that are green the year round, it has justly obtained the soubriquet of the Forest City. " Among the, many points of interest here, is the old cemetery, where some of our naughty soldier boys displayed wit rather than kindness ny changing ages of the deceased for instance 40 years of age, to 14O; 90 to 2O1; and many other changes, that should be beneath any human being. Of all which I was ashamed, first that the nation could harbor persons SC degraded; next, that as was informed they should be our own Union Soldiers.
 In Forsyth Park and Parade Ground, or Park Extension, may be seen the Confederate Monument, recently erected by the Ladies Memorial Association. It stands about fifty feet high. On the base of the pilasters are appropriate mottos. On the front panel is a figure representing the South in mourning |; the rear panel shows another military figure. The side panels bear inscriptions, On one is, ''ro the Confederate Dead," on the other, Come fem the four winds, o Breath, and breathe upon these slain, that the may live" |" Above these panels, cornice supports figures representing 'Peace and Hope;" above this is statute representing "Silence" On the topmost penel rests the crowning figure of Resurrection. The whole is beautifully carved, and cost about $25. 900.
 After few days stroll about this delightful city we took the steamer City of Bridgeton for Jacksonville, Fla, where we arrived after about 2S hours sail. This is indeed the land of flowers, yes, where strawberries are ripe in open air in the middle of January. Next we take steamer G. R. Kelsey up the chain of lakes called St.Johns River, to Palatka, a neat little town of about 1.500 inhabitants, and seventy five miles from here. We tarry while in this land of oranges at the Larkin House ;" then, on fine May-l morning, tal7e the steamer 'Pastime'' for Enterprise. where after II hours ride we landed at the well kept and far famed 'Brock House."
 One mile from the House is the "Green Sulphur Spring." the waters of which are delicate green color. The spring is about 100 feet in depth, and 60 feet in diameter and is we'll worth visiting. Horses and boats are furnished here for hunters, and fishermen. There are several smaller sulphur springs nearer the Hotel worth visiting The hotel is about thirty rods from the steamboat landing. and there is small hand car with suitable track over which to convey baggage and pas- sengers to infirm to walk

 To the Editor of the Enquirer. agreeable we will give the readers of the old Enquirer 8 brief description of our sojourning in ''the sunny South" When we read of the snow and ice in old New England, about these days, we call to mind the last ice formed by nature, that our eyes fell upon, which was just South of Richmond, Va. The ice we have. here is made by steam and sells for % cts per. hun- dred tbs. Of this will speak more at length hereafter. Leaving Richmond at an early hour in the evening, we can say but little of the surroundings till day-break, when. first what attracted our attention was the red soil and cotton fields, with here and there a miserable looking dwelling set upon stills Gas there is no occasion for a cellar) and with chimney on the outside at the gable end, presenting to notherner a curious looking abode. A friend remarked that ''the windows and doors were composed of from three to four darkeys' for more reverently speaking colored people) watching the passing train. At the same lime the celored husbandman might be seen blowing in distant field with single mule. We soon began to realize we were ''where dey toll in de cotton and de cane" After two nights and day from Washington we found onr- selves in the city of Savannah where we found comfortable quarters at the Screven House at B 50 per day.
 Savannah has population of from 30 GOO ta 3S,oOO inhabitants, and is unquestionably the handsomest city in the South. Laid out with broad streets, closely shaded by beautiful trees

A recent letter of ex-Gov. Brown, of Geor- ga, is quite reassuring as regards the rights of the negro. It seems that the same amount of money is appropriated to the negro and to the white schools of that state:
 Laws have been enacted here placing the children of the white and colored races upon an equality in proportion to numbers, so far as the distribution and use of the school funds are concerned. It is true. eur schools are kept separate but they receive the same amount of money per capita that the white children do, and we are taxed, as you are aware, about as much as our condition will enable us, to pay for the purpose of common school education. On this point, too, we hear but little murmuring, our people very general. ly agreeing that it is important to educate the children of both races, and submitting with good deal of cheerfulness to the tax they pay for that purpose.
 Not only are the colored common schools we'll supported, but the colored university at Atlanta receives the same appropriation as that granted to the colleges in which whites alone are educated. AS regards the abolition of slavery he says:
 While the abolition of slavery has been terrible loss to us in pecuniary point of view, and has resulted most dissstrously to many intelligent and estimable families, we are led now to conclude that it was the will of Provi- dence that it should occur, and that in the fu- ture our children and their posterity will be more prosperous, self reliant useful, and hap py people than they would have been if the institution had been maintained. And think 1 may now say, without any exaggeration, that not one white citizen in every hundred. prob | ably not one in every five hundred in Georgia and I believe the same feeling to exist general ly in the South would vote to re-establish slavery, or would consent to have it re-estab- 1 lished, under any circumstances.
 The extract from Senator Lamar's North our first page, is one that deserves serious con- sideration. It claims, in effect, that the con- version of the Southern blacks te Democracy is the natural result of the sel6shness the cor ruption, and the final desertion of their Car pet Bag leaders. Mir. Blaine as positively de- nies that any large number of Southern negros vote the Democratic ticket except upon con- pulsion. In short the difference between the Democratic politician and the Republican pol itician regarding negro suffrage has ceased te be conflict of principle and has dwindled into mere issue of fact. Which are we to believe? It would be premature, we imagine, to attempt any positive decision now. While there is unquestionably much compulsion of the negro vote, we do not believe that it is safe to attri- bute the utter collapse of Southern Republican, ism solely to fraud and intimidation. Carpet Bag Republicanism died because it deserved deatk.
