TAMPA, FLA., Dec. 21, 1878. ty'ditor Anderdon Inteltigenctr : I thought when I commenced an ac LoUDt of my trip to thia Land of Flowers, [preparatory to giving a description of thc 'country, which I had promised some of your readers, I would have been long ago .?through, but settling in a new country lone finds BO much to do there is but little ? time for writing. My Inst letter left me ?within two miles of Stockton, Ga., at Mr. ?Gould'*, where we were kindly accommo $ dated during Sabbath until Monday morti sing, and as we expect sometime to-day ?(March 4th) to reach thc- Florida border, ? we feel ns though wc were nearing our I destination, and aro proportionately en I cnuraged. There is a charm about the ? word home, always attcuded by its mng ! net, which ever attracts us with glad I dened hearts, and however saddened may I be our thoughts by past reminiscences of S friends and kindred lies, severed and left t behind us, even though it bc an adopted ? home it is significant of rest; and what I bal in ia there so soothing to the tired and aweary heart? Yet with all towards ? Carolina, the State of our nativity, and ?Anderson, the place of our births, (for ?we were all born witbjn the County,) oui latfeciiona cnn never bc lessened, and our geyes wi** ever tum with interest I je To-day we travel without accident or ?interruption about twenty-eight miles, Sand stop with Mr. Philip Lee, a very '?kind and clever old gentleman, who cor dially welcomes us to bia "ingle Bide," jgrvhich we find quite comfortable, for Ihough Mr. L. informs us that we crossed the line into Florida some 'bree or four Kn iles back, thc chilly air does not nd Wnoui?h us that wc are. much nearer the ??tropics. There is much of sameness in our ? journeys from day to day. the country mor miles buck differing little in appear* Bi ?ce, sparsely settled, and generally Btlong the roads barren and sandy, pre senting the ustinl character of thc lands fas one near? the nea coast. Mr. Lee in forms un, however, that tho pine lands in .'Florida produce much better than their {Appearance would indicate ; but of this - I will be able to say more and judge bet ficr from experience after a while. Cer tainly in Carolina such looking land would be regarded almost worthless. H Leaving Mr. Lee's on the morning of the 5th, we pa%3 through Jasper, a small ?Village on the railroad, in Hamilton ' County, stopping only a ?hort while to Suave some iron repaired on my one-horse Bfi'-gou, and to get some directions to ?.White Springs," whero we expect to L 1 ip to-night. To-day we see oranges growing for the first time, and thc chil dren are in perfect ecslacies over them. I give a dime and permission is given them to get as many as they want. Ed gar anon bas bis pocket and both hands .full, and is crying because he can't carry any more. Poor child, ho doesn't know Ethe disappointment in store for him. The fruit is very beautiful nn the trees, 1 but the oranges are sour and bitter > sweets, and only luscious in appearance. This reconciles my little boy, satisfying, and, I hope, making him ashamed of, his I greed. I Wo pass a churchyard about two miles a before reaching the Springs, which is in? deed a lovely spot, but full of awe and solemnity with its surrounding water - oaks covered with long-drooping moss, j mourning, as it were, for the dend sleep ; ?nar, beneath their shades. "Perhaps in this sequestered spot is laid j Someone once pregnant with Celestial fire, I Hunds that tho rod of Empire might have swayed, Or waked to ecstocy tho living Lyre." ? White Springs, where we stop to night, though deserted at this season of the j year, I am told is still a place of resort in the Summer for invalids, as well us plcasure-secl..s. -There is a largo hotel for the accommodation of visitors, two stores and quite a number of houses erec . ted, all of which, ? am told, are occupied during the Summer, but are vacant now, giving the place the appearance of a "deserted village." Through thc kind ness of Mr. Adams, who ia selling goods there for tho accommodation of the I