Year by year the lame of the Land ot Flowers Increases, and valetu? dinarian hosts pass over its broad rivers and Iwander through its golden orange groves. The trade and commerce of the State are in a healthy condition, and give promise of a rapid development, so soon as the political bob goblin is laid. Yet tbe face of a 8outh Caro Inlan, whe'.her In search ol health or Incon? vertible currency, ls rarely seen along the St iohn's, on the sands of Fernandina, or in the j ireesy streets of St. Augustine. Charleston, I iowever, has a line of steamers running to J Corida equal to any vessels on the coast, and chen the public learn how easily and pleas-1 ntly the trip may be made, and how much I may Se-seen at a trifling cost, the number of visitors from Booth Carolina is sore to in-j crease. Indeed, ten days or a fortnight can not be more profitably spent than in taking a Jaunt to Florida, as tbe experience of an ex-1 carstoblst woo has jost returned sufficiently shows. 1SS FLORIDA STEAMERS. t Two finer steamers, the Dictator and City Point, now* ply between Charleston and Pal at ka. The Dictator is commanded by Captain I L. IL Coxetter, a most courteous and capable officer, who baa legions of friends in South I Carolina,- Georgia and Florida. TheiCity Point I la commanded by Captain McMillan, a young I Charleetonlan, who enjoys a high reputation as a cool and sagacious mariner. Both vessels are In admirable order. The City Point bas been refitted within the past two months. Their pursers, Mr. Matheson, of the Dictator, and Mr. Covedo, of the City Point, arel zealous and attentive. A good table Is kept, and the attendance is excellent. I LEAVING CHARLESTON rn the Ci ty Point at eight o'clock on Friday night, tho excursionist arrives at Savannah I belote, daylight on Saturday. The steamer does not sall, tor Fernandina nntll three o'clock In the afternoon, so that there ls ample time for roaming over j TBS FOREST 0ITT, j whose excellent pavements may well excite the envy o? a tender-footed Charleetonlan. The main business of Savannah appears to be transacted on Bay street, noon which are the newspaper offices, the banking houses andi the offices of the merchants, whose energy I and gc-aheadativeneas have made the city I what lt ls. Savannah Impresses the excursion lat as aril ve city in good repair, which most continue to flourish while there is j virtue. In pluck and hard work. The fleet of steamships and sailing vessels at the wharves I - make a gallant show, but they lie lengthwise, Instead of being moored "and on" as at 11 Charleston. This causes them to make a flner j < display than the same quantity of shipping I would do in this city. The excursionist bas - time to drive oat, by the shell road, to Bona-11 venture Cemetery, a weirdly beautiful God's acre, and to Thunderbolt, besides visiting the Pulaski monument, the fair grounds and the other lions of the place. By-the-way, the I Savannah fair promises to be unusually lm posing lc the number o? exhibitors and visi? tors. Upon leaving the city the excursionist I bas afine view of the river, and passing by I Fort Pulaski,' is soon steaming rapidly to Fer-1 nandlna. This point ls touched at during the night, and, before the ringing of the breakfast bel), I JACKSON VILLE la reached. This city ls situated ou the left bank of the St John's river, and does a large lumber business. Several mills are in full I blast, and thirty or forty schooners a month nod full cargoes. There are a number of large I new buildings In the city, the Freedmen's j Bank being conspicuous amongst them. Another striking building ls j TSE TRADE PALACE | of Forcbgott, Benedict A Co., a branch of the well-known Charleston h ou Be o? ? the samel name. This boase bas a huge stock of dry goods, and does, by far, the largest business I la Its line In the State of Florida. The store j ls handsome and commodious, and the busi-1 ness tact and enterprise or the proprietors puta them ahead ot every competitor. Jack Bonville bas a population of about 12,00}, which ls largely increased in the winter. It I ls difficult to say precisely how many Btran gera visit Florida during the winter, but at I least twenty thousand persons passed through the State In 1871-72. Most of these were gorgeously arrayed NORTHERNERS WITH PLETHORIC PURSES. Assuming that each of them spent only fl ft y dollars, they contributed a million o? dollars j to the support of the Floridians. Theory isl BtJ.il they come, and the Land of Flowers pro mises tb become the Land ot Greenbacks. But Florida, like Booth Caarollna, has been unmercifully fleeced by scalawag and carpet bagger, and at this moment POLITICS ARB BADLT MIXED, as there Is a decided spilt in the Radical ranks, J one faction having repudiated Beed, the I present governor, who, therefore, inclines to j the Conservative side. The Conservative candidate for governor Is Lieu tenant-Go vern- I or Wm. Bloxham, who was "counted out" io I 1668, osjd only obtained bis seat after a pro-1 tracted suit In the Supreme Court. Mr. Blox? ham Is a bright-eyed, keen-faced active man, I .f