low fever, with the financial pressure of 1854
and 1858, deserted to great extent during the
four years of war, yet 1t has never stood still
or gone back. Since the close OF the war the
increase has been most rapid. Northern capI.

numbers Of invalid and pleasure seeking visit
ors, have all contributed to our city's advance
ment: added to this our railway connections,
additional steamers on the river, and Increased
settlement on the st. Johns, have added to
the trade of Jacksonville. Indeed, by local..
ty, facilities, capital already accumulated and
population, this city 's now, and is destined tc
be, the future metropolis of Eastern Florida

the threshold of our growth. The rapid de
velopment of the southern part of the State
the improved facilities for getting lumber, th.
Improvements of the st. Johns bar, the new
railways to be built, steamships to New Yorl

to hasten the Influx of capital and popula
