ANOTHER FLOATING ISLAND.

The New York State Mechanic, after giving some
account of the floating island in Derwent Lake, near
keswich in England matches il with one in Clinton,
in the northeastern corner Of this State We copy
what relates to t.-.N. Y. Post.
Remarkable as this floating island may be, 1t is
scarcely SO than one OF similar description IN
Clinton county in this State. Several years since,
Rev. J. w. b Wood, gentleman of an inquiring
turn of mind and then residing not many miles dis
tant, made visit 10 the spot AMI his account was
published in the Christian Advocate and Journal OF
New York city.
''The lake in which the island is found lies in a
deep gorge or rotten gulf Of high table mountains
equally noted through the surrounding country Tor Ms
"huckle berries and its rattle snakes, and called the
Fiat Rock The water Of this lake is very deep, and
the island differs from the above described III con
stantly floating In fact, number OF pines were
growing it at the time OF the visit OF Mr.. Wood,
some Of which were five or six inches in diameter
The surface is covered with the productions peculiar
marshy grounds and though the soil so soft that
a sharpened pole may be thrust completely through,
yet stray cattle have been discovered on at various
times Strictly speaking it is not an island, but a
peninsula, and this will ex lam the apparent neon
sistency contained in the last sentence. However,
that the peninsula, or island (whatever the reader
may please to term it, floats and is disconnected
from the bottom is demonstrated from the fact, that
the wind will it to change its position varying
some days many rods from the preceding Were the
isthmus, that acts anchor, severed, II would
undoubtedly float off, with trees for sails complete
floating island.
'sThat the statement of Mr.. Wood is correct,
from the known character that gentleman has al
ways sustained, cannot be doubted Ii any further
confirmation be necessary, it can easily be given.
The writer Of this article has eonversed with seye-
rail- who confirm the statement from their own know
edge. -

SETTLEMENT OF FLORIDA.

Now that our Indian difficulties are over we look
forward TO the speedy settlement of East Florida
No part of the United States holds out such tempa-
tons to emigrants as this p nnsua, whether we re.
gard the fertility IF It's SOIL the mdness Of its eli.
mate, the richness of its productions. And these
advantages are not confined any class Of emgrants
there is field open to the poor man wi h limited
me ms as well as to the wealthy planter. To
the former, the occupation bill offers home for
nothing, where he may revel in abundance and ac-
quire wealth To the latter, our rich sugar aud cot
ton lands and our almost tropical climate, present
inducements which found in no other portion of
our country. The salubrity of East Florida is well
established by the experience of the army during the
last years, and is attcsted in the able reports
