From the Key Of the Gulf
The population Of Key West, inside and out
side of the corporation boundaries. is variOusly
estimated at from twelve to sixteen thousand.
1t is asserted by persons well acquainted with
the place that it does not contain half a dozen
families from the sou them states of the Union,
and not twenty families from the northern states,
and that Of the whole population, exclusive OF
the garrison and the United States officials,
there are not twenty-five unacclimated adults.
About one-half of the population are supported
directly or indirectly by the trade in tobacco and
the manufacture of cigars, and the other half
are dependent upon fishing and spOnging. The
tobacco is brought from the West Indies and
most Of it from Cuba Thecigars manufactured
from it are shipped almost exclusively from New
York, either directly by ocean steamer or
through Cedar Key and Fernandina.
