As an eviUeuce of this, the thermome ter hi Ok* shaie.nt n.xm in niM-sum uier, selilom rises higher thao uinet). wnite the general average is not ovei seventy degrees. In mid-winter it is seldom lower thau forty, and gener ally averages sixty. This is attrlbu tahle to tlie pre vale nee of the uortii ern and western winds during tin summer, and the southern and east ern w inds during the winter. Lturiug the winter of 1808 we hud ice twice, and teverai killing frosts. Years ago, before we had ever thought of moving to Manatee, 1 hoard a gentleman, who had been here on a visit, declare that “.Mana tee is the garden spot of the world.' But the fair tielis of fruits which In then beheld were alterward laid waste by the ravages of war, and Manatee became almost a “desola tion.’’ i'lanuuious eonlaining thou s tii-is of neies iu a high Male of cul tivation were, by the Emanei|ialion Proelanijttion, left without a “tillei of the soil," and soon grew up in weeds and briers. But anew era has dawned; new settlers are purchasing abd impriVving the lands, at id tin waste places are again beginniii ' to “bloom and blossom like the rose.” Many el'.izeusof Ihe interior, uimlil louger to bear with negro supremacy aud car|iet baft rule, have moved here, where they may mice more enjoy peace ami prosperity, with “none to molest or make afrtud.” To the dis heartened and oppressed of alt sec tions this is truly a haven of rest. Our citizens are from almost every Butte in the Uuiou, while the preponder ance are Southern. Many are from the extreme North and East, Massa chusetts and New York being most largely represented. Besides, we have Norwegians, Danes, Germans, and a few negroes. All ure equally pleased, nor have I seen one who could be induced to leave after hav ing become domiciled. All are good citizens, honest, iudustrious. quiet aud law-abiding. Pillage and theft are utmost unknown. Extensive prai ries arc coveted with herds of cattle ainluroVi-8 of iiogs, and but few are stolen. The forests team with game: tiepin of deer roam the woods, aud Hocks of wild turkeys are frequently to be seen, while snipe, quail and wa tec-fowl of every spociesuce very num erous. Then there are the lish; not a fresh water creek, potid or sink-hole, but is teeming with the choicest vari eties, such as perch, bream, speckled trout aud chub. If those of the salt water are preferred, we have an inex haustible supply in the untm-rous beautiful bay* tbai indent our coast, and here at Manatee, one is accessi ble to both. M INATKh VIU.AOE Is situated on the south bank of the beautiful Manatee river, a stream lit tle Infiwlor in breadth to the far famed Sr. John's, while the shore oti cither side presents to the eye of the beholder a scene of never changing venture. The. laud immediately in and around the village is poor and sandy, being a low plain, thickly covered with palmetto and low i pines; but these lands are remarka bly adapted to the culture and growth of tropical fruits, particular ly the sweet orange ami other mem bers of the citrus family, groves of which may be seen with niaguiticeuce of foliage seldom atutiue 1 by tue richest of the hammocks, and which are kept iu a rapid state of growth by plowing and keeping the surface Id >se aiiT Clear. Here, too, the ba nana attains perfection, and its beau tiful, broad, banner-like leaves are flue specimens of the almost tropi cal luxuriance of this country. To! speak particularly <>f each of the! manv ,-rodiietiotis and fruits of South Florida would Ulla volume. Suffice 1 it to say that here orauges, shad- j docks, lemons, limes, pomegranates, guavas, tigs, and mulberries reach the most perfect maturity. Small fruits and berries are abundant, while this seems to be the native home of ttie grape, as every thing of that, nature lloanshes in this geuiul soil aud climate. Melons grown here have a [teculiar sweetness anti delicacy of flavor. Sugar-cane, rice, corn, i>eas and potatoes are mostly cultivated In the th-lds, each and all of which yield abundantly. Pumpkins, squashes, tomatoes, cu cumbers, Eugiish (teas, beans, Iran potatoes ael cabbages are grown here to perfection, by a judicious se lection of soil suitable to each. The most delicate aud tender of these can be gathered all the winter. N.t. ure has done all she could for the farmer here, aud it is impossible to conceive how a laboring man could starve. It may take a season of toil to prepare the laud, plant and cultivate the crop, but the reward is sure. Arid then there is no ice or snow in win ter, consequently no need of expen diture in preparing for its i Igors. Houses ran be cheaply