Curi enpondencc.] Mki.o.n villk, Oiia.nok Co. Fla.. Slarch. 20tli, 1870. Here we are. up or down the St. John 1 *, and us hard tolling which. We are at the head of navigation for moderately sized stea mers, drawing three feet water; and are in formed that wo arc high up on the river, bat somehow we are very much impressed with the idea that we are “away away away <7oy<ie South in }Fix:e” and feeling that wo have heard, seen, and enjoyed mueh more in the few days p;st, since leaving Darling* ton, than it is possible to condense inte a single comnntnieation, and more especially a* a time and plaee, where every inducement offers for throwing aside the pen in exchange For .he iI2c or fishing rod, and when satiated w ththese pleasures, to vary by aramblc thro' the Orange groves} and very naturally put etf to a “more convenient season” spinning warn on papa-; but there seems to be but lit tic difference of seasons here, if all report.* arc true ••December, as is pleasant as May” and we are of opinion 'tisa little more pleas ant than May, considering the hot weather experienced yesterday and to day—therefore, without further delay—proceed with a hasty outline sketch, of our trip thus far. < )n re :< h. . »"harleston, after a few hours stroll about the city we found ourselves and pnrtv confortaLly lodged on board (he steam er “Dictator,” of the Florida and Charleston Line. 'When we say ^Uomforlabfy” wc mean it in the full broad sense of the word, everything conducive to comfort, neat, clean- !v n.cd eomiiud.vus state rooms, and saloon; intelligent, courteous, gentlemen for officers, with attentive servants and bounteous fare, caused us to congratulate ourselves that we had chosen this routa in preference to the Kail Road. The steamer left her wharf about half past 8 o’clock on Tuesday evening last, and was soon o -or the bar, wtiere wiih a stiff breeze we did not require a long argument front Mr. Nf.itu.nk, to satisfy us thoroughly that it wnsinst cs cheap to lie dowa as to sit up. whethcr’wo slept or not, thus convinced,.we retired from the deck, where the argument wa« held by “the sweet silver light of moon,” and under the serious conviction, that some thing disagreed with us, beat a histy retreat to our state-room, and there ’aid ns still as a mouse, until sleep came to the rescue. On am ling we found the steamer nearing her wharf at S.n ..nn.ih; break last over we were ady for a short tramp on Georgia soil; by -.c ste.uncr rcTJUUiing until three o’clock in i m • '■veiling we had several hours to spend j. ~» f the “Forest citythe the wwFrves present a busy scene of commer cial activity, quite a number of vessels of heavy tonage were in port, besides the fleet of smaller craft. We were too late in the market to form much of an opinion as to how it was supplied, but from all appearances, iu- fer that the supply is good as to quantity and variety, especially in the fruit, vegetable :.,id 3sh depart ineuts. Here too we ob served healthy, vigorous orange trees in bloom and at the sarae time retaining a good ly quantity of ripened fruit There is much to be seen in this beautiful place that bespeaks a high degree of taste and refinement for its inhabitants. The City Park, with its shell walks, fountain, aid shady groves is truly a d 1 lightful place tor recreation. Our next morning after leaving Savannah, dawned a* wc entered tlio mouth of the St. John’s. V’e had touched at Foruandiua ) during the night, consequently saw nothing of the place. Wo will not attempt at this time, a description of the St. John’s The scenery is maguitieetiliy varied, striking the tourist with peculiarities that can bn claimed by no other river on this continent. After passing Jacksonville, the stream looses al! resemblance to a river and presents more the appearance of a chain of beautiful lakes, which continue as far up as Piiatka. Here, after a few hours walk around the place, we jiiiu.-* mtly removed hag and baggage from the Dictator to the the steamer Starlight; the the river no longer affording sufficient depth of water f< r o largo a boat as the Dictator Here we can but return our thanks to Mr. L. M. Cokktkr, Jr. the modest, unassuming maid Purser of the Dictator, for his many kind attentions throughout the trip, seeing our party on board the Starlight, ami paving the ’••ay for our making new friends. Here too; we met, in the Captain of the Starlight, a familiar name and face, Capt. Mansi-ieui, long and favorably known in our Pce-Pct section, as a veteran in the steamboat luv- rmss, who with his attentive Purser, soon mvjo us feel once more at home. After leaving Piiatka, we were not long in reach ing Lake George, the largest of the chain, the farther shore receding from the view, had much the appearance oft calm ocean, after passing through one or two smaller 1: kes the river becomes narrow and tortuous with low muddy lacks thickly vroode l in places, alternating with lagoons, rir.v-hes, i occasionally with extrusive Prairie’s. •'; mid continued for the greater r, '-•. 