LAND TO DE GIVEN AwAY.-The
Fernandina Courier, of the 9th inst =,
contains the two following items:
Some of the very best land in Flo
rida, lying along the railroad, between
Fernandina and Cedar Keys, is being
selected for town sites and laid off in
lots of twenty to eighty acres, to be
given free to actual settlers. These
lands are especially suited to garden
ing and fruit-growing, and in this
superb climate, with the advantages
of rapid communication by rail and
steamship with New York, and the
benefits of thickly settled communi-
ties, will be rapidly taken up and
prove not only pleasant homes for
the occupants, but most profitable
ones. There is not better location
in the whole South for growing and
shipping early vegetables than around
Fernandina and along this railroad.
At this time January 81 all kinds of
vegetables are growing in our gar
dens, untouched by frost. Green
peas are in blossom and fit for the
table. Tomato vines are yet ripen-
ing their second crop. The grass is
green along our walks; the sweet
singing birds fill the mir with their
melody; the atmosphere is balmy as
in vernal May and pure as only here
is known. The long fringed arms of
the numerous banana trees are sway
ing slowly in the gentle breeze and
motion away all thought of care.
But little labor is required to place
family in comfortable condition.
Owing to our position, we can supply
the Northern markets without com
petition, and realize vast returns
from merely few acres. Every in
ducement will be held out to immi-
grants. Persons desiring a good
home, free of cost, should address
the Land Agent, of Florida Railroad,
at Fernandina.
We learn that the proprietors of
the railroad, with the view of colo
nizing their lands, have decided to
give alternate lots of twenty, forty
and eighty acres to emigrants who
will settle and make permanent i'm
provements on them. This is move
in the right direction, and, if carried
out successfully, will be of great
benefit to the State, by introducing n
thrifty and industrious white popula-
ton, as we'll as add materially to the
prosperity of the road.
Could not the "give-away move
ment" be carried out advantageously
in our own State?

to Senator Sprague, the wooden ma
nafacture is now more depressed than
that Of cotton. AS Congress insists
upon drawing the tax of $23, 900, 600
from the South upon the crop Of
1867, it has been proposed to substi-
tute for 1t, as an encouragement to
the production of cotton another
yer, bounty upon the next crop 20
the amount Of two and-a-half cents
q pound. This would accord with
the protective theory. An advance
to the cotton-growipg States, for the
encouragement of the planting inter-
ests, by way of loan of Govern
ment credits, bnsed upon the crop,
has also been proposed. If Congress
rejects these propositions, then it will
follow that an appropriation of equal
amount must be made for the desti-
tute and suffering freedmen of the
planting States. Is .ihat. DC also re-
jected, q very large expenditure must
be made for the prevention of the
disorders which now threaten to rise,
or the suppression of those which
have actually arisen.

ANEW D%IFF1CULTY.

Our dispatches'cOntain grave charg-
Is and much indignation against the
United States Minister TO Paraguay
Charles A. Washburne-who is not
one of the Washburne family, but
another. On the one hand he Is
charged with neglecting TO protect
American citizens, his own attaches
among them, who have been seized,
imprisoned and tortured by Lopez.
What reason Lopez has for putting
American citizens to the torture Is
not stated. 1t may be to crafty his
natural appetite. 1t may be TO de-
velop the accusation that Minister
Washburn engaged in n conspiracy
to assassinate Lopez for Sl4O,OOO.
This is the theory of that incredible
charge. The credible fault charged IS
that Washburne was altogether too
mild hammered toward Lopez, and
left American citizens to his tender
mercies without an effort.
The Evening Post calls for strong
measures instantly-a fleet and a new
minister TO make demands at the
lannon's mouth. And this reminds
us that this is the second difficulty We
nave had with Lopez. In 1850 the
ParaguaVan fort Itapam fired upon
the little steamer Waterwitch, tlien
engaged in a peaceful survey, and
killed a man. Lopez detied the gov
eminent, and Buchanan sent out an
expedition TO bring him to terms. IL
was made celebrated by the delay in
fitting ont the squadron, and by the
Numbering contracts which attended
every stage. Among the rest a lot of
canal propellers, called the Cromwell
Line. was chartered, with the privil-
eye Of purchase. \ sea voyage TO
them was rs perilOus as to q fleet OF
monitors. After a general rebuilding
they were sent out, and with infinite
pains they managed to reach Buenos-
Ayres, where one of them, the
MetacOmet, laid her bones on the
beach, from general debility.
Buchanan sent an old crOny of his
by the name of BOwlin as special
commissioner of peace or war. 1t
was the ~queerest feet and the queer
est commissioner that ever set out.
But the %protracted preparation
frightened Lopez, and he and Com
missioner Bowlin embraced, and all
we got for our costly expedition was
a juicy letter which BoWlin wrote to
Buchanan, describing the Paraguayan
girls and their simple costume. Per-
haps the ease with which he settled
that affair has given Lopez ver
weening confidence in his diplomatic
resources. If we begin again, it is TO
be hoped we will get better satisfac-
ton but meanwhile it is important
TO find out what our case is, and
whether any ~peaceable reparatiOn is
practicable, for Lopez is an ugly
customer, and our iron-clads are all
monitors, which are apt rather to do
for their own crews than for the
enemy.-CReinHdt Gazette.
