J., March 26.?The pro? prietor of a billiard saloon here was ar? rested for refusing to allow negroes to Slay. The United States Commissioner isoharged the prisoner and dismissed the complaint The Commissioner says it is true that the public may visit a bil? liard saloon as they may go to a store; hut every one cannot play there, as every one cannot buy in certain stores. The store-keeper may select his cus? tomers. 1 - Briery place which is accessible to all is not necessarily a place of public amusement To say everybody can go to a billiard saloon, does not determine its character, nor does the fact that a license is required moke it a place of ? publio amusement A license is taken out for a peddler's wagon, but it does not thereby become a place of public amuse? ment; there is nothing in the license idea by which we can determine the true nature of the place, j A licensed place may still be so regulated as practically to exclude the publio.. It is asked, what is a billiard saloon, if it is not a place of amusement? I answer at best, and only in a limited sense, or in a qualified man? ner, can it be called unlace of publio amusement,^ It is the private business of a private party, conducted as it suits the keeper; it is no more a place of pub? lio amusement than a drinking saloon. Evidently, into the latter no man has a right to go and take a drink without leave of the proprietor. The applicant may be refused, and driven away, for rea? sons best known to the owner, and which he is not bound to disolose. Tho Civil Bights Bill has nothing to do, and was intended to have nothing to do, with such places. Baltimore, March 26.?Col.

March 20 Florida?its Great Advantages in Productions, Climate, &c. A recent visit to South Florida, and a personal investigation into the apparently wild arid j fabulous stories that I had heard about the attractions of that sec? tion! arid; tho enormous profits to be derived from raising oranges, lemons, times, bananas and other tropical fruits, proved so clearly to my raina the truth of all I bad heard, that I have been in? duced to go back, with a view of going into the fruit culture, and with a view of inducing some of my friends to join with me in investing a little capital in the business. I propose to draw their attention to it in this way: Until the last four or five years, less has been known of Florida, to' the gene nd public, than, perhaps, uny other State; but it is now become tho great thoroughfare for Northern visitors, who, driven by the cold of the North, flock in thousands to tho bright and balmy skies and truly delightful climate of tho "Land of Flowers." it is the great re? sort, not only of the invalid, who goes to recruit, in its temperate and delightful nir, his suffering and exhausted frame, but the pleasure-seeker here seeks and finds never ending attractions in the beautiful scenery of the St. John's and Oclawaho. When basking in the Trich mellow warmth of a January sun, and breathing air fragrant with fruits and flowers, he may well forget tho cares and trials of a business world, nnd dream that he is truly in fairy land. Tho sportsman, too, here finds ever varying scenes of pleasure and amusement. The lakes and rivers are teeming with fish of every imaginable kind. Game of all kinds is abundant?deer, turkeys, ducks and small game of every kind abound. Tho health of Florida, as shown not only by the experience of those who live there, but by the medical statistics of the United States, ranks pre-eminently ahead of that of any other State. I know a contrary opinion has existed, and that Florida has been supposed to be a State of chills and fevers. This is not the case. On tho contrary, with tho ex? ception of a few locations, near the swamps, and on a few exceptional water courses, the health of Florida is as good as that of the mountains of South Caro? lina An article I lately read from the pen of Edward King, says truly of Florida: "What poet's imagination, seven times heated, could paint foliage whoso splen? dors should surpass that of the virgin fo? rests of the Oclawoha and Indian Rivers? What 'fountain of youth' could be ima? gined more redolent of enchantment than the Silver Spring, now annually visited by fifty thousand tourists; the subtle moonlight, the perfeot glory of the dying sun, as he sinks below a ho? rizon fringed with fantastic trees; the perfume faintly borne from the orange grove, the mumerous rfiusio of tho waves along the inlets and the mangrove covered banks, are beyond words. Its heats are tempered by the Gulf of Mexico, on the one hand, and the Gulf Stream, which flows along the Eastern coast for three hundred miles, on the other. Over the level breadth of ninety miles, between these two waters, blow odorous and health-giving ocean winds. There tho Northerner, wont to boast of the brilliant sun-sets of his own clime, finds nil his past experiences outdone." The climate during the winter months is too well known for it to be necessary for me to allude to that; but the summer is proportionately temperate. The peculiar shape of the State is such that every Eart of it is visited by the breeze, either ?om the Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. The nights are always cool and pleasant, and tho extreme heat in mid-summer never reaches as high us it does further North. Outside of the city of Jackson? ville it is a very rare thing to see the thermometer reach ninety degrees, and there it only does when caused by reflec? tion from the sand and water. It is impossible for me, in this brief article, to more than allude to the cha? racter and nature of the fruits of this section. In extreme South Florida, in? numerable tropical fruits flourish, many oven growing wild? oranges, limes, ba? nanas, cocoanuts, pine apples, gnavas, and many others. About one hundred miles South of Jacksonville - is culled South of the frost line. 