1,* lively and exciting scene, r . *• jJbry rifle, sh gun, and pistol ,, B . Iha warm sunshines had everything from a coot loan aligator was duly honored with a volley. Some were made to jump in, and others out of the wa ter. No reliable estimate of the killed and wounded will ever be made. 'ilie miserable reptiles wore not altogether without sympathisers; there was not wanting among the numerous passengers a few of those f’htfanthrofiic, tender-hearted, Puritan ical specimens of female yaukcedom; who. as we ruppnse, from the want of a proper “fellow-feeling in their bosonis’eould laugh at Southern blood and suffering as nothing; yet shed croekadile tears over a dying aliga tor, and put up a most piteous plea for the poor, innocent creatures. I may be wrong in my surmise as to the cause of such inconsistency; perhaps ’tis na tural with them to love the negro and the aligator, as they strongly resemble in color and scent. Our remarks on yankeedom, is by no means intended as generally applicable. We have met a good many Northern gentlemen, and ladies from whose society we have de rived much pleasure during our travel. Our present stopping place is situated on the southern shore of bako Monroe, opposite the village of Enterprise. Melonville takes its name from Capt. -Mellon, who was killed here in an encounter with the Indians. The lake is a pretty sheet of water, some five or six miles wide, with* sandy beach gently ■slnpltirr i H { 0 the deep water. The lands sur rounding, ami immediately adjoining the lake are generally low and fiat, with a dense g -th of palmetto, live oak, Ac., with a small undergrowth, evidently good'snil, but very difficult and expensive to clear and pre- prarc for eultivotion. This description of land extends but a few hundred yards from shore, when it gently rises into a pine barren interspersed with small ponds and lakes, the higher portions having a growth of scrub- oak. To all appearances the land in its wild state presents quite an unfavorable and un inviting aspect to the farmer in search of land, all the evidences of a miserably poor soil surround him; scattering scruh-oak, white sand, and wire grass, are to be seen on every side, and were it not that others who are acquainted with the hidden virtues of the soil, and arc practically demonstrating them, few indeed would ever dream ofscttling here. After a walk of about one mile from the steamer’s landing, over a sandy read, though a desolate tract, all at once, arising a slight elevation, and “Presto,” ichat a change, we were entering a magnificent grove of more than a thousand orange trees, all fragrant with blooms, with here and there the bright luscious fruit, peeping through the rich foilugo, still farther on and before getting through the grove, wo observed a row" of bemon*trees, presenting somewhat the ap pearance of tall hedges of Osage orange, con tinuing our stroll, we raw th* Pine-apple, Panama, Citron Guava, »nd other tropica! and semi-tropical plante, all seeming to flour ish as though they felt at home. Sweet po tatoes and cotton of last year’s planting still growing. We could hero realize to the full extent, our change of lattitude, not only- in the tropical fruits, but in the ewymicas with which wc sought the shade, and the ladies of our party in purchasing sun-downs and parasols. This portion of the State is now attracting attention, on account of its perfect adaption to tho raising of most of the tropical fruits. There is quite a number of Carolinians and Georgians, who from the nucleus of what promises to be a very flourishing and delight ful neighborhood. 'jTJie remarkable kind' ness, sociability, and intelligence of those with whom we have been thrown, has very much endeared ?§c place and its good peo ple in our memory—especially are wo in debted to Mr Martin, of “The Lake Mon roe House.” This hotel is within a hundred yards of the lauding—Mclcnville boasts of another excellent hotel, kept by Maj. Marks, with a name not to be found in “Webster’s unabridged,” we cant remember it, and sup pose that the Major must have gotten it from some of those un-reconsir act'd red fellows in the Everglades. Should any of our rSaders get “ Orange, on the brain'’ or having any reason for visiting this section of the State, and at the time de sire to meet one of the most accommodating landlords anywhere, under the Lord's hea ven’s. just step off the boat at Melonville, and ask for Mr. Martin, and you will find what you are looking for—and when you reach his hospitable roof you will then sec what you have read of. •■The Lady of the Lake,” the estimable wife of a worthy man. iou will also find in Mr. Evans, who it a joint partner in the hot, 1, a clever, quiet gen- tleiiuin, whose am-able lady, did mueh to render our stay at Me!onviile a pleasant one.

