The character Of the river above
this place is III striking contrast with
that Of the portions below. a few
miles above here the river contracts
rapidly its banks, and discloses those
peculiar features Which make this
peerless river Of the South the ndmi-
ration of every lover of the pictur-
esque and beautiful. The water is
clear, and the banks present a richer
and more luxuriant growth Of semi
tropical vegetation, and then there is
no longer that uniform and monoto-
nous Landscape, as below, while each
bend of the river prese IT'S new beau
ties In delightful and endless variety.
Seven miles alb we Palatka, and we
come to the outlet Of Dunn's Lake,
lying a few miles to the south-east.--
Ten miles above this point is the

astonishing depth of .fory-tirc feet they
found this brick imbedded in the solid earth
Unfortunately Il blow of the pick broke it
before il was seen, but we have Il large por-
ton Of il before us. sufficient to convince any
one that it IS actually brick. 1t is well burned

i very thick; it has also the shape Of the

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, December 1j.-The cluclls Of
Republican senators this morning was L lively
one, and significant of IN impending storm
in the Republican party. There was 4 lively
debate on the question OF thorough inrcsti-
CATION Of the expenditures Of the Govern
ncnt, and not a little exhibition Of ill-fccline
between the Administration senator's and
Schurz and Trumbul, reformers. The breach
between the two wings of the party i widcn,-
ing daily. The friends of Grant in tic CAUCUS
lought hard against the proposed measure of
rigid inquiry into the alarming increase in
public expenditures, but were compelled TO
yield acquicsccnce therein TO avoid the inpll-
tation that refusal would be considered
tantnnount to IN acknowledgment that the
civil service has been SO grossly misnrtnagcd
as to shun daylight. The caucus finally
agreed TO TrIlmbul's resolution for inquiry
into What methods can be rcsortcd to for Sc
curing accountability in The disbursement of
pubic money; whether moneys had been
paid out Illegally, and to what extent cx-
penseS may and ought to be reduced. and
struck out the portion relating TO civil ser
vice.
ConkIinS was furious ut the result Of the
caucus, and several other senator's were not