neighborhood and those resident perma j ueutly in tbe place, we are allowed to ! occupy a comfortable school room, with I good fireplace and situated quito near the Springs. This is quite to our taste, and enables us in our hurry through to step down and view thc Springs without delay in our journey. The strong sulphurous smell of tho water-compared by thc boys to "gunpowder"-readily suggests the properlies of the water, it is situa ted on the ricjit bank of the Suwannce river, and I expect, when not overflowed, has a high temperature, as the water is very warm now, though completely over flowed by the River, which is much swollen by the heavy rains. A very largo building bas been built immediate ly over the Springs with atcps leading down into the water, several bath rooms partitioned off for accommodation of tnosc ucsiniig Ui miine, wi?o other con veniences. Altogether, I think White Springs a very pretty pince, and, though deserted now, gay enough in Summer. On the morning of the lit h we move ntr in the direction of Lake City, in Columbia County, which place we pass about twelve o'clock. This little town ?i.is nhnut fifteen hundred inhabitants, and presents quito a business appearance. Carts with fruits and vegetables are com ing in, and pedestrians hurrying along through the streck?, make it look more like a live town than any place we'vo passed since ?caving ?o?iei*dOU. There is a lake on either side, of it, from which it derives ita name, and which renders it very picturesque in appearance; ?MU we nre nt one?; unanimous in pron Mincing it a beautiful place. Lake City alfords one of tho great ncccssitioa of Florida: a rai)roui], supplying the mesas cf quick transportation, tims affording ready ship ment to Northeni markets for fruits, veg etables, &c. It is quito a sight to us all to see so many green peas growing-fields with five, teu, fifteen nnd one of twenty-five ncres in green peas. I am told over thirty thousand dollars' worth were shipped from Lake City last season. Leaving thia thrifty-looking little town, we move on towards Newnansville, which is the next town on our route. To-night we stop hy invitation with Mr. Stephen U. Quinn, who lives eleven miles from town, and who informs us that houses are few and far betwen along the road. Mr. Quinn is a young man but ugood farmer. Has three cribs full of corn, several hun dred bushels of potatoes to sell ; rice, sugar, syrup, everything i?? uses lie raises himself, except coffee and Hour. This is independence. G. II. S. Iutere.HlIng Interview of Uovernor Simp sou hy the Correapo-idenl of the (Jiu ciutmti Kuquircr. Correspondent-Governor, in view of the fixed political complexion in ?South Carolina, which may as well be ucccpted as a political tact, and in view of the pos sible influence arising therewith, it has become important to know the policies and political preferences finding accept ance with your people. I have, therefore, called to know your Excellency's views touching certain quotiuus of interest to the public. Governor-I am quite willing that you should know my individual views touch ing matters of public policy, and though not elected to office with particular refer ence to my opinions touching such mat ters, I think thu views I entertain and hold are in common with my fellow-citi zens generally in the South. Cor.-Who do you prefer for President, and ought he to come from the East or thc West? Gov.-I prefer Senator Bayard for President over any mau in the United Slates,. He is pure in chnro'.-ter which is thc first and most important qualification-exalted in intellect and sound in politics. I think he has the best conception of tho true theory of our system of government of any of our pub lic men, and his integrity of character would not allow him to deviate from that theory for any purpose whatever. 