^ciaomTjTj A rang Spring ?md Stummer. Spring is growing np, Is it not ? pitvV She WM snob a little thing, And so rory prettyl Sommer ia extremely grand, We must pay her duly; (But it is to little Spring That she owes her beauty! ) All the bnds are blown. Trees are dark and shady; .(It was Spring who dressed them, though, i Bach a little lady!) And the, bird? sing loud and sweet Their enohanting hist'ries; (It waa Spring who taught them, though, Suoh a Binging mistress! ) Prom the glowing sky Summer shines above us; Spring was auch a little dear, But wUl Summer love us? She ia rory beautiful, With her grown up blisses; Summer we must bow before Spring we ooax'd with kisses I Spring ia growing up, Leaving us so lonely; In tho (.Into ui ??nie Boring, We hare Summer only! Summer, with her lofty airs, And her etatoly i .oes, In the place of little Spring, With her childish graces! A Second Artemas Ward girts the Statistic* of Florida. The Florida Peninsular publishes the iollowing letter in answer to par? ticular inquiries -which a gentleman in Alabama had directed to the post? master at Manatee, Fla. : MANATEE, S. FLA. fi. C. H., Auburn, Ala.: ? Your letter addressed to the post? master of thia village is duly to hand. The locality is very healthy, and has.never boon sickly; but the people aro delicate, mostly complaining of their heads (and they have just oause of complaint) and the emptiness of .their'pockets and stomachs. We are fifteen miles from Egmont light? house, and directly on the Manatoo River, -when we are not in it, which .happens whenever there is a high ?ide. which empties into Tampa Bay, Which emplea into the Gulf of Mex? ico. The inhai?LTa oro subject to all the f iishiouablodiseases, but rarely ??er have them all at once, not being able to afford luxuries. We keep on hand the yellow, bilious, putrid, typhoid, typhus, broken-bone, inter? mittent, rheumatic and greenback fever-the last named generally fatal to old persons. The water is good to sail upon and to catch fish out of, but the only creature that can drink it without Whiskey and sugar, and with impuni? ty, is the alligator. We drink any think that is given us; but when we are obliged to use water, we prefer rain water, which we don't catch in cisterna, but in gourds, barrels and Eaddles. We have only one spring ere, and that is on Peter Shorter'a ox cart. ' We have very little real land hero, but plenty of sand and Gates' field and Polo t's water-melon patch. The products ore saw-palmetto, wild hogs, and fleas. The country is timbered in the usual manner, with trees; they are of great size; two trees usually make one bee-gum. The more one plants upon an acre, the less it will produce, at least above ground. The largest game we have is "aoven np," or "old sledge," and now and tuen "poker" and "brag" .very little, brag here, however. We have two kinds of society Christians and heathens; very little of th? former. We have only one church in the town, and that is pine, I believe, but I will let you know positively in my next. The political people are mostly black and white. We have no radi? cals, and unless we get one soon, I'udging from appearances, there will ie none to spare from tho North, the late elect; o us having used up their stock. Our school teacher is a very good man. Ho never beats his wife or children, and, I believe, clothes and feeds them. This is hearsay, how? ever. We have but one school, but lhere is plenty of room for more. We havo only one lawyer. His ability to chargo is good, but his practice hardly pays. We havo a population here, and if many moro people como, or are born here, it will increase. For cou scion oe- sake, it may bo divided into classes-mule and female. I nearly iorgot another largo class; they wear trowsers, but aro called "old wo? men." There aro many blacks here, priu cipally iiill Hunter and his charming wife. Mrs. Hunter's conduct ns maiden, wife and mother has been most exemplary; but I' am sorry I cannot speak so highly of Mr. Huu tor, for he charges ono dollar and fifty cents per day for his work whereas Primus Gutes, our other co lored brother, only gets tau dollaT 4>er month. There aro printed newspapers in tho town; but they are printed before they get here from Tampa. Our markets aro verv good-when we reach them. I will nomo a few: Now York, New Orleans, Boston, Capo Cod,.Jersey City, and Shaw's Point. Our way of getting our gar? dening "saree" to market, if wo hate any to sell, will bo per Brady's flat, Lee's cofflu, and Griffith's pollywog. The cars don't run hero, but away from here. Tho neoroat depot ie Cedar Keys-distauco, 105 miles. The nearost railway in^proceas of ? f = construction ? the Pacific Railroad. Tho director? speak of haring a branch to start from the Big Joe Hammock, Labsr ia mote easily secured and controlled here than in any part of the United States (tho reconstructed part.) One has to. be one's own laborer; and it will be in your case, black or white; and until I see you, T can't tell you what you will be worth. We have emigrants here on the Miakn and Pease creek. Their in? tellect is of the Gopher and Mud turkle kind. We hav.o only one emigrant of extraordinary talent. He iii doctor, shoe-maker, tailor, harness and oarriage-maker, under? taker and sexton, blacksmith, mer-1 chant and widower. He requests | me to say "ho arn't no Yankee, nether." I hare no doubt that the people would agitato the politio?! ^nnfrises o? tao different factions if they knew how. The questions most agitated! here aie how to keep from, starving I and how to make anything out of our | neighbors. Our fruits are guavas, oranges, lemons, limes, huckleberries, and fid? dlers. The only garden vegetables we I have tero is a rare plant, called the | cabbage, and has only to be known to be appreciated. When you come, bring several of your kind of cabb age heads. ^ The potatoes grow to the enori aous I size of two to a bushel; but, in strict | truth, J must tell you our bushels, the ones we sell by, only hold a q aar t. You ask if tho winter is oppre ssive | in cold stages. We have no s tage, and only one buggy, and tho mulo that used to haul that, is dead. When we go anywhere wo eithe r get Loo's blind horse, or walk, or bo rrow somebody's boat. Tho new settlors Uko the country well enough to leave it if they hud money enough to pay their wa- f out of it. I dou't think I have negloctc d to answer noy of your questions, and will at all times be happy to ir apart to you, or ami of my friends, ai ry in? formation of which I may bo pos? sessed. I forgot to say that; we thought our postmaster was a y oung lady, but be turns out to bo a 1) utoh man. If you will send mo t welvo dollars worth of three cont pc ?tage stamps, I will hand ono to each preacher, to enable them to pi#e-pay their replies to your letters, ill) case you think this is not full en ough.

