Governor Reeds Reply.

TALLAHASSEE Fla, March %, 1871.
SIR Your favor of the 18th instant, refer
ring to the decree of the Spanish government
abolishing slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico, and
inviting information in relation to the results
and practical effects Of the abolition of slavery
in this country. is received, and | have the
honor to reply that it affords me great satsiac-
ton to be able to say that the results in this
State are decidedly beneficial to the people and
the State.
The fact that freedom was accomplished by
violence, and in opposition to the will OF the
STAKEHOLDER, instead of being inauguratsd
through concession and by his consent, has Oc-
casioned much embarrassment. and prevented
many advantages which would otherwise have
been realized; but enough has been developed
to show that it is highly conducive to the pro-
gress, wealth, and prosperity of the State as
well as to the advancement of civilization
Before and for some time after the abolition
Of slavery the theory of the South was, that
the negroes would not work except under com
pnlsoD. and that cotton, the great staple Of
tho South, could not lie produced by free
labor. The falacy of this has been demon
strated by the cotton crop of 1870 which is
equal To the average OF the last foar years
before the war of nndisturbed slave labor.
Ii was also cOntenied that ia freedom and
deprived of the protection and care of their
owner. the slaves would become vamrant and

The sponge trade of florida is daily be
coming more important source of revenue,
particularly ut Key West, and the more
soutber'y portions OF the State, where small
schooners are employed to collect the sponges,
being built for the purpose, half oval shape,
and as Hat is consistent with due regard to
sailing qualities. They lie at anchor in the
channels, and spongers use small boats to gather
the sponges, for which they are often forced to
dive and grapple. After gathering they are
assorted, the different varieties collected upon
strings of convenient length, and bleached in
the sun, when they are ready for market.

The barbarism of the South is illustrated
by many atrocities which have been reported
the last year. Among them liz the burning OF
forty negro churches and school-houses IN the
State of Mississippi within month or two
past. Where are the great societies for the
conversion of the heather?

Rogers, aged months.
Farewell, dear darling Willie.
Fate gave the word, the arrow sped
And pierced our darlng's heart,
And with him all the joys have fed
That life can e'er impart.
What next? The river flowing near,
So dark and deep on this morning bright,
lie plunged into its waters without n fear,
And was borne away to realms of light.
And next you see him so white and fair,
His body with lilies and roses drest
All that is mortal is here,
But his soul has gone to eternal rest.
