WHY ElOrldnI

The Washington Chroniele adduces sew
ersl reasons why Florida should be chosen
as the ground for initial experiment with
the new srmed colonization scheme. 1t
says that State is very accessible TO the
North. being only sixty hours from New
York city, and by water conveyance, al
ways cheap and always ready.
Florida, from its peninsula position, can
be easily defended aguinst the entire force
Of the rebel armies, by the aid of a few
gunboa;s along the coast and on the navi
gable rivers. The climate of Florida is
well adapted to Northern people, whose in
valids have been accustomed TO seek and
to find health within her borders.
Florida is the only State which produces
the tropical fruits,and this monopoly viii
soon be source of immense wealth.
Florida is the key to the Gulf Of Mexico
as Gibraler is to the Mediterranean, and
the more securely we hold that State the
better will be our prospects as CONNER