constructed. First-class vellow (line lumber can be bought for #lB and S2O per thous and, aud second-class for sl2. A small portion of the land is still sub- j jeet, to homestead, though it is being rapidly taken up. Lands belonging j to the State ean be purchased for $1,23 per acre. That belonging to THE DAILY TIMES. private purlies is held at various prioes, ranging from #3 to $25 pci acre. That immediately iu the vil iage of Manatee can not be bough’ for less than S3O per sere. The qual ity of the land has little or nothing to do in the regulation of these pri ■es. bin its accessibility to the rivet, which includes steamboat landings, i iost-ofliee, church and schools. THE ORANQE OTLTt'Ufi. As before remarked, one can choosi iere almost any Industry, and to iressingit closely, be sure of nmph eward. Take for instance th ’ eul ure of the sweet orange; suppose i nan to plant ton acres only, tie tees placed, as is usual, twenty feci ; ipart eaeh way; this will take 12 ! rees; ttiese can be purchased, tw< >ears old, from any of the nurseries : nere for teu and fifteen cents each In live years those will begin tn bear, if properly cultivated; in two uion years, making seven from the tinn of setting out, each will yield tlirei mud rod oranges; now. at an averag' •r one cent only per orange, tni wili pay s;tun [s-r acre; and it must tn remembered that the \ iehl iueronse.- •aeh year pfoporlioimtely. In tin meantime he ean be reaping succes sive crops froth that same land, eul Killing corn, peas, sugar-cane, am •otatoes between tin-orange trees, which is ouly so much tin* better as the trees get hibt'e thorough cultiva tion. The of teller the laud is fertil ized and plowed the more rapidly i in trees grow. This at least has been my experience. All tilings consid ered, ( think an oniligc grove tin ! best life insurance in which any one i an invest.; lie not only gels a haini- I -nme return himself for the amount i invested, but in tin* event of his loath leaves his famil> a sure sup iort, wit It nothing to do but sell tin , ruit as it matures 4ue-li year. Bananas reiptire more fertilizing, i out make a return sooner; each tree : bears but one bunch, when it dies town and ils place is supplied b> sprouts or suckers. Of these eaeh i ree will produce a dozen, and each of these in turn as many more, and soon <ni infinitum. Like onions, oi any other bulbous-rooted plant, i hose sprouts have annually to be separa ted aud set out. They mature fruit in eighteen niotitiis from planting; a bunch frequently has on it 80 or pm single bananas, but the average is less rtmn half that number. The gu ava grows here almost spontaneous ly, and produces the greuti si quanii ! t'y >f fruit. The guava e'lismi proper is from August t'> Oetolier, and the [ uees arc never without fruit iu i'vei \ stage of maturity, from Ihe snnwr | bloom to the fully ripe Iruit. Eati-n raw, as any other fi nit. the gunva is lelieiotis, and as a eonserve unepull ed in flavor by anything else. Mosi (lersons have eaten tlie eelebriilpd guava jelly, most of which is import ed from I lie West Indies. If it imvs j i ro import it, I certainly think it would pay to manufacture it at home. It ■ line one having the means could only be induced to invest in tlie en terprise, everything necessary can be lull] on the spot. The best of sifgai j retails here al"'sys at Pie. per pound, or 7c. ami tic. W tea bought by t tie | barrel; and two guava bears in 18 months trom planting. The citron lemon, the tinest ot nil that family for preserving, grows here, and, wit ji sugar so cheap, one need never be without a delicate sweetmeat, us tin* lemons hung green on the trees all ihe year. J saw it mentioned some time ago in the Savannah News, as a rare sight, that there is in one of the eastern anilities of this State a. lemon tree that blooms every month. This is is no exception here. The lemon, citron and lime bloom perennial. lines. Another industry is the raising ot bees. Of all place# in the world, this is the home of the apiary. Ii Mr. Quin by had ever visited South Florida he need nuthuve written thirl chapter on “wintering bees.” Here the woods abound iu “bee trees;” that jh. tret's having hollow# or cav ities in which the wild Irees have built their combs ; from these have originated tile stock kept, in hives. Most families keep u few stands for llieir own use, though some have ns many as titty and eighty stands. A swarm of bees can be purchased for one dollar, the purchaser furuishin t the hive for them. But very little at leutiuii, comparatively, is paid to them, the common Imx-hivc or “gum ’ being the ,nly