MRS. HARRIET BEECHER S7'OWE'S
LETTER FROM FLORIDA.

In a late number we remarked that Mrs. Beecher
Stowe had settled in Florida. A. long letter ap-
pears in the IVatchman and lleflector, written from
her new home on the St. John's River. This river,
she says, varies from three to eight miles in width,
and seems more like a succession of large lakes than
a river. The finest cotton land for long staple
cotton was supposed to be along its shores. " Not a
third of these 9,000 acres are cleared land, the rest
dense swamp or forest." In olden times, it is said,
700 hands were employed on the plantation. People
in the neighbourhood, who had visited the house in
days of former prosperity, state that it was richly
and tastefully furnished--the table supplied by a
IFrench cook, and the children instructed by tutors
and governesses, for whom a special cottage, called
the school-house, was provided. There were besides
buildings and apparatus for making sugar, as a large
quantity of cane was grown on the land.
" During the war," Mrs. Stowe informs us, " this
whole property had been a sort of frontier ground,
occupied by one party or the other, as they found
it convenient, and by the negroes in the intervals ;
of course every thing is in the most deteriorated
and dilapidated condition. Some parties from New
England are now undertaking to run the place under
the new regime of freedom. They contract with
hands for wages and rations and according to ability,
and all moves on smoothly and harmoniously. They
have not, however, been able to hire enough la-
bourers fully to develope the capabilities of the place.
Many of the negroes prefer taking up lands and
working for themselves to going on plantations
—many cluster round cities, where there are
schools where they and their children can be taught
to read, and where they can have their church ser-
vices, and those social opportunities which they par-
ticularly enjoy. For these reasons, the plantations
all through this region have been obliged to run
with fewer hands than they could work to advan-
tage. The hands are from all parts of the country
—Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
and Florida—waifs and wrecks of families •, wives
whose husbands have been sold, husbands who have
a wife and children here, and wives and children in
one or two other States where their lot has been
cast in other days. All are ignorant. The greater
portion of them are the genuine jet black negro,
and with minds as dark as their faces, so far as any
education or instruction is concerned. But there
are certain facts about this mixed mass who have
thus been floated on to this plantation by the tide
of war, which speak favourably for them.
" Ever since we have been here, it has been cus-
tomary to go to bed at night, leaving all the house
doors and windows wide open, the table often
standing set with silver upon it, and every part of
the house easily accessible, and yet nothing has
been lost. The little children, of whom there arc
always a crowd in a plantation, are fond of hang-
ing about the house, and more than once a train of
them has followed the maid, who does chamber-
work, into different rooms in the house, where
trinkets have been lying about and drawers un-
locked, and yet not an article has ever been taken.
This is the more noticeable, as they arc all so very
poor and destitute, and must inevitably see in our
establishment, and among our clothes, so many
things which must seem to them desirable. That
they do want them is evident enough by their often
begging for them with all the ignorant simplicity of
children.
" It is said that with regard to articles of food it
would not be equally safe to leave doors un-
locked. The smoke-house, where meat and
meal are kept, the store-room of provisions, are
always under lock and key, perhaps because ages of
tradition have made them feel as if plunder here was
a lawful enterprise.
" Another thing to be remarked is, that there is
not such a thing as an unsteady or drunken perm

.
on the_plaee. There is ;:m. ,so
quarrelling or bad lii)guage,
seems to be.to get together and itlig hAlns,r ich
they will do hours at a time, an 'nave-Been icing
all this moonlight evening, only interspersing the
exercise with loudly chanted erlortations from one
or two of the hands who call themselves preachers,
though they can neither read nor write, and are pro-
bably in about as dense ignorance as any of the rest
of them.
" We have been labouring a good part of this
same afternoon to impart to one of these preachers
—who rejoices in the poetic name of Romeo—the
knowledge of the alphabet, at which he has worked
with a jolly stolidity of patience and perseverance,
showing occasionally his great white teeth in a broad
laugh at his own failures, and going at it again with
patient good nature."

remembrance of a long procession of sunny days, of
blue skies, vivid green of blossoming trees ; of let-
tuce, radishe4, green peas in the garden ; of roses
an 1 honeysuckles along the flower border."
Mrs. Stowe appears to revel in the abundance of
fuel, and to appreciate the charms of a Florida wood
fire. Light wood, is the dry pitch pine of these
regions, of which there is a never-ending sup-
ply. . "The woods are full of it, and it is
so surcharged with resin, that the stroke of
a match will light your fire in an instant,
and then it blazes, and glows, and dances with such
a warm, ruddy light, and chatters and crackles with
such a heartsome gladness, that on the whole you
think you would not be without your storm if you
could,—you want the excuse for your light wood
illumination. Light wood has always been the
slave's only luxury—it is now the luxury of every
poor cabin. A room without comforts and without
furniture becomes glowing, warm, and comfortable
to the eye when illuminated by a jolly, crackling
fire of light wood. The pile of woolly heads, and
round, bead-like eyes that generally cluster about
these, catch warm reflections from the dancing
light, and a hut that would otherwise seem a mere
,den of misery and poiiezty becomes a scene of
Warmth anrion i ty.
"In the contracts made with negroes for wages and
rations nothing is ever said of fuel. An unlimited
supply of this is supposed, as a matter of course. A
light wood tree is hacked down and lies in the back
yard, and on it Mose., and Tom., and Pete: exercise
their gifts as seem good, and he who wants the
most has only to cut away, and he gets it ; and
when one tree is split up it is only to haul in ano-
ther. The same tree seems always to be lying there
undergoing the same process of division. The chips
lie around it a foot deep, each chip and splinter
being in itself a treasury of combustion, that a
Northern housekeeper would hoard in secret places,
for kindlings to light our coy and not easily per-
suaded Northern fires.

