We reply with pleasure to the foregoing let
ter, and are happy to furnish any Information IN
our power to enterprisiDg and industrious set
tiers. We answer to the first query: that the
land is generally light and poor in the ncighbor-
hood of st. Augustine, and such as settlers would
not be likely to select for agricultural purposes,
while thew can obtain at Government price 20
per acre) as fine land as any in the world. Such
as it is public land can be had at this price with
in a few miles of our city. BADLY; the nearest
land TO st. Augustine on which the late law OF
Congress has,authorzcd settlements, is about
20 miles: The line runs from the mouth OF Ma
tanzas, 20 miles south Of St Augustine, due
West 10 the Suwannee river. South OF this
line the settlements are authorized. 3rdly; gen.
erally speaking, no part of the United States
is mure healthy than the sea-ccast OF Florida,
and no ne,v country in the United States IS so
healthy as Florida generally. The district OF
country in the interior lying between the st.
Johns and the Snwannee rivers, called Alachua
county, is certainly the garden OF FLORIDA, and
preat portion OF this rich country is included with
in the boundary authorized by The lae act OF Con-
gress to be settled. The land is Gnc, the water
Good-the woods abound with deer and turkeys
the streams with fish, and il is, compared with
any other new country, very healthy. The cll-
mate is line, anu tie range ioT Cdltic So tA'1cI

and with little care. Indeed it is our opinion,

The above is the conclusion Of an article in
the Nashville (Tenn.) Union, in which article
the editor informs us that the revolution in 1871

the peoDle who hpd been cheated and humbugg-

in favor of democracy in ten States only of one
hundred and twenty-four thousand seven hum

This is indeed cheering intelligence, taken in
conneXon with the fact which the editor calls
to our mind, that as individuals or as party, we
have made no concessions, that we stand upon
the same broad and immutabe basis oftruth, are
doing battle for the same holy cause, and advo-
eating the same principles which we were in
1910: ave! the same which the great apostle OF
democracy advocated, and which the hero OF the
Hermitaue was ready TO defend with his best

derenerate DAYS; champions whose devotion 20
