FLORIDA.

The Attorney General of Florida has ad-
dressed communication to the Governor,
in which he declares the act of the Legisla.
ture prohibiting the freedmen from keeping
or bearing arms, except by special license,
to be unconstitutional.
OF tine inducements to emigrants and the
agricultural prospects of the State, the fol-
lowing paragraph reports;
Since the termination of hostilities,
Florida has had large accession to her
population. The current of emigration still
moves on. Her fertile soil and genial
climate-her forests of valuable timbers and
boundless pastures-her orange groves-her
innumerable lakes, swarming with a thou
sand species of fish-are inducements to
those who desire to exchange wOrn-out
plantations for fresh alluvial soil. The
Confederate soldier has returned TO his
wonted avocation with alacrity. Her citizens
generally seem to be actuated with that
degree of enterprise which denotes a return
Of prosperity at an early DAY in the future.
The small farms that dot her forests are
being renovated and newly improved. The
long cotton TO which her soil is peculiarly
adapted will constitute the bulk of her crop
the present year, and, in fneness of staple,
closely approximate that which is produced
on our sea island plantations. One hand
will cultivate on her lands, with ease, ten
acres in cotton and five in corn. An average
crop ON the pine lands is bale of long cot
ton, weighing $50 pounds, to three acres,
and twelve bushels of corn per acre of land.
The hammock lands yield more.

ADDRESS READ IN THE METHODIST
EPISCOPAL CONFERENCE.
! the New Orleans Picayune, 7th.


From the New Orleans Picayune. It'll
We can only give a note of one or two
striking passages of this very interesting ad-
dress, read yesterday in the Methodist Gen
eral Conference.
On the subject of its colored congregation
and communicates and their probable leav-
ing this church, some to unite with the Af-
rican Methodist Episcopal church, and some
with the Northern Methodists, while many
would remain, it remarks: "If our labors
are not appreciated by some on earth, our
witness is above and our record in heaven"
As for those who remain with us the church
should provide generously and fully for their
spiritual welfare, 'Of the whites only few
have gone from u.s.
On the subject of education it advises the
establishing Of training schools for young
men who seek the ministry.
As to the changes in policy il speaks with
caution and reticence, as their duty the bish-
ops regard to be to designate action for the
General Conference.
As TO the increase Of the episcopate, they
felt il their duty to speak more boldly and to
say that they were in favor of a bishop for
the Pacific coast, and such an increase in
the number Of bishops here, not that there
should be bishop for each State or Con-
ference, perhaps, but at least enough to make
the bishops pastors of the people as well as
OF the Conference ministers.

THE COTTON IROSFECT IN THE
CANEBRAIE DISTRICT IN ALA
sAMA.

The Selma (Ala) Messenger publishes
some interesting observations in regard TO
the rich canebrake region of Alabama, which
has hitherTD been the successful cotton rais-
ing section Of the State, if not indeed of the
whole South. The estimate seems 90 us
reasonable, and tie reflections worthy of at
feutiun:
a recent visit 10 the plating region has
PUT us in the possession Of some facts which
NAV be of interest 10 those who are de-
sirous tO form an estimate as 10 the relative
size Of the next cotton crop. We are aware
that exaggerated views have gone across the
water, and have already had their influence
IN depressing the price of cotton. Ii is
probable that no section of country has suf-
Tered less from the disturbing influences of
the war than the canebrake region Of South
Alabama At no time was il the scene Of
hostilities
Locked up between rivers. the negro popu-
lation had but little communication with
the outer world, and have less generally
changed their locations than perhaps i'm any
other section Of the country. Provisions
also were plentiful and capital sufficient TO
furnish mules and farming implements for
the whole breadth of arcable land. What
ever observations NAV be made, therefore,
ia this SeCtiun must be considered rs far
above an average of the condition Of the
South. Ii is a region of unsurpassed fer
tility, and at any period before the war
must have produced one-fourth Of the cot
ton crop of Alabama. These few facts which
follow, though not reduced - figures will
readily show what proportion Of this pro-
duct may be expected from the coming crop.
But 20 the facts.
The breadth Of land in cultivation was
estimated by those with whom we conversed
at about two-thirds of that usually planted
ielore the war. This estimation was made
by : gentleman residing in the best portion
nf tbs canebrake--we mean in that portion
ayhioh Is best off as 10 the number of labor
ers. kegaTtheless, we heard Of entire plan
1aii0ns Of yegy fine land lying out Of cult
walton.
'The numbes u black laborers has largely
decreased ON thai Of former years, while
there has been considerable addition Of
white laborers drawn from other sections Of
ahe State where cotton was not usually grown.
Most Of the field labor is now performed by
G8en, the women regarding IL as the duty Of
their husbands 10 support them IN idleness.
These. with the children, constitute, how
ever, reserve force which may be prohtahly
employed 10 picking time.
The prevailing feeling among the la
borers seems 10 be one Of contentmeni with
their wages, and mOst Of them are laboring
lndustriously. The planters, also, are hope
ful, aRe being generally new men, have ae-
ceptee Che situation, and are determined 70

MIssISSIPPI-HoLMEs sCoUNTY.-Says the
Lexington Advertiser; From what We have
been able TO learn from our exchanges, this
section Of the State is surprising all other
places in the success of the labor system,
and in the qualities of good and orderly
citizens. At least three-fourths of the arabic
land in the county had been turned under
by the plow. We are not cursed with that
blight, the Freedmen's Bureau. The freed
man has his equal rights before the courts,
and exact justice is meied to every one in
law. We wish this condition of things may
continue. Peace prevails throughout the
borders of Holmes county and plenty will
soon spread her ample board TO the indus
trious citizen. The rich harvest will repay
the husbandman for his toll. and will tell
what prodigies Of labor can be performed
by the willing individual. The circle Of JOY
we trnst win embrace others whom the mis-
haps Of war have oppressed.