kind used. With good pnte,,t hives and proper care there is no telling what a source of revenue tliis may become. A good strong colony will yield iuaseason. seventy live pounds of surplus honey. In leading the Northern “bee slat Utica” one living here cannot help being amused at the idea of “feeding ’ bees and going to the expense of housing : them from the inclemencies of win-i ter, lie. If it is jtrollutble to raise i bees under these circumstance . wliai ' Would be hero " Where a leaf never dies, in the still Mooli i n eg bowers, And Cue Is"- banquets on.throligh a whole year of 11 (Wets!” An 1 then the honey is so beautiful and pearly white, and so delieiousiy tla.oied. partaking as it doesol toe |ierfmiie of tdie dowers upon which the bees feed. But as there is no rose without its thorn, so there are drawbacks to per fect happiness even here. Tin* Hist ami greatest of those is want of lat or —that is household domestics. Here houskeeper combines mistress, maid, cook and laundress. Jr is nothing strange to see delicate ladies, who have been reared in the la- ol luxury, and who, prior to the close of the war, knew nothing hut, east* and self-indulgence, how devoting their whole rim -to seeing and doim-s ie drudgery, but happy aud contented withal, fliwae who come, here must heof brave hearts aud willing hands. Husbands iu list pi'r-.v and plant, and wives be willing to do their own .sew ing, cooking and washing. Of course I am speaking to those w ho come itere poor and to seek tt liv.ng; but to those who have a plenty of money to spare there are always some to hire, provided they are w ill ing to put up with most interior ser vants. Being a farmer’s daughter, I have always been a close observer Of those things pertaining to the farm ing interest generally, and write that which I think will bn of benefit to that class of immigrants or settlers.

Entirely rewritten by tho ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type, aud illus trated with Several Thousand Engravings and Maps. The work originally published under tho title of The New American CYCLorjuuA was coin* plctediu 1863. since which time the wide circula tion which it has attained iu all ]>arta of tho United States and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of suieuce, lit erature and art. have induced the editors and publishers to aulmiit it to an exact ami thorough fevision, ami to issue anew edition entitled The American Oyixoilkdja. Within the last ten years the progress of dis vjo very ir, every do)x>rtmcnt of kuowladge has made anew work of feicreuoe an imperative want. The movement of political affair* has kept pace with the discoveries of science, aud then* frultlu Application to the industrial and useful arts and lire convenience and refinement ot social life. Great wars and consequent revolutions have ©c.- urred. involving national clctugea of peculiar moment. The civil war of our owu country, which was at its height When the last volume ot the old work appeared, has happily been ended, iud anew course of cninuiurciai and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knovvl i-dge have been made by tho indefatigable ex* pturan Of Africa.

In preparing the present edition for the press, it has accordingly been the aim ol the editors to bring down the information to tho latest possi ble dates, aud to furnish au accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production iu literature, aud of the newest inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record of the progress of political and historical events. The work has been begun alter long aud care ful preliminary labor, and with the moat ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new typo, forming iu fact anew Cycloptodia. with the sntne plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such Improvements in its composition as have beep suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. The Illustrations which aro introduced for the first time in the present edition Lave been added not for the sake oi pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations iu the text. They embrace all branches of science aud ol natural history, aud ddpict the most famous aud remarkable natures of scenery, architecture and art, as well aw the various pro cesses of mechanics ami manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than ewbelishmeut. no pains have been spam) to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, aud it is lieiieved-they will tind a welcome reception aw an admirable at ure of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its high character.
