The Live Oak and Roland Bluff Rail-
road

LIVE OAK, March 4.-EditOr Morning Neios:
The company constructing the Live Oak and
Roland Bluff Railroad, a road running from
Live Oak. Fla, to a point on the Suwannee
river at or near Roland's Bluff Fla, has a
large force clearing and grubbing the right of
way, and another large force, consisting Of the
Florida convicts, engaged in the work of
grading the roadbed. Both forces are making
commendable progress. and the road will be
completed and equipped at as early date as
Is practicable. From Roland's Bluff there will
be branch road running via Newnansville to
Gainesville, and there connecting with the en-
tire railroad system OF South and East Florida.
The lands along the line of the Live Oak and
Roland's Bluff Railroad are fertile and sus-
eeptible Of high cultivation. The country is
heavily timbered. and offers exceptionally Hne
advantages to parties engaged in the timbe r
and naval stores lines of business. Tba road
will aid very much to develop these and other
interests of this section, which Las not hereto-
fore had any adequate n1Sans of transporta-
tion. It is also proposed to put a line of
steamers on the Suwannee river to run in con-
nectlon with the road, The distance
about twenty-threa miles, and from that point
to Gainesville about forty-two miles, and
it is highly probable that, incidentally Savan-
nah will reap no small benefit in the WaV of
extended trade in this newly opened terri
tory.
Col a. s. Hainss Is President of the new pna
and Col n. u Drane actively engaged in its
construction. which facts guaranfes that ir

cient manner. SYrwINEE

Apalachicofa Tribune: 1.-The good work of
deepening the channel between the present
West Pass anchorage ground for shipping and
our city wharves, is progressing rapidly The
lump or ridge formed across the channel of
late years IS now being cut through to the
width of sixty feet and depth of ten to twelve
feet, and the mud and sand is carried off in
barges and deposited on the westward flats,
and will serve as future breakWater or a bar
rier, TO prevent filling up the channel again.
The appropriation of $40 600 will doubtless 90
a great ways toward improving the channel
and, indeed, it has bettered it very much
already, but it will not be enough to give us a
uniform depth Of twelve to thirteen feet Of
water up TO the city"
Biscayne Bay, Dade county, state that on the
18th of February a Mr.. TuttIS r-ho has been
occupying the Sturtevant property at that
place, set fire to the woods and has caused by
It great destruction and suffering. particularly
among the Seminole Indians who live near
there. The settlement of whites and Indians
north OF Little river, came very near being
burnt completely out. The wind was high at
the tir - nd it was with great exertion that
threeMzzlf9- houses were saved. The fire
burn the fields where the Contie root
grow. 1er from which the people in that
section lake what is called Florida arrowroot.
Both whites and Indians depend largely upon
this root for sustenance, and the loss Of it is a
fOreboding of great distress. The fire swept
through the everglades, burning over the
islands upon which the Indians have their wig
vans and cultivate their little crops The ex-
citment and Indignation is very great. The wan.
tOnness Of the act shows the greater from the
fact that the man who did the damage was
himself amply protected from the flames by a
stone fence. He Immediately left the place
for Mama, and it is said he has gone to Key
West. There is a law against such wanton
setting of fires in this State, and it should be
enforced"
