Extract Of a letter to the Editors, from o.
gentleman on Il uist 10 .Ncw Orleans
NEw-ORLEANs, April %, 1921.
This city has been rendered interesting at
this moment by the arrival of General Jack
son, on his way to Florida. He is idolzed
here--even the few who were for moment
dissatisfied with his measures have forgotten
their irritation, s. unite in the appreciation of
his conduct. You will sec the address of the
Corporation and the Generals reply. There
Is no such dissatisfaction with the Florida
treaty in this country as might be inferred
from the report of the committee of the State
Legislature, which, by the bye, was rejected
by large minority in that body.
1T is understood, that the general is
clothed with similar powers TO those which
were exercised by the Spanish authorities
and that no territorial government will be
organized until the meeting of Congress.
East Florida and Pensacola have excited n
most singular spirit of adventure from vague
ideas of advantages which they offer. The
town will, no doubt become important, and
capital may be employedtO advantage, but
fear that dreadful disappointments will be
experienced by those who go there without
capital. The number of physicians and
lawyers who have gone already, or are pre-
pairing to go, is astonishing. There are six or
eight here waiting the surrender-some are
young men of fine talents. Pensacola and
~. Augustine will exhibit singular spectacle
Tor the first two or three months, and fear
that the numerous Disappointment which
must ensuc will prove injurious, by spreading
untayOrable accounts Of the country.
"The encrease of this town has been prodi-
gious in the last five years. It's stationary
population is fifty Thousand, but the number
OF strangers is much greater than in any of
The northern cities. The amount of produce
shipped from this place is immense. The
present mayor is spoken of as much more
attentive TO the police than any of his pre-
decessors, but there is yet much to be done.

at the prevalence yellow fever whenhe sees
the condition OF the streets. The wooden