'Tis strange that the pr-jple of the United States don't see this, and breaking through party trammels, don't put him at the head of the government. Next to Bayard I would prefer Hendricks or Thurman. Not because they are from thc West, I don't think that the question of locality should have anything to do with this matter. That idea implies that a lurge number of electors could be in duced to vote for a man simply on ac count of his locality, without regard to his political views or character. I have ti higher opinion of the masses than this, and I don't think we should pander to this idea. If there seemed to be any chance for Hancock I would prefer him next to Bayard. I don't know nny man in the East suitable for the place. Cor.-What are your views about hard money? Gov.-As a citizen I am ft hard money man, but iii the election of President, I think every question of mere legislation ought to be subordinated to thc higher question of confining the general govern ment to its constitutional orbit. That is the vital question of the day with us-in fact, the very existence of the govern ment of our fathers dependa on it-and where a man is sound on that, this cov ers a multitude of faults on matters of mere legislation. We had better decide thc question whether we shall have the right to legislate before we fall out about what measurees we shall adopt. Cor.-What do you say as to the solid South ? Gov.-As to the solid South? That matter is perverted. The South is not sol iii tis a section against the Nortli as a Bcction. The people of tho several Southern States are solid in the belief that we in the South have been most un justly dealt with by the Republican par ty, since thc war, in overthrowing our governments, and putting us under the heel of ignorance, corruption nnd inca pacity. They are solid in the belief that the only rescue from this utute of things is the restoration in each State ol'integri ty with competency, and as these quali ties were found alone in the Democratic party of these States, thut that party should be placed in power; and inasmuch as the danger to this came from the general government transcending ita constitution al powers and interfering with the inter nal affairs of thc States, they are solid, too, in the belief that that government ought to bo confined to its constitutional boundary, and they aro surprised that the people of the Northern States are not sol id on the tamo line, becmise t hi? 5* no sec tional question, but it is a question which lies among the foundation stones of the government. Cor. - D'} you think that thc Democratic party South ought to demand it place on the national ticket in 1880? Gov.-I don't think the Southern Democrats ought lo demand a place on thc national ticket as a sine que non-cer tainly not ou the ground of locality. No ; what wo want is good government ; aud what I mean by good government is ns already stated, constitutional governnwit. We don't care anything about office. No doubt the South could furnish men emi iuently qualified, but ofiire is a small matter to us compared to the great ques tion cf getting t!?s national government back io ?ia old iHOOTinge. Bayard ?.nd Hendricks would start this government right for tho Becond century. - Many n young mnn is very agreea ble in social parties, but can't do much more than support himself. For a girl to marry such a fellow is taking great risks. To mnrry a man who has nothing but a salaried situation is imprudent, I'etter wait until by economy ne ha? something to begin married life on. Il he really loves he can wait a while, and if he hos a manl y nature he can restrict himself of some enjoyments so as to savi money to begin matrimonial life with, If ho won't do that he in roi fish, and not likely to make a good husband. If he can't, then certainly expecting his salary to Htipport comfortably himself and a wife is absurd. Love is indispensable for married life, but some home comfort1 are absolutely need ful to make marriec life very agreeable. Even if a man ha! ?orno means it may bo very unwise tc ,'isk a marriage partnership with him If he is a little dissipated, or mean ant selfish, or unprincipled, nil thc won trait ; of his character are likely to b manifested os soon as the honeymoon i over. _ ACKNOWLEDGED.-Chemist** and phy ?talan* nay that.