ELKIN A SON. United State? Currency ?nd Bx The currency of the United State o ia denominated decimal currency, the dollar (represented thus $) being tho unit; and on this basis all calculations are made. Ono dollar consists of 100 centB, and each cent of 10 mills, and may be written either $1 or $1.00. or $1.00.0, though thia latter form is somewhat unusual. So, again, "ono hundred dollars" ia written $100, or $100.00, as may be preferred: but where the two ciphers are added, as in the latter case, they must be prefixed by tho deci? mal point. The use of this will be obvious in the following illustration-say, one hun? dred dollars and twontw-flve cents, which is written $100.25, and BO on, for any amount. The dollar formerly in uso was tho Spa? nish dollar, (in silver,) the value of which waB 4s. Gd. sterling. This was taken and has nineo beon and still is used as the basie of exchange: and to this cause may be attributed most or muoh of tho mis? conception as to Amorican exchange. If $1 be worth 4s. Gd., what is the value in dollars of ?1, or 20a.? 4s. Gd.-44 shillings. 20 -m Then - -4.44.4, or 4 dois. 44 couts, 4} 0 and 4-10 of a cent, or 4 mills. Now, supposing tho standard of Ameri? can currency to be still the Spanish dol? lar, it is clear that $4.44.4 would represent at par tho ?JRIUO of ?1 sterling. But that standard has been changed-first, by a United States silver coinage, and thon by a gold one; so that now tno par value is about 9* per cent, above $4.44.4, or $4.86 per ?. Hence, when exchango is quoted, say IO94 to 110 in New York, it is about par-i. e., it is just as profitable to buy exchange at that price for a remittance as it is to send gold. I If the price be 111 to 112, it would pay expenses, and 1 per cont, to 2 per cent, in addition, to send gold; but if below IO'.).}, thero would bo loss in shipping gold. All oxebango is calculated upon a gold basis, but at tho present timo tho usual business of tho United States is transact? ed in'currency. This has to bo taken into account in settling any price quoted from there, or sending remittances for pay? ments; and this is dono in tho following manner-for instance: What is ?100 .worth in enrroncy, with oxchango, say, at 109A, and gold at 40 per cent, premium? ?1-441.44. Theroforo, ?100-444.44. And 444.41 at 109J-$486.65 in gold. Which, at 40 percent, premium-$681.31 in currency. Tho same process gives tho true result, lot tho rato of oxchango and premium on gold vary as they may. And, vice versa, to find the value of a givon amount of cur? rency in sterling: A in Now York wishes to pay B in Lon? don tho value of $8,600 currency in ster? ling. Oold is 136, and exchange 108}. How many pounds, shillings and poncomusthe send him? $4.44.4 at 10S} gives, say, I4.R2.2 in gold. Which at 36 prem.-$6.558 per ? sterling. $8,600 Theroforo,-?1,311 7s. Od., amo't $6.558 to bo remitted. And so again: What is the value in sterling of $1,000 in United States 5-20 bonds, when quoted at 111} in Now York, with gold at 134 and exchange 108? Prico of bonds-HU, i. e., lift premium. Then $1,000 at 11} premium-$1,115. $4.444 at 108-say, $4.80 in gold. Which at 34 prom.-$6.432 per ? sterliug. $1,115 Thoreforo,-?173 7s., value of $6.432 $1,000 in sterling. The difficulty to bo overcome by thone inexperienced will be with regard to the decimal points, in multiplying and divid? ing; but the working of ono or two ex? amples, and bearing iu mind what tho numbers represent, will fully obviate this. By noticing the prices of exchange and gold quoted daily in the papors, a correct answer to any query as to exchange can at onco ho wrought out by tho above. As all articles of American produce are quoted in currency, thia calculation must be made to determine the cost in sterUng; and SB the premium on gold and the rate of exchange are constantly varying, (though the latter to"a much less extent,) any one wishing to know tho value of any commodity from thenco must make fresh calculations utmost daily to insure exact? ness.
