A LAKE IN FLoR1DA.-We take the fol-

While people are crossing the sea every
are all the time being discovered in our
own country. Quite recently rigal to
the Yosemite and Yellowstone Park
has been discovered in Southern Flori-
da. With the exception Of what we
learn from the maps, we have known
very little about the inland sea of Flor
ida, known as Okeechobee Lake. This
lake lies north of the Everglades, is
nearly surrounded by vast swamps and
cypress forests, and is only accessible
at few points on the north side. These
points can only be reached by weary
marches through thickets of reeds and
sedge. Some daring adventurers, how
ever, have succeed not ONLY in reaching
the lake, but in partially exploring it.

them containing some twenty-five square
miles of land.
The accounts of this island represent
it as of exceeding beauty, containing
high hills covered with forests Of mo-
hogany, palmetto. magnolia, land other
semi-tropical trees. A short distance
from the island the water was found to
be nearly two hundred feet deep. On
one island the remains of the handi-
work of civilized men were found, some
of which were of peculiar character
The exhibition of animal life found here
would evidently delight naturalists more

swarmed all around the terrified tourists,
showing through igorance no signs OF
ferocity. On land wild animals APP

ders of, every color, and larger IN size

pended from the trees or run along the

EAST TENNESSEE GETTING IRE
BELLEOJiS.,

bGAsAa6OtS.
Noting the fact that there is not
respectable white man, or even black
one, in East tennessee, who favors the
Civil Rights bill, as passed by the Sen
ate, the Republican London Times says:
THE fact is, We have had legislation
enough. We are now just exactly in
the condition the rebels were In the
first stage of secession: all we want
is to be let alone" After thus dis
tinctly placing itself on secession
ground, this Republican organ pro-
ceeds: If the National Legislature
passes the bill in its present form, it will
be as great an outrage upon the rights
and privileges of the people as the
firing upon Fort Sumter" Could the
hydra-headed monster of rebellion"
and the old spirit of the Shareholders
show its animus more plainly than by
this distinct reference to historic Sum
ter? Listen to what follows:
It is a Jrar measure, and if pass d
into law, it will be done, not to bene-
fit the people at large, but to crafty
the heLlish malice of few fanatics at
the North, and to humble and degrade
the white people of the South. Such
legislation would be a Blot upon our ma
tional escutcheon that would not and
could not be wiped out in a hundred
years. One section of the country,
passing laws for no other purpose than
to degrade the other. 1t is such deUel-
ment as this that inaugurates civil wars
and destroys liberty.
Coming from n Democratic journal,
such threats Of civil war would be taken
up as evidence of the old Rebel"
spirit, and echoed over the North to
affect the November elections. 1t is a
bad rule that does not work both ways,
and to prove the political bent of the
East Tennessee journal in question, we
copy the following from the same issue:
Mr.. Maynard. 50 far, has made the
most brilliant canvass of his life. He
tears to pieces. rs the eagle does Its
living prey. the fTail, weak and rotten
platform Of Democracy, and ut the same
time clearly shows that the supertruc-
ture Of RepubHcanism has for its foun-
dation a solid rock.

BUTLER was the worst beaten man
IN the discussion here, last Monday,
we ever saw. He became furious and
devilish, and frothed and foamed, and
abusive towards Gillenwaters. Gill
lenwaters charged him with selling a
cadetship. Butler said the charge
was false as hell" Mcfarland fol
lowed, and, by the records, proved that
Butler did sell a cadetship, and re-
ceived 5000 for it, and that for the act
a majority in Congress, nearly two
thirds, voted to expel Butler from his
seat. Butler is reckless. But 1t was
amazing to see and have a man stand
up and assert a falsehOOd as he did.
His false statement must have been
most humiliating TO his few friends
here. Butler has more than met his
match on the stump in Mcfarland, who
saddles upon him cadet-peddling, Civil
Rights and salary grabbing, and ex-
poses to public gaze Buffers most in
famous record. Let old Greene do her
part in hurting r. r. Butler from the
seat he has so long and so terribly dis
graced.-GreeaeUiiJe Union, Oct. l..

intention was to return at once to Long

to consent to stay here long enough to
put Kellogg back in power over the
heads of the people he had for so long
robbed and oppressed This being ac-
complished, the advancing season had
caused Long Branch to be deserted.