GRANT, FATHER ANO SON.-Royalty is already partly established among us. Hereditary privileges are coming in voguo. A son of Gen. Grant is accorded privileges which wouid not bo extended lo him but for tho fuct that bc is a sor of Gen. Grunt. Birth giving to him politi cal advantages over American citizens in general. In the army Frederick Dent Grnnt had already beer, rapidly promoted, not on the ground of meri% but owing to tho ac cident of birth. Now he has been grant ed leave of absence for two years, or as some accounts say, for an unlimited time -to accompany bi? father on a govern ment vessel to India, China nnd J:.pan. Hi? pince, meanwhile, on Gen.Sheridan's staff is to be retained for him. Here is favoritism-flagrant favoritism -on account of birth. It is akin to an hereditary nobility-a departure in tbo direction of monarchial government. We have no personal ill will toward this youug man, but, we will sparc no one who stands in the sunlight of tho vi tal American principle of equality. Yet out of this nettle danger will wo pluck the flower of safety. This unwar ranted favoritism to young Grunt will nerve to make the very name of Grant as the synonym of an upstart hereditary nobility-hated and nbhorred by masses of the American people.-N. i Sun. A CERTAIN CURE FOR CHILLS AN? FEVER.-Several years ago I waa travel ing with a very intelligent Knnsns stock dealer. In the course of a conversation he remarked thut in the early settlement of that State he had suffered much, as all early Bottlers always do in the West, from this diseuse Ho had used the ordinary remcdiea, largely composed of quinine, with the usual results-curing, for the time being, to return again in a week or two. Being among some of the Indian? south of that State, ho carno across a French man who called himself a doctor. Thhi man advised him to get un ounce of enmphor, all in one piece, if possible, sow it up in n smnll cloth hag, hanging it round his neck with n tapo, BO it would come nt tho bottom of tho sternum oi breast bone, and securing it there witli another tape round the body, to keep il in place. Th?8, he said, would all evapo rato in a week or ten days, when he mus trot another and uso it in the annie way Two ounces thus used, costing 20 cents would cure, he declared, the worst casi of ague so it would never come back The Kansas man declared that ho bat tried tlits remedy in hundreds of cases and had never known it to fail. Sinei obtaining this information I have tried i many times, with the Hame results. G< simple and harmless a remedy ought t< be in general use.-Prairie Fanner. MRS. SENATOR GORDON.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Chicag Times relates tho following : Some people were sneaking the otbc day of thc regul.<;ity with which Mrs. Set ator Gordon attends tho sessionn of th Senate, and the keen interest with whic alie watches tho debates. One of tl r.nrly snid that she is so devoted to hi lusband that she goes with him ever where. During the war ?ho took h( two little boys, ono almost a baby, an ; lived with her husband in camp, folloi ? ing him into battle, in fact, sharing a thc danger with him. She hud an an . bulance at her service, and it was in th . that she used to follow him. When 1 was so seriously wounded, she lind her nr bu!?nco drive" rio-hf, into the hattle-fie.l mid had him pulled out from amor . the dead and wounded and placed in tl . am bu bi nee and she drove nfl" with hil All of this was done under the heavie fire, and thc cover of the nmbulance w . pierced with bullet-holes. Somo o x said to her : "How could you have t nerve todo it ?" "Why," replied M i Gordon, "I did not think any more i it than I should of pulling ono of t (, boys out of tho fire if he lind fallen ii "?" ' A Ludicrous Scene.

God-Ills Existence. There either is or is not a Supreme Be ing. If there is a Supremo being, then he is entitled to tho adoration and wor ship of all his intelligent creatures. If there is no Supreme Being, then what is called religion is a vanity. Such Be ing the case, it must bo evident, to any reflecting mind, that so much is involved in this question that it is by far the most important inquiry that cnn be presented to us. By far the greater number of the human family believe there is a God, und render to bim some sort of adoration and worship. Thi-- has always been tho caso and, perhaps, always will bo so. In all ages there have bee?t u few individ uals who have, in words, at least, denied tho existence of a God. Such persons aro called atheists. Practic? atheists alway a have been numerous and practical athe ism common. It has been the prevail ing opinion that those who ?ay they aro atheists are not, in fact, what tney sny they are. It is manifest that it is the duty of each member of thc human family to br. saintficd, upon good and reliable evidence', whether there is a Gad or not. O', those who profess to believe in the existence of a God, many, no doubt, have never in vestigated the subject. They have sim ply assented to what others have stated to them. In this they have exhibited great credulity, but not much wisdom. The existence of a Supreme Being ii a