'Tis here where the principal efforts are being made in fruit raising. Tho whole country seems adapted to the growth of oranges, lemons and bananas. Fine apples, cocoanuts and gnavas are not so successful, unless in the extreme Southern portion of the State. In choosing a location, accessi? bility is the main thing, where shipping can bo got, without too much inland transportation. Locations near the navi? gable rivers and lakes nre, of course, more valuable than in the interior, where miles of transportation would he necessary by wagon. The rapidity with which tho desirable places are being purchased and taken up, has increased the price of lands very much. Many places that could have been bought live years ago for fifty cents to two dollars per acre, aro now worth fifty dollars to ono hundred dollars. Still many good and desirablo places can still bo got at from ten dollars to twenty dollars per acre. Many Government lands are reserved for homesteads, and can be had by bona fide Bettlers for merely tho fees of entry. Theso lands, after being occupied five years, are transferred in fee to the settler, who also has the privilege of commuting, as it is called, for them, after six months occupancy; that is, purchase them at one dollar and twonty-five cents per acre. These lands cannot be purchased in any other way. The section of Florida that is being settled up moro rapidly than any other is, perhaps, Orange and Volusia Counties, along and a few miles from tho St. John's River. Orange County five years ago had less than one hundred voters; now it has one thousand, and rapidly in? creasing. Between Mellonville ana Or? lando, the County scat, a distance of over twenty miles, one is scarcely out of Bight of a house the whole distance. Settlers are pouring in on ovory boat, every State being represented. California, in the early days of the gold discoveries, did not show a moro varied or excited popu? lation than is now seen in tho golden fruit hearing Counties of Florida. Here, however, seems ono region, where trou? ble-brewing politics has no place. The people all are intent on improving their condition and reaping a golden reward for their labors. The orange is the fruit that is being most generally cultivated. This is of slow growth, as it takes eight to ten years before trees planted from the seed are fully bearing. This is short? ened, however, by putting out trees of one to four years old, which aro obtained at a cost of twenty-fivo to fifty cents each. The plan now being generally adopted is to set out sour or wild orange trees and bud on them. In that way they are made to bear the third year, and by the fifth are fully benring. Mature hearing trees produce 2,000 to 3,000 oranges each?some trees even 5,000 to 8,000. Counting sixty trees to the acre? most of the old groves have 100?would give, say 12,000 oranges its a crop per acre. Counted at ?20, a very low price, we have $2,400 as the proceeds of the crop. This may be said to be net, as crops aro usually sold on the trees and gathered by the buyer. The general price paid, too, is $2.50 to $3 per 100. The demand for Florida oranges is such thnt years and years must ensue of most successful cultivation before the supply can reach the present demand, to say no? thing of tho increase. At present the home demand consumes all that are raised. Few, if any, are sent off for sale. Northern and Western merchants are compelled to bo satisfied with the inferior imported orange, which is as much inferior to the sweet and jucy orange of Florida as is our acid, Bour wild grape to tho cultivated Isabella or Black Hamburg. Prices of Florida oranges arc much more apt to improve than to decline in the next few years. Now, as an 'investment, where can or how can money be invested as safely or as profitably as in raising oranges? $500 invested in that way will certainly, in five or six years, yield ten-fold. The crops are certain; not subject to the doubts and uncertainties of the planters of rice, cotton or sugar; but can be relied on as regular and certain. It is true, several years must elapse before any material re? sults can be had; but the time is not very long, and the results proportion? ately large. The country is one pleasant and delightful beyond" description to live in; living is cheap, and, while it may be an El Dorado for the poor man, it has charms and attractions that wealth can make no place surpass it. A compa? ratively small investment, that promises such brilliat results, is in the reach of all, or most of us, and should not be ne? glected. Deflecting over this, and know? ing at the same time how difficult it is to make up our minds to move to a new section, breaking up all our old ties and associations, and also how useless is an investment entrusted to ordinary agents, and at a distance from our own ininiedf^ ate supervision and attention, I have de? termined and hereby propose to act as agent for such friends as are able and willing to invest in this business of planting out orange orchards, taking charge of the business and giving it my personal attention; doing all this on shares or for one-third to one-half of the property improved. The cost of plant? ing an orange grove is about $100 per acre, exclusive of the land. I propose to choose a desirable location, with special view to shipping facilities, pleasant and healthy location, and in the line of the present wave of improvement This I would improve as rapidly as possible, planting it out, with special reference to dividing up in a fair and satisfactory manner amongst those interested; giving it my personal earn and attention, until such time as tk~. property begins to pay a profit, or the different interested ones take charge themselves?I taking one half of the property for my work, care and attention, and turning over half to those furnishing means for investment. In this way, parties with but small capi? tal can secure a valuable property, free from the heavy and uncertain expense of keeping a regular paid agent, whose annual expenses would exceed the first cost of the property. La this way, parties investing, say even $200, would receive, say one acre of an improved grove, worth, as soon as it begins to pro? duce, or anywhow in five years, $2,000 to $3,000, and, in ten years, $10,000. These figures may look excessive, but they are not an aco below profits that have been made in this business within the last few years. I propose to make improvements in such a manner as to enable each and every person interested in it to take possession of their portion at any time they may so desire; planting out the groves in such a manner as to make divisions practicable and easy for each and every one, and also with a view of giving a desirable location to those in? tending to make it their homes. I rely confidently on tho knowledge that my friends and the people generally of South Carolina have of me, that not only with anything entrusted to my care be pro? perly attended to, but that the same real energy and attention will be given to their business as if it were exclusively my own. Any inquiries or further information that my bo wanted, will be promply fur? nished by addressing mo at Quincv, Florida, or to the care of Col. L. D. Childs, Carolina National Bank, Colum? bia, S. C. Partioa sending money for investment can do so to Col. Childs, Columbia. Any sums from $100 and up? wards will be invested. It should be borne in mind, nlso, that should at any time, even after but one year, parties wish to withdraw, it con be done at a profit JAMES G. GLEBES. Columbia, S.