experience in the world, that Florida is the only
climate we ever have tried, where the month of
March is really delightful. We remember the bone-
cutting chills of the March winds that used to sweep
down the Compagna and through the streets of old
Rome. We remember the sour, shivering chills of
the spring in Naples, and we say, in review of all,
c
that the climate of Fondai is as nearly perfect as
be hoped for in this imperfect planet of ours.
On the St. John's River we are only fifteen miles
on the sea breezes flow in with a delightful fresh-
ness. One constantly feels in the air the liveliness
from the open ocean, and whenever a hot day comes
I and vivacity which is peculiar to the sea coast, yet
without the harshness of more northern regions."

CHEAPNESS IN NEWSPAPERS.—Probably enough
many readers may scarcely be aware of the costliness of the
efforts to which newspapers are driven in times of "press
of matter"—for in truth we aro not ignorant of the ex-
istence of persons who live in the belief that they aro en-
titled to have the Times, Punch, and the Scotsman rolled into
one, and all for a penny. On Saturday, for instance, the.
Scotsman was printed, for the third time during the sittings
of the General Assemblies, on a sheet of paper, larger
with perhaps a solitary exception, than has over been used
for any other daily paper in the kingdom. The sheet
contained 61 columns of mattetver about 18,000 lines, and
fully 160,000 words, or more than would fill an ordinary
three-volume novel, which is sold at nearly four hundred
times the price of a copy of the Scotsman. Nearly the
whole of this matter is from manuscript, prepared in our
office during the evening and night; and it has to be put
in type, corrected, and printed off long before breakfast
time, though the impression,, if laid out sheet by sheet in a.
continued line, would extend for twenty-four mile-0 ; or if
made up in a square, would cover a field of twelve acres.
The cost of the raw unprinted sheet if paper of this size is
somewhat more than the price at which it is sold when
printed, and it can scarcely therefore be regarded, even by
the most inveterate bargain-hunter, as otherwise then a
very "big pennyworth."—Scotsman.
The story of the landing of the Americans near
Dungarvan, as told to the magistrates by the fishermen
who brought them ashore in the hooker, was that, while
pursuing their fishing, they were hailed by a brigantine of
smart appearance, copper-fastened, trimly built, sitting
very low in the water, and having new white sails, upon
flying and there was no mime on the stern. Tho owner of the
whose deck there appeared but fou r men. She bad no colours
hooker was asked to put a couple of men ashore. He
agreed and came alongside. When he did so, a seaman
from the brigantine having made the smack fast to the
ship, suddenly nearly forty mon, not before seen, crowded
up from the hold of tba brigantine and came on board the
fishing-boat. Two sovereigns were given to its owner by
the person who appeared to be captain of the brigantine
when leaving. This occurred at more than three miles
from the shore. The men who wished to got on shore
said they did not desire to be landed at Dungarvan, or
near a coastguard station, and when passing the latter at
Ilelvick, lay down in a boat to conceal themselves. They
were landed eveutually at Ballinagoul strand, a remote
place, and immediately dispersed. The fishermen gave no
further information. The utmost anxiety was shown by
the strangers to got on shore, and some jumped out of
the b at in throe foot of water, and waded in. When
brought before the magistrates they presented an unmis-
takably American appearance, " having square-toed
boots, chin tufts, and luxuriant moustachios." They are
described by one reporter as soldierly in appearance, and
the two supposed leaders, taken near Youghal, wore large
boots drawn over their trousers. They gave their names
as Fitzgerald, O'Connor, Fitzsimons, Murphy, Murray,
Walsh, Lee, Sheehan, and Roche, belonging to Cork; and
Green, Millen, Downey, Lawless, Harley, Kelly, Rooney,
Nugent, Doyle, Green, Costelloe, Buckley, Cogan, Fitz-
gerald (Michael), Leonard—all describing themselves as of
New York, Boston, or Philadelphia. Of these names that of
Millen alone has appeared at anytime in American accounts
of Fenian proceedings. The fishermen declined to identify
any of the men except Cogan. The prisoner offered no
explanation before the magistrates. Augustus Costello°
demanded in a shrill American voice with what offence
ho was charged. Nugent asked by what authority they
were arrested ; had he broken auy law that " he should be
kept hero surrounded with guns and bayonets?" The
powers of the Executive under the suspension of tho
Habeas Corpus Act having been explained to them, they
wore informed. that they were arrested on suspicion of
being Fenians. To the police and others the accounts
given by the prisoners of themselves were inconsis-
tent. Some said they were emigrants to the Brazils,
whose ship had sprung a leak ; others that they worn
bound on a fishing voyage, when their vessel took
fire, and the brigantine had succoured them ; others
that they had loft Bangor, in Wales, and were bound
to Dundalk Bay. The captain of the brigantine spoke
Irish. It is stated by the Cork Examiner that "seve-
ral ladies of Dungarvan subscribed liberally to treat the
prisonersand that the application to allow of

was refused by the " iftexorable"