As much reading matter in this particular line as any farmer can well dispose of bef'>re the next will be out. And variety withal. Articles that excels for literary exe cution, unpretending articles choke-full of facts, article that combine the two. “Agri culture in Education,” by Win. Dinkney Starke, can be read with equal profit and pleasure by the philosopher and the planter. “My Plantation is a well considered planter’s Utopia. Snarl's “Short comings in Farming" will touch many reader* .n a tender place. “Novel and Curious Vegetables,” handsome ly illustrated,is worth th year’s subscription. But why attempt a selection, much less an enumeration of the good things in this un usually good number of an unusually good magazine. The table of of comteuts occupies an entire page, and there is not an article that the thoughtful farmer will neglect to read. The Rural Carolinian, contains monthly sixty-four pages of reading matter beauti fully illustrated, is published for the wonder fully small sum of 82 yer annum, by Walker, Evans & Cogswell and D. Wyatt Aiken, Charleston, S. C. The Sumter News. The enterprising go-ahead paper, published at Sumter S. C., by Messrs. Dark & Osteen —two pratica! printers—announces a new Original Story, from the pen of the lakntcd author John Withersi-oon Ervin, entitled The Mysterious Marriage., to be commented on the jgii of April, which will be followed year by other Original Stories by anguished writer, good time to subscribe for. the 8'd.OO in advance—two’ c^ipi^s as above. eral and extremely accommodating spirit on the part of all concerned. Our own pnro.ha. ses of Saturday could nut be duplicated by Charleston, at the prices we paid, and we had the advantage of seeing what we were 1 about to buy. Mr. Jacobi, who is so favora bly known, deserves great praise, the thanks and the cordial support of every man of sense in the country, for the public spirit and enterprise be has displayed in underta king such a “big thing.” He is very liber al and pleasant. After a few minutes chat with him, we were pleased to learn that he had fully determined to continue these auc tion sales, and wholesale business, and that the liberal patronage, and good wishes of the peopls warranted him in doing so. Owing to the inclemency of the weather, many who wanted to be there, had to stay at home, but iu spite 1 of the rain, among the crowd wc met such thorough going business men as G. J. W. McCall, Capt. McSwain,L. W. Lide, Dr, Normeut, II. E. P. Sanders, S. Burch, Dr. Johnson, P. C.Coggeshcll, A.P. Lucas, Mr. Hamby, and last, but not least, our beloved parson, Itov. J. O. B. Dargan. The sale went off well and at living prices, and ail who bought went home well pleased indeed. A very large quantity of corn, ba- coh, sugar,s molasses, flour, coffoc, &c., was sold, and a rough glance at friend Stoll's sales book satisfied us that the day’s sale would be something like 825,00 or $.1000. V*'e are now fully satisfied with enterpri sing Florence, and Jacobi’s auctions, fi>r wu went, wo saw, and we bpught.