Irreproachable character. He has canvass? ed the State thoroughly, and his capital stump speeches have produced a marked effect upon the people. It is thought that he will receive I a large Republican vote, and hts election ls considered certain. Under the Florida con? stitution the governor appoints every officer I In the State excepting the constables. It ls, there!ore, of the first consequence to have an I able and upright maa la the gubernatorial chair. If Governor Bloxham be elected, the I worst oi FLORIDA'S TROUBLES ARE AT AN END. j The State is likely to cast its electoral vote I ior Greeley and Brown, but definite returns cannot be bad for at least tea days. The first reports will come from the Radical counties I whloh are on the Hoe o? the telegraph; the I reports from the Conservative counties will J be the last-to oome In. Florida is more heavily taxed thou Sooth Carolina. In Jack Bonville, the taxes amount to about five per cent. Alarmer oa toe SL John's, who paid a tax of sixty-nine dollars In 1869, had to pay j ?Ix hundred and seventy-four dollars on the I same property in 1872. Another farmer I ifcand his tax assessment mount up in the j same period from seven dollars to one bon* ] tired aod fifty dollars, and a third ?rom Ul dollars to turee hundred dollars. Thia t the Palmetto State. Jacksonville has t hotels, the St. James, the Union and THE METROPOLITAN, i which hotel ls close to the landing;, is kept In hi .nd so me style by Mr. Tog ni (fe erly ol Charleston) and Mr. Bettellnl. It truly comfortable house. Attached to hotel ls ar elegant billiard-room-finei far, than Charleston can show. This ls ni the superintendence of Mr. N. Fe h re nb act fourth hotel ls In course of erection, und a I ls projected. A short time ago THE REV. W. W. HICKS put in an appearance at Jacksonville, wt he dell ved two lectures; the subject of on them was Home, Sweet Home. Mr. Hicks preached several times In the city, and ls s thought of there. Gentlemen who knew 1 In Charleston say that he r?talos bis old and fervor, but that his voice ls broken, has bought a plantation on the St. John's, i proposes to go into the orange buBlnt Leaving Jacksonville at an early hour on M day morning, the excursionist passes up I St. John's Ri ver, a magnificent sheet of wat One of the lntereBtlng points ls Mandar where MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE resides. This lady seems to be rather tole ted than loved, and lt is believed that she not now as much enamored of Cuffee as wh she was engaged in cooking up the ghaa tin truths ef Uncle Tom's Cabin. At Tokol t excursionist leaves the steamer and takeB t railroad for St. Augustine, fifteen miles d tant It ls ' THE WORST RAILROAD IS THE SOOTH by long odds, and the dearest. The track ef wood; the car ls an ordinary King stre car, (as lt would be called In Charleston drawn by two attenuated mules. These Jc and Jump the excursionist along at the rate loor miles an hour. For the privilege of bell bruised black and blue and choked wltb dus be pays two dollars. During the three wlnb months the cash receipts of the road av?rai from (our to five hundred dollars a day. Sure! this should enable the company to do bette But they don't. BT. ACGC8TINE ls a quaint little place-the oldest town 1 America. Its chief Hon 1B the old fort of Si Marco-now Fort Marion. This fort ls tw hundred yeats old, more or lees, and is in tb custody of a Sergeant Maguire, who has a the good and. bad points of the cicerone c the period. A dungeon is shown where wer lound two skeletons singly packed in iroi cages, an earthen pitcher lying Just bayon the Up of each booy band. Serge? . Ma gul re suggests that these skeletons were thoa of two Spanish nobles ot high rank-a sor of MAN WITH THE IRON MASC business. The view from the ramparts li very I ne. Another sight is the old Rom ar Catholic Cathedral, where the lamp of UM sanctuary is said to baye burned, without in? termission, for more than two hundred years. The streets of St. Augustine range from ten tc fifteen feet wide; most of the old houses are built o? cochina, an artificial stone made ol lime and sea shells, wblcb appears to be inde? structible. St. Augustine is the headquarters at the manufacturers of PALMETTO HATS AND BONNETS. These are made principally by ladles. Some of the moBt tasty hats are ornamented with plumes of dried leathery grass, and are ex? ceedingly pretty. A. T. Stewart A Co., of New York, are large buyers of these bats. Last season more than five thousand dollars' worth were sent to that house. The St. Augusti? nians also make brooches, ear-ring?, sleeve? buttons, &c, o? alligators' teeth. These are elaborately carved. It may be noticed, In passing, that on the St. John's there is an active DEMAND FOR ALLIGATOR SKINS. These bringing a dollar each-small pay for hard shooting. They are exported to Europe and made Into boots. One Jacksonville house bas an order for two thousand of these skins. Old as lt iB-perhaps because of the absence of the eternal "pine and paint"-St. Angus tine Is a loveable place. The sea-wall makes a pleasant promenade, and the sarf bathing would freshen the most faded votary ol fashion. Returning to Tokol by the two-mule railroad, the excursionist again takes the steamer and rons np to PALATKA, a thriving little town, embosomed In orange groves. At this point the excursionist may, it be have Urns, take the steamer and run np to Enterprise. This enables bim to seethe most picturesque part of the St. John's. The country ls broken, and the chain of lakes, connected by the pellucid river, bordered by orange groves and fields of emerald sugar? cane, make up a scene of luxuriant beauty which ls not soon forgotten. But if the ex? cursionist's leave of absence ls inexorably lim? ited to eight or ten days, lt ls best for him, to return to Magnolia or Hibernia or QUEEN' COVE SPRINGS. These are settlements on the St John's; de? pending for their fortunes on the influx of health-seekers in the winter. The last named Is a town of some four hundred inhabitants. It has two hotels. Near one ot these-tho Clarendon House-and belonging to Its pro? prietor, Is the famous White Sulphur Springs which gives its name to the town. It dis? charges three thousand gallons a minute, and Its average temperature ls seventy-eight de? grees. From the spring the water passes into a bathing poul, twenty-five by one hundred feet, wbere snug little rooms and other appur? tenances give the bather every necessary com? fort and convenience. The spring has a magical effect upon persons suffering from rheumatic affections. An excellent boarding-house ls kept by Captain Henderson, who setUed at the springs more than forty years ago. In his garden is a horticultural curiosity, a tree bearing simultaneously five different kinds of irait-tba lemon, the citron, the sour orange, the sweet orange aod the grape fruit. A cosier pince than Green Cove Springs is hard to find. On Friday morning, the excursionist can now take the steamer Dictator, home? ward bound, which gives bim anight at Jack? sonville, and a few hours at FERNANDINA, which is a small place, with a large lumber business. Its one great feature ls the beach, along which the excursionist may, If be please, drive a distance of fifteen miles! The Dicta? tor leaves Fernandina on Saturday evening and brings the excursionist BACK TO CHARLESTON on Sunday afternoon. In the course of nine days he bas visited Savannah, Fernandina, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Palatka and the principal settlements on the lower St. John's, coming home wii h a clear head, a big appe? tite, a vivid idea of the beauty and healthfulness of Florida, and with a sharp regret that so few citizens o? the Palmetto State avail them? selves of the opportunity ot exploring the In? teresting and Invigorating country which lies, so to speak, at their very -doors. In Florida every taste can be gratified. There is abun? dant fishing and shooting, game is lound everywhere, the scenery ls lovely, and the hotel accommodations, especially at the places named, are everything that can be desired. Before the season ts passed, many a Cbarles tonian, lt Is hoped, will pay at least a flying visit to the beautiful Land o? Flowers. SALVE IMPERATOR ! WE HATE MET THE ENEMT AND WE ABE THEISS. The Crushing Defeat of the Liberal Candidates, and the Re-election of Grant by an Astounding Majority. The telegraphic reports received at THE NEWS office up to daybreak thiB morning, unfortunately leave no room for doubting that General Grant ls re elected President of the United States byan overwhelming majori? ty. Even in the Democratic strongholds tbe Badioals bave polled an increased vote, and New York, the keystone of the Liberal movement, electa the whole Re-j publican ticket by a majority verging on thir? ty-five thousand. Hr. Greeley carries all the States which cart their vote for Seymour in 1808, with tbe Important exceptions of New Jersey, New York and Oregon. Against these losses he can only set a victory In Ala* bama, Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee, which States were carried by Grant four rears ago. To summarize the result, General Grant has certainly gained 263 of the j ?66 electoral votes, leaving only 113 to Mr. Greeley, with a probability that some of these m no ri ty votes may be lopped off when the )fflolal returns oome In. It ls idle now to Indulge In vain regret, and t ls to be hoped that the Liberals throughout .he country, although stung by defeat, will lot attempt to make a scapegoat of honest ?orace Greeley, whose overthrow ls due, not o bis own shortcomings, but to the apathy, If tot siupidlty, of the Democratic masses, and to he Immense power, unscrupulously exercised, if the Federal administration. What Horace Greeley has not been able to do, no other .ail-Grant candidate would have had any nance to accomplish. Nor ls the Liberal j novement dead. It ls the party of the future, rhloh will whip tho administration Into better lehavlor during the four years to come, and hall hurl them to political perdition In Ne -ember, '76._ THE BAT'S WORK. i Brief Statement of the Result or tbe Election.

In New York City Kernan, the Liberal can ildate for Governor, ran ahead of Greeley, but ?a defeated by the rural vote. The race between Havemeyer and Lawrence Tor mayor of New York ls very close. Jimmy O'Brien ran far behind his opponents. Messrs. Brooks, Wood, Roberts and Creamer j are elected to Congress. Conklln will undoubtedly be re-elected United States Senator from New York. In Pennsylvania thousands of Democrats stayed away from the polls. Hence the Im? mense Grant majority. The general opinion is, that the Liberal defeat is attributable to Democratic obstinacy and apathy. Tbere are great crowda in Printing House J Square, and tbe excitement Is Intense. _ . NTH.

Southerly winds, oloudy weather and rain In the South Atlantic States. THE LATE MRS. GREELEY, It ls generally conceded that Mrs. Greeley, wife ot -Horace Greeley, was a remarkable woman. The New York World states that her character was as original and as strongly marked as that of her husband, but of a widely different type. She was of a floe, delicate sensitive, nervous organization, whose sus? ceptibility had been Increased by many years ot physical infirmity. She was of a Blight, lra glle make, and before .disease and time had set their effacing marks, she must have had great personal beauly. The vivacity which er features were lormed to express remained to the last, and continued to be manifested through dark eyes of slngalar life and brillian? cy, wblcb, la the animated conversations wltb friends whloh seemed to form her chief pleas? ure, were alternately lighted up with deep earnestness and playful humor. She was a woman|ol very Intense nature, of acute per? ceptions, and the strength of conviction on a wide range of moral and social subjects char? acteristic of mtnds of perfect independence, which Instead of servilely accepting current conventionalities, question them sod Judge them. She was one of those rare women who do oet look at tblogs through other people's eyes, but through their own, and by whom form nias, religions or social, are not accepted as a substitute for living faith and personal conviction. Her Intellect was remarkably quick, fertile, clear and ingenious; and if the pulmonary malady of which she bas been tor nearly twenty years tbe victim had not damp? ened effort, she would have been distinguished as one of the leading spirits of her sex. - lithe keen observations on life and society which ?so readily came to her tongue in unrestrained' conversations with ber friends had round ex? pression through fier pen, and gone Into litera? ture, she would have ranked as one of the most gifted female authors of the period. Mr. Greeley, lu one or his books, gives a pleasant description of the mannet In which bis wife managed ber domestic economy: "My wife, whose acquaintance I made at the Graham House, and wbo waa long a more faithful, consistent disciple ot Graham than I was, In our years of extreme poverty kept her house la strict accordance with ber convic? tions, never even deigning an explanation to her friends and relatives who from time to time visited and temporarily sojourned with us; and, as politeness usually repressed com? plaint or inquiry on their part, their first ex? periences of a regimen whloh dispensed with all they deemed most appetizing could hardly be observediwlthout a smile. Usually a day, or at most two, of beans and potatoes, boiled rice, puddings, bread and batter, with no con? diment but salt, and never a pickle, was all they could abide; so, bidding her a kind adieu, each In turn departed to seek elsewhere a more congenial hospitality."
