State bonds, payable semian
nually at 8 per cent, for thirty years, and
then the principal to be paid. If under
these circumstances and donations, this
State cannot build rail roads and cut ca
nals, what State can ? After all, will they

so many. It is well known that swoon
ing, like weeping, is catching by contact,
one by one the ladies gave way to the sen
sation, and the drawing room at St. Cloud
soon resembled the scene in the Sleeping
Beauty in the Wood. Madame McMahon,
who has been quoted as the only one to
whom the accident happened, was, on the
contrary, the first to whom consciousness
returned, and soon it was to learn the
high fortune to which her husband had
attained, and the glory he had earned at
Magenta.
Good Society.
It should be the aim of every young
man to go into good society. We do not
mean the rich, the proud, and the fash
ionable, but the society of the wise, the
intelligent and good. Where you find
men that konw more than you do, and
from whose conversation one can gain
4,350, are those sent to Mr. Miller to be
disposed of in Atlanta. Well, in placing
the 50,000 in the ticket wheel, in Savan
nah, the day of drawing, McKinney & Co.,
knowing what numbers they have sent to
Mr. Miller, take care that tickets Nos. 5,
550, 3,167, 8,001, 2,600 and 4,350 are not
put in, and if not put in the wheel, how
in the name of all that is honest and com
mon sense can those tickets be drawn out ?
The thing is so plain—such a palpable
fraud, that it is a wonder to me the peo
ple of cities in which these thieving shops
are located do not rise up and abate them
as a nuisance at once.
This mode of swindling the ignorant
people out of their hard earnings is appli
cable to the “single number” Lotteries,
or those that pretend to be drawn on
what is called the “Havana Plan of Single
numbers.” As to the three number, or
combination Lotteries, a man has the same
chance to be struck by lightning, when
the heavens are not overcast with a cloud,
as to draw a prize out of one of them ;
and the identical swindle can be perpetra
ted with them as with the single number
Lottery Schemes.

And there are three ways to stop yours—

such an extent was this, that the herders

their way to California most of whom,
no doubt, had been killed by the Indi
ans, in pursuance of the example set
them by their Mormon allies in the Moun
tain meadows massacre, and who they see
act impertinently and with impunity in
the matter.
Atrocities toj horrible to he related,
and which seemed to shock the brute sav
ages themselves, arc related by persons
who claim to have been compelled to join
in that massacre. The number of per
sons in train was about one hundred and
forty—seventeen small children alone are
saved. The property alone amounting
from $60,000 to $80,000, counting 700
cattle, horses and mules, some very fine
stock, and forty wagons and carriages.—
The personal effects were taken to the
tithing office in Cedar City, and there
sold out. Many of the clothes stripped
from the murdered persons, were piled in
a room in the tithing office, and not sell
ing readily on account of being filled with
blood, were allowed to remain in that con
dition until the room has become so much
scented with it that it is very offensive to
stay in. May it remain a stench in the
nostrils of such Saints for all time to
conic.
