Remarkable Fountain in Florida.

Taking a narrow path we crossed through
some dense underwood, and, all at once,
stood on the banks of the Makulla Spring.
There was basin of water one hundred
yards IN diameter, almost circular. The
thick bushes were almost growing to the
waters edge, and bowling their heads under
the unrippled surface. We stepped into a
skiff and pushed off, Some immense fish
es attracted our attention, and | seized a
spear to strike them. The boatman laugh
ed, and asked me how far beneath the sur
face | supposed they were. L answered a
bout four feet. He assured me they were
at least twenty feet from me; and it was so
The water is of the most wonderful transpa-
rency. Dropping an ordinary pin in the
water-forty feet deep-we saw its head
with perfect distinctness as 1t lay on the
bottom. As we approached the centre L
noticed Jagged, grayish, limestone rock be-
meath us pierced with holes; one seemed to
look into an unfathomable abyss. From its
gorge comes forth with immense velocity a
living river.
Pushing on just beyond its mouth, drop
ped ten cent piece into the water, which IS
one hundred and ninety feet in depth and L
clearly saw it shining on the bottom. This
seems incredible. | think the water posses
ses a nagnifying power, for L am confident
that the piece could not be seen so distinctly
from tower one hundred and ninety feet
high. We rowed to the north side and sud
denly we perceived in the water fish which
were darting hither and thither, and long,
flexible roots, luxuriant grass on the bot
tom all arrayed in the most beautiful prisma-
tic hue Death-like stiffness rcigned around,
and more fairy scene | never beheld
SO great is the quantity of water here
poured forth, that it forms a river of itself
large enough to float fat-boats with cotton.
The planter Who lives mere has thus trans
ported his cotton to St. Marks. Near the
fountain we saw some of the remains of a
Mastadon which had probably drank from
it. The bones were Of immense size, and
showed the animal to have been one of the
largest of his class -Tfarels IN Florida

~ have always considered advertising,
literally and long, to bt the great medium of
success in business, aud prelude to wealth.
Aud have made it an invariable rule too,
to advertise in the dulleSt times, ms well AS
rue that money thus spent is well laid out,
as Keeping my business constantly before the
public, il has secured me many sales that
would otherwise have lost"
Another writer says: "Never buy of the

The New York Herald has published an in
t,rosting account of the commercial activity
10y which the opening of the fall season in
'uat city has been thus far marked 1t seems
TO be wholly without precedent. Conirar,
toNthe fears and expectations Of very llSay
pcrs6us, orr merchants are selling goods OF
81, kinds in quantities aud values far bcyond
those Of any other eason. 1t was universal
~ uraerstood of course that as the South
hat been sv pit bals of everything conducive
10 comfort md had been for four years ex-
cuaea from markets Of all kinds, they would
-1ecd large quantities of goods in every de-
rnrtm Mt TO supply their immediate necessi-
,rs. Bat il was also assumed that they had
ae money, aud thai as immense quantities of
their cotton had been burned or otherwise
,te1 idri the war, they would have no
means of pa.iag for goods to any consdera-
b'5extelt.
But this proves to have been great mis-
take. Southern merchants and traders are
here in great numbers, and they come pre-
Pared, not only to make new purchases of
goods. and ray for them, but also to pay
largely on their debts coNTRAcTED BEFORE
TIVE WAR 1t was supposed that if they
should ever make their appearance 10 our
-ke.s again it would be to beg off from old
indebtedness but, on the contrary, they
come, cash ia hand, to pay their old debts
and unrn new accounts. New Orleans Sa-
sa.nan and Mobile are reported as likely to
r-5 serenity five cents on the dollar of their
IA obligations. Charleston forty, &c. The
.,t N this is done proves eonclusiyel,
that. "a spite OF the rigid measures taken by
the rebel government to drag all the resoure-
e. If the people into the war, they were only
ra-tial,y successful, AMI that large amounts
of cola were boarded aud kept for future
contingencies. As natural consequence of
this pGymeat Of old debts. Soutberuers in our
market have no dificulty in obtaining all
reasonable facilities for the renewal of their
business. Most of the new purchases, how
ever, tTe for cash.
The promptuess with which the old com
ps~ripl relations Of the North and South
have been resumed, offers most favorable au-
rgfy Of the sFeedy restoration of peace and
prosperity TO tie whole country. Commerce
is the grand solvent Il hatreds. Il viii do
far more than bayonets or martial law to-
ward celebrating all resentment between the
tive sections. and giving Us an era of kindly
feeling and cordial cooperation, which, in
consequences Of slavery, We never yet have