matter of too much importance to be treated so lightly. That there is a God may be inferred from tho existence of the universe. With regard to .he vast universe, a part of which constantly comes under our ob servation, and a part of which each one of the human family is, it may be remark . cd that it either coated itself, is self existent, or was created. It will hardly bo claimed that the world created itself. If so, wo may conclude that at some pe riod it did not exists-it was a nonentity ; yet when it was not, it had creative pow er-a power sufficient to produce itself. Such reasoning is too absurd to be accept ed ns correct by any sane mind. To say that n thing could create itself, is the samo thing as to say that a thing is and is not nt tho same time. It is little, if any, less absurd to say that the universo always existed, aud existed in and of itself, or is Bclf-existent. To suppose that the universe is self-existent is tosuppo.so that it possesses one of the incommunicable attributes of a Supreme Hoing. If the universe is self-existent, then it is not under the control of laws outside of itself. Self-existence includes absoluto independence. This is contra ry to facts. Wo see that every portion of the universe which comes under our ob servation is controlled by laws which nei ther originate in it nor reside in it. Ev ery one of un is conscious that wo aro controlled by laws over which we have no control. These laws do not reside in un ; choy ure lodged in some ono out side of us. We may safely conclude that tho universe neither made itself nor is eternal in ita being. It had a beginning, and consequently was, at some period, it mnttcrs not when, created. If create;!, then it had a creator, and that creator waa God-the Supreme Being. Another proof of tbe existence of a Su preme Being, is the maries of design which aro manifest in all things. No ono will deny that there are evidences of design in tho universe. We Bee design in tho animal kingdom. Somo animals are designed to live on tho land ; others in the air; others in tho water, and snmo animals are fitted to live either in tho water or on thc land. Tho same is true concerning tho vegetable kingdom. Somo vegetables are designed for trop ical climes, while others flourish only in temperate latitudes. In those regions where tho Hpple matures to perfection, tho orange will not bear. Wheat will not reproduce itself in equatorial regions. It is manifest that the animals and veg etables aro adapted to tho places whero they are found. Manifestations of design aro seca in the bark and leaves of trees ; ia the stalks of grass; in tho coverings and teeth of animals, and tho very structure of the earth itself. If there ?3 evidence of de sign, it is clearly evidence of a designer. Who, then, designed all these things? The only satisfactory answer ia God. It is vain to Bay that nature designed all things, for wc may ask what is nature? Tho harmony which is seen in the uni verso is another proof of a Supreme Be ing. This harmony is so great that amongst all tho parts which enter into the. vost whole, there is not the least con flict. This earth on which wo live and in whose bosom we are soon to find our long homo, has two motions. Tho one is called tho daily and the other tho year ly. Tho daily is its revolution ou ita owu axis. This takes place every twenty lour hours and produces night and day. The circumference of earth at the equa tor, is more than twenty-five thousand miles; heneo at the equator tho earth moves at the rate of more than ono thou sand miles each hour. Think, for ono moment, of a locomotive moving at the rate of one thousand miles an houri This would bo more tban sixteen miles per minute. Such a train would be heard by tho inhabitants of the whole region through which it would pasa. No human being could act as its engi neer. But great ns is this speed of the earth in its daily motion, what ia it when compared with that in its annual revolution round tho sun. In every three hundred and sixty-five and one fourth days, tho earth raak^s a circuit round thc sun. This annual revolution causes the chango of season.!. The dis tance passed over is six hundred millions of miles I What a distance I The mind cnn form no clear idea of what it means. Six hundred millions of miles per yenr, would bc at tho rate of eighteen miles per second ; or sixty-four thousand eight hundred miles per hour. This is suffi cient to startle us but we need not fear, for astronomers tell us that the earth has not varied in its revolutions the one hundredth part of a second iu two thou sand years. It hos never come in con tact with any other portion o? the uni verse, nor has any other part come in contact with it. Perfect harmony pre vails. Wo neither feel a jar nor hear any Bound. Tbe child's littlo toy-wagon, when "died over the nursery floor makes moro noise than the revolutions of this ponder f ous earth. ? If there is not a Supreme Being, who 1 manaf.es the earth in its revolutions we may a ?kt Are we not in danger of be ing dnshed into atoms at any moment? if ibero is no God-no Supremo Being -we are in a perilous condition.- York ville Enquirer